You know soemtimes I catch myself typing furiously and after the 3rd sentence I realize that I really don't give a flying fuck about the whole subject.
Just eat a different ice cream instead of "petitioning" Cornetto.
You misunderestood; I guessed that cell towers could be helpful in circumventing such shutdowns.
I edited my previous comment to make that a little clearer.
It's never been about conviction or honest concern about "freedom" etc. It's been a grift for a loooong time - the only difference is that the grifters are in the White House now.
I listen to a podcast that's been dealing with Alex Jones and Infowars for a long time. Of course that isn't as hot now as it was, say, 10 years ago, but they make it interesting. One of their recurring statements is that Jones used to cheer for values that his current hero - Mango Mussolini - is diametrically opposed to, which kinda proves that he never believed in any of that anyhow. He's just a grifter.
And then they go back in history and find out that Jones himself was influenced by earlier radio grifters. Rightwing media outrage has a looong tradition in the USA, and it's fair to say that it's never been honest.
Believing anything that comes out of teir mouths is like believing that raspberry flavored chapstick represents actual raspberries and their flavor.
Politics across the globe have been playing catch-up with digital realities for so long, it's embarrassing. Only now they're waking up to Facebook & Co, while new shit* pops up all the time, but again and again they believe that restricting a few platforms is the solution.
We need a whole new approach. One that involves politicians listening to actual experts instead of pollsters, I guess. What a mess.
ways to seriously abuse internet users into giving up more data and create more ad revenue for content creators, platform owners, software developers companies. Even babies nowadays (if their parents let them watch that). [edit: yes, that's about youtube, but also about AI if you watch closer. Point is, it's not just one platform, it's content producers putting revenue over content & ethical concerns, since nobody tells them where to stop]
It's a good article for people who got so used to the internet permeating everything that they never considered the underlying infrastructure. But it's there, and it can be controled - not just in Iran; though certainly countries like Iran and Russia put more effort into isolating it than others. But it will never be 100% - circumvention will always be possible - and I don't mean VPNs, just other physical/technical means of accessing & distributing the internet and/or other forms of ditributed messaging. As a layman's guess I'd say cell towers might factor into this.
"Deleting errors", "divisive facts" - it's like he filled his mind with all the right-wing conspiracy bullshit of the past decade or so, then took a whole lotta drugs. Wait...
Enough has been said about the dating apps, so I feel it's OK to remark on something else:
separated from my wife of 31 years - just earlier this month. Honestly, I’m already feeling bored and lonely
Can you provide some more context here? On the face of it it makes you sound like being dependent on a woman to keep you company. Sorry if I misinterprete that. But shouldn't you be rather busy with other things now - idk, moving, settling in, changing your life alround, finding new friends, recovering from the separation...
FWIW, my (now) 52yo brother and his wife found each other through a dating site/app almost 10 years ago. They seem to be doing well.
But a little besides the point OP is trying to make - which is about Jesus' teachings themselves, not the cult that grew up around it - as far as we can deduce what Jesus actually did and said of course. Which isn't much but enough to come to a similar conclusion as OP claims.
Oh yeah, "Deregulate Everything". Because that has done the USA a world of good in the past 100 years.
Not sure what's supposed to be democratic about it. Or I guess they mean Democratic: OK, it needs to be pointed out. But isn't that like pointing at the splinter in the Democrat's eye while ignoring the beam in the Republican's eye?
Northern Europe. Shots fired in my neighborhood. Cops rolled up a dozen strong, with bulletproof shields, and searched for the shooter for hours.
OTOH: bike stolen. Police said, unless you have the frame number there's nothing we can do. And even if you had, very little. They did take my report though.
I bought a much bigger/harder lock immediately, and it hasn't happened since.
