I still have a Pioneer head unit in my 2007 WRX. Why the fuck would anyone buy a modern car? You gotta rip out the dash and add a wiring harness to disable the damn permanent modem. Older cars are really where it's at. Get something old and restore it. It'll be better and last longer, and you can install a modern head unit and get a backup camera too.

I still use Sony cellphones too. Great cameras, and you can still use their nice camera apps after you de-Google the phone:

There's not a lot of DRAM or NVRAM in a Chromebook, or even that new super cheap $500 Macbook. Be prepared for having near zero power on home compute and be required to send everything to Microsoft/Google/Amazon for the most basic shit. Need to edit video? Congratulations, we have video editing as a service! Enjoy scrubbing through 4k video with our shitty web interface, laggy UI and layers of Electron cancer. Upload straight to Youtube, and literally nowhere else. It's not like you have the storage to preserve your own copy anyway. Oh it got censored and deleted? Well too you shouldn't have been wrong-thinking or wrong-speaking. This will help you forget.

I think it was better than the book. Same with the author's last book; the screenwriters really tone down his campy dialog and cut out the slow parts perfectly.

I saw it in eyeMax opening weekend. I rarely go to the theaters these days and this one was certainly wroth it. I've been listening to the sound track all week too. Really well done. Good coding music.

I don't like people legislating to big daddy government to put companies in check. Facebook was funded by Peter Thiel and launched the day after DARPA shut down Digital LifeLog (pure coincidence. no connection. promise. move on.) They are meant to be tracking and manipulation platforms for the State.

If you don't like it, stop using it! I haven't shopped at Amazon since 2016. The trouble is the mass of people cannot turn away. I don't blame them I guess. I only deleted all my big social media accounts (FB, Insta, Xitter) ~4 years ago.

I agree with the lawyer who argued this will hurt smaller websites. The UK has effectively destroyed any and all small independent forums. They're trying to go after websites not even hosted or affiliated with the UK! It's insane.

Stuff like this could destroy the future of the fediverse.

Six years ago I wrote a proposal for Section 230 reform that I think is relevant:

You're a fool if you think the Republicans want this more than the Democrats. They both want that control. There is no left. There is no right. Every single senator and congressman up there is an actor. There were rare exceptions like Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul, Mike Gravel. The only one left is Thomas Massy.

But make no mistake, you are participating in the left-right illusions. It's fake. You are angry at the wrong people. The technocrats are everyone in power, and they want to surveil everything. Both the democrats and republicans vote for more war, less speech and a worse American.

The most radical political stance to take in America today is to reject both parties.

I think you fail to realize this has NOTHING at all to do with age-gating. Nothing at all. This has everything to do with permanently tying your identity via every app and web request to your person. It's for surveillance. It starts with the smallest simplest things like this. This IS the slippery slope, the very first step.

You don't have a border without enforcement. You have to have Immigration and Customs. Every country does. Otherwise you're not a country. People who overstay and live illegally should get shipped home. They're breaking a law and jumping the queue. If we need more workers, it should happen via congress and every person be treated equally under the law.

Some of the things ICE is doing right now is not good and clearly violates some due process. At the same time, they're barely deporting anyone. Even with that, some people (like that Irish dude) get caught up in due process violations and get deported when they shouldn't. Both things are wrong. Also people smashing the lights on ICE cruisers and isn't right either and isn't helping their cause.

Finally, the ICE stuff is mostly bullshit. It's a distraction. I question if that woman who was shot is even dead. The cops didn't let a doctor on the scene see her. Maybe it's because she's still alive. It's literally scripted outrage, with useful idiots helping the propaganda machine to keep Americans divided over core issues of essential rights for citizens.

I haven't believed anything I've seen on TV/the New for the past two decades. Seriously, you think WTC7 came down due to planes hitting two other buildings?

Trust no one.

Teenagers are being encouraged by a broken psychology system to take drugs that will permanently alter their growth, puberty and biology. That's kinda fucked up man.

You won't even read my post or look at evidence? Wow. Well sir, YOU are the little piece of shit snowflake who loves plugging your ears and yelling "nah-nah-nah-nah-nah"

Honestly, I kinda like Dylan Mulvaney. He's a cute little narcissistic show-off. It's fun. I never drank Miller Light anyway, so it's not like I it really mattered to me. Funny thing, even Mulvaney is careful not to address the women-in-sports questions if you watch him carefully.

You're honestly a piece of shit, an anonymous coward and very likely a totally failed human being. But whatever.

Oh one more thing:

Surrogacy is child trafficking with extra steps. It's illegal in Spain and many other countries. Watch these babies get placed with their surrogate parents and tell me that's okay:

There was also the gay couple that wanted a woman to terminate the baby they paid for when she got cancer.
