Still miss port forwarding.
Thoughts intrusive, ass protrusive, trans inclusive
Things people have claimed I work for, on the payroll, or are some kind of propaganda agent.
Russian bot: 11
Chinese Communist Party: 6
Central Intelligence Agency: 11
Democrat Party/DNC: 6
Republican Party: 6
Bernie Bro: 9
Still miss port forwarding.
That is genuinely amazing, losing 60 ships to a country without an actually big navy. Invading Ukraine to have warm waters for your navy, and you still lose.
This is Russia’s “don’t invade Russia in winter”. Don’t launch a naval assault on Ukraine, apparently.
“Fine, if you’re not going to vote Biden, at least vote down ballot. Primaries and local offices are the next wave of politicians.”
[Funds into primaries to remove progressives from office, backs conservatives because of “electability”.]
“Oh uh, sorry. By the way this is you, the pleb’s fault, not the rich we gladly accept. Maybe next year we won’t pull the football out of the way when someone pays us to?”
If Recall went through, so much for “it’s all localized and offline.”
I understand its (currently) not happening, but if Microsoft was able to deflect the criticism long enough, and since no company makes a change like this overnight (The time to approve of the privacy policies, shifting of storage for it, the increased traffic on their servers needing to be accommodated), can you imagine just having it still installed and enabled by default?
We only got Al Capone due to tax evasion, and even Trump gets around that! The fucking mafia committing crimes has to worry about the IRS more than dipshit orange fuck Trump.
Again, can we call ourselves a democracy when one of the “only” choices is a convicted felon who tried to coup the government? Because there’s a word for when the “the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens” run the joint, it’s Kakistocracy.
Jesus Christ can we just lock him away? Why does he get to run for office, get more money for being a charged criminal, while us plebs have to worry about cops shooting first and asking questions later?
Gag him, but it won’t do dick when he’s already been gagged and violated it, and courts take forever for the richest and most corrupt fuckers on the planet. He needs to be in jail for his crimes. (Yes I know you can run for office from jail, Eugene V. Debs did it when he was arrested for protesting the draft of WW1.)
Rape jokes aren’t cool even if its prisoners or male on male. Jesus Christ.
“I don’t think it’s defensible,” said Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine. “I’m extremely dismayed, disappointed and disillusioned to hear that the U.S. government would do that,” said Lucey, a former military physician who assisted in the response to the 2001 anthrax attacks.
In 2019, Trump authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government, Reuters reported in March. As part of that effort, a small group of operatives used bogus online identities to spread disparaging narratives about Xi Jinping’s government.
U.S. military leaders feared that China’s COVID diplomacy and propaganda could draw other Southeast Asian countries, such as Cambodia and Malaysia, closer to Beijing, furthering its regional ambitions.
A senior U.S. military commander responsible for Southeast Asia, Special Operations Command Pacific General Jonathan Braga, pressed his bosses in Washington to fight back in the so-called information space, according to three former Pentagon officials.
By summer 2020, the military’s propaganda campaign moved into new territory and darker messaging, ultimately drawing the attention of social media executives.
In regions beyond Southeast Asia, senior officers in the U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations across the Middle East and Central Asia, launched their own version of the COVID psyop, three former military officials told Reuters.
Although the Chinese vaccines were still months from release, controversy roiled the Muslim world over whether the vaccines contained pork gelatin and could be considered “haram,” or forbidden under Islamic law. Sinovac has said that the vaccine was “manufactured free of porcine materials.” Many Islamic religious authorities maintained that even if the vaccines did contain pork gelatin, they were still permissible since the treatments were being used to save human life.
The Pentagon campaign sought to intensify fears about injecting a pig derivative. As part of an internal investigation at X, the social media company used IP addresses and browser data to identify more than 150 phony accounts that were operated from Tampa by U.S. Central Command and its contractors, according to an internal X document reviewed by Reuters.
