some_guy,

An elderly lady paid for groceries with a check in front of me. I was honestly pretty mad.

some_guy,

Bah. I love my friends’ kids but I’m not above joking that the dad should abandon his family when he can’t hang out. Or tie them to a stake in the backyard when he can’t get a sitter. Absurdity is funny when it’s obvious that it’s absurd.

some_guy,

Plenty of software developers use Linux for their work.

Sorry, it’s too much to type a description for each of them. I’m on my phone.

Edit: My bad. I was distracted and interpreted this as a local stream from a device in your home, like a Plex server. If you’re using a streaming service then Netflix or whoever sends through your vpn.

It’s local. Nothing is leaving your network. You would have to deliberately open a port on your router for it to get back in after going through the VPN. That’s how you can verify that it’s local.

some_guy,

That was pretty funny. (1997 Faceoff if anyone missed it.)

What are some good real privacy podcasts/channels?

I started out watching some YouTube channels that claim to be dedicated to keeping me private and secure with recent news but found that some of them have a history of advertising NordVPN. Those channels sometimes sounded like they were defending Apple then telling people if they don’t like the content then to just scram....

some_guy,

Caveat, with Dave Bitner and another guy. I haven’t listened to it, but I know of Dave through another podcast (Grumpy Old Geeks).

some_guy,

That’s how they’ve been restricting multi home buildings for years. They don’t want it to lower their resale value by obstructing the skyline.

some_guy,

Happened once.

Me: Hey, how are you?

Guy: What’s up?

Me: Pretty good…

some_guy,

This is a much darker reading of the film than I’d encountered.

some_guy,

Framing all the terrible events of a boomer’s life in a sweet way. Yeah, I can see it.

some_guy,

Always crosses my mind when I see a viral vid of some shithead berating service workers. “I’m never coming back!”

That shit isn’t the cutting threat you think it is in this moment.

some_guy,

Still only the one? Other countries need to put in the work. Rishi Sunak should be first. Tastes a little rich.

Israeli public figures accuse judiciary of ignoring incitement to genocide in Gaza (www.theguardian.com)

"For the first time that we can remember, the explicit calls to commit atrocious crimes, as stated, against millions of civilians have turned into a legitimate and regular part of Israeli discourse,” they write. “Today, calls of these types are an everyday matter in Israel.”...

some_guy,

I’d hit it and I don’t even like dudes.

some_guy,

Men had such weird torsos back then. Probably still do, but maybe we just know not to go shirtless.

Edit: Sorry, I thought I had a link but I didn’t check it first.

Edit2: Ok, this one worked.

some_guy,

No steering is needed. Just press down on the gas. It’s already destroying itself.

some_guy,

That soccer team that crashed in the Andes dug it out with a stick or bone.

some_guy,

Think of three things for which you are grateful every day. I’ve been trying to get back into this mode after I’d used it for years and fell off. Example:

  1. Got to have a nice dinner party with friends on NYE
  2. Kitty has become a lot less anxious around strangers
  3. Though it’ll rain later today, it won’t be raining when I go to work
some_guy,

Can recycle (glad I don’t have to go out in the rain is true any time it’s gonna rain), but I try to keep them unique. I also try not to focus on things related to commercialism. For example, I might be glad I got to go to a live show (an event) but I don’t list something like being happy about being able to buy a thing (especially luxury goods). But I can be happy that I have a thing that makes my life easier in a concrete way (that new toothbrush really kicks ass). I go for small things most of all, the ones that otherwise might be taken for granted. Hope that makes sense the way I wrote it.

some_guy,

Yes. I’m genuinely unsure how it could be any easier.

I was gonna laugh, but then you included a lot of information, and thinking back to the days when I would write super long instructions for people with lotsa explaining. This is a good effort to impart knowledge and I commend you for it.
