The good guys

Germany gets a lot of (well deserved) heat for the nazis, but it is a true testament to the efficacy of propaganda investments that the US does not have a worse reputation. Even hitler wrote about how he was inspired by the US to do the things he did.

I agree with you. The US is, and always has been, a cancer on the planet more malicious than any other.

Well if it's low cost and easy to use..

This post will definitely reveal my age a bit. The easiest way to earn tickets at an arcade I used to go to as a kid was to play an Adams Family themed game that featured uncle fester. It had 2 knobs you had to hold as it would shock you and give you tickets for lasting long enough as it increased intensity. Eventually Sega bought the arcade and the machine was removed, but it makes me laugh to think on how I would willingly get shocked weekly just to "win" stupid little plastic rings, candy, and slap bracelets.

Spineless.

He has the power to end so much suffering. Instead he uses it to influence a fascist's win and cuts major aid programs in the name of saving money, which it didn't even do. This man is an evil lunatic playing with millions of lives with his grifts. He deserves something worse than death, but his death would at least be a merciful act for humanity.

Republican bill aims to punish Canadian provinces with U.S. alcohol bans

Reply in thread

The Combating Attacks on our National Alcoholic Drinks by Allies (CANADA) Act states that under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act, the legislation would direct U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and his office to investigate Canadian provincial liquor board restrictions on the import and distribution of U.S. products within 30 days, if made law.

Fucking toddlers coming up with the names for these acts, lol. They definitely saught to fit words to the acronym they chose.

The CANADA Act builds on comments from U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer, who stated that resolving the Canadian provinces’ discriminatory treatment of American alcohol producers would likely require an enforcement action.”

What are they going to do? Add more tarifs? Are they really going to pretend that canada is doing this for no reason? As if this isn't already a response to the US's actions...

Proton is dead (for me). Let's collect and discuss alternatives! ✊🛡

From what I recall, the red flags included stuff like giving the IP away of activists, having access to private keys while claiming e2e, and taking more info than they claim. I am busy atm, but i can find some links to sources when I get a chance.

edit: here is the link I said that I would find: from Hacker News

The Switzerland-based company said it received a "legally binding order from the Swiss Federal Department of Justice" related to a collective called Youth for Climate, which it was "obligated to comply with," compelling it to handover the IP address and information related to the type of device used by the group to access the ProtonMail account.

Hyperlink

As someone that always customizes their hyperlink colors, it took me a moment to remember that the default was blue and purple to get the joke. If it wasn't for the other comments, I might still be confused.
