So I’m now wondering if he would hold onto that until big pharma is off the hook for their role in the opiate epidemic.

  • Get the most lower class Americans struggling for healthcare (dawn of country)
  • Have them stick to their low paying jobs because they have healthcare (Dawn of the 20th century)
  • Get them hooked on opiates a rigged FDA approved of due to the company that made it funded the studies and had them on the board
  • Make them dependent on them when they get injured by buying doctors
  • Now you have a low income addict to a drug. Job fucks him over? Arrest him for homelessness. Police terry stop him? Arrest him for drug possession. He starts questioning how it all happened, "you're some kinda commie lib hippy, arrest him!"

Thomas wants liberals in jail, he doesn't care how.

I have tried a seedbox before, but the bottleneck is the last mile of my home internet. I just have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ hooked onto my router via ethernet. I just log onto qBittorrent and tell it to go as I sleep, and turn it off when I wake up. The downloading is done already onto a spare laptop drive I have, and then I watch it via Jellyfin or sneakernet it over to a friend.

I won't say a seedbox is useless, I think it's great, but due to how my living works, it's not great. I've waited several minutes for a few PNGs to download, game updates often take hours. Not even counting how the actual fucking wind slows down my internet, due to the copper wiring being on poles like electricity. And I live in a place with so many windmills due to the natural features of the land creating daily wind storms from 4 PM until 7 AM.

I really do appropriate the advice however!

Most Americans don't see themselves as workers, they see themselves as just some a main character who is only struggling due to a personal fault in a quick time event rather than corporate planed actions that worked with the government to enable that thinking in the first place.

No it won't. They'll just make every case the worse possible way and wipe their hands clean of it.

They won't regret one moment of it. Maybe a small migraine but all 9 of the members agreed to have no oversight, no party can get enough to impeach any member of it, and they remain on it until they retire (why give up the ability to construct the entire government of 314 million?) or die in the seat.

Every single one of them just wants power, this gives them that. Welcome to fascism. We can't elect any of them, we can't remove any of them, and they get to state if someone is not bound by law or protected by it. And we're not even trying to pack the courts anymore.

One of those dudes who you knew he was in something you loved, but never could remember quite which one. Because he was lovely and blended in every time.

RIP to a wonderful actor. I was looking at his Wikipedia page not that long ago.

My internet isnt fast enough, My average download speed for the entire place is maybe 18 MB/s, and 0.5 MB/s upload.

Torrenting helps solve the problem as I can just tell it to download in chunks and then turn it off when I need more leg room on my copper wire internet from 2003 that AT&T doesn't change.

I have some of the slowest speeds where 4G Data is a massive upgrade, so when I need to offload some jpgs to discord or something, its faster if I just send them to my phone and upload that way.

Maybe THIS will get the Dems to ditch the filibuster and pack the court.

God I hope so. The 2024 memo should read to every voter: "Hey, the SCOTUS is a fucking corrupt thing where the only thing is to pack them and end the filibuster. Vote Democrat, get a good court you can at least have some faith in again."

It's not gonna happen, but every time Democrats make plans and act on it, they win seats.

With the debate, I'm not swapping my vote for Biden. It's "not all there, can still hold a valid and truthful talk, but not as racist" or "lying fucking piece of shit, who's brain is melting, and hates way more people" as the two options.

Biden is the saner option, but holy shit what a bad debate. I was flummoxed on why Biden's team just allowed it to happen. Faux News is probably lapping this up like a dog on a summers daty.

That's it mainly. Port forwarding improves my torrenting enough to where I get better reliability.

[–] queue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago (10 children)

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.

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.
