SS is not a welfare benefit. That is a lie the Republicans have been pushing for decades.

We pay our entire adult lives in order to get payout when we no longer work. It is meant to keep our elders out of poverty, not to line pockets of “welfare queens”, despite what you might have been told.

As it stands now, I’m told I’ll only get 70% of what i am due because of decades of government stealing the money and calling it a loan.

At this rate, I’m gonna have to go Amish.

Yeah. It’ll be easy, because they’ve rigged all of the vote tallying machines. There’s pretty damning evidence that the Trump team hacked a whole bunch of voting machines and changed votes.

Blurgh! Embarrassing. Please believe me world, most of us are sickened by this guy.

Effectively, anyone who does not have a lawyer who files a specific suit in a very short period of time can be deported at will. Saying it does not end the 14th Amendment is an exercise in English language mechanics, not in how it ends up affecting the world.

If you are high school student who is shipped off to a foreign prison, how likely do you think it is somebody will fight to bring you back?

Welcome to our surveilance state. We’ve been under total surveilance for decades.

You are describing removing individuals. I’m referring to the system. Sure, over time if enough people sacrifice themselves to remove individuals in the power structure, maybe something could crack open.

That’s a very long shot. As time goes on, the security improves, the surveilance improves, and fear will stop most.

However, my intension is not to squash hope, but to shed the light of realism. This is serious, and keeping our Democracy alive has to be tackled with deliberation and coordination. Murder is the near unthinkable last resort.

I pay to avoid ads on Amazon Prime… Now i have to endure unskippable ads every 10 minutes, and my annual fee is up over 50% since i started.

Fuck them. No matter what, these mercantilists will extract everything they can, and they will break any promise or contract they sign as soon as it bemefits them. We, however, cannot do the same.

Numbers are less relevant when the other side has the most sophisticated surveilance system on the planet coupled with the most deadly military.

Key people inside the system have to defect in order to short-circuit that power.

Yeah, well sometimes I’m weak. I blame constant bombardment of bad news. Personal experience confirming the above points does not help.

I had success using openVPN. I set it up, generated certificates, installed it on my phones, tablets, and laptops.

It won’t work when using an external vpn like Express or Mulvad, but while using it, you have secure connection to home. Once done with the home network, turn off the vpn, turn on your commercial vpn.

Don’t forget that they often use it against men in disagreements they aren’t “winning”. I’ve seen a few videos of girls saying that is exactly what they will do if you dare open up to them.

Close friends? Yes. Circle of friends? Only if they want to be roasted relentlessly.

This is hilarious. Not only do these poor victimized women expect her potential partner to be over 6 ft tall, earn a minimum of 100k, pay for all dates, listen to their problems, cook, clean, care for the kids, take out the trash, mow the lawn, repair everything, including the multtiple car crashes they inflict, fold the laundry the right way, and take them on multiple international vacations per year, but they also want us to shut the fuck up and keep our problems to ourselves.

And if we don’t satisfy all those requirements while avoiding doing something ‘ick’, they get to divorce us and take half of everything we worked hard to build while being paid over a thousand dollars per month until our children are 25 - often while those kids only get to see dad a couple of days per month.

Yeah. We clearly need to man up… Oh wait, they’re also bashing MIGTOW, and lamenting that men aren’t approaching them or taking their hints. What’s wrong with men, they cry on TikTok!

Why is that? It couldn’t be the continuous compaints about creeps approaching them in public or the gotchya tiktok videos of innocent men who happen to be near them in public, could it? It couldn’t be the destruction of men’s lives by false accusations broadcast all over the internet, could it? It couldn’t be the clarion rallies of kill all men or I choose the bear could it?

Wow, these men are so over sensitive!

They need to work on themselves - just don’t go your own way! Keep letting the women insult you while begging them to date you. It builds character.

Man, the chutzpah!

Translation: we’re about to attack your ships, but we want you to blame U.K. and Ukraine for it.

I suspect it just isn’t well known. I used it for a while in my early days in Linux, which was back in the late 1990’s, and i honestly haven’t heard much abiut it over the years.

I do remember being impressed at the time. I think most people stick with the defaults for whatever distro they first choose. Since i was using Slackware back then, there was not a default choice, so i searched and experimented.
