Yep, that’s exactly what it did. Maybe there was a way to do it, say if you had a VPN, but people picked up pretty quick to ban a single IP.

A lot of the actual, serious ones that knew what they were doing got caught. Some went to lulsec to be jerks with no agenda and were caught by the Feds. All that was left were script kiddies that downloaded the Low Orbit Ion Cannon and used scripts they find online. Then they left or were overtaken by alt right idiots.

The original Anonymous are in their 30s and 40s by now. Everyone ages out.

If I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die historic on the Fury Road!

Well, right, it doesn’t have to be a specific OS. I haven’t done much research because I’m my current situation, it’s not a good option for me as (for instance) some of my required 2FA apps won’t validate on a rooted phone.

If that changes, I’d do more research, obviously.

I rooted my phone years ago and it was a chore. Once it finally worked, hardly any of my apps would run and nothing important worked because suddenly a rooted phone isn’t “safe”. It was such a pain in the ass to do updates and fight programs to run that I stopped. I didn’t want to spend hours fixing a device that I really didn’t want to think about.

I would love to install GrapheneOS and have it mostly just work. I hate having my phone locked down like it’s not mine, and it’s one of the reasons I won’t use it for anything important over my desktop.

This parasitic infection isn’t actually any more debilitating than vaccines

Lol wat.

BFG Division from DOOM 2016 or Darude - Sandstorm for the parallels of Run Lola, Run.

But in reality, silence. I’d need to form a plan and amping up on adrenaline wouldn’t help with that.

Try using a non-alcohol-based lotion. If you can’t find one, I’ve had good success with Eucerin. I put lotion on my face and scalp right after my shower, and don’t have any itchiness or flakes.

I couldn’t find a shampoo that fixed anything for me.

If you have it on your elbows or knees (very common), you can try Aquaphor at night. That is pretty sticky, but keeps your skin calm and moist.

A dermatologist can give you some prescription lotion/cream, as well. That also works, but it’s typically a small tube and expensive.

Well I never said indentured servitude wasn’t a form of slavery, but I wanted to make it clear that it wasn’t chattel slavery like was mentioned earlier. I don’t want the two equated, because while some people don’t like the thought of “degrees of slavery”, I think it’s absolutely warranted as human beings in indentured servitude were thought of as human, but chattel slaves were not.

Indentured servitude is NOT chattel slavery. That’s also not what pre-colonial Cherokee practiced, but it’s a closer concept. It’s a much longer oral explanation that I doubt you’d accept anyway.

I suggest you look up the definitions of both before equating the two. I’m partially Cherokee, and another part was a white man who was shipped to the American colonies as an indentured servant, under penalty of death. After 14 years he was free, purchased land, chose a wife, and had a family. That family wasn’t born into slavery, the children weren’t sold and shipped off as soon as they could be weaned from their mother’s breast, and he was given all the rights that a white landowner could have in the 1700s. Someone sold into, or born into, chattel slavery could not do this. They were born, lived, and died at the mercy of their master.

There is a reason historians make a distinction. No, neither is acceptable. But chattel slavery was not practiced by native tribes prior to colonization.

Not until white people, no.

Source: am Cherokee and we didn’t have chattel slavery until we were deemed “the south” and tried to fit in. Then some (that were rich enough) got slaves, and treated them horribly. Before that, “slaves” were more like indentured servants in that they could conceivably get freedom and were considered part of the tribe.

There was a huge exhibit in Tahleqah in the Cherokee courthouse museum last summer all about it. Even named names.

Maybe, but I imagine connected people knew something was up with that island. I remember hearing about the “Lolita Express” plane in maybe the early 2000s on the Internet. At the time I probably thought it was a conspiracy theory, but that it reached common people like me indicates that if you’re actually going there, you’d have some questions.

There’s no way he’d know that he’d be outed posthumously as an Epstein Island visitor, and thus no one in the future would want to go meet him in the past.

I’d say that means time travel is still possible!

Wow, can you imagine trying to fix dry eyes by using eye drops, only to have to get them surgically removed to prevent your death? Going blind over eye drops? 4 deaths even…

You see those videos of workers in India doing barefoot work making pots and small metal parts. Turns out that’s everywhere, including your eye drops.

I’m sure the companies responsible won’t have any consequences, but I wish they would. That’s so incredibly reckless and who knows what else we use every day that’s manufactured this carelessly.

I don’t get it. Do we know that the trolley is heading for the people or not? Do we know if flipping the switch moves it away from whatever track that the people are on? Or is it going in the main track in all instances unless you hit the switch?

I assume a villain would aim the trolley at the people, regardless of what track they’re on. That’s why they’re villains. So I would always flip it.

Idk, it makes sense to me. ISPs, utilities, cell phone providers are all guilty of this. I don’t want to read fine print for these sorts of transactions.

What would you rather the FTC tackle?

Additionally, most of Oklahoma is still various reservation lands. That was a recent court ruling, so I suspect this is a few years old.

Counter-counterpoint: When Activision bought and consolidated Blizzard an Blizzard North, they made it worse and people still slave away for them, and enough people buy their objectively inferior products to keep them going on life support to be sold again.

They became a poster child of what’s wrong with the industry (Diablo Immortal) and nobody learned anything. Baulder’s Gate 3 did more to further a healthy ecosystem than any merger has.

Yeah, but chrome doesn’t allow uBlock Origin to run fully, and it allows ads through.

Awesome, that’s good to know! I just assumed they picked if there would be competition due to how some Republicans threatened to “primary” incumbents that didn’t fall in line.
