Pardon my hopium, I do hope it’s not misplaced -

Given that it was a blackmail operataion among other things, and it would be mutually assured destruction if any holder of the documents tried to redact themselves and expose others. There must be some level of proliferation of at least partial copies of beyond incriminating evidence on a larger swath of people in current power that we could possibly know now.

They wouldn’t be above using it in party infighting, but there’s no “faction” within the republican party with enough institutional power to get away with the backblow if they were to try to excise certain members. Which does mean there’s still a clock on this, but the fact that they haven’t just released with Bill and Hilary as the only two on the flight logs and dropped it, leads me to believe that this is the stalemate they’re collectively in.

Oh boy! I get a deal buying the replacement? Golly, google must really like me as a consumer.

And my ecobee is arriving in two days.

Old 1060 supporting 4 reolink 4k cameras perfectly over here 👋

Oh and donate to kirks ToiletPaper USA as per sinclair’s demands, glad he didn’t bend any knees.

Genuinely asking, has he refrained from saying such? I swear I’ve heard him saying it prior to even this last election but I could be wrong

Don’t forget: bankruptcy only affects the business, hence golden parachutes. Being a casino owner wasn’t enough, bastard had to screw over the workers too

Well either way, ya’ll better be showing up somewhere when we’re supposed to be voting

I’d wager eugenics would be something you’re for. No thanks.

I wouldn’t wish the worst of dementia on almost anyone…

I sincerely envy your wishfulness

And I haven’t been pessimistic enough to expect everything that’s already happened

God this sucks

John Leghorn is now stuck in my mind, thank you :D

I am so morbidly curious, please elaborate

You aren’t wrong about the abuse, but that doesn’t make it any less a cultural melting pot for those who, you know, don’t partake in hate crime or are themselves immigrants. Believing such has been taken or never existed only assures that they will in fact take that from us, as we do not have something which to continue fending for.

This project was born from a personal mission to revive and improve upon a previous fitness platform. As the primary contributor to the original workout.lol project, I witnessed its journey and abandonment. 🥹

This and other bits from the readme makes it seem that the author was just as burned by the previous project selling out imo

It’s apples and oranges… both can spoil, but I’m deathly alergic to oranges.

No if you’re doing that, use a VPN through your firewall. Local traffic is a fair exception as this can only ever be a device on your network, but that depends on your threat model (as those local devices could be compromised). Opening to “your region’s” IP range opens you to a lot more than LAN access…

Holy fuck i actually sighed relief

Since journalism! Here is his take quoted directly

[On the failure of libertarian politics]

The decade that followed — the roaring 1920s — was so strong that historians have forgotten the depression that started it. The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.

And his ““clarification”” of the obvious misogynism in the original.

It would be absurd to suggest that women’s votes will be taken away or that this would solve the political problems that vex us. While I don’t think any class of people should be disenfranchised, I have little hope that voting will make things better.

Emphasis mine. You’re to telling me, that even in the beginning questioning the notion of womens suffrage isn’t inherently misogynistic. And then follows that up with “nono we shouldn’t disenfranchise, BUT I don’t believe in democracy anyway” for his retort. I would love to live in your alternate reality where you can defend Thiel to begin with… I thought MLs want to eat the rich.

I would wager that some American demographics are a lot more selfish than others… I digress, because it doesn’t change two facts:

Media has long manufactured consent (even lying in doing so 🤯, see: Iraq) for various attrocities committed by the united states government, regardless of popular support.

And second, the gutting of social security by bypassing budget approvals (infraction of sep. of powers) and kidnapping of students based on ideology and without due process (just authortarianism) are part of the same issue currently afflicting the US. If for some reason individuals drive a cudgel between these issues, they’re more than either ignorant to or complicit with the issue they whatabout over.

But on that, given your anecdote is taken from a livestream chat, you may be underestimating just how much astroturfing takes place. We’ve known part of the playbook is to completely overwhelm our media intake, desaturating perceived potency of headlines and happenings. I would go as far to take wedging issues like that to be another tactic… as we’ve seen that strategy successfully work to drive flimsy democrats to 180 on LGBT rights.

If you assume the worst of the people you will need to work with, you won’t get to influence them enough to understand the nature of the issue at hand

But hey! We aren’t talking about innocents now being slaughtered by our operations halfway across the world (again)… almost like a recurring theme…
