And all this time I thought the point was you were trying to prove how clever you were, how stupid I am, how I don't get it, and how you are just superior. Which of course you don't think I get because I don't believe you. Why would I? Why would you believe me if I said the same things to you? We all think we're right. And in the end it's all a big whoosh.
And I live rent free in your head. Honestly, is that all there is for you?
Being one of many does not make you less guilty.
If you're selling (or just giving away) copyrighted content, they will seize your domain, and then go about trying to sue or arrest you.
So it's just who did you offend. You and me, getting malware because we tried an old site? Feh, as if they care. Sports league, yeah, we gonna hunt you. Movie studio, cut your Internet access off, suer you for billions, can we put you in jail?
It's just who you offend. And it's not just about the Internet...
Actually, it's domain registrars who 'park' domains and sell the access to scum.
My long-time corporate employer used 3 network security teams, cooperating but competing...
One of course examined external 'threats'. Their definition of 'threat'? traffic. All incoming network traffic was a threat.
The next examined all internal 'threats'. Uh, they meant traffic, of course.
The third had several roles. First, they actively and continuously challenged both of the threat teams. A former team member regaled me with stories of copycatting a newly discovered vulnerability, hammering both teams as they could. They made outright attempts looking like black hats. And they employed hosts worldwide, to more fully emulate the real threat actors. While both other teams may have employed honeypots, this challenge team most certainly did. They had the best times, trolling CVEs and those great Internet security mailing lists to beat the bad guys to the fix.
And this weas for a business that also had to protect against frauds of several flavors, which meant there were two (or more, I do not really know) teams working at different levels or vectors of frauds. Great fun.
I wished sometimes I was in that group, but after a 20 year career in small business It, and the rapid changes in data security, I do not miss it. Having a mail server and a WordPress server is enough. Having been baptized into Internet security thanks to cDc, I became a bit cynical. They are not forgiven...

Oh, I got it. You're not even going to shut up and let it lay there.
I cook my own breakfast. Not in a facility. So wiggle your way out of it, but you're a typical Lefty, not disrespectful, but dismissive, superior, and unassailable.
You might be all that, but cheap shots don't look good on you. So blame me for not getting the joke. Yoi weren't trying to be funny, you were just being you.
Oh yeah, those ad hominem insults settle the issue. You've won.
I wouldn't know. I genuinely do not read Truth Social. I just don't. I also don't read Threads. It turns out I'm not a mind-numbed robot after all. But most everybody on
Why would your think I would not vaccinate my children against measles? Are you so blinded by hate that you don't even bother to ask? Yes, you are.
Having suffered the mRNA vaccine I'm no longer blindly trusting Moderna for one.
And, while we're at it, you're proposing that your judgment be substituted for the parent's. You have objective proof that yours is more correct of course. But at least you believe it's objective proof. So you sleep at night just fine, and many a parent will sleep at night just fine, because they believe just like you believe. They just believe something different. And much of what you spelled as truth is just your religion and not mine.
This guy either socially engineered his way through a line, analyzed a weakness in the line, or time-traveled from the '90's not realizing we've set up an incompetent but totalizing police-state control grid to interpose every tiny aspect of our lives.
To be fair, "pay on board" is less applicable to airplanes than trains because seatbelts are important in turbulence.
That said, the lack of capacity is widely acknowledged to be a feature of wildly incompetent management.
We just heard they've started a new project to rewrite the air traffic control system for the umpteenth time (and billions and billions later) to hopefully allow for more frequent landings and departures. I fear it won't be specified for AI-assist takeoffs and landings and will be obsolete before it's done.
Better make some more 8" floppies.
"Alex Jones and Charlie Kirk..."
It's not that Alex Jones was 'cancelled', he was sued, lost, and had a $1.4 Billion judgement levied against him. With 'support' like that I would rather be left alone.
Charlie Kirk, as you know, was murdered not because of what he said, but because he was winning the argument, over and over. Those against his arguments, they do not take losing well. They react violently when all other alternatives fail.
"This kind of thing isn't something you hear of in other parts of the world"
You may not hear it often, but in the parts of the world in the midst of civil war and/or revolution you most certainly do. And the US is in the midst of a revolution, real. You haven't recognized this? Well, you are not at all alone. Your mistake does not disprove it.
Esther 3:2-6, vv8-11, 7:4, 8:11.
The point? Self-defense. A God-given right, recognized, not granted, in the US Constitution. And recognized for all.
Defense against one crazy person knocking on your door? Admittedly, being caught by surprise is difficult.
Defense against one crazy family member? No different.
And, recall, recently we have witnessed a double murder with a knife. It's not guns. It's the riddle of steel.
Thoughts and prayers for me are that all men (and women) come to know the one true God, and His love, and love one another.
Variables don't; constants aren't.
