I mean I legitimately do understand why you'd be so upset if you really believe nothing has changed in 200 years. Because you'd have to be pretty fucking stupid and that shit hurts.

How this actually goes down.

"Give me your wallet."

Reaches for gun

Is immediately tackled by second mugger

Face turned into jello

Mugger now has new 5.7

The OP is correct about one thing - escalating petty theft to a deadly conflict is generally a very stupid thing to do in the real world.

Yes, this gets covered in basic mandatory reporting training. The issue with intoxication is generally the power asymmetry. If there is no asymmetry, there's less of a problem. It isn't a hard and fast rule though. If someone says or implies they don't want to fuck when sober, and you both get drunk and fuck, that's probably not great. Likewise, someone taking advantage of a body mass asymmetry to remain relatively more sober while consuming the same amount of alcohol is definitely still rape.

Basically, if only one person is drunk, there is a strong presumption of assault. If both people are drunk, there is no such presumption, and you'd generally defer to the nature of their relationship outsode of the drinking. So two complete strangers getting sloshed and fucking is typically safe. Two otherwise platonic friends doing the same thing is more of a grey area and you better be sure you are not misreading the situation. You getting drunk with a friend in the hopes they will make a poor decision they wouldn't make while sober is rape.

Damn, people here really misunderstand the threat surface. The Google VPN is just fine for staying safe from things like rogue wifi hotspots and even Stingray devices to some extent. It's also makes it much harder for your ISP to data mine your web activity. Obviously if you have an Android device using Google services, Google already has access to pretty much any information they might get from the VPN service. If you are de-Googled, then obviously you'd never use this.

For the vast majority of people, privacy should be what happens outside of your curated public image. Everyone has a public image. If you try to be completely dark all the time, chances are you will slip up and just end up in an even worse position because you don't understand when or how you've lost control. This is counterintelligence 101. Real first day stuff, but so many of the 'pop-security' influencers on the internet struggle with it, because they don't have any practical CI training. However, having a public image doesn't mean you cede all control to every observer. Obviously there are many choices for VPNs, but for everyday use, this VPN Google bundles with various other products is generally high quality.

They are unironically Marxist-Leninists and actively chase away democratic socialists, and say things like "nuking American is based."

I'm not sure what else you want.

The last time I engaged with hexbear users over Ukraine, I got literally ten separate comments defending the mass abduction and deportation of Ukrainian children. And as if that wasn't crass enough, every single one was accompanied by a smug emoji.

Sorry if I don't have the energy for casual genocide denial these days!

Edit - behold!

How stupid do you have to be to still support this idiot?

[-] socsa@lemmy.ml 41 points 1 year ago

I tend to agree, but realistically who is going to enforce it? You've got to take into consideration the impact the constant stream of conflict has on low level employees who end up responsible for this enforcement. For those who want to protect themselves, N95 masks are highly effective when used properly.

WTF are you talking about, I e stopped at every stop sign for 30 years. This is all in your head. And complete fiction.

This is literally the goal. They are using porn as a trojan horse because they know nobody is going to stand up and fight them on letting children see porn

I modded a 10M+ sub for years and years and it is laughable how inept reddit's engineering team must be when it comes to developing mod tools. They literally have open source teams hacking mod tools into browser extensions and they still couldn't figure it out.

After a while it became abundantly clear that this kind of boring, iterative feature engineering was just not well funded compared to other parts of the company.

Bro they are literally calling to exterminate liberals, LGBT and trans people. If you really want to wait until that jackboot is crushing your windpipe so you can smugly whisper "both sides" with your final breath, that's your deal. I will call a spade a spade.
