Being Islamophobic is a Virtue now?

A brick.

No, I won’t explain.

Have you tried Retro Music?

I like it and got it in an attempt to move on to something more aesthetically pleasing than VLC, but I just ended up going back to VLC.

The next day, the anti-communist task force said it felt “betrayed” and “hoodwinked”.

That’s ironic projection after literally blindfolding these women.

The United States is a key defence partner of the Philippines and recently concluded two weeks of joint military drills with the country’s armed forces.

Not surprising. I wonder if Philippines gets School of the Americas style education too, would explain where they learned to kidnap young women activists and force them to lie under threat of death as an anti-Communist tactic.

These women are badass though.

I don’t know about Lyft apps, but Uber still lets you use the browser.

God, I fucking wish I lived in Europe.

I loathe glitter.

No, you aren’t. My girlfriend and I hated it.

It was terrible, cliché humor trying to be deep through a pseudo-intellectual and self-centered understanding of nihilism but failing.

…I assume Israel are only bombing valid military targets and not pulling a Russia and targeting civilians, apartment blocks etc, instead, so how could this happen?

Well, if you assumed it then you must be right.

Most of the world is what we would consider hellish right now, yet people still find a way to laugh and love. Watch these poor souls recycling electronics in Africa. Watch bald and bankrupt in bengladesh. Most people alive today live like this and it doesn’t stop them from living life.

You really threw bald people in there as the miserable, wretched of the earth.

No.

Ah, damn. I didn’t know that. Coincidentally, I also already have Privacy Badger.

Thanks, by the way!

Also wondering how much more effective Arkenfox is to tightened security settings, uBlock, Decentraleyes, Ghostery, etc. on Firefox?

I use Ubuntu Budgie and that works perfect for me, but I hear Mint is good for beginners too.

And if you live in the US, always use a VPN when torrenting. But if you live in a country where you know no one will give a shit about you downloading a movie, then have at it.

In terms of digital security best practices, though, you should pretty much always use a VPN anyway. And follow this guide if you feel like you do need a VPN when torrenting.

Wow. That’s incredible. Is it available to watch anywhere?

I am pretty much currently buying shit that would allow me to live through a period of unemployment or crisis very comfortably.

I feel like using the word “people” here is too broad.

As that quotation said, it mostly affects innocent immigrants getting implicated in crimes they weren’t even involved in.

And most immigrant detainees are people of color:

This expanded DNA collection worsens racial disparities in the criminal justice system, as it disproportionately affects communities of color. Black and Latino men are already overrepresented in DNA databases, and adding nearly a million new profiles of immigrant detainees, mostly people of color, will further skew the existing 21 million profiles in CODIS.

Studies suggest that increasing DNA database profiles does not significantly improve crime-solving rates, with the number of crime-scene samples being more relevant. Additionally, inclusion in a DNA database increases the risk of innocent individuals being implicated in crimes. This expanded DNA collection worsens racial disparities in the criminal justice system, as it disproportionately affects communities of color.

I, frankly, am shocked.

Ironic that they say they believe a concept from a show more than any human religion, but it turns out to just be a rehashed belief from one of the most ancient human religions.

Why are the Russians so desperate for Bakhmut? Just to have a win? This feels like very Verdun or Stalingrad.

I don’t know about Bakhmut, but holding Stalingrad had a great strategic importance. The Soviets and Nazis didn’t commit so many forces there just to hold an arbitrary village. It feels weird that you mention it as if there was no real point to it.
