I donāt necessarily disagree with you, but I have a hard time feeling sympathy for anyone who has the means to blow 6k/mo on a luxury rental. At his level of wealth and privilege heās not really a class traitor is he? A bourgeois parasite on other bourgeois parasites maybe, but not a class traitor.
Semi tangent warning. Being a socialist doesnāt mean taking a vow of poverty. If youāre in a position that affords you a certain level of wealth, thatās not an inherently bad thing and youāre not āless socialistā for it. There are obviously systemic pressures that act on wealthy people that encourage certain behaviors and thatās something to be aware of and mitigated as much as possible. Living in a capitalist economy means we have money, and people with a lot of money can put it to good use in supporting struggles. Until we can rid ourselves of market economies there will always be some people who have more wealth than others, itās a function of currency no matter how itās structured.
I obviously canāt say this is the case for serj, I donāt know much about his finances or what he does with it outside of supporting left wing movements and the liberation of Armenian people. He may do other things with his wealth that would be unbecoming of a socialist, canāt say. But the fact that heās wealthy doesnāt immediately mean heās a fraud, the fact that heās a landlord definitely raises some eyebrows. But the elements of violence and coercion that are normally present in housing rentals arenāt really present here. If you can afford a 6k rental, you can afford to buy a house basically anywhere. With that kind of budget youāre not really in a āfork over most of your money or be homelessā situation. Yes, private property is bad, but thatās just an aspect of our current social structure that canāt feasibly be eliminated yet. Heās playing the game a bit and that can be fairly criticized given his stated political positions, but itās not necessarily an affront to the concept of socialism itself
No, when millions of homes are owned but left empty because theyāre unafforable for people to live in, anyone involved in keeping housing off the market for only themselves is a class traitor.
When millions are in the streets who have jobs but housing is unaffordable itās a fucking indictment of our entire system and all the people who own more than one piece of property.
If he is renting it, he has a place to live.
What, youāre fine with paying this pricks mortgage for him?
In my city thereās a guy who owns some of housing, but he tries to bring down property values with them, so people can afford to live in the neighborhood. He rents them well under market value and paints them entirely black, out of character for their neighborhoods. Thatās class solidarity.
I agree with you generally, but narrowing the scope to serj specifically Iām not 100% on the same page. You say heās a class traitor, but thatās assuming heās in the same class as you and I. His net worth is apparently ~$20 million. Are you a multi-millionaire? I know Iām not. Heās simply not in the same social class as you and I. As I said earlier, the relationship of violence and coercion (which is only part of the issue) that makes renting problematic. Heās taking money from people in the same class as himself. If anything, the idea that heās taking money from other wealthy people and (presumably) and funneling it to progressive causes should be a point of reassurance. I donāt personally view it that way and I definitely see the red flags but Iām being hypothetical-ish here.
Serj isnāt personally responsible for homelessness and poverty and he could (I would argue has an obligation to) be doing more. It is an indictment of our system, youāre absolutely right. But is it an indictment of him specifically?
If other rich people are paying for another rich personās mortgage, I donāt personally have a big issue with it. Itās money changing hends between two people in a similar position. Again, the rent is 6,000 dollars a month. Thatās 3x what I make in month working 60 hours a week in public service. I donāt feel bad that a rich person is fleecing another rich person. It happens all the time and itās either inconsiquential or very, very mildly helpful to the left in general.
To your last section, that looks like beneficial virtue signaling to me. That landlord has a direct impact on the livelihoods of people like you and I, serj doesnāt. If he were serious about expressing solidarity he would do something akin to rent to own for his tenants or give them equity in his business.
Land lords are shitty. Youāre right. Serj is doing a shitty thing by renting his house. Considering the context in which this shitty thing is taking place, who itās affecting, I donāt think itās as shitty as you think it is. We could extrapolate and put all of our problems on serj tankian but that doesnāt do much. Itās the system weāre within and the selective pressures at play to blame, not this specific individual. If we were talking about someone like Larry fink (CEO of blackrock) Iād be with you, but weāre not
Thereās a fucking housing crisis and youāre the second chucklefuck to defend this dumb shit.

Pihole and uBlock Origin have different purposes. Pihole blocks ad domains network-wide. uBlock Origin can remove specific elements from specific webpages with surgical precision regardless of the domain the content is served from, so it is a much more precise wide-spectrum content blocker.
In other words, uBlock Origin can block basically everything, but only works in your browser. Pihole blocks fewer things and less precisely but works for all your devices.
Everyone here acting like the Biden administration is actually going to call their bluff and not just fold instantly is either terminally coping or only just started following politics today.
This sounds like something I should look into. I already run pfsense and wanted to look into a pihole, but if I can do it all in pfsense thatāll work out even better. Thanks!
It does not. Domain based blocking does not work with youtube.
Your link event says it:
Some ads may [ā¦] be served through the same domain as the website, making them harder to block without blocking the website itself.
There is no point in using a proxy for this, because of https it wonāt be able to block more than with DNS blocking. Maybe a tiny bit more if you set up mitm but thatās really not worth it.
Nope. Youtube ads are served from the same domains as the videos so there is nothing you can to to block them via DNS. Your best bet is just installing Ublock for them. Now a days an ad blocker is a security necessity anyways.
Installing uBlock is so quick, all you need is 30 seconds of their consent to lean over their shoulder and install it. The whole process can be faster than the actual ad break, in some cases.
I actually really like the unified remote app. It lets you use your phone as a remote for any computer on the same network. I think the premium version just lets you link more computers otherwise the free version is just as good.
