These stories are horrific.

Alongside the lack of demonstrated humanity is yet another long game of bankrupting everyone. This is how you destroy fifty states worth of tourism, and all the jobs that go with it. North Dakota and Iowa might not notice it, but most states will.

In addition, this is how you assure a lack of skilled labor and scientists, while speeding up brain drain. Education is done here, importing the educated is also done here. I guess the idea, for Trump, is to die with all the money and power and leave a sarcophagus of a nation in his wake.

What’s uncertain? He’s solidifying income for the executive branch sans congress. And thus gutting congressional power over the executive branch before midterms.

Dining out. Takeout.

Elon is babying the hair plugs. Hats that press down on hair plugs are contraindicated. He could not, as an example, wear a knit beanie tight across his head.

Can we take a moment to note what percentage of pics are of this guy steeping his fingers? It’s too flattering, given the destructive role he’s taken on.

He’s either hopping around dressed like a mall teenager from the 1990s, wielding a chainsaw dressed like a mall teenager from the 1990s, or straight faced with steepled fingers.

What should be posted is him Seig heiling or meme style imagery comparing his plasticine face with Mark Zuckerberg. That’s it.

They’re using Signal so nothing is recorded.

Basically there’s a government transparency mandate by We The People. It’s why info gets released to the press and eventually things like the JFK assassination are released years later. It’s why everything the president writes or says is recorded. Because, in theory, they work for We The People and have to answer to us. They can’t do that if no one knows what they’re up to.

Trump admin says, fuck that, fuck We The People, we will now use an end to end encrypted service that cannot be effectively subpoenaed. What we do is our secret, so no one knows what we are up to.

As a messaging service Signsl is as secure and private as the people using it. You want privacy you use WIRE or Signal. Your stuff isn’t recorded on a database like Facebook Messenger, for later subpoenas, it’s just poof, gone, as you delete it. You can even time delete it for everyone in chat after a few minutes, an hour, a week, etc.

As for the phones themselves, I don’t know. In general terms, out of the box, Apple is more secure than android but neither is private, unless the feds get a telemetry removal package or some such which would make sense. GrapheneOS on an Android device (strips all telemetry including that map app) is how we laymen do it.

It’s more likely that Zuck or Musk paid someone to go play moderator. Anyone can become a moderator.

Are we talking about Elon and his dad now? According to Behind the Bastards it’s how they both acquired their first wives.

Isn’t this President Musk’s baby? This will never happen.

It’s the high tech higher money version of taking advantage of migrant workers. It’s like legal indentured service for a visa, and you can bypass some of those pesky labor laws.

This was discussed. Burner while in transit, phone packed, SIM card out and hidden.

Or.

One phone second SIM card for travel.

I still cannot read the word ‘magma’ in anything other than Dr Evil’s voice, as portrayed by Mike Myers.

A large flip book, maybe. Flip it open and use it like a 15” tablet.

Heavy metals in artists’ oil paints.

You can always dig into true crime, see what methods are used to kill husbands.

Check out ChubbyEmu on YouTube. He’s a pharmacist who presents strange and interesting medical stories (with dramatic re-enactments) involving unusual chemical exposures that damage and sometimes kill people. Examples: soda, coconut water from a bad coconut, a fermented soup, ivermectin ordered online, lab chemicals stolen by a student and given to a disliked roommate, and so on. Maybe something there will inspire you. ChubbyEmu does a good job of breaking down complex medical into an easily digestible format.

Option C: use the PC version to sign up and then use an easy mode Reddit-clone app, scroll the main feed and block all the communities you’re not interested in.

The challenge side quests. I could not pursue them in full. Not that the speed runs didn’t have enjoyment, it was just too much. And the brother was both irrational and grating to deal with for that long.

The Mirage info is simultaneously reassuring and infuriating. The latter for money reasons given probable content expectations after Odyssey and Valhalla.

Loved Odyssey and Origins was quite good. Valhalla was too long, too much. Granted I’ve never been into the Thor/Odin pantheon like some people, Tom Middleton’s Loki being the exception. The sheer amount of game (completionist) made me not want to engage Mirage or Shadows.

Aside from that general opinion, AC games are usually spot on for people who can only ingest 2hrs at a time, like it’s their daily or bi-daily TV binge allotment.

The comments are going off about lack of opposition, but the blitzkrieg of crappy actions keeps any substantial opposition from forming. That is working as intended. First term, Steve Bannon called it “muzzle velocity”.

You say oh no, we should….number two problem in the next state over…oh crap we should…and before you can even text your closest friend about it…number three travesty is happening in Maryland…ok but…number 4 travesty is lighting up your phone blocking the half typed text from the first problem….number five happens and it’s personal so now you need to back burner organizing to call your…and number 6 is happening…and you throw your phone on the sofa and go find the top shelf bourbon…just for a second…oh wait now it’s tomorrow and it’s starting all over again.

Working as intended, to overwhelm and prevent opposition from forming.

How effective? Do any of you even remember the name of the guy who shot the healthcare CEO?

The shipping rates will shock you but yes, you can find so many useful things on this site.

Someone posted their ban feedback around here somewhere, that’s how it read. Maybe we’ll get a link from someone more interested in keeping track of such things than I.

“Eat the rich” is specifically cited as a violent and violence encouraging statement, bannable.

Upvotes of such statements will also be given bans.
