Note the precision with which his family was murdered: the IOF were able to blow up a single apartment without seriously damaging their neighbors. Keep that image in the back of your mind next time they try to pull an, “oopsie doodle, we accidentally bombed our fifth school this week!”
As somebody who once worked at an ISP: they absolutely do that, and it isn’t illegal. In fact, ISP’s host many of Ookla’s speedtest servers. The less infrastructure your test needs to go through, the better the results will be—there’s nothing faster than a network that’s communicating with itself.
I am sorry. You need help that we cannot give on a message board. You need to find a trusted person you can tell your story to. You should ask them for help.
Good luck.
You seem to be very intentionally dodging the question everybody in this discussion has been asking: Why are you, an adult, being taken care of by a family member?
Aside from very literally answering the question by saying, “Well my sister is taking care of me because Mom is gone,” you haven’t addressed the subtext of that question: why do you need taking care of at all? Do you have some form of condition that requires you to have a caregiver as an adult?
Please make careful note of sentences I have written that end in question marks (“?”)—those answers are important.
I caught my kids to throw light switch raves, but they don’t know the context. It’s spread to their friends, also context-less.
But really, I don’t think anything can top that one email where Compy gets Old Yellered.
I don’t hate Google.
I despise them. I loathe them. Common transitive verbs like hate don’t encompass the depth and breadth of my disdain for Google.
The Guardian used positive adjectives to describe an Iranian leader. Is it bad that my first reaction is: “Oh shit, the SIS must have dirt on this guy.”?
The sheer entitlement in this comment.
Please learn to paste links into archive.ph nobody wants to see your paywall.
The US Navy getting owned by a force that doesn’t have a fucking Navy is extremely funny.
If you want to give a gift that’s simultaneously very thoughtful AND a very shitty gift: buy him a pair of knee pads. Refuse to elaborate on why you bought them.
I wear tankies when it is hot out.
Web 3.0 is, more or less, what timeshares were to our predecessors. Here’s a thing you can theoretically use, but in practice, it’s useless and just cons you out of a ton of cash. And the theoretical thing will never actually exist.
Meanwhile, I am permanently banned from YouTube for uploading a 45 second clip of an episode of Star Wars Rebels as a private video to share with my kids, after we just (legally) watched it and they thought it was cool.
Such a good system.
They did. It’s true.
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Your laptop desires are common, but unprofitable. Even if manufacturers charged twice as much for them, they’d lose out in the long run. Because you wouldn’t need to buy a new one every three years.
It’s the same problem that mobile phones have. Year after year, the number one complaint in consumer surveys is: “I want longer battery life!” It’s been like that for 20 years now. You’re never gonna see it. The battery having a short daily life—as well as a short lifecycle (before you have to bin the device because the battery isn’t replaceable)—is an intentional design choice. It ensures you keep buying The Coolest New Thing every few years. That’s money in the bank, baby!
I made bootleg tapes for my friends. I remember Little Feat and The Band were pretty popular choices.
Today I learned: the “conspiracy theory” about the oil industry killing electric cars in the 90’s was absolutely true.
It seems he wasn’t whistleblowing to expose the war crimes but because he felt troops were beyond overinvestigated!
He was concerned that a couple grunts were going to get scapegoated for what a ton of absolute monsters were doing. Like Ben Roberts-Smith—decorated war hero who walks free today—uh, I need to spoiler/content warning this gorefest, said:
“I shot that removed in the head. [witness name redacted] told me not to kill anyone on the last job. So I pulled out my 9mm, shot the removed in the side of the head, blew his brains out. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
Yeah, that guy gets to walk free and get rich off public speaking engagements. McBride, though! Exposing that evil is malfeasance and needs to be PUNISHED!
You dome some kids for fun, so you can jerk off to it later? Victoria’s Cross material, national hero. Tell the public about it? CRIMINAL.
Unfortunately, if you’re looking for a free download, the game you’re describing doesn’t exist.
The closest I can think of is Postknight 2. There’s unobtrusive (optional) ads, and the full game is playable—start to finish—without spending any money.
It’s very cute, and you can get pets… but it’ll take some dedicated playtime to unlock them for free.
