Edit: don’t see the problem anymore.

That’s because they stole the term from anarchists

Oh sure, it’s a fine tactic, it’s just the end goals of the people exercising the power and the amount of it they have that I take issue with.

People forget so quickly that USAID is an acronym and AID doesn’t mean “aid” it means “development”. USAID was a tool of soft power and international manipulation towards exploitation.

Oops we accidentally cut earth like a big wheel of cheese

The privileges of the upper class of a segregated society are hardly universal.

There are a lot more problems in trying to create the infrastructure to enforce sanctioned uses of any readily accessible technology than there is in the use of said tool. The people who want to do the most harm inevitability wind up in the oversight position, while society tends to create enforcement mechanisms at a social, interpersonal level organically already.

Honestly we should recognize how bad it was for them to use “don’t be evil” in the first place. It was a tacit admission of the power and temptation to evil they were and should have never built.

Yeah, drugs aren’t a good coping mechanism for trauma in general?

I don’t use, personally, though I have had opiates for acute pain as most people have. I’m just not a judgemental asshole. Opium isn’t the problem, fent is.

Poverty and trauma makes peoples faces gaunt and haggardly and destroys lives. Heroin addiction is one of many other potential symptoms of poverty and trauma. Plenty of people use opiates and opioids medically and recreationally to no ill effects. The drugs are a comfortable scapegoat for people who care more about maintaining their personal status quo than the ability for other people to survive.

Edit: you can see from the score of this comment how many people still buy into the drug war propaganda.

I feel like I get it now. Of course it’s bad that the us does this. It seemed so obvious I didn’t think that would be the point

Honestly this comment is just so confusing and baffling I’m just dumbfounded. What on earth do you mean? The relationship between China and taiwan is nothing like the relationship between the US and Venezuela

Edit: even if it was…why would it just be presumed to be cool that China close the airspace around Taiwan? Wtf

This is about cookie banners, not paywalls.

No.

When I needed this I reached for whatever generic rtmp cameras were well rated. Blocked them from external access (including outgoing!) at the firewall level and used Zoneminder and some custom scripts to monitor.

You can also just toggle on a blocklist for that in ublock origin

I think it’s also about cult mindsets. If a scientist says the earth is billions of years old that also means there’s no heaven and the alienated existence under capitalism is all you get. There’s a phrase I heard from religious-types: “would you rather this be the closest you get to heaven or hell?” They really see earth as hell and are only here to recruit and die.

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you

I know the ban was before the event, you get what I meant.

Maybe they were petty criminals… Seems like they got organized now haha
