Yeah, I think their CEO might have QNAP stock or something.

It’s hilarious how dumb this is.

Literally Auschwitz. The pictures are the same.

It also shows, they want the hostages dead. No way the hostages survive if Hamas starves to death.

That’s why I don’t keep my brushes in the same room as my toilet.

So touching dead skin cells with my skin is supposed to be a biohazard?

First time I hear that.

I guess I also shouldn’t shake hands anymore.

How so? I’m not coughing or spitting on the desk.

Dead skin cells, sure, but that’s not a biohazard.

The gunk is just compacted dust from the desk surfaces.

Perhaps a bit gross, but it’s mostly stuff you’re breathing in daily, just now visible due to being compacted.

Super gross to me would imply something like bodily fluids or other biohazard.

Am I missing something?

Yeah, I agree.

On reddit it seems the remaining human commentators are those who have taken over the mannerisms of the bots and adjusted to talking to the bots.

And you always get stuck in these endless loops of hostile disagreement.

That’s just not how normal humans argue. Even on the internet.

Normal humans either agree to disagree or just give up. In both cases ending the conversation after all useful things have been said.

I agree. Very much like Reddit in the early days.

Also, the level of civility and intellect in the comments is relatively high.

Bingo.

The idea that CEO’s will put morals over profits is hopelessly naive.

If you want companies to act morally, you need to implement legislation and be willing to enforce that legislation. And not small million dollar fines, serious fines like 10% of revenue and personal liability and even jail time for executives.

But the American public only cares about having the stock market go up. They don’t care about their data.

We have long passed the point where lobbying and bribing were just doing your fiduciary duty.

And indeed, it seems we are back to feudalism and you have to pay tribute to the divine king and kiss his ring.

In addition to that, having kids, crossing international borders and moving to different countries are also things where marriage gives benefits.

And in some jurisdictions, there can be very significant tax advantages.

Which is why there was always a big fight for marriage equality.

But if you don’t want all these legal benefits, then co-habiting is fine.

And how will they know if you’re a fundie or not?

What they’re doing is checking phones and social media. If they see you are a member of some antifa or BLM org, they’ll get you.

So don’t do those things via Facebook. Use meshtastic and hide your receiver.

But if you practice good OpSec and all they see is baseball, BBQ and church, then they won’t be able to tell the difference.

Thanks for the effort post with great tips!

I would also really recommend having a physical community near you, not just online contacts.

I would even go so far as to say: join a progressive protestant church It’s not a silver bullet, but the fascists in the US are Christian Nationalists and some of them will hesitate to mistreat a Christian. And some of them will feel an obligation towards a Christian.

This is a big part of why Martin Luther King wasn’t killed earlier. The thugs in the 50s had no problem persecuting “godless heathens” in the McCarthy era, but black Christians were Christians.

And yes, they were also mistreated, but it would have been much worse if they had been atheist or communist.

Fascists divide the world very black and white. Us v. Them

Looking like them provides a survival advantage.

Not in the US, but it would make more sense to spread it out over multiple years to avoid the tax.

They would immediately nationalize Microsofts Europe operations and the crack would be an official patch signed and released by Microsoft Europe.

No sick ASCII art though.

Yes and no.

For non-cloud stuff, the EU would quickly legitimize cracks that circumvent anything they would try.

For Cloud stuff, they can more easily turn that off, but then they would need to forfeit all their EU business and assets.

I once read an article many years about how arsonists were burning expensive cars in Berlin. The journalist indeed reported that they would light barbecue starters under the tires.

If I recall correctly, they would even place it a little bit further under the car (i.e. not the outside) so that any passerbys wouldn’t notice anything until the tire was properly burning.

This was before Tesla’s though, which have a sentry mode

With the more recent cases, I have read that they smash the windows and throw Molotov cocktails inside, but I think that would draw a lot of attention and make alarms go off.

On the other hand, I think this method might have less risk of the sentry mode filming.

Agreed, this article would have made sense in 2020 or earlier.

And now we have the fediverse, which is causing a resurgence of content that is independent of Reddit or Discord.

Most people use seedboxes for private trackers, which are superior and just as private as a VPN.

But yeah, it’s a different ecosystem and it’s not for everyone.

I do think it has replaced the old DC++ hubs of old.

Good find. I am convinced Tesla is the Enron of our day.

The scheme only works as long as most people keep holding their stock. Once they start selling, it will be a very quick road down.
