Oh no, I can’t visit Amerikkkka now

I actually haven’t seen one yet. I just assume it’s an AI voice, reading AI generated text, about something that Netflix’s data about you says you might like.

Using Heliboard now. It’s great. Thanks so much!

Ya I want to know too

economics class

which is absolute ideology anyhow

“Does The Washington Post have a paywall?”

wow, you’re using the everyone else is doing it argument. These are fucking children

I use my (likely knockoff) Kobo that I got cheap from a shady online shop. Adding EPUBs is so damn easy.

Actually you might be right. I was just a bit lazy to research it.

I’ve just seen enough Wikipedia sockpuppet investigations, where the server admin can see what device you’re using. I’m assuming that they can often view your OS and device name, which indeed are easily changable.

This isn’t particularly helpful, but getting off of is gonna end up being a good thing, long term. There’s been a hundred incidents these past few years that have frustrated me on traditional social media. I was very annoyed at the time, but the end result was to get me off their terrible platform, and my mental health has been way better.

If you want to read reddit without posting, just access via old dot reddit dot com. There are browser extensions that do this automatically, which are amazing. You can even access NSFW stuff if need be.

If you need to post to again, you almost certainly need a new device. Reddit probably blocked your MAC address as well as your IP. But you’d probably need a new router cuz that has a MAC address as well. There’s weird ways to change or spoof MAC addresses, but AFAIK they’re not simple.

Maybe someone can correct me on the last paragraph, as I’m only 90% sure.

Honestly I feel a bit uncomfortable seeing nudity in films. I think “he’s this person who’s half my age, so agreed to take her clothes off and be filmed because her job required it”.

Involuntary pornography, my guy. How are you not disgusted at the guy who was arrested?

I often listen to TNG or DS9 or VOY as I know many of us do to fall asleep

Fuck, I’m not the only on who does this?!?!?

I know very very little about India, but it seems like the country is going the neoliberal route of Amerika, bringing some limited wealth, but a heap ton of poverty and stress/competition for those who do have a job. I admire India for their educational system, how hard working and responsibly their citizens are, and how much their country has grown since independence (a difficult feat).

I know that not every Indian is a BJP member, but that’s gotta be embarrassing frustrating as MAGA is in the US. I’ve seen some center-right Indian friends go hard right these last few years. This seems to be everywhere now, though, not just India.

Don’t at me, this is from a place of profound ignorance.

Edit: changed a word so I don’t come off like a racist prick

Fuck Bill Barr. His commentary on Bill Maher was centrist at best. I’ll never forgive him for the other fucked up shit he said, or at least until he actually apologises (spoiler: he won’t).

The Australian Strategic Policy Institute thinktank estimates that 95 civilian universities in China have links to the defence sector.

Oh, the think tank with the guy who gets satellite images of schools and says that it’s definitely a Uighur concentration camp, the one funded by the military.

You realise that they are entering with valid visas, right?

I know that I was almost an adult when Harry Potter came out, but I really tried to get into them as everyone else loved them, but the writing was flat af.

I was a huge Tom Clancy fan as a teen. Thank fucking God I grew out of that shit, or otherwise I’d be a massive chud. The worst fucking part of his books is the way he writes women and relationships, every woman needs to be rescued, and they have no personality of their own.

I just double checked. This was NOT yet published in the NY Times or Washington Post.

Top global firms, such as Ernst & Young and KPMG, did not flag concerns about the bank in their audits, public documents show.

Yet again, capitalist regulation not doing what they promise