Facebook executives had first approached the Pentagon in the summer of 2020, warning the military that Facebook workers had easily identified the military’s phony accounts, according to three former U.S. officials and another person familiar with the matter. The government, Facebook argued, was violating Facebook’s policies by operating the bogus accounts and by spreading COVID misinformation.
The military argued that many of its fake accounts were being used for counterterrorism and asked Facebook not to take down the content, according to two people familiar with the exchange. The Pentagon pledged to stop spreading COVID-related propaganda, and some of the accounts continued to remain active on Facebook.
Nonetheless, the anti-vax campaign continued into 2021 as Biden took office.
Angered that military officials had ignored their warning, Facebook officials arranged a Zoom meeting with Biden’s new National Security Council shortly after the inauguration, Reuters learned. The discussion quickly became tense.
“It was terrible,” said a senior administration official describing the reaction after learning of the campaign’s pig-related posts. “I was shocked. The administration was pro-vaccine and our concern was this could affect vaccine hesitancy, especially in developing countries.”
Same, I’m da trash racc, I eat da gorbage
But we don’t have the President saying stupid shit on Twitter every day, so I guess that means we’re back to a sane normal, or whatever white cishet liberals need to say to sleep well at night. Ignore the bloodshed of BIPOC and queers, women and their doctors fleeing red states over being arrested for bodily autonomy, and that white nationalists just goosestep freely because its not respectable to tell fascists to fuck off and die, it doesn’t impact you, so it’s all sane politics and electable!
Sure, I agree that it should be brought up more, and that Trump gets endless free airtime even from liberal news outlets. But it’s just wild to go “No one remembers or talks about these, the media ignores it!” while we’re talking about it and the good it has done.
But they did make headlines, that’s how we know about these. The FTC and FCC doing their job more is good and makes headlines.
It’s good, don’t get me wrong. But man it feels like table scraps compared to a lot on what Biden ran on in 2020.
And I’d just like a president who doesn’t break promises, protects women’s rights, fights against a corrupt court, didn’t lock up more Mexicans at the border, raised the minimum wage, protected the EPA, didn’t claim COVID is over while people are still dying…
“But that’s Congress’ job!” And yeah sure it is, but has he ever fucking asked Congress to do these things? Has he been vocal consistently about it like progressives want him to? Nope. He won’t be.
When you vote for lesser evil, you get evil.
White liberals being racist? Shit man, is the pope catholic?
“He’s murdered people and failed to protect the rights of Americans.”
“Uhh… so?”
God do you people just like to sound like dismissive pricks to bloodshed or is it second nature to selling your soul to a party?
Can’t buy products if the products aren’t for sale. That’s why they keep doing it. It lets people blame the Russian government and people on buying it and the American government and people for failing prohibiting the sale of it.
When the simple solution is: Don’t allow companies to sell products to your enemies when it’s war.
Dred Scott is considered what directly lead to the Civil War. But god this one is close to that much of a fuck up.
Of course they’re back, they’ve been back since the 1960s, or 1910s if you wanna go back slightly further.
And as a reminder: Modern gun control laws were started because the Black Panthers also trained and learned to defend themselves from far right militias to express the right to vote and free speech. We didn’t start doing anything when the KKK locked and loaded, only when people started defending themselves from the KKK.
2024: “Not Trump”
2020: “Not Trump”
2016: “Not Trump”
God I’m tired of it. I know its the better option, lesser of two evils, I’m going to vote for Biden if I live to November, but we act shocked when we get evil when we vote for lesser evil.
Wonderful software, easy payment, great rates, but lack of port forwarding is a major fallback. I understand it was due to a very minor chunk of bad actors, but that minor chunk was hosting CSAM and other horrible internet-accessible things, and no way to track what traffic is where, means they had to remove the feature for the 98% of good faith users.
But I almost refuse to use AirVPN’s software. It’s so… weird. I’m thankful they support wireguard with zero issues, so I can just use the default network manager and apps for Linux/Android, but that client interface is so backwards compared to Mullvad and iVPN.
