forgetfulusr··on What Did the U.S. Get for $2T in Afghanistan?
Who would feed the gunsellers then? I think they would very much like to keep the lights on, WaaS anyone?
forgetfulusr··on How to play with people who are better than you
Have you tried BR(battle royale) games? PUBG gets my heart racing too much. I also like that it mixes you in with both pros and amateurs. Not knowing the skill level of the player you are exchanging shots with keeps everyone on their A game.
forgetfulusr··on Hippie Inc: how the counterculture went corporate
What was the deal with those roach clips? I always felt a joint needs a small filter, which I would roll up from harder paper(takes 10 sec). Was it just a Cheech and Chong prop or did hippies really carry those around?
forgetfulusr··on Firefox browser will block the IAB's DigiTrust universal ID
I wished I could believe that I won't be tracked or I won't see ads if I paid. That is a myth that is easily busted. These guys raced to get big and now really have no clue how to be a tech company. The only innovations I've seen in the past ten years is how to make ads more annoying. Sorry this rant is not directed at you.
forgetfulusr··on The violence paradox: Is violence actually declining?
This sounds like FUD, and the more people believe it the closer it comes to being realized. It has been increasing lately. Some great times to push for new rules/censorship for the internet in the name of safety I assume.
forgetfulusr··on Video piracy was hardly a crime in 1982
I can confirm, I still have a DivX DVD player although I think I smoked around it a little too much, messed up the laser. I guess it is popular to bash on the place DMCA comes from, although the US has people from everywhere, so if some other place has good circumvention, it will reach it(US) sooner or later.
forgetfulusr··on TikTok hits 1.5B downloads, outperforming Instagram
Okay, but won't you be the other side of the '50 cent' this way? It seems as if even a regular Chinese netizen will be seen as a shill/troll by speaking what they have heard just as Joe from the West copy pasting the same embarassing events over and over. It blocks off honest communication on public forums.
forgetfulusr··on Sweden Drops Julian Assange Rape Investigation
Thank you Julian for confirming my long held beliefs of the atrocities the US government continues to do on our world. I'm sorry that we are not as strong as you but your actions have breathed hope. Hope that there still are breathing humans with their heads together,fighting for a better world. You have convinced at least this soul to be a shittier brick. I apologize for my comfy cowardness. You deserve better citizens alongside you. By the looks of things, they are likely to be behind bars as well. Good luck sir.
forgetfulusr··on U.S. opens a national security review of TikTok’s acquisition of Musical.ly
Aren't those mainly hidden behind gag orders though? Isn't that enough proof? We can't even tell what was censored presumably for our safety.
