Exactly. Which just goes to show what ordinary Chinese people are capable of. They're absolute capitalist beasts when let off the leash, born merchants.

"Let my little yellow people go" - HD, probably.

Iran sober: Let's make nukes
Iran drunk: Let's make nukes

Ancient method checks out.

@Tfmonkey
Leopold has been memory-holed faster than a woman's body count.

Iran needs to get back to its roots.

It's still worth reminding people just how many bodies commies stacked last century.

Note how Pinochet doesn't even make this chart.

@spectre @Wopu
It's easy for us to judge, but China:
1. is the 1st country to have almost full-spectrum surveillance dominance over their citizens. They don't know shit what's going on outside of their bubble.
2. has never had a culture of individualism
3. has a current generation that has only survived because of extreme compliance under threat of disappearance & death.

They live in a Truman Show but with jackboots. Fuckers don't stand a chance.

@Tfmonkey Lol.

Straight women looking at this chart be like, "huh?"

@houseoftolstoy
Google and all the FAANG companies including Twitter have been defacto partners to the Intelligence Community for years.

The phrase "If it's free you're the product" has been around long enough to be common knowledge, even kids know this.

If someone in 2022 believes their GMail and cloud are private then they must be in the minority of actual medical cretins.

But the majority know and just don't care enough. It's precisely what Normie means.

@ze "Dedicated rest on purpose" as you put it is normative. And essential.

Unless substances also play a part in your story, then addiction seems unlikely given that the opposite of addiction is not sobriety, but meaning and purpose. Of which you appear to have.

On the other hand, it's easy for deeply technical people to become obsessive. Learning how to sit until your mind is quiet such that thought no longer runs the show is a superpower worth acquiring. It has been for me.

Just my 2c.

@ze Yes, that's a variation of the Thomas Edison method, where you leverage the hypnagogic state to boost creativity and problem-solving capacity.

If those who propose that consciousness has something to do with quantum mechnics turn out to be correct, then I'd like to think that the hypnagogic state represents the superposition where these problems are worked on. So when Edison's steel balls wake him up, the state is collapsed and if he's lucky, a useful answer will have emerged.

@ze Will do

@ze
Nice!

I'll do that another time and share the results. I have ssh to my router (not 22 of course!), but I'll have to install tcpdump and wireshark. I haven't used either in a while now but this should be fun.

@spectre
Brilliant. Do you know where I can get a copy of the translation that was mentioned in the video? I've been after it for a while now.

Also, dude made a damn interesting point that I have not heard anyone else make - that this war could possibly be a continuation of the hate-filled blood feud by Jews against Slavic Christians.

No wonder JBP didn't want to answer, it's totally radioactive.

@ze sure, go ahead and drop those commnds

@ze Ah I see, that makes sense.

I heard a rumour that Fedora likes to phone home. If you're using Fedora for your net/firewall then it would be interesting to see if you can confirm.

@spectre Status and money. It's that simple. If your reputation takes a nosedive so does your ability to earn money.

The only way around this is to have Fuck You money. And that's just the start. Andrew Tate had some interesting things to say about that to Dave Portnoy recently: https://invidious.sethforprivacy.com/watch?v=hyeprM1jHgs

@ze Having an OpenWRT router helps. You can then play around with DNSSEC and DoH, adblock etc..

I'm in clearnet via one of a few VPN's for a good amount of time and have MAC spoof operating so that helps.

What leaks in particular are you potentially concerned by?

Also, here's a great list of tests you can perform to check: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Dev/Leak_Tests
