before… SCOTUS had been carving out exceptions to the fourth and fifth amendments

They’ve been doing that shit since the country was founded. The fourth and fifth amendments only exist if you’re a rich person and the cops need an excuse not to investigate you.

I’ve heard of card counters getting stopped by security when they try to walk into a casino, there are definitely ways to “make” someone’s car and put it in a database but the tech is still spotty afaik.

7. Choosing the distro most aligned with Juche ideology - Red Star OS

The capchas getting really bad on Mullvad almost made me give up on using a VPN. But then I learned about Buster.

This is my third post in a row shilling for this browser extension lol, it’s so good.

There’s a browser extension, but it uses an older technique of requesting the audio captcha and then parsing the words, which is probably more energy efficient anyway.

Same. That’s why Buster is my most recent must-have browser extension, alongside such greats as ublock and sponsorblock.

As far as swords go, the gladius is still the goat.

Pretty much everyone post-Stalin fumbled the bag. The fact that the USSR lasted as long as it did once the leadership was essentially asleep at the wheel is a testament to how robust its foundations were.

Frankly, George Orwell is part of the problem. Aside from a brief stint during the Spanish Civil War where he supported the CNT-FAI, he spent the overwhelming majority of his life supporting the British Empire and relentlessly hating Communists (and other socialists and members of minority groups) of all stripes, to the point where even the British government told him to chill the fuck out because they were allied with the Soviets. His books aren’t immensely popular in extremely right wing countries because they have a left wing critique of government overreach, they’re popular because they are anti-government in exactly the same vague and malleable way that all populist right wingers are.

The whole Western world is at this point, it’s so depressing. Even when the left seems to win democratically people like Macron nakedly abuse their authority and choose to caucus with the fascists over the social democrats.

I remember subscribing to YouTube Red when it first came out (and had a reasonable price), literally the first video I watched after subbing included an ad for YouTube Red in it. I was so fucking pissed lmao, thank goodness for SponsorBlock.

Tons of the problems of modern day matchmaking could be solved by this, but if players are running their own servers then they can just have their server give them the items they want, which means no more premium currency purchases for R$.

I don’t have a washing machine so I end up using an overpriced laundromat (or visiting my parents lmao), but ever since I saw a tiktok of a tiny Japanese machine that was both a washer and a dryer one of those been at the top of my wish list. I don’t even care if it can only wash one or two sets of clothes at a time, that’s all I need.

I think you could be right, but it depends on the details Nintendo comes out with. I remember people were saying that they thought certain Palworld monsters had been ripped from the Pokemon games and recolored - if Nintendo can demonstrate that, then that’s a slam dunk for them.

But if it’s just creature designs and collecting them, then I just don’t think that “a cute monkey with green fur” is a novel enough concept to be defensible against someone else doing something similar.

clay that was fired after impression

New record format just dropped.

When I was a kid they taught penmanship too. I was awful at it but then when I was an adult I had a job where I actually had to use those skills and I was glad to have them - same with everything I learned in Home Ec, most the stuff I learned in wood/metal/auto shop, etc. I think all of those classes are extinct now, based on how people talk about school never teaching them anything useful.

Blow a fat cloud on someone else’s desk so their name pops up, bonus points if your teachers suck and blindly punish anyone whose name gets triggered.

we hope this will reduce vaping through social pressure

The social pressure of all of your friends knowing that you’re cool and break the rules?
