I've been working on fully cutting out alcohol from my diet. I tried for years but I think I am finally succeeding. Haven't had a drink in almost two months.

They will do anything OTHER than offer housing to the poor.

The way these people speak and behave remind me of the really socially awkward bullies I knew as a kid. Making shit up and somehow still having a lot of people believe them.

I don't think we have a choice.

The propaganda and surveillance apparatus that has been worked on since 2000 has made that possible. The liberals have been really good at dismantling protest and criticism of the government and rendering it moot.

Look up at the massive amount of bills being pushed to basically censor the entire internet.

He looks like a caricature of a British person.

I remember a time in 2010 or 2011 (I dont remember when exactly) that they said that sex was the last remaining thing that can ruin a politician's career.

That hasn't been the case since Trump even started running for office in 2015. The level of debauchery is just disgusting. Even if Pete Hegseth was discovered to have made sex videos and they were leaked on porn hub, and then he responded by posting more sex videos he made more recently... this would probably do nothing to harm his career.

The age verification and protect the children act serve only to surveil any political opposition and to allow for making more children sexually available to billionaire pedophiles.

He should be released and compensated for the time he spent behind bars. He is innocent.

To paraphrase Goebbels. "Accuse your opponents of what you are doing."

No, he could not call the police. A tree fell on his phone line and disconnected his house.

And his parents did notify the police, but the police were, A: completely incredulous, B: completely incompetent and uninterested. They came and knocked on the door, but Kevin was still scared and confused and was hiding under his parents bed the whole time. The cop just gave up and left.

Source: I watched the movie again... and I am going to do so this year along with a Die Hard trilogy (I never watched the third movie) marathon.

Fuck age verification, fuck it all to hell. Not for Linux or any other OS or device.

I miss photoshopped masterpieces like this. Before AI slop...

Ding dong ditch used to be a staple of kiddie pranks... for fuck's sake! Do none of these idiots have any real threat assessment? Or are they so desperate to shoot someone that they just wanna blast some kid and say they feared for their lives?

DO NOT TRUST ANY AI TECHNICAL DRAWING!

Fun fact: I once saw a cat trying to enter someone's home, standing outside the door and meowing and trying to reach the handle, and I knocked on the door to tell the homeowner that their cat wanted in.

Then the home owner came and told me that they never saw this cat before a day in their lives.

The real files might be released decades from now when they are no longer relevant.

Call me medieval, but I don't understand these people... If I somehow had a ploy to make that kind of money in one shot I'd make like a bandit and vanish... Then retire. That kind of money is never work again money. I could retire at 30 and die in my 80s a rich man.

They want to scan your face to get as many images of people of stated ages to feed into their facial recognition system. Do not for one moment think it is for anything else.

Edit: it is like how Facebook had a 10 years ago you looked like this! Post a new comparison photo today!' Specifically because they want to know how people age for their AI shit.

This is one thing I never understood... how does he keep getting away with it? Repeatedly screwing people over and over and over and over again and somehow no one doing shit about it?

He doesn't just screw over workers, he does it for his business partners, too. Wealthy and powerful people... people who can hire hitmen and also pay to make the evidence disappear. If they can kill Epstein why wouldn't they have gotten rid of him in the 80s and 90s when he didn't have as much power as he does now?
