I pick the tenth option: yo momma. Except we don’t talk.

Yes.

I don’t.

But I do think you may be reading something here I’m not trying to say.

And have zero inclination for any fucking brain dead fascist wannabe to see any of it.

My privacy matters a lot to me and I go through… not as great a length as some to safeguard it but far, far, more than most and no motherfucker has a right to a single fucking byte of data I don’t consent to them having.

My point is more that any local police force is going to be pretty much incompetent, which means that not only would any attempts of their to monitor a relatively tech savvy person be fruitless if you have even an inkling of it, and this incompetence also means you’re on your fucking own if anyone savvy really wants to get into your shit too.

Big difference between federal and local police.

But no, I haven’t read the book but I did read the title and you’ll hear no argument from me.

So here’s a fun fact. If someone is stealthy enough and is skilled enough at hacking, you are on your fucking own.

Cybersecurity companies won’t help you because they only work with other companies. You can try filing a report with officers and dunning and Krueger it good fucking luck getting anywhere with that.

Being under police shouldn’t really worry anyone who isn’t doing anything illegal who has half a brain cell, it’s literally anyone else who wants into your shit that you need to worry about.

Get her a pig and name it tarot deck.

I’ve always wanted a pig.

I was recently travelling and tried to sign up for Netflix and couldn’t. Because I didn’t have a phone number in the country I was in. And they block vpns.

You can see where this is headed. Mullvad needs the money more than Netflix anyway.

How about nobody else’a fucking children are anybody else’s fucking problem.

Fuck your stupid fucking kids.

Not literally of course. I’m not a republican.

I know bash and am very familiar with Linux and it has never mattered one iota as far as my steam deck is concerned.

I’m sure this isn’t universal but every self identified queer person I’ve met or dated has made it their entire personality.

Sounds like a problem solving itself. Being on the other end of toxic insecurity is fucked.

The no homo spell kills aids.

This is the root of the problem with much of the discussion around male identity online.

Women finally, and rightfully, gained a voice, and plenty of dudes listened. Many of them, not really understanding feminism as an academic discipline or having any real sympathy towards any aspect of being a man, used that voice to point of the many issues faced by women in the world and to fight for women.

Where this falls apart is that because of the lack of real understanding regarding feminism and the concept of patriarchy, a lot of it boiled down to “shut up, the women are talking” and “we don’t care about your problems”

None of this makes the problems away, none of this is really geared towards equality, and much of it is just switching the genders on deeply toxic patriarchal power structures that were used to oppress women for centuries.

When you think about how stupid 90% of the people involved on both sides of this discourse online are, it’s of little surprise so many women went looking for easy answers from hucksters who pitched exploitation and oppression as empowerment.

I never said I would.

Or you have bpd.

Obviously not “you” as in the commenter I’m responding to

Appreciate you expanding on the earlier comment. All fair points.

I’d find terrible, horrible people, and just like, tiger my way into their house and fuck shit up, like, take a dump on their bed, smash their tv, etc. and then I’d go invisible, wait for the police to show up, do their thing, and start the process over again until they lost their minds.

I would also rob banks though to keep it balanced.

I’m dying. Why is this so funny?

I really don’t understand this perspective. I truly don’t.

You see a new technology with flaws and just assume that those flaws will always be there and the technology will never progress.

Like. Do you honestly think this is the one technology that researchers are just going to say “it’s fine as-is, let’s just stop improving it”?

You don’t understand the first thing about how it works but people like you are SO certain that the way it is now is how it will always be, and that because there are flaws developing it further is pointless.

I just don’t get it.

I think that was more a jab at the overall terrible state of the American public education system, but your point stands regardless.
