ICE on its way to be renamed into Schutzstaffel

yeah, rare earths are a misnomer - they are not rare, they are not highly concentrated in one spot. if the price goes up, exploiting other deposits becomes worthwhile. damn, there is a deposit in Kärnten / Austria that is just not yet profitable to develop; thats an area where mining goes back centuries.

Idea: split canada in 200 states, take over the senate!

For everyone who doesn’t want to read the links: important to note is that had the french activist accessed his protonmail account using any vpn (including proton) or the protonmail .onion site, they would have had nothing useful to report. also, it looks like they only logged the IP after being ordered to monitor access to the mailbox.

It also seems that they were quite frustrated that they couldn’t resist in this case, mentioning the inappropate usage of anti-terror laws against what in reality were squatters (which in turn compelled the swiss judges to grant the monitoring).

No, they are the morals of all people who try to take away freedoms from others, for example parents who prefer an open discussion with their children, or people who might risk a lot by their preferences becoming public in a data leak - like the whole of the LGBT-spectrum in the USA, Russia, large areas of Africa and the UK too (since gender-affirming care is getting wrecked there too) for example. Even if it weren’t that parts of the public were endangered, the underlying tools and mechanisms are easily abused as censoring mechansisms - slap a “that’s against our morals”-sticker on it and let it disappear.

All my traffic is running over a VPN, because i don’t like getting tracked. But regulations like this go beyond what affects me (it really doesn’t - i couldn’t tell you when i last watched porn if i wanted to). A prime example would be reproductive health; sites that explain a teenager stuff that he wouldn’t ask his parents or a teacher might easily be labels as pornographic by puritans (the parents you wish that spoke up more might not, but i can guarantee you that those types will speak up first and loudest when they get the chance). You are also taking away that from every teenager in the country, especially those less privileged and with zealots as parents.

Even worse: The clearweb porn sites today are pretty sanitized, so there won’t be anything really illegal on it. If they get their fingers on the stuff on the dark web by installing TOR, then they might be exposed to far more dangerous, illegal and traumatizing content and real life dangers than the average porn clip.

The barrier for entry can also be set by parents, if they are worth a fuck. put parental locks on their devices, thats the only thing you can realistically control anyways. No need for messy databases which will leak, no need for creating a precedent for censoring the web. Limiting advertising for whatever is easy in comparison and the mechanisms are already in place (and active - i don’t think that hardcore porn gets many ad slots at prime time tv).

Stealing and hurting infringes on the freedom of others, watching porn doesn’t. My ID isn’t required for buying alcohol because i don’t get confused with a 16 year old anymore.(you can add 3-4 decades on that) You still get asked even being a parent of a child? Must be quite the genes you have there.

Sorry for assuming your parenting habits. You spoke like one of those zealots i spoke above. If you aren’t one and you simply didn’t realize the dangers of legislation like this when enacted, i hope that you i gave you food for thought.

was gonna say, no such guide can be considered complete without fmhy; i wouldn’t send them to repackers, since every pirate desires different types of treasure (even for games it depends on the system, someone might look for the games he played on the psx in his youth)

Your personal morals should not be the basis of laws that invade the privacy of every last person in the country, including your sons. Don’t you think that educating your son on sex, porn and reasonable usage (depending on age) would be an approach that would foster an atmosphere of trust and responsibility in the relationship between you and your child, making a law unnecessary? The way you seem to handle it just a) makes most kids curios and b) will make kids just hide their behaviour (and they will be seeing stuff, since most kids gain access in one way or another, and they share proudly for clout). Don’t forget that the best liars come from very strict homes.

Thats actually pretty helpful, thanks!

you are just funneling BILLIONS into your Military Industrial Complex, which is good for the shareholder value of the usual suspects, while dropping off your used stuff all over Europe. The US are mainly helping themselves. It just happens to also help Ukraine.

The rental car agencys in Austria and Germany had a huge amount of those. They didn’t sell well because of the optics, but if you needed a replacement car because yours broke down, they were awesome and always in stock.

I now have to get cuddled by my cats.

As i am currently cursed with a cold myself…

I HATE COLDS

i would rather have a broken leg or something, everytime some stupid virus finds my its way into my nose i am a fucking wreck for 4 days, while my wife just shrugs off the same goddamn virus with ease.

She’s always laughing at me when i have a cold, because it really fucks me up beyond all recognition. she simply cannot understand why a bit of a cold has such a profound effect on men.

neither can i.

My second cat ever loved soy sauce, his sister French fries from McDonalds and vanilla flavoured protein pudding.

In the current cat generation: the oldest does love to take a bite or two from sourdough bread, and another one likes nutella (which is poison for him; he isn’t the smartest one if it wasn’t obvious)

I feel seen :-(

Following Friday’s killing of Nasrallah, a former conservative Iranian MP told MEE that Israel was behaving like a “rabid dog”, adding that it “must be controlled.”

well, there’s a first time for everything. i just agreed the first time with an Iranian conservative.

I did not expect to read “Blender” and “Model” in this context ever.

technically correct since humans are animals.
