    Decent Free VPN?

  • I feel you, the slop is one of the few things keeping me going in this shithole. You may be able to use a free SOCKS5 proxy to achieve it, and I guess if you only use it when

    you'll probably be ok. I would still be highly suspect.

  • Well it's your digital safety comrade. I'm not sure what you're doing with a VPN that you desperately need to keep doing even though you can't afford it, but I can't reasonably believe that a free VPN would be the way to go in your situation...

  • If you can't do without it, pay for it. Joining a "free" VPN would almost certainly open you up to all sorts of badware and surveillance. It's a lib thing to say, but if you aren't paying for it, you're the product.

    Others may have opinions on VPNs generally, but I'd only trust them for piracy or something. If you are doing anything else that you want to hide, I wouldn't trust a single one in the anglosphere.

  • Haha yeah I have the same problem with emotes too. I think we need to do a better job of adding keywords or improve the search

  • Gen Z went to movie theaters most often in 2025, according to New Exhibition Report. Also - the number of habitual moviegoers - those who see at least six films a year - grew by 8%.

  • I like your analysis and it aligns with a lot of things that have worried me. However, it remains to be seen if there are still enough competent actors in the US government to execute this whole thing correctly. Based on the past 5 years my only shred of optimism is that Americans are too brain damaged from Long COVID to do this properly. It'll still utterly fuck Venezuela but my hope at least is that the damage isn't nearly as permanent and it's another fumble for Empire.

  • What do you think of panpsychism/the hard problem of consciousness?

    Jump

  • I might want to pick your brain at some point though.

    Feel free to poke my grey matter whenever!

    Honestly haven't brought it up to people irl too much, they would not be convinced anyway.

    most people either don't care or don't believe you, and the few that do usually forget about it entirely the next time i see them...

  • Every place I see climate news from also has- significantly worse politics then here

    For real. The collapse subreddit has lefties every now and then, and it's one of the few places on the internet to broach these topics, but it's mostly misanthropy of various flavors. I'm so deep in the doomworld that posts there aren't even new information to me now so it's not even worth visiting anymore

    words online are a good way to spend the twilight of humans

    Actually yeah you're right. We may as well relish the futile. I'll keep you in mind if I see something interesting that might be worth a discussion.

    Climate change and all its implications are a pathological obsession of mine, to the point that it has totally ruined my social life

  • Yes, this is essentially what needs to happen. I think its hypothetically possible for that to happen, we overcome desires all the time. Especially with the consequences being so grave. Plus we're talking a society that is already seeking equality, most good for the most people etc. I'm imagining a very selfless socialist/communist society being able to come together and degrowth and live sustainably.

    I'm glad this makes sense to somebody else. I have the privilege of knowing Smart Science People in daily life who I can engage on these topics with to a certain extent, but they are not Marxists so it never feels like our conversations lead to dialectical "progress." They are very smart but ultimately libs so trying to have these discussions is so utterly unsatisfying.

    If we had overthrown the rich 100 years ago and had global socialism by say the 1970s, yea definitely. I am not optimistic at present that this will materialize in reality.

    That is basically my position. It's not that humans are incapable of solving the polycrisis, it's that our present material conditions (and I am including a livable biosphere in this) are probabilistically determined. Our species needed to "get lucky" on many dice rolls in order to place itself in a competitive position at this very moment, and we failed basically all of them.

    Thank you for responding to my @. I viewed your profile after doing so and was worried I shouldn't have brought the topic up given your headspace. I know words on the internet mean shitall during the twilight of our species, but I am truly thankful for being able to engage with somebody on this topic.
