Your data can and will be used against you, by people who want to exploit you. Owning your data is protecting your assets.

I do not dream of labor. Ten years from now I hope I am building apocalypse resistant shelters with my affinity group, growing my own food and filtering my own water, and growing cannabis for trade.

Like fuck you very much for implying that I don't believe black lives matter? When I literally just described the repression of political speech in the workplace I faced?

When I worked at a big box store for years I wasn't allowed to wear my BLM shirt or anything "political" but my Trumper coworkers got away with wearing their Trump shirts or Let's Go Brandon shirts, and they even put Let's Go Brandon stickers up all aroubd the employee facing areas. If you told managers about it they addressed it as a dress code violation and regarded you as a snitch.

Making landfill mining profitable needs to happen for capitalists to want to do it so I guess this is good for now

It's such a trash game mechanic because it forces realism where there is none. You have faster than light travel in your game? Why don't you have teleporters? You have magic in your game? Why don't you have a Bag of Holding? If you are going to impose the constraint on the player for balance or gameplay reasons then at least make it fun, have a mechanic that is interesting in some way. Maybe teleporters and bags of Holding are expensive to build or don't get unlocked until you collect 10 flippityboos but at least reward progression and picking up objects and don't turn every decision into agony.

I was refused service at my bank the other day for not taking off my mask when they asked. They never had a problem with me being masked up before, even when I opened the account. I went and used mobile deposit instead, but it was a really disturbing precedent. I wrote in asking about their policy and instead of a straight answer I was dodged by management.

I don't want to sue them or anything, I just want them to come to their senses and not prohibit me from making a deposit to my account because I don't want to get sick.

Linux OSes have always been the ones to run on everything lol, it took Microsoft like a decade to make Windows run on ARM

Paying for Real Debrid puts them in a legal grey area/they do log your IP. So use a VPN.

They saw people walking in the road because there are no sidewalks and decided to paint a line, brilliant, job well done.

This is not going to be received with nuance in "men's liberation" (as a man I scoff at the very concept) but Happy Valley Oregon is in Clackamas County just southeast of Portland and even though they are a Portland suburbs they position themselves explicitly as an anti-Portland in terms of gender expectations. So you're going to get a pretty skewed picture of what boys are expected to be, compared to even just literally a couple miles northwest in Portland. They went and interviewed the sons of the maga dudes who think everyone in Portland is a weak soyboy antifa cuck or whatever, of course those kids are going to say that they value traditional signs of masculinity and feel like they can't cry when they are sad.

Thank you for the sources. Greenwald is so far right and has gone so far off the deep end of conspiracy theory stuff that it really doesn't make sense to believe anything he says.
