I've used NordVPN for a while now, but I only flip it on when I sail the high seas. I use adblock (doesn't everyone?), use Brave browser, and have a pi-hole on my network, which black holes most ad sites and malware at the DNS level.

If you did a deep dive into many of the prominent progressives that are black, I suspect you would find the same thing. These are not smart people, at best they are average, but they do have powerful friends, and have systemic advantages due to the soft bigotry of low expectations white progressives have built into their institutions.

That's because your average Hillary supporter had to maintain their moral virtue, and doesn't know any other way to argue for their policies other than morally slandering differing opinion.

All I remember about archive.org is that Taylor Lorenz has family that works there, and consequently her tweets were never archived by that site. We'll see if her substack gets archived going forward, but some how I doubt it.

Good, I hope the resulting check they have to write hurts. A lot.

They deserve it, and a lot more.

Reminder that we dont hate the media enough.

Larry Corriea explains this by using a light switch as a metaphor for describing how the right views violence, and why they are so reluctant to "flip the switch."

https://monsterhunternation.com/2018/11/19/the-2nd-amendment-is-obsolete-says-congressman-who-wants-to-nuke-omaha/

It permanently destroys who that person is from before the light switch is thrown. There is no going back from it, and flipping that switch is a one way descent into violence the likes this country hasn't seen in over 100 years. It will be up close, brutish, nasty, and no one is prepared for it, as much as they think they are. It will be entire families brutally murdered in their homes, snipers shooting people in the head over, and over again.

It will be Yugoslavia times Rwanda times a thousand.

And here is the scary part: I firmly believe the left thinks we won't do it. They aren't wrong to think that, because we haven't yet, and the right has tolerated orders of magnitude more infringements than the revolutionaries in Colonial America did, and we haven't figuratively stood our ground and had it out at our modern day Concord, MA.

Those same revolutionaries would have started shooting nearly 100 years ago, if not earlier, because of what FDR was doing.

the official CPI figure is used to for a lot of things, like, say, setting how much Social Security benefits goes up YOY, or retirement pay for military retirees. If CPI is low, so is the annual raise.

CPI has been fucked with since 1980, and is the entire reason ShadowStats exists as a web site.

I think you are partially right. The Venn diagram that includes woke "gamers" and woke coders is probably near 100%, but I would argue that such "gamers" are casuals that experience gaming now only because consoles and mobile gaming is ubiquitous, are only developers in a peripheral sense, and only are in the field at all because of the zeitgeist in the 2000s to be in "tech."

In the 1990s such people would have never been called gamers, and programming the games of the 90s would be beyond most of them, as they were coded in C and other lower level languages that do not suffer mediocrity.

Yes.

It doesn't take a college degree to learn to code. Much like writing, it is something you pick up by doing, and benefits greatly from a apprentice/mentor dynamic, because you can learn to code from people who do it for a living, instead of college professors who may have not even touched a live codebase in a decade or more.

This shouldn't not be a surprise, given how many of them are college graduates.

Colleges are the central nexus of all these infestations, and it is high time people realize this, in every industry, and start to figure out how they can hire people not inculcated in far left cult ideology.

No one has heard from either of them since the indictment was unsealed, so far as I know.

Newt Gingrich (yes, that Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House Newt) has a plethera of alternate history books. One 3 book series that imagines what would have happened had Lee won Gettysburg, and several books on WWII.

If that libertard still buys the post WWII narrative that the Nazis were in any way, shape, or form "right wing," nothing he says will be thought provoking, interesting, or even humorous.

He's a programmed NPC of the libertarian variety, and as such deserves nothing but mockery and scorn.

Walter Duranty knowingly covered up the mass starvation of millions of Ukranians by Stalin in 1930s Soviet Russia. He got a Pulitzer prize for his fake reporting, at the time, and the NYT as not, as of yet, returned it.

I inherited a blu-ray player from my dad when he died, and unlike the rest of his home theater gear, it was not hopelessly out of date, so I kept it.

I also have several SATA blu-ray drives, so I can rip stuff to H265 MP4 when I get it.

I haven't given a shit what the NYT has to say about anything since I learned about Walter Duranty.

Like I said on the reddit KIA2 post on this:

John Kerry is the domestic enemy his enlistment oath talked about all those years ago.

He has forgotten his oath. I, along with millions of other veterans, have not.

Harris campaign better get used to this, they will be seeing it forever.

Waltz is, and always has been, a putz, and Harris demonstrated her utter lack of fitness to lead, yet again, when she picked him.

Nah, Republicans need to demand debates with "moderators" that favor them. I'd love to see Charlie Kirk and Jack Posobiac moderate one of these.
