A lot of the shill marketing is very hard to prove. A lot of the dialogue gets mixed in with commentors that have genuine brand loyalty.
It's far too easy for a marketing team to acquire a high karma account and blend in. We'll never get a truly clear picture of how much Reddit is astroturfed.
Yea. It's a very detached and odd statement he said, but I'm still wondering why not many are drawing the line to that. For the record I doubt he can do much damage to these corporations himself.
The wrong people tend to kill themselves in general. Those who commit the worst acts usually have supremely high self-confidence and self-assurance.
I interpreted that as a veiled threat of reprisal against the companies boycotting it. Maybe that's a darker way of thinking about it, but I wouldn't be too surprised.
Absolutely true. Best practice is to assume your Google Drive is effectively public regardless of permissions. It is very easy for a Drive to get hacked in my experience, not even considering the surveillance from Alphabet.
Many have caught onto the "boring name" thing and will click on any folder with a mundane name even slightly out of place. Encrypted ZIP files still work though, lol.
I bet we'll see a small town like this one eventually introduce an ordinance to ban "Satanism" within city limits. And they will see nothing wrong reconciling that with the Constitution.
Is paid ProtonVPN good for this? It's got port forwarding and is apparently private, but I can't tell how willing they would be to provide details to others in a bad scenario.
You are right in that stabbings feel much more personal psychologically, but I would imagine a murderer would pick the most sure weapon if it was entirely premeditated. It seems as though the guy had no intention of hiding the killing.
I'm sure many of these extremists were either charged with a felony before or involuntarily committed to a mental hospital. Both mean that they are federally banned from guns for life. I think many of these murders are out of strong rage rather than calculated killings, but they'd still probably prefer to use a gun if they had easy access.
Not to mention, in the US contractors are on the hook for all income taxes. The tax payment has to be planned for in advance, whether it's saving for it or paying quarterly estimate payments.
Contracting works well for people with a valuable skill set, but many get screwed by it.
I can't speak for the others, but I'm just curious as to why iMessage's quirks are heavily put up with. With the options of messaging apps nowadays, the "green bubble" stuff seems like an arbitrary problem.
Sure, it's stock software, but plenty are willing to switch off Edge/Safari for Chromium browsers. I understand that there's strong social pressure to conform to using the same messaging service. I think it's something that can be worked around with any proficiency with tech, along with a good argument to the social circle. I managed to get off Messenger this way and it worked great.
Personally I'd rather find the best message service than use what everyone else uses, but that's just me. It's not a big problem at the end of the day, really. People value different things with their tech, and that's fine.
The "holes" on her cheeks are easy to miss but seriously unsettling close up. They're not like freckles or blackheads but more like what termite tunnels look like in wood.
