This thread is wild simply because I don’t know any adult humans who actually take baths, and I have honestly always assumed the reason they exist at all is for washing small children.

I’ve been using my cheap $5 electric candle lighter for like 5 years now. It’s saved probably 10 butane candle lighters from the trash.

Your gay friends were having a chuckle. Women don’t smell like fish from any appreciable distance unless there’s a serious hygiene issue. And then it’s more like regular BO with a bit of a twang.

Which also means there is no reason Congress cannot be briefed. Congresspersons are routinely read into SCI and SAP compartments for basic oversight duty. They have their own SCIF and everything. If the regime is withholding access to oversight, it’s only because Republicans on these committees are refusing to force the issue.

It’s one of the reasons I think public voting is a terrible idea. It’s a wet dream for hyper-targeted engagement farming. Even to the point it creates a bit of a nightmare scenario for spear phishing and malware injection. The stated “transparency” benefits just seem incredibly trivial compared to the risk, especially when actual malicious actors will simply spam bots and alts, while actual users must navigate this weirdly huge threat surface for basically no good reason.

Our VPN gateway is different if you are already on the internal network.

That vacant lot. The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot.

Yes, any time you can store and recover encrypted cloud archives across devices, without needing to transfer keys between devices, it implies that there is a key archive somewhere in the cloud. Even Signal struggles to get this both user friendly and properly secure without compromising forward secrecy. I believe they still actually make you explicitly do a local key transfer to populate a new device, even though they have cloud archives now. Whatsapp doesn’t do that. And the app also clearly leaks some amount of unencrypted data anyway, archives or not.

It is end to end encrypted but they can just pull the decrypted message from the app. This has been assumed for years, since they said they could parse messages for advertising purposes.

This is called compute dispatching and is super common. I have done a whole bunch of DSP implementations where you use a CUDA or AVX kernel depending on availability. Or you dispatch to standard library or even Python kernel otherwise.

What does Microsoft think the fucking point of encryption is? Do they think I am encrypting my data to protect it from my dog?

Every single 12 year old I know is more emotionally mature than the US president and it isn’t even close.

You’d prefer living in a tent over a climate controlled space with running water and sewer?

A disaster because idiots will lose money?

Big if true

What more evidence do you need that hasn’t already been leaked? There’s not going to be a notarized letter which says “I, Donald Trump, Fuck Children.”

On the other hand, there is a fucking birthday letter to Epstein where Trump very clearly does a “wink wink we have the same secret wink wink.” Like it literally calls his relationship to a known pedophile a “wonderful secret.”

Ok, that was always allowed!

It’s live journal for tryhards and pseudointellectuals.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s good stuff on there as well, but it’s mostly just the newest “every opinion has an asshole” platform.

The class, when you say “there are no stupid questions”

What kind of porn should I watch right now?
