According to people I trust and who were/are in a position to know, Yahtzee's contract with the Escapist is a work of art, that the Escapist never in a million years should have agreed to. In the post-Ad-pocalypse world, he would be a fool to walk away from the guaranteed pay and legal coverage. AFAIK, during the last restructuring, Yahtzee was literally the only person involved with the venture that was being paid at one point for several months.

Based boomer.

You have no idea how tired I am of hearing:

>but muh 1968

from your peers. '68 was NOTHING like the current situation. No social media, no corporate communism, no one being deplatfomred from BANKING, no 70 years of Marxist indoctrination of the entire educational system, which also drove the economic suppression of 2 entire generations via the student loan scam.

Then we locked everyone in their houses, forced~30% of them out of work, prohibited them from attending their place of worship, destroyed over 40% of the small businesses in some states, and then encouraged coast to coast race riots with the media cheering on the burning, death and destruction.

Then the opposition party is going to publicly and nakedly rig the Presidential election.

Yeah, whatever comes next is going to be cartoonishly horrible.

I'm sold, The activity lapses matching times when she was confirmed otherwise engaged, combined with zero activity since her arrest. At a minimum, she oversaw that account, even if she wasn't running it personally. The account predates the Digg exodus as well, which reeks of spook shit.

There's a difference between not being worried about your vulnerability and saying that the virus is fake. Someone in the small town midwest, under the age of 60 who is active outdoors has little to worry about. A fat, black guy in Chicago or NYC has a whole different risk profile.

The gun nuts were yelling as loud as they could that everyone should go get strapped.

That, and the historic, once-in-a-lifetime low prices of the last 3 years. My dad basically ignored me for like 5 years that he needed to move out of his culturally enriched rental, and/or get a $400 auto-loader in the house.

Last fucking week he decided that it was time to get an auto-loading shotgun, And he paid $1400 intead of $1100-ish.

Get over to www.reddit.com/r/gundeals

There are still good buys to be had. Plates are still pretty readily available, but quality plate carriers are getting scarce until September-ish.

These are a good option if you are not worried about rifle rounds. Otherwise look for Hesco Level IV plates for ~$150 each. If you need a "good enough" plate carrier fast, that will play nice with commercial 10X12 plates, look at AR500's offerings. DO NOT buy plates from them though. Steel plates are a BAD idea.

Also, ammo is expensive at the moment, but there are still plenty of good buys on guns to be had. If you can't find anything locally, find a local store that will do a FFL transfer for you and keep an eye on Gundeals for what you want.

Circumstantial, but worth more digging. I wouldn't have published until I had their post history archived fully though. Spez will nuke the account because muh witch hunting.

Next move would be to match post activity to other known periods where she was socially engaged, preferably prior to 2012, when a lot of Reddit automation and mobile utility came online.

SPEZ: Also, correctly me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this account a VERY prolific poster to r/politics BEFORE it was removed as a default for the first time?

PIA got sold to a company run by a bunch of shady ex-Israeli Intel types.

I'm planning on moving to ProtonVPN myself.
