forearm position in that capture is about half an inch away from “crush the trachea” compliance and a mile away from “control the head, neck and blood supply” compliance. this is battery with intent to cause severe bodily harm.

idk… i think we can, at least, declare it a WM. tmux is quite possibly my favorite thing ever.

Kratsios, 39, cut his teeth in the world of private industry, spending much of his early career at Thiel Capital, a venture capital firm founded by Silicon Valley stalwart Peter Thiel.

jfc, not this vampire again.

eyeballs that can be verified remain important, yes. however, privacy and pseudo-anonimity are equally important.

most sites use JavaScript to restrict access. Firefox (or its siblings) extensions like noscript are not only useful for bypassing many js walls, but also for general web hygine. noscript is your friend.

what the hell is this trash post?! user is clearly a sleeper ad bot.

wow! self-reflection is something we all need more of (especially me). agree or disagree, converstaions are always better when everyone considers things for a moment. nice comment. :-)

I am sure you already know, but the objection here is going after kids. literally profiling and then abusing their vulnerabilities for profit. this isnt your standard cereal box advertising, I think this is something much darker and more disgusting.

edit: added word

indeed and as expected.

stay safe, friend.

I am so sorry. I have kids that are now trapped in this absolute dumpster fire of a country we have crafted. we need a different way, and getting there may be supremely painful.

I wish I had more to offer than “dont give up”, but its basically what I tell my kids. soon enough the prior failures will be dead and its your job to make sure your contemporary failures never get anywhere near the leavers of power.

to save the economy for the privileged and retain extractive opportunities from the rest of us, there was going to be something stabilizing done. I dont get that feeling now.

the ones responsible for 2008 were the beneficiaries of the bailouts and continued wealth extraction - aside from feeding on the rotting carcass of Lehman Brothers, of course no one but the public paid any real price. the owners of the country wont punish themselves.

2008 at least had the feeling that unified executive and congressional action was possible regardless of universal agreement. I have serious doubts that enough republicans will act in contravention of trump. we are in mad king territory.

we are quickly running out of runway and its still engines on full power and flaps at zero degrees.

agreed, but we are still in the shallows… the follow-on 2008 redux hasnt even started to hit yet - I am waiting for bond market defenestration. this funamentally feels way more “insane”

The data analytic tools now being used to scour social media were enhanced during the Biden administration, a former Biden administration DHS official said. But to use them to search social media of nonviolent students, the official said, is different from what the previous administration intended.

“We were not targeting political activity or speech. We would only review them if they were inciting violence,” the former Biden administration official said.

because the former administrations tools never become the latter administrations weapons. america - running towards fascism since 09/11/2001.

a golden shower, you say?

gotta love the not so subtle use of red shipping containers in many of these thumbnails. perfect!

gitmo is as close as the nearest cia station. hold on to your self-governance with both hands.

I got ya. you may be surprised to learn that, in the us, declining geographic mobility is very much a part of the new feudalism.

by all metrics I can think of, the us is becoming more and more a feudal estate with lords and peasants.

buying consumer crap generally requires consumer income. the us will quickly become a backwater global export destination for anything other than 1% luxury items because the poors will simply be too poor to matter wrt global demand.

assuming you mean the h-1b visa, it does not appear to. I would, however, be very cautious if you are not a us citizen - in this farce of a timeline, trumps $5M “gold card” is likely to be the only non-citizen immigration status soon enough.

deep in his spider hole somewhere, that nazi stephen miller must be having mini orgasms right now.
