  • Granted this was 1999 but I wish I could unsee the shit I saw one day when I did a SELECT password FROM user

  • And what is a private key? How exactly do you “keep” it across multiple devices? It’s all still black magic to me.

  • It reminds me a little of Game of Thrones, where all the major players, the royals etc all have spy networks. This is a world where very poor peasants and servants are everywhere and many of them, including children, end up in the employ of this person or that person, watching who is coming and going and reporting back, such that one’s movements and meetings are trackable to a minute degree. The better your spy network, the more power you have.

    Of course Varys, spymaster to the crown, is famed for the effectiveness of his network, which spans the continent and even across the sea to other major cities.

    He himself is a master of disguise. This was left out of the show entirely but he frequently appears by surprise, whipping off the guise of an old woman and later leaving the scene dressed as a priest, etc. He grew up with actors and uses makeup and costume changes to hide his tracks. He can change his voice and gait at will and routinely shocks people by his ability to blend in and appear or disappear at will. He knows how to leave a place by a different entrance than he came in, and knows all the secrets passageways of the castle.

    Basically, in a world with no privacy, the world’s foremost surveillance master is a model for all of us in these times. If you want to move freely in public but do so without a trace, be prepared to pull your hood up and when you leave a restaurant, take off the hoodie you were wearing when you went in. Practice different postures to throw off gait tracking.

    You don’t have to like it, but this is the world we live in.

  • Apology accepted.

  • Yes you can see this culturally in the old stereotypes about “old money” versus “new money.”

    Rich family with a hereditarily passed down fortune, lands, and control = old money = feudalism.

    Entrepreneur who came from nothing but tok advantage of emerging economies to become wealthy overnight = new money = capitalism.

    Old money hates new money because capitalism dethroned feudalism.

  • True

  • Of all the things you might miss by moving to a rural area, this should be the least of your worries. There are places to take a shit out there. Have you ever heard of a septic tank?

  • I take these daily and while I always have good shits, the pills didn’t turn me into some kind of shit machine. Results may vary I guess.

  • Well that’s a pain in the ass, isn’t it?

    I believe it though. Researchers out there have shown that even things like time of day can make a HUGE difference in the measurable results of different remedies and medicines. It’s inconvenient as shit for those of us who would like to wake up, chug a handful of pills, and get on with our day.

  • Any one you walk away from…

  • Good breakdown. Pretty obvious now that you point it all out.

  • Imagine thinking that what god wants most is for you to put on a little hat, grab a rifle, and go live in the desert in an RV.

  • Look at that cosplaying loser in his helmet and tactical vest. Sheesh. Someone give him a plastic toy sheriff’s star too.

  • Find a $2 scam you can pull hundreds of times a day and you’re a third world billionaire.

  • We’d need to know exactly how far back because NewEgg has for years been just like Amazon: a listing service for junky third party sellers.

  • Like I said, childish. And you just used a fucking AI reply as evidence? Call me when you’ve ever had to accomplish something in this world.

  • I heard MAGAts are placing miniature replicas of the Charlie Kirk death tent in front of their Christmas trees instead of nativities.

  • I see what you did there

  • Heh… yeah… awkward!

  • Inheritance. Your move.

    It’s not a proper gardening community without this posted at least once, so let’s get it out of the way :D
