I bet a few of them are.

despite the fuckery, many policy decisions are changed by people calling in and emailing in and telling the elected officials that people are watching them and disagree with what they are doing.

public opinion does make a difference, so on a personal level that’s what we can do.

at a personal level, contact the governor and ask them how you can be certain as a voter that trump won’t steal the election like he tried in 2020.

let them know you’re paying attention.

sorry to be late, but I’ve been using a dual boot Linux windows for several years, I leave secure boot off.

That’s easily toggled in the bios.

I was worried about this ex nothing, but I’ve had no problem switching back and forth between Linux and windows like normal for weeks now, so I don’t think it’s a problem, especially if secure boot is disabled.

bun-zuh

oh good, that totally makes senseWHAT?!

oh, got it.

I almost quoted the whole thing because I was like why would they write “newcomer” and “for years” one after the other?

thanks

“One of the notable newcomers is FitGirl-Repacks”

Fitgirl’s been around over a decade.

they’ll catch up to fitgirl in another decade or so, by which time there are going to be five new fitgirls. five dozen?

was that their stated reason for attacking the internet archive?

to bring awareness to the security breaches?

little fucks.

“I stole your wallet because pockets are so vulnerable. I’m helping.”

what do you mean? like the blackfish documentary?

“Is it risk, or are you just being a pussy”

Risk(especially perceived risk) does stop many people, and many people don’t truly understand risk.

“I bet you risk your life, limbs, and liberty every single day driving into work.”

no. I don’t commute to car by work.

“They never thought THAT was a risk.”

many people don’t truly understand risk.

"Go somewhere you don’t plan to. It aint gonna last forever "

I’ve been traveling spontaneously for the past decade and agree.

especially with this part:

“It aint gonna last forever”

I was stating a general rule, like the shower thought was attempting.

If you understand risk and its circumstances, you can mitigate that risk regardless of your situation.

If I follow, you’re theorizing the unpracticed ability of a small minority of privileged people?

independently wealthy people can be more spontaneous, but are generally more conservative, they’re as afraid as everybody else of spending their money.

not at all.

The ability to be spontaneous is directly proportional to your willingness to accept risk.

knowledge mitigates much of that risk.

yup, blocked that instance.

it’s controlled by one or a very small group of people, and none of the rules are followed.

you can, it just takes practice.

talking to people reminds me how similar everybody is and how connected we all are, regardless of what I read on the internet.

traveling, even to a different town, will make it much more likely you’ll talk to strangers

international travelers are far more gracious and interested in people as a group than any other group I know.

people anywhere, though, seem to enjoy hearing an idle idea or personal observation. a lot of people are lonely or so set in their routine that anything new is exciting, so I’ll try and say something just to let them know that somebody else has noticed they exist.

I love giving small compliments about hair or clothes, because people are invariably shocked to receive them.

there’s a bunch of apps that let you download the MP3s directly from YouTube, and those are often full albums on a single track.

I’m not on iOS, but this thread has a bunch of ideas:

I wish that in order to make a non-original piece of film, there was a lengthy process where the filmmakers had to prove they had something new to say and jump through a bunch of hoops so that 17 groups of people didn’t remake the same fucking book every couple of decades.

I like original stories.

imagine If instead of writing stories, most authors just wrote somebody else’s story with the same names, sequence of events, and swapped out car for a horse and buggy. because the guy isn’t eccentric enough.

ahhahah, whaaat, dude, that Myspace-looking page is insane!

I can’t find links for iOS or Android on that page.

but I appreciate you bringing up binaural beats at all. I’ll check out whatever’s on the Play Store and see what happens.

these guys?
