Easier for me to just make a half gallon at a time an jar it up.

Home made version of Marie Sharp’s with more smoke.

“The man is already polling at 40% approval among GOP voters.”

The eternal metric of a good show hitting a point in season 3 or 4 where every episode opens 20 more questions than it answers, making me wonder if its going to Do a Lost on me and just fall apart. (ahem-Yellowjackets&Severance-ahem)

Yeah, rushed is part of it as well for a full 120+min movie.

And, I should say, I also loved the movie and was disappointed to see mostly negative reviews afterward, but I get it. I initially loved the fact that 87North, the director’s own production company, is both listed in the opening credits and is the company making the movie in the movie. But as the final (contrived to look awesome, which is the point, not the actual plot points) moments wrap up, it felt like it was as much an industry commercial for the director’s own production company as it was a movie just being a movie. Maybe that’s a selling feature and I overthought it, but it sort of took me out of it.

The Fall Guy. The show had a very simple premise (stunt crew moonlights as bounty hunters) that really couldn’t hold up after multiple seasons. The movie just floundered trying to do too much, and ended up far too inside baseball for normal viewers to really identify with.

There’s still corners, like Lemmy, where you can reasonably not be tracked. Even if you do the right things, you can degoogle and use reddit or other social media platforms and have it not just ping hot that it’s you.

Imagine a world where you have to show a government ID to use nearly any service, like what LinkedIn has been doing. While the eID version could (should) actually make this MORE anonymized by using hashed confirmations of being over 18, the data is too juicy for anyone to not jump straight to that point.

100%. Porn is what pushed the development of e-commerce and credit card payments online.

What they WILL get is eID laws as a result, and the total lack of privacy online.

Zombies?

Look around. We’re in an apocalypse right now.

You need zombies to make it real?

Not in the US. There’s no outbound confirmation of who leaves the county, I think at all. I can’t speak for leaving by ship, but by car and plane, you don’t hit passport control until it’s the one for the next county you enter.

It’s why when authorities in the US need to arrest someone fleeing the county, they usually do it at the plane itself.

Not up to me, I would have done the same as you suggested.

But we’re taking about this in the context of this infographic. So we have to distill this down to:

Should FF be with, or above, Brave?

I assume we’re also taking about relatively low-barrier changes that most users can implement. So vanilla FF vs vanilla Brave, there’s a difference. Can we harden FF? Sure. Will 95%+ of people do that with Librewolf or 3 dozen other forks out there? Why bother when there’s nuance to be gained with other forks? So now vanilla FF stops being relevant.

And to be clear, I don’t use Brave unless I absolutely have to. I don’t love it, but vs. normie Vanilla FF, there’s a slight edge.

Lol, no. Here’s a list of all the things that panel doesn’t account for.

Also, there’s nothing close to even attempting privacy without strong fingerprint protection anyway, which I should have also mentioned. Vanilla FF allows a bright shining canvas fingerprint that Brave and Librewolf disable.

FF doesnt deserve much better than Brave as it sends telemetry, so both on tier 2. LibreWolf would fit for tier 3 or maaaybe 4.

I love this. I hadn’t ever considered something like Tor and added friction as dividing the wheat from the chaff readers.

The problem with this period in time is that it’s awash in low effort shit. This is like placing your own book of philosophy in the library.

Not many. The thing about globalization and repealing the 20th century is that its a wobbly 3D Rube Goldberg domino landscape. 1-2 dickheads per continent is all it takes.

Literally a chapter in the Art of War.

Gotcha, sorry I thought you meant in a sort of a more large-scale coordinated way with the authoritarians.

The easiest way for China to take Taiwan back is to wait for something complicated to occupy the military and WH, even only at the very top leadership level. A protracted and undeniable scandal, another major shake-up while the boss is out of town, or the end result of all this internal military use for law enforcement that seems to want to end posse comitatus within I think 80-ish days at this point, are all options. Spin up the machine to catch it’s own tail and the response elsewhere will be too little and too late because of the more hierarchical nature of decison-making now. Steve Bannon’s own “flood the zone with shit” tactic, inspired by Tsun Tzu.

Chip fab won’t matter because nothing else logical has mattered so far. Why jump straight to a trade war with all your largest trading partners without even preparing for it? Foolishness and ego. Same same here as well.

You’re correct, however, keep in mind that authoritarians have fragile egos and are often focused locally, often on how to further subjugate their populations and garner favor. That usually means conflicts like insurgency or cross-border attacks like Russia into Ukraine (x2), Russia into Georgia, US into Mexico/Canada, India and Pakistan fighting over Cashmere, PRC and Taiwan, Serbia and Kosovo, Kenya/Somalia/Somalil and, Uganda and eastern DRC, etc. etc.

Boomer pissing contest fantasies of China and the US duking it out in the Pacific are foolish as neither wants to risk direct conflict with no tangible gains expected. It’s a guarantee of either outright loss or maaaaybe a Pyrrhic victory of you already control your media. No landing party flotilla will land in Los Angeles or Hong Kong. The US only stands to lose.

Not at all.

What we’ll get is not one big World War of Axis vs. Allies, but everyone at war with some kind of small regional pissing contest or insurgency.

Sure, most of the world will be in some form of conflict, but it won’t be a “World War” in the same sense of a 20-on-20 prolonged conflict with well-defined nation-states on each side. Not that this opinion survey can really capture that.
