My understanding is that AOSP is still and will continue to be a thing. That's Android. What Google has done though is put more and more new capabilities into Play Services, which are not open, rather than AOSP.

I hope someone will correct me or add better nuance though.

Start by not talking to cops, even if they're just potential cops.

I mean, I'm aware that's considered good advice in general. FWIW though I'm assuming this is with 20+ protesters standing in easy earshot, not a private 1:1 conversation. Maybe there are better questions, or someone else should ask? Or is it better to ignore the potential cop? I feel like other protesters would want to be aware who is hiding among them.

I think the point here is to be aware of a combination of these items. e.g. If the person has a vest (more noticeable), they might also be wearing a wire (less obvious).

I'm not sure there's a good excuse to bring handcuffs to a protest. Nothing wrong with being kinky IMO, but leave that shit at home.

So are you saying that asking questions (maybe not these specific ones) wouldn't be helpful here? If so, what do you propose instead? Ignore the person? Notify the protest organizers?

Ok, what's a better way then? I flat out told you I don't have experience with this.

I have no real experience with this IRL (so probably means I'm in the target audience) but I understood the graphic to just be a starting point.

Couldn't it just be resolved with a simple follow-up conversation? e.g.

"Hey you're not a cop, are you?"

"No way man"

"Ok, lift up your shirt for a sec."

If he won't, he's probably wearing a vest and/or wire.

Or alternative scenario: "Hey you're welcome to join, but you gotta ditch the handcuffs."

"What, you mean this tin of sour candy?"

Ha, this one actually made me laugh out loud

Ugh that sounds incredible. I love cinnamon rolls in the first place, so with croissant pastry, hell yeah.

Man I love croissants, they must be one of my top 5 things to eat. Fresh ones don't really need anything at all. They're already buttery. These mango croissants look amazing.

They make a great side for almost anything too. With eggs? Hell yes. With a glass of wine? Duh. Add them to an Irish breakfast with black pudding? Totally works. Cold, on a chicken waldorf sandwich? Of course. With a dollop of ice cream or crème fraîche? If only I could be so lucky.

There's really no wrong way to enjoy a croissant, unless you're putting something totally inedible like drain cleaner with it. There are some foods I would never add, like spray cheese or olives, but that's really just personal preference.

Hey alright. I didn't know if you just wanted something available pre-1900 or specifically a horse. If I knew how to get you the hookup on equestrian pizza I'd be happy to tell ya, but I don't.

It's pretty commonly delivered by bicycle in NYC.
