  • One origin is The Wild Hunt on the solstice. I don't think I saw in this article, but I have seen mention of jul logs being associated with bonfires being lit on the solstice to guide Odin during the hunt.

  • I would say David Gilmour. Pink Floyd music comes to mind for having some pretty symphonic sounds.

  • I think it depends on the definition of own, if it can be sold to someone else who will then own it. If it doesn't have value like that, then it is just something you have, like pocket lint.

  • So, no to introspection? Wundt-ering around your own mind?

  • I get that too, it can be difficult to get help. I try to ignore it and have been using Linux for about 15 years as an OS. I use Kubuntu on my laptop, but I've used Mint also. I'm thinking of changing back but it's so much work, and there are a lot of other options I'd like to try.

    I've had my network locked out as well, the first iteration of ProtonVPN I used would lock it out if you didn't close the app before shutting down. I contacted Proton and they sent me the commands to unlock it, so I have them handy in a file. That problem was fixed, afaik, because I can shut down without exiting the app now. I haven't had my comp suspend, Linux used to have a problem with suspend so I've stayed away from it. I haven't had any problems with Proton otherwise, I used it on my Android as well, I have a paid plan.

  • I use it on my Linux laptop, there's no port forwarding, dowloading works fine though, sometimes connects to peers to upload. I have dual boot so I have seen the Windows version, it's much more sophisticated. I've checked for DNS leaks using one of the sites listed in another comment, no leaks.

  • I don't know why I don't have ad problems and errors like I've been reading for a while now. My laptop has Kubuntu with Proton vpn set to block ads, and just bare bones Brave with ad blocking set to whatever max in the settings. My phone is Android with FF and uBlock, and also Proton vpn. I haven't been blocked or seen an ad, although I don't use YouTube very much. If I open YT links on my phone, is there acutually ads there that I'm not seeing? I can open YT in FF and just get a home page, play a video uniterrupted. Lately tho, if I wanted to look up something specific I just used piped.video, but I was frustrated by a java error on piped for a bit, so thats when I started using just YT again, and like I said, I have't seen any ads. I'm using piped again now.

  • Welcome to modernity, where the dream for all is capitalism.

  • Given the baseline adult education of the USA being about Grade 6 equivalent, 54% in a recent article, so more than half, I'd say the clowns are winning. Brainwashed, sure, it takes wisdom to understand the manipulatuon. Mosr people want the money, willing to demean themselves and enslave others for the opportunity. It's a brutal world out in reality. Send in the clowns. Nice emoji kid.

  • Deep down, nobody want's to close the door to the opportunities for self-enrichment presented by capitalism.

  • I spend my nights trying to rationalize everything, playing with the toys in my attic. I haven't seen my marbles in quite a while, I think someone took them.

  • Tragedies always seem to make you grow up a little more.

  • Yeah, you have to be wary of using tips from Q, it can feel right but there are reasons for concern, misuse can cause unintended consequences.

  • I don't see the connection between Wolverine and Adam Ant, he's British, not Canadian.
