Due to issues regarding paranoia and melanin, I have declined to answer your question. Despite counsel’s advice, I upvoted anyway. This message will be deleted in 24 hours.

Federal law requires nearly all male U.S. citizens and male immigrants to register at age 18. The agency permits males up to age 25 to complete their registration with Selective Service System.

I did it the easy way:

• copied link to browser then
• tapped on “Open in application?” from browser
• the above will work if you already have PeerTube app downloaded, no need to sign in.

Pasting the link to the search inside the PeerTube app didn’t work for me. I also tried typing “peertube.openrightsgroup.org/a/openrightsgroup/videos” and variations of, and still didn’t work.

Somebody may have already made a movie about your novel.

I used Hushed as a giveaway phone number (food delivery, new account sign up, etc.) and was fine with it until it wasn’t cost effective anymore.

Most of my friends still use Burner app but if you’re interested in keeping the same phone number, look into MySudo.

If you’re in USA, Canada, Australia or UK, check out MySudo.

They have three different plans starting at $19.99 USD (year) for one VOIP phone number; when my subscription expires, I plan on renewing and possibly upgrading.

There’s a Free version but it’s just email and no phone number. They’re cheaper than Hushed and more reliable.

Avoid TextNow, it works fine until you need it or expecting something important (voicemail or text) and that’s when they lock you out until you pay up.

NOTE: I didn’t read the fine print or ToS for MySudo UK so I don’t know what they need from you if you sign up.

EDIT added link for TextNow https://www.textnow.com/wireless

He appeared in Murder, She Wrote twice (that I can remember); once as a sheriff and a tribal lawyer in another episode. Quite memorable (for me) as he portrayed the characters very well.

You will be missed. RIP, Mr. Greene.

Brave and DuckDuckGo because they’re cross-platform and give you the option to sync your bookmarks.

DuckDuckGo has Duck Player which I use if I need to watch something on YouTube, I have it set to open in a new window and no ads.

I like Brave because it’s fast and the search is fairly accurate. You can add a video to it’s Playlist for later viewing. Brave gives you the share option to Copy Clean Link.

I used (and loved Firefox) until they revoked their promise of not selling user data and seems sluggish for the past several months, but I still use Firefox Focus.

I use both android and iOS which is why I prefer cross-platform software.

This article is from The Guardian:

On the advice of various experts, people are locking down social media, deleting photos and private messages, removing facial recognition, or even traveling with “burner” phones to protect themselves.

In Canada, multiple public institutions have urged employees to avoid travel to the US, and at least one reportedly told staff to leave their usual devices at home and bring a second device with limited personal information instead.

It seems like you already know what you’re doing and I agree with everyone else: backup your data and reinstall later. Create an iCloud account specifically for travel purposes.

This article mentions someone who opted to delete their social media accounts before coming to the US. So don’t be surprised or offended when some of us start deleting our comments, lol. Good luck.

EDIT: As long as you have a travel account you shouldn’t need Advanced Data Protection but perhaps after you/she reaches her destination.

Have you tried DuckDuckGo browser? That’s what I use if I need to view something on YouTube. There’s Enable Duck Player in Settings, mine is set up to open a new window (no ads).

EDIT: No sign up or phone number required. My VPN is always on.

What about Session? It’s cross-platform and decentralized.

There’s also Simple X chat which is also cross-platform and foss.

You can send photos and files on both. There’s no need for email and phone to sign up. My friends and I like Session for it’s simplicity but my niece made everybody download Simple X because it’s “prettier”.

Ditto on used flatscreen (not-smart tv) from thrift shops; they’re light enough that you can take it with you when you move.

$500-$1000 is a good budget so you can buy new (non-smart tv) at the big box stores.

Yes, you should consider a good projector and a white bed sheet from the same thrift shop and iron it (I speak from experience). If the acoustics in your room is good then you may not need to spend a lot of money on speakers/headphones.

My friend couldn’t find black bed sheets so she bought the ugly stained ones and dyed them black and put them behind the curtains. We were able to do this setup in her backyard for the kids, too.

I also used a pre-primed canvas with my easel and worked just fine as soon as I got the angle right. Both came from JoAnn Fabric when they were closing the stores (maybe $35?). However, my Bose speakers and Sennheiser headphones were not cheap. Living in concrete and 2 different types of insulated walls are probably the reason why the acoustics suck.

That setup was so portable and worked really well that when my friend borrowed it she told me I wasn’t getting it back. You need to decide what you want to spend top dollar on: VR headset, projector, TV, etc. I’m actually curious how you end up with your entertainment setup. Good luck.

EDIT: I gave my old Harman Kardon speakers and subwoofer (from my old PC) to my friend and it still sounded good.

Perhaps it’s Luther, Line of Duty, Broadchurch, Endeavor, The Tunnel?

Or Midsummer Murder, Case Histories, Professor T?

It doesn’t sound like Death in Paradise, Brokenwood Mysteries, The Frankenstein Chronicles, Annika or The Fall.

BritBox has a list of tv series similar to Sherlock, Alienist, etc.

There’s Haden Clark but that’s gruesome. There’s a TV series about it on AppleTV and somewhere else I can’t remember but same title.

I’ll come back if I think of anything else. Good luck!

In the more than 300-year history of the Brazilian city of Curitiba, no city councillor had ever been removed from office until 2022, when a promising young Black local politician was forced out.

Renato Freitas had been accused of “breaching parliamentary decorum” by leading an anti-racism protest that ended inside a Catholic church – ironically named Church of the Black Men and built by enslaved people in the 18th century.

The expulsion was eventually overturned by the supreme court, but it was far from the last case brought against the 41-year-old Freitas, a rising star in the leftist Workers’ party of president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

He [Freitas] got his ass beat and was left naked in a police station yet he is the one accused of “breaching decorum”.
His accusers need to come over to my family’s house on Superbowl Sunday so we can teach them what breach of decorum really means.

Oh good, so glad you’re back!

Ugh. I’ve been using Ente photos since I de-googled and gave myself until the end of summer to decide if I want to upgrade my subscription. All week I’ve been trying to figure out if how to migrate to Ente auth. Grrrr!

Thanks, OP!
