Signal literally couldn’t give away your communications if they wanted to, everyone who disagrees with the way things are going should be using it.

I have this terrible feeling that Turkey would veto, even if somehow we could distract Trump with enough McDonald’s and fake tits to try to get it done.

Dihydrogen monoxide?

This is incorrect. Source: do it all the time for work.

We are still using VGA on current gen installations for the primary display on the most expensive patient monitoring system products in the world. If there’s a second display it gets displayport. 1080p is still the max resolution.

That’s what that means, yes. Worked for me though.

Trump and Elon are going to crash the economy. I know the stock market is actually based on rich people vibes, but I can’t see it not tanking at some point, quite possibly soon. I took all the money I had saved for a down payment on a house out of the market on Tuesday.

But how could we ban the content when the owners of the media are fascists? When all three branches of the government are dominated by people who rely on this messaging?

You want people to relax while we’re in the beginning of a fascist takeover of our country?

I live in the state that gave Trump his highest margin of victory, so I have seen what you describe many times.

My friend listened to punk music and played in punk bands. He was very conservative politically. I hadn’t seen him in a while and we decided to go to a show hours away and catch up. We had stopped talking politics to preserve our friendship. We were on our way back from the show, listening to Rancid, and I couldn’t stand it anymore. I was like “hey man, you love this music, but do you not hear the lyrics? How can you say the things you say?” I didn’t know he had changed.

He had been doing survey work for a mining company for years. He explained that after he got out of that job, everything became clear. He wasn’t conservative anymore, in fact he had become progressive.

He explained that when he worked with nothing but hard right conservatives, with Fox News on all day, it seeped into his brain and corrupted him.

This is an intelligent man I’m talking about. He was a victim of propaganda and was smart enough to realize it once he was away from it.

This is always on my mind:

"“We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated.”

Trump said this at a speech in Nevada during the primary in 2016, and people cheered.

It’s happened twice to me, I’m now 41. I was able to get it resolved both times but it was not easy and in the first case seriously hurt my credit score for seven years.

When you die your social is reused and assigned to someone else eventually.

This is not true, but often repeated. From SSA

This has happened many times. In the last city I lived in, a man went in to have a leg amputated and they got the wrong one, so he ended up with zero legs.

At one point in the campaign JD Vance suggested that people with children should get more votes than childfree people. I’m certain he, and many others, would be down for that.

Banks and nations. Saudi Arabia was a big contributor. I wonder why a theocratic dictatorship would want influence over a worldwide free speech platform?

That’s so fucking clever, I love it.

Around 2006, a woman was able to start an account with the local power company with my SSN and name. She said she was my girlfriend and was setting it up for me. I know this because the person setting up the account made a note of it at the time. She ran it up over $300 and then let them close it. I didn’t find out about it until a few years later when I had to set up electric in my name (lived with roommates from 2002 until like 2016). They told me they wouldn’t start a new account until I paid what I owed.

I don’t think this is possible anymore, but even at the time it’s unbelievable that it was allowed.

Altavista was the shit when it came out. My classmates and friends were surprised at how quick I was getting answers or general information. Altavista, that’s it. If you’re using Ask Jeeves or Yahoo you’re going to have a hard time.

I can’t remember how I found out about it, but it’s what I used until Google came out. Anyone know if they were the first to use web crawlers like that or did they just popularize the concept?

Likely whatever she wants to be given the current politics in the US. It’s blatantly unconstitutional but it will probably not be stopped. If we don’t change course, sooner or later it will be like the religious police in Iran.
