Do they let you view footage live on a PED remotely and keep the video as well?

I love my Ring cameras, although have struggled with the geofencing on the doorbell so now it’s just another camera I move around. When I move next I’ll probably get a wired doorbell, I can face it towards the driveway and steps so it won’t get any passing traffic and only alerts of people actually coming to the door.

Also use the plug in one inside but planning on getting a few more stick up cameras for outside or even the spotlight one TP mentioned would be great.

Some Vegan skank saying killing animals is worse than the holocaust.

Thankfully even in this PC mad world, vegans aren't taken seriously.

Maybe not, but if you believe that animals aren't lesser beings than humans, how could you conclude otherwise?

Those who take offence will do so on the basis that comparing the immense suffering, dispossession, cruelty and mass murder endured by millions of Jews under Hitler to the deaths of animals is insulting because animals are lesser beings than humans. But that's fundamentally in opposition to what many vegans believe, of course. So if they’re starting from that premise, why wouldn’t they see factory farming as comparable?

This is a perfect candidate for this thread, because it's kind of hard to know what else to say other than "WTF":

I know you shouldn't judge without context, but it would have to be some sort of context to explain this one away. Maybe he can claim he identified as a vegan nike / bid advertising exec in the moment and was therefore mentally impaired.

I seriously doubt it tbh. I think he just thought it was funny for some inscrutable reason.

On the other hand, Buddhism and Catholicism do seem to have more in common than most people think…

Religion is always an excuse not a reason, it’s not funny in any way it’s just plain sick

There's nothing funny about it to the observer, but that guy lives in some kind of alternate reality. F knows what he was thinking.
