Thanks!

I believe it!

I went to Catholic school as a kid. The priests were Hungarian and stridently anti-communist.

I feel like such a chud. Like every one else at the time, we celebrated unification and the Berlin wall coming down.

Looking back, I realize we were fed a constant stream of anti-communist propaganda. It was everywhere. TV, movies, video games, comics, news, etc.

If I’d known an inkling of the truth, I would have thought much differently.

I have never once wanted to get Tik Tok.

This made me seriously consider downloading it.

Bottom left: Comrade Chad.

Of course Eric Prince is going to advocate for funding private military contractors.

The piece of shit that he is with his private army.

She’s working her way through the animal kingdom.

Only a matter of time before she starts hunting the unhoused.

Wild how China is aggressively maintaining industrialization, going so far as to automate factories.

Meanwhile, the west continues to race to the bottom by outsourcing to cheaper countries.

What kind of bug?

Can’t read the article without creating an account. Anybody wanna summit up?

First past the post system is designed to keep the liberal and neoliberal parties in power.

You know what reduces copyright infringement? Making content available, affordable and accessible.

In the golden days of Netflix, I hardly torrented anything.

There’s also a “I’m not going to get some bullshit masquerading as the movie I was looking for.” thing in place.

I belong to a couple private trackers. I use them nearly exclusively and have never once downloaded a bullshit file/virus/whatever. It’s happened a couple times on public ones.

I know who the good uploaders are and know that seeding on the private isn’t going to get me flagged to my ISP, which happened twice before going off public.

I guess what I’m wondering is: why wouldn’t you use one if you can find what you’re looking for?

Love this story.

Some real axis of evil shit going down. Anyone who questions if they’re the baddies at this point is intentionally being obtuse.

Yeah, that part is super fucked up. I have IoT in my ceiling fans. I had to call their support line to have them remotely turn off the beeping that accompanies a button press.

The feature can’t be deactivated locally. I literally had to have my ceiling fan join my Wi-Fi network so that support could remote in and disable a beep that no one could possibly want.

Oh yeah, my oven has Wi-Fi. What possible reason could there be for my oven to have network access? It’s beyond ridiculous.

And then there’s the subscription model. Where you don’t own or even license software. You just continually pay rent.

My whole family is lactose intolerant or milk allergic. My son is too.

Having to navigate a no dairy diet at daycare or school is difficult.

It’s awful newspeak to say “southern Lebanon”. I’m originally from there and have family there. The entire country is less than 150 miles from tip to tip.

It’s a way of segmenting the country to not sound bad. Israel is again bombing Lebanon. There is no country called “southern Lebanon”.

I’ve seen this language used for years to justify bombing and occupation.
