I was happy to read that he felt like he failed in his work with the CIA.
It doesn’t excuse anything but I do take great joy in him knowing that he was a failure at his lifes work in the end. For someone like him I bet that really messed with his head.


Yeah that line on the CIAs website about how “this is no longer the views of the agency” or however they word it exactly cracks me up every time.
Brotha have you ever thought about starting to cut back and see how it feels?
Man I really hope you can get this under control for yourself dude. The methadone might be a hassle but it can seriously be one of the best ways to get you out of the cycle. It does work and will make you not get sick which can then help you focus on living your life like other people that aren’t using drugs.
That’s the hardest part is transitioning back to what normal people do and are about and it takes awhile to actually feel that joy from those things but I swear dude it will happen after enough time and it will move you like nothing else has to be on that end of it and look back and see what you overcame. I don’t know you, but I believe in you seriously. Believe in yourself because you can overcome this problem in your life if you put all your effort into it. I promise its worth it.

Some of the ones I remember most are the ones where the pediatricians would experiment on the bodies of some of the kids who died in the hospitals and not tell the parents, and when they gave that CIA guy a heroic mega dose of LSD and put him in a mirrored room with prostitues and he jumped out a window or the one where they fed kids in the “science club” at their school irradiated oats from the Quaker Oats corporation (trademark! They knew about it) just to see what would happen to them.
There’s way worse than that in there though. Some real freakshow shit but honestly just imagine all the shit someone was reading through all this saw to want to black out whole pages of information.
I bet you its because some of it might still be ongoing.
I swear to god dude those files changed 12 year old me when I found out about them.
It seriously tore me apart I was asking all of my teachers about it, every single adult I know “Did you know that we did this?? Why don’t we learn about this here in school?” I obsessed over it.
My dad finally told me to tone it the fuck down, so I did. But I still think about them all the time because it was like one of the first glimpses I had into the fact that people we are supposed to trust are untrustworthy.
Have you ever had a bad time on it?
I know a lot of people that say this about using it to heal and stuff and man from my perspective I’m like how!?
Have you ever had a panic attack type of situation on it? If so how do you channel that into something healing? I always just feel so broken down and depressed at the end of trips like that.
Do you pair it with anything that helps? I used to enjoy it so much man and have explosively good times on it but that doesn’t seem to happen anymore now I just worry about shit.


I remember getting roasted on here for not wanting these because “who would be held responsible if one of these ran into my car.”
People were like “if you just want someone to be punished you should rethink your american tough on crime stance” and I said no, I just want to be paid for my shit when it destroys it.
“They will definitely do that” they said, “there’s no way” they wouldn’t have them take accountability they said.
Looks like I was right.


I certainly don’t because it fucked up my entire install. Have to manually reinstall everything now and betting it still won’t work.
I feel like I got played for a $2K laptop. Should have just gotten a Dell or Framework and I knew it at the time but wanted to support Linux development directly.


If you have one of the models with their open source firmware installing another DE will ruin firmware updates for you.
If I’d have known what I know now, I wouldn’t have gotten this laptop.
Last update made it stuck on boot splash screen.


Just had an update fry my install and I have to find time now to backup all my data and reinstall and I’m sure there will be some issues with it since I’m using their custom firmware version.
For a $2K laptop I’m pretty pissed off about that and it will be my last one I ever buy from them.
If you install another DE on it you lose the ability to update their custom firmware.
If I’d have known what I know now I would have gotten a Dell or a Framework.
Before that I would have only complained about the terrible keyboard quality and how cartoonishly large they made the mouse pad. Minor gripes.
Edit: realized this isn’t about system 76 computers but popos as a whole. Still, the update fumble is still relevant so I’ll leave it here.
When you mention Mullvad and who historically makes it all I can find is Amagicom [AB] are they untrustworthy or something like that?
But they are. Since 1998.


Surely there would be a way to disable it altogether

Root access is tricky because it can be less secure overall but I guess this is dependent on your use case.
I think you can still do it but you have to edit the rom beforehand so yeah not out of the box.
As bad as people hate to admit it, this is pretty much the direct cause of anti vax people and shit like it.
The government pretty much created the problem itself by doing this stuff.
