Where’d they go? Larian?

Gog.com is always worth a look. I found a functional copy of Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri there.

It’s nice over here, it’s not the same 15 questions across subs every 3 days. It’s not the same recycled stories ad nauseam. And, there’s more Gowron.

There is a social effect that might be at play here. Once 1 person leaves a get together it gives permission for everyone else to leave, and so that happens. Just so with Trump.

The United States WAS the de facto leader of the free world. Then T showed up mad bunny style, double middle fingers in the air, announcing to everyone “I do what I want.” He broke things. The United States was the leader of the free world. Behavior there sets an example.

So not only is there a permissive effect here, to go mad bunny style, double middle fingers in the air, announcing “I do what I want”, (see: Israel, Russia) the figure everyone used to look to for guidance and resolution to awful things like this has been absent for 8 yrs. Biden is not that guy, he was just a place holder to keep trump out.

The United States, for all our blemishes, was a stabilizing force. Until Trump. We are witnessing the long term impact of that loss, the cracks formed by the impact of Trump on the world stage.

Mad bunny, double middle fingers in the air, is looking for more of that destabilizing impact, starting Jan 6.

On another note, crops aren’t great and resources are thin elsewhere, this is likely a power grab in the name of resources, as the world winds down to being completely inhospitable. What is it the homesteaders say? Only 40 harvests left, at the most.

In addition to all the GrapheneOS recommendations, there are also faraday bags. Drop the phone in while at home or wherever.

Final Fantasy. Flowing dramatic artwork. 18 pixels of character (hyperbole, idk the actual pixel number.)

It’s fresh, for lack of a better word. Reddit is the same 5 questions on repeat in most subs. There are back corner niche groups that don’t exist here yet, but the main pages are mostly repetitive garbage.

And ten forward!

This man likely wants to be president, but cannot, so he’s riding the Trump train instead. As such, I suspect you can find him bending on free speech and leaning into incitement of more Jan 6 treason quite a bit in regards to that personal motive.

Why do we still sign? Inertia.

Just more inertia.

The don’t say what they use to define poverty. How little is little enough to be classified as poverty? Where’s the line?

Because I would’ve thought the number higher.

Wait. Why does it have ads? Aren’t you paying them for an ad free experience? If not, what’s the point?

You could return to sender what has addresses. And just return the junk that does not by dumping it in a blue drop off box, if you have one in your town.

Or do what others do, syphon off one tied off grocery bag of trash at a time each time you go to the gas station.

Or, fire pit.

To quote Eminem: Guess that’s why they call it window pane.

Excessively harsh for who? Rabid dogs who wrongfully claim to be men?

GrapheneOS. Faraday bags. Depends on you and how far you want to take it. And how much you like and rely on dynamic maps.

It’s cool when these companies get subpoenaed. Then we all know exactly what data they keep.

Proton had a recent subpeona they had to honor. All the data they had was yes, the dude has an email here. But no content. Granted, if you’re exchanging with a gmail account, it’s moot, for those exchanges anyway.

This is really simple. Use Signal or WIRE. Proton or maybe Tutanota for email.

Avoid garbage like Telegram and FB Messenger. Discord as well.

Steam, Kindle, Audible, what was that movies site?
