@Cat_Guevara42@ForTullos I sort of understand the first part of your argument, but the second part and how you phrase it kind of reminds me of how people like Riley Gaines talk about trans athletes and trans people in general.
“Their discrimination is more valid”?!?
@GunnerDobbins This feels almost like something out a Percy Jackson book. The mythology is so vast and ridiculous that you can't help but laugh out loud.
Last night I found something in my Gmail settings I cannot unsee.
A box, ticked by default, has been letting an AI read every email in my inbox and build a profile from it. Yours is almost certainly on too, right now.
I shut off three settings before bed. Do these now:
New today: Peter Thiel's secret society of illuminati had a website so insecure it exposed his entire membership list. And it's... interesting. His Palatantir folks, sure. Leonard Leo. The president of Stanford. Ezra Klein. And some D politicians who really shouldn't be there. 1/
We are in the final stage of capitalism where global capital can’t expand or sustain past profits. It now consumes public institutions and key systems, sacrificing democracy, welfare, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and ecosystems for short-term gain.
If the UK ever bans VPNs, don’t buy the line that “only criminals need privacy”.
That is absolute nonsense.
Normal people use VPNs for banking, public Wi-Fi, working from home, travelling abroad, protecting business accounts, journalism, whistleblowing and basic online privacy.
A ban would not stop serious criminals.
They would just find another way.
The people it would hurt are ordinary, law-abiding citizens who simply don’t want every click, search and message tracked.
Privacy is not suspicious.
Privacy is protection.
And once any government starts banning privacy tools, you have to ask:
What exactly are they trying to stop us seeing, saying, or protecting?
@WrathOfSCARR@steveth75737857 “Act out your little religious fantasies”? Don’t you just mean they’ll practice their religion? How does any of that concern you? What’s so wrong if someone does this?
@BadFilmTakes1 I think this is what producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, who at the time had full creative control of the 007 franchise, were going for. They had a very reactive approach to making Bond films, and were always trying to capture what was popular at the time.
@HunterBiden@jimmy_walt801 Your father chose enabling this genocide over EVERYTHING else. He sold out his voters, the Democratic Party, and the future of America and the world to keep the slaughter going. History will see your administration in the same light as the Buchanan administration.