Itās fine to not want to date someone with an onlyfans, but I feel like the guys who go out of their way to say it usually have other red flags about
I just ask that people realize what I realize, which is itās an issue with ME that Iām not secure enough to be with a person who I can see having sex with someone else. I cannot control my feelings but I am responsible for them, or at the very least, other people are not responsible for them(at least in this example anyway itās not as if the of model was having sex with other people AT me.)
Oh absolutely, I dont feel bad about that. But the feeling I get thinking about being with someone who does that kind of stuff is exactly a feeling of insecurity. Itās fine and normal, same way its normal to have a little anxiety or a little depression. In healthy doses itās essentially just personality traits, but to me those feeling stem from insecurity. Perhaps itās even innate and not something to be āfixedā but it still feels like insecurity to me. But Iām realizing that I suppose I can only speak for myself here.
Thats not what I think it should mean, thats how emotions work. Those feelings stem from insecurity. Thatās factual. People say theyāre so OCD when they like to be organized, is that what OCD means now?
Really scaping the bottom of the barrel. Seems to me is synonymous with looks to me. Got anything else or just more dissappontment for your English teacher?
Agreed, but know what they are. They arenāt lines to control someone with. Theyāre lines someone should agree with and should know may be signs of other controlling behavior. So many people are OK with being controlled and itās frankly pathetic.
If youāre dealing with the boundaries healthily, then itās not so much an insecurity and more of a limitation. If others are aware and OK with it, Iād call that healthily dealt with. Whether or not the limitation is a problem is merely a matter of preference, and luckily it sounds like yours line up.
I love how everyone assumes āindicative ofā is a direct accusationā¦ As if false red flags based on perception do not exist. People are so small minded.
An open relationship isnāt that weird of a concept to some. Itās about how much others mean to you, not how much of them you posess. People in these comments are fucking pathetic for not understanding this basic fact of healthy relationships: You do not own anyone else. To any degree. Period.
Haha yeah, only 75% of your comment was attempting to be insulting in some way! How could anybody think youāre being an ass? Poeās law sure is crazy.
Iām sorry for not going into further detail?? Youāve used belittling or downright insulting language in like 5/7 of your comments in this thread now. And the small page of profile digging I had to do to find those shows itās not just this thread youāve got an attitude in. Maybe youāre the problem and not everybody else?
About conversations turning south? Absolutely, totally my fault. Though youāre still all retards fundamentally failing to understand how healthy relationships work or how what I said applies.
The problem is that so far literally nobody has disagreed with you. Some people have said that open relationships arenāt for them, and then you went and said theyāre claiming they own people??
Please point to a single instance where somebody has said they own someone else, or that they think open relationships are disgusting or some shit. No, I imagine we all understand how healthy relationships work but youāre too busy putting words in our mouths to see that youāre insulting people over things they never said.
I think most people here agree with you, itās just that the way youāre speaking to them comes off as judgemental and kinda mean, so they respond accordingly.
No ownership, but sharing time. I want to buy a house not a time-share. I want that deep emotional connection with someone. I donāt have the capacity to have more than one deep connection and would like someone similar. If my partner chooses they want something open, thatās fine, but we would transition to friends
Im someone for whom C is a necessity like the person youāre responding too and I think youāre 100% right.
It may not be a nessesarily pathological insecurity, but it absolutely is an insecurity.
If I felt more secure Iād probably be able to deal with it. I donāt think that means im a necessarily insecure person, or am someone for whom insecurity is a clinical problem, but at least comparatively that makes it an insecurity.
You can get depressed and not have depression, you can get insecure and not be an insecure person, heck you can even maintain a healthy amount of anxiety. These are essentially just human traits and thereās no shame in admitting that I have a trait thatās at least a little rooted in insecurity so long as it doesnāt negatively impact my life.
I know itās stupid, but I just canāt give up good food. My stomach will hurt so bad it feels like I have back problems or something and Iām still not eating spaghetti without my garlic bread.
I donāt eat the good stuff constantly, most of my meals are bland. When I get a chance though I donāt pass on it.
How sensitive are you? Iāve found I struggle with them a bit if I eat lots suddenly after not eating them for a while, but if I continue, it tends to be fine. My guess is that the reason it is inconsistent for me is related to fluctuations in gut bacteria partially due to what I am eatingā¦
I know actual IBS is no joke, but I think it would be interesting to determine your threshold and see if you can change it at all. For example, eat a pea-sized piece of onion and wait a couple days. No effect, start eating a pea-sized piece of onion every day and wait for cumulative effects (a week or two?). Still no effect, add another piece for one day, go back to regular dose for a couple days, etc. When you reach the point where it starts to cause discomfort, back off a bit and try to push it again in a week or two.
Iāve never really tried to change it, I adapted as best as I could.
Iām intolerant to most fodmap (lactose, mannitol, fructans, gos and fructose). I also noticed that gluten can wreck me if I eat too much of it, fatty food can trigger me as well as alcohol.
It was hard to get used to it but now itās a question of self regulation. I skip most of the things that trigger me and indulge sometimes, often a bit too much and I have to face the consequences for up to a week or so. Lactose is the easiest to deal with because of lactase, the rest not so muchā¦ I guess at least Iām not celiac or suffering of Crohnās, so thatās that I guess.
No because VPNs route your traffic through an encrypted tunnel. But PiHole can filter traffic on any device on your network regardless of whether or not you can install a plugin.
