There's only so much handholding you can do for people who actively refuse to listen to facts and science that tell them their way of life, based on the mining of fossil fuels, is long past being sustainable. The best I can offer is my sympathies that they ignored the same writing on the wall that the rest of us have been reading for a couple of decades. It's on Daddy and Grandpa for not telling their kids that the "family business" is a bad future career choice and not directing them towards something with a more sustainable outlook.

So you know exactly whose door to throw the doggie-bag against. I like it!

Devil's Food Cake!

What's with this meme format having repeated words at the end of the first line and beginning of the second. It happens so frequently it surely can't just be inattention.

German has a word for everything. And if it doesn't, just mash a few other words together and make a new one!

Just mush your face into the keyboard, roll it around a bit, and submit whatever comes out.

Bofa deez nutz!

In an ideal world where people kept their beliefs to themselves, yeah that would be great. When it comes to religion in the US, I'm out of patience with these assholes. Their god isn't anymore real than the Flying Spaghetti Monster, their book isn't any less silly than all the others, and I'm tired of having to put up with their horseshit and suffer their hypocrisies in my legal system, all in the name not stepping on anybody's toes. Fuck their toes. I'm buying steel toed boots and I'm getting to stomping.

I go with, "You know that nasty ass security blanket Pigpen refuses to get rid of from Charlie Brown comics?"

Time to find a dancing baby screensaver again.

So say we're protecting those people then. Makes the hand holding a little more palatable.

That's the fun part, you don't have to be a pioneer. There are plenty of well tested and recommended apps that offer E2EE and aren't under the control of Meta. Post in your family chat telling why the current app is no longer acceptable for use and drop a link to your preferred secure app.

It's always struck me as rather odd that, in the US, one of our major holidays celebrating the military features fireworks considering how awful they can be for many veterans' PTSD.

So does mine, I deleted it anyway. You've got their phone numbers for texting and calling.

Gods I hope we're not to the point of coddling people that we're now structuring our architecture to protect the drunks.

The best kind of nerds. 😈

It was the bar instead of the office for my father. Then he decided to drunkenly beat the everliving fuck out of my mother in front of me, gifting me with lifelong PTSD and the inability to recall "happy" childhood memories (that one flasbulb memory is all that comes up). When he dies I want to go to his funeral to make sure they stick his ass good and deep in the ground. May see if they'll let me shovel some dirt in. Wish the fucker would have stayed at work.

Accepting defeat before the battle has even begun?

I use Proton. May be a bit overkill for what you're looking for if you want just a VPN - Proton includes email, a calendar, and cloud storage - all encrypted. Their VPN client supports port forwarding and split tunneling. They categorize their servers to show which are best for torrenting and/or streaming. Some of their servers also serve as end points for the TOR network.
