  • He was quickly ousted from his position as a popular and respected Minnesota senator during early #metoo, for accusations that you'd never imagine a Republican resigning over, allegations in fact that have failed to take out other more core-party Democrats (Andrew Cuomo comes to mind, he still has a millionaire warchest and is running for NYC mayor this year with full support of the DNC). Democrats fall easily for the virtue olympics.

  • Nobody should ever get the death penalty. Capital murder is a symptom of a fucked up society.

  • They did this to the anarchist assassins (And accused assassins) in the 1930s, too. Started summarily deporting people en masse for their beliefs or presumed beliefs, and executing people after brief appearances in kangaroo courts. Honestly if Germany hadn't gone Nazi and basically dragged the us into a war with them, we would have done it instead.

  • Why don't you access your home computer over VPN from Mexico, manage your transfers on that machine per usual, and just pull whatever you need in Mexico directly from your home machine via your VPN? That way you can continue to torrent and seed without burdening someone else's connection.

  • I was in the Finance Industry during the financial crash of 2008

    I was also in the Tech Industry during the tech crash of 99

    I was living in Britain back when Brexit happened

    Your life reads like the lyrics of Sympathy for the Devil.

  • The IDF is bombing schools and hospitals because they're carrying out a genocide.

    Resistance fighters aren't hiding behind hostages, that's unchecked libel. In fact Israel has demonstrated repeatedly that it is willing to kill it's own people to kill resistance fighters.

  • New music is doing fantastic, it's record companies that are dying. Most artists just self-publish these days.

  • What's crazy is that none of the other P2P apps that came after ever had as nice of an interface as Napster. I guess that's cause Napster compiled Mac and Windows native apps while most other P2P apps were Java jars.

  • Yeah but it didn't feel quite that expensive because we all made more money in terms of true value back then, too.

  • Not quite yet, not all of us.

  • If they produced an equivalent of That 70s Show today the "very special episode of" would be the one where 9/11 happens.

  • Vinyls don't really offer any fidelity over digital, that's mostly confirmation bias from vinylheads owning nicer sound systems. But they're a fun and sort of interactive physical medium much in the same way books are, in that way they offer a unique and enhanced musical experience, and that's why I keep buying them to this day (It's 1PM on a Saturday and I've already played two LPs on mine today, while my gf and I ate breakfast).

  • For Playstation games you had to get one of the nicer-quality CD-Rs and burn it at a slower speed than usual. Also I remember I got a replacement disk drive cover for my PS2 that allowed you to pull it open with a hook. I'd boot up the console with a legit disc, then use the hook to open the drive without the console knowing and swap in a pirated disc.

  • No worries, we're all so sarcasm-and-irony pilled given internet culture and current events that I should have been more explicit too.

  • De-arrests are a thing, they do and have worked against ICE kidnap attempts. But you need a critical mass of people to do it, if you go alone they'll just arrest you too or worse, shoot you.

  • To be clear I'm parodying the people who think there are corporate safe havens where they can vote with their dollars.

  • I think you're picking up subtext in my comment that isn't actually there. If you don't have more info that's OK, I can do my own research.

  • "Time to find a CEO who has yet to publicly express their fascist sympathies..."

  • Wait til they hear that Tor was developed and is largely run by the US military.

  • This is a decontextualized post from 2015 that theorizes a DDoS attack on Proton at the time was coercion to "help" them by offering to proxy their traffic through Bynet in Israel for the purpose of tampering. Is there any other info out there to support this theory? It's intriguing and believable but also complete hearsay absent any other corroboration, context, further info, etc.
