Trapped In America

Yeah, I gave mine (a whole $7) to Make-A-Wish. Don’t even use PayPal so…

Oh really? That’s good to know.

I wonder how they justify that on taxes lol…

“Yeah, we paid out $500 to [email protected]. You’ll need to verify the other details with PayPal.”

That’s true, ICE & Co. are also all over Mexico right now because of the cartels. The whole border lock down and immigrant round-up thing is only half of their current force. And one of the big things they’ve been doing down there is monitoring/tapping their communication networks.

So yeah, never mind, probably not a good idea. If it was just for torrenting or something it’s probably fine, but beyond that I wouldn’t push it.

I’m honestly hoping for a repeat. Hopefully Microsoft goes down this time too, since they’re heavily into AI. Twitter, Meta, Google and Amazon too. It’s really just the worst of the worst.

It’s more about the latency since it’s right over the border (<30ms). It’s also a full 10Gbps so I can let family/friends use it and don’t have to worry if a few of them are pulling the full 1Gbps from home connection. Doubt I’m gonna be able to match both of those with a Chinese VPS :/

Honestly looking at Mexican datacenters right now. Some are basically the same distance, just in the opposite direction lol

Just make sure someone instantly takes it (work as a group, so you all know exactly who’s grabbing it). Then give them the basket right back. They’ll figure it out after the 2-3 run that they need to stop fucking around and get back to their other tables.

I’ve actually asked and they’ll do exactly that. It’s apparently policy for them not to ask and to only stop when you tell them. Even if they have those prefilled, hand-crank shredders they use now, they’ll just calmly set it down and pickup another, then go back to shredding.

I’ve been so tempted ever since, every time I’m dragged back there by family/friends/etc. Just to see the looks on their faces.

Oh ffs… my best VPN server is in Canada lol

Airbnb said he had been warned for violating its terms and told he would be removed if there was another similar report. The company told him that it could not verify the images he submitted as part of his complaint.

Um, yes you can, those are verifiably altered images and this is verifiably criminal fraud. Now stop beating around the bush, grow a spine and take some direct action. Cowards.

There’s your problem. All that grass makes for a terrible child sacrifice during their pedo parties. The blood soaks right in and you never get a chance to collect it for the Sangria mix.

So Canada?

(They do have a history of going a little overboard with the homicidal stuff. But they’ve come a long way in the last few decades.)

Perfect for letting your buddies outside know when Tony’s wife comes to visit. Tony’s the guy you’ve been beefing with over your tater-tots every Tuesday btw. Oh hey, what’s this, his exact address too? Sweet!

Same!

Even worse: They’re going to start creating 2 separate astroturfed campaigns to sell competing ideas, that both actually work in their favor. Which gives the illusion of choice to the uninformed public who lack all of the real context, like you mentioned. You’re seeing it right now in the Republican Party over the whole Epstein Files issue. Half of them pretending to be outraged and the other half making excuses for Trump. When all of them are really just watering the issue down, and buying time while he continues to buttfuck the country.

It’s a basic post-Soviet, Russian Propaganda tactic. And it’s a shame we (the American people) never learned to spot it.

I get that, during casual conversation etc. But what if there’s a bunch of violet and purple flowers and they pick a violet one? The distinction can matter and knowing it can be useful. You can’t use other people’s ignorance as an excuse.

Even crayon companies make both for a reason JS :P

As a long time Frontline, NOVA and News Hour watcher: Fuck these people. They’re literally killing some of the best investigative and science journalism we have. They’re clearly just trying to make this country dumber under the guise of cleaning up the budget.

Violet’s wavelength is singular, and near the edge of the visible spectrum while purple has 2 peaks and is in the middle, as mix of red and blue (as stated). Think harmonics but with light.

They are very much different colors. The shade/hue/etc. are all different values. 4F2F4F vs 800080.

Yeah, that’s for their ad-free Premium thing, which gets rid of ads and lets you skip the nag screen you’re talking about. Which, fun fact, you can use uBlock Origin and a Greasemonkey script to skip (I’d recommend ViolentMonkey to run the script) ;)

Which reminds me, the top mods every game/month are eligible for a small cut of that money if you opt-in and give them your real personal info. I’ve only ever made the cut once so I completely forgot about it.

Dude, hell yes, thank you for this! The place is definitely going on the list for my next road trip now. I usually run a big loop and I’ve been to Texas more than enough, so I’ve been looking for other things to check out on my way through the south western states.

Long time modder here, so I’ve been keeping up with this very closely. The owner (Dark0ne) really just handed control over to the people that were already running everything with him. The company (Black Tree Gaming Ltd.) is still exactly the same, they just have a new owner/parent company now (Chosen Something). And I’m sure he negotiated ahead of time that they’re limited in how much they can interfere, because I’ve seen nothing on my side indicating they plan to. (There’s no option for me to monetize my mods outside of donations or Patreon, for example.)
