Olivie is delicious and no one will tell me otherwise

Everybody’s looking for something

Chat control vote postponed: Huge success in defense of digital privacy of correspondence! (www.patrick-breyer.de)

Today EU governments will not adopt their position on the EU regulation on “combating child sexual abuse”, the so-called chat control regulation, as planned, which would have heralded the end of private messages and secure encryption. The Belgian Council presidency postponed the vote at short notice.

rambling_lunatic,

It’s success. Not huge success, but success. It maintains a mediocre status quo in the face of the possibility of it worsening.

rambling_lunatic,

It was really annoying because just putting the phone down could trigger it at times. I disabled it.

One of the few times Reagan did something good

The many-angled ones live at the bottom of the Mandelbrot Set.

rambling_lunatic,

Yes :)

Learning from the Russian law on “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations” are we?

rambling_lunatic,

So was Estonia.

rambling_lunatic,

Again?

rambling_lunatic,

Sadly yes

Comrade, the USA was founded by rich businessmen, and organized primarily to defend the class interests of that group.

The nation-state has at various points hunted down runaway slaves (Fugitive Slave Act of 1850), used the national guard to put down strikes (the Ludlow Massacre, the Lattimer massacre, the breaking of the Homestead Strike, the West Virginia Coal Wars…), fought violently against peaceful protesters (Kent State shootings, pretty much every protest of the Civil Rights Movement, the DNC protests of 1968, various incidents during the Floyd protests…), arrested and murdered people for ideology rather than proof of actually committing a crime (Sacco and Vanzetti, the Haymarket Martyrs…), drugged and murdered Fred Hampton as he slept next to his pregnant fiance, funded dozens of coups against democratically elected leaders because they were left-leaning, and done countless other things. This is aided by the permanent death grip that capital has on the country.

Even if the process of getting elected was completely untied to wealth (hahaha) and lobbying didn’t exist (lol), at the end of the day the economy is controlled by the capitalists and they can bring a country to its knees if it doesn’t obey. Capital strikes and the threat of disinvestments and layoffs are powerful.

It’s not a bug. It is a feature.

Diet of Worms is a dope name

If structured through direct consensus democracy, rather than the appointment of leaders, the Karens will be powerless.

alt-textIt blows our hivemind that the United States doesn’t use the ISO 216 paper size standard (A4, A5 and the gang). Like, we consider ourselves worldly people and are aware of America’s little idiosyncrasies like mass incarceration, the widespread availability of assault weapons and not being able to transfer money via...

rambling_lunatic,

My country (not USA) uses American paper. I hate it.

rambling_lunatic,

Sorry. Closest we’ve got is the John Brown Gun Club.

Unity of ends and means strikes again!

I think they’re talking about the less addictive and nonaddictive drugs, like ganja and LSD respectively.

rambling_lunatic,

Says the guy with taipans and funnel-web spiders in his yard. You’re also being very cheeky with that “land” qualifier. Your ocean is full of utter murder demons like sea snakes and stonefish.

rambling_lunatic,

I like hiking without dying.

rambling_lunatic,

It’s all in good fun, man. I am somewhat exaggerating my position. Cheers, comrade.

Cries in tropical weather

Even when it rains, it can still be over 30 degrees. Life is pain.

rambling_lunatic,

I feel you, man. I live by the coast. I’ll be lucky if my neighborhood doesn’t join Atlantis in the next decade.

rambling_lunatic,

Why not blame both?

rambling_lunatic,

On the other hand, the policing system encourages screwing over minorities and doing various other scummy things (through a quota system among other things). This does not absolve cops of guilt if they target minorities, lie, or plant drugs.

It’s paraphrased but she said roughly the same thing.

And oftentimes OD if it’s a drug like coke or heroin.

Ah yes, the best way to search for missing people: by shooting up am entire village that ended up having nothing to do with the boy!

rambling_lunatic,

Completely tangential, but imma be real with you: libsocs are fringe too.

Indeed, socialism of any sort is pretty fringe in most of the West.

rambling_lunatic,

Fair

rambling_lunatic,

It takes just as little time to remove the .m. yourself, maybe even less.

I myself do indeed remove the .m.s from my links out of politeness, but it is impolite to demand that others do this.

rambling_lunatic,

Wikipedia reflects the editors. This page was made by 2 guys and a citation not. The type of people who bother to create a page about an obscure Catholic saint are usually Catholics themselves.

Meanwhile, the stories about far-off non-Western cultures are usually written by *philes (Japanophiles (aka weebs) write a lot of crap about Japan, for instance) or anthropologists. These are not the sort of people to actually believe in dragons.

Using drugs as a coping mechanism is a guaranteed path to addiction. Don’t do it, man.

Think of the people you know who drink at parties. How many became alcoholics?

Now think of the people you know who started drinking to cope with grief or depression. How many of those became alcoholics?

I really like Anark’s work. He actually has a well-defined conception of the society he wants to build instead of a vague idea, and a concrete program to advance the goals.

rambling_lunatic,

I have happily succeeded. While there are some communities that are still on Discord, the vast majority of my friends are accessible on Matrix.

rambling_lunatic,

There is one huge thing of value in Matrix: e2ee.

Sadly, the normies don’t care about stuff like that, and the UX is indeed atrocious.

rambling_lunatic,

It is often sketchy. The search function doesn’t work properly. Loading older messages often makes your client spaz out. There’s several glitchy commands. Spamming snowflakes can slow down your client to a crawl. A friend once crashed Element on my phone using a lot of nested quotes with muscle emojis. We had to spam other stuff so I could open Element again because the moment those messages started loading my client crashed again, preventing me from even changing the channel so I could open my app again.

I use Element and Matrix because it is the best privacy-respecting option, but it has a long way to go.

2^32 different incompatible extensions for receiving images and an inability to receive messages when offline. Glorious.

rambling_lunatic,

Yes, I have. With various clients. It sucked.

rambling_lunatic,

OMEMO didn’t allow it either, and IIRC I couldn’t do it while doing it in plaintext either.

rambling_lunatic,

Yeah, man. I tested with a friend. We used Pidgin, Dino, all the famous clients. I don’t know what’s up.

Republican Admits Impeachment Probe Hasn't Found Any Crime by Joe Biden

Representative Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican, told NBC News’ Kristen Welker on Sunday that according to lawyers hired by Congress, “at this point, there’s not a specific crime that’s been committed” by President Joe Biden in the impeachment probe against him.

One of the absolute best videos on the Internet is “The Alt-Right Playbook: Always a Bigger Fish” by Innuendo Studios.

It made things snap together and finally understand why conservatives are the way they are.

Relevant to this news story, they assume that libs and lefties are just like them and are doing the same things they are: pulling every dirty trick in the book to ensure the superiority of their guys and the screwing over everyone different.

Why is the biggest piece of Nazi scaremongering the alleged “fact” that white people are becoming a weak minority? Because they think the black folk will do exactly what they’ve been up to.
