I’m hearing Neuralink Grok might even have a shark’s brain! Mr Mush, pull the plug!

It’s useful for an imperialist ruling class to keep drug trafficking and drug traffickers around, it’s possible that some are powerful enough that they are effectively on the same level. We’re not so far removed from things like British opium imports to China having a huge effect on quality of life and such. They can disrupt other nations and be used as a pretext for sanctions/occupations/foreign aide to facilitate god knows what.

For domestic operations it’s slush money and can be politicized. Its illegality puts people in situations where they’ll be more likely to do anti-social actions benefiting or on behalf of clandestine operations. It’s also a great cover story for any violence that might erupt between elements of this, for lack of a better term, “deep political network”.

When it was new to me, circa 2006, and mostly just had reuploads of prank shows and atheism v. creationism vids. I remember a dream where I sat down and watched a video on it called “insurance agent PRANK reads his own autopsy” that was just a guy walking into a cubicle in a hotel conference room and sitting down and opening a manila folder and there’s just a photo of the same guy dead on an autopsy table and he just sits there processing the claim. A guy in a grim reaper costume walks in and knocks at his cubicle entrance, he looks and then jumps onto the desk and then over the cubicle and runs off into a seemingly neverending conference room. Then I was in the same conference room looking for a bathroom for what felt like an eternity until I woke up.

James Angleton is historically the most important individual we know of, he managed the Israeli account as head of Counterintelligence at CIA during and after the Kennedy years. His testimony to the Church Committee reads as an admission of Israel’s role and interest in seeing JFK dead. While far from perfect, for Kennedy nuclear proliferation was an obstacle to peace, and an existential threat obviously. Angleton has no less than 2, possibly 3 statues in Israel. None in the US. One overlooks Jerusalem from foothills outside the city.

Basically Zionist got the bomb and they got all the blackmail and plenty of operations outsourced to Mossad, Epstein is very plausibly Mossad, etc.

There are networks and associations between people which supercede a lot of this though, it’s unclear how much going on today is “CIA” versus the organized criminals, “terrorists”, foreign intelligence services, and business interests they’ve flooded with cash, guns, and technology for decades. There’s possibly just enough parties with resources now that we can’t really make much sense of specifics in real time

If not by design, it’s a feature of all NATO ruling class decisions thus far, so the rest of the world has every right to reject it and proceed… The main risk being the potentially thermonuclear tantrum that could precipitate…

I learned Ken po, I don’t know the legality of gouging someone’s eyes out but seems pretty effective… that was how almost every technique I learned seems to end. They had these mannequins with the eyes removed and they’d put soft boiled eggs in them. We never practiced on anybody & the guy who started it had an eye patch over one eye.

How does one setup 2FA on their site even? I enabled it on the trial subscription but it didn’t prompt me to set it up, even during the next login flow.

An article from 2017 on their site says that only the web client is available for 2FA-authenticated users. They actually say every other protocol is disabled.

I’m keeping my MFA secrets in keepass, don’t think about password manager compromise

It’s less progressive, more experimental. They’re testing how concentrated power can become within a ruling class before it implodes. Unless a force like it puts its weight on the scales, we know monarchies will be overthrown. But a system in which the ruling class is diffuse enough that nobody is essential and they’re all individually totally disposable and replaceable is insidious.

Like project manager, scrum master. That kind of shit is what I think of. They exist because technical people and upper management don’t interface well typically, obviously those management jobs are also more or less email jobs but they’re rarer.

Centralia is fun.

Three Mile is undisputed PA Chernobyl for me. My family were friends with another, the mother & daughter of which were from Philly but just happened to be a few miles from Three Mile the day things went down. Both of them developed breast cancer decades apart, with no prior family history

A new stage where it’s just getting more obviously hypocritical - Russiagate set the stage for the Chinese software panic that’s really highlighting it. Before it was just the CIA ruining someone’s life or killing them for investigating elite crimes or resisting, and having backdoors for the data collection in telecom/big tech.

I’ve always figured Telegram was some weird NATO thing, so I figured that arrest isn’t really that special. It was either knowingly or unwittingly a honeypot for a decade, by not really protecting anything while operating with relative impunity from places like Dubai, the Caribbean, and France…

In theory it’s “resistable” if a lot of people were ready to replace their technology platforms with decentralized ones, with webs of trust for identity (cryptography nerd in me has to mention that we can make digital signatures today which do not necessarily authenticate a statement is from a specific person, but it’s at least been made by someone that we all know, however we know each other, and federate from there if needed). Would be nice if this and other things turned into a systemic change because yeah even the meshnets and shit are still censorsable, if there’s not enough resistance.

if it’s purely a scheduling problem then “salaried” positions w/o time sheets/overtime can sometimes work out

can be cheaper to be on parents’ coverage while 26yo and below but I don’t think they’re required legally to add children which is interesting

being a good sport/they’re a good sport

One of the cottages outside Ironforge for me when I was like 14. During a Horde raid of the city, no idea what I was. I think a shaman or something and morphed lmao

I’ve only read capitalist realism but some of Mark Fisher’s other stuff gets into this

I think that’s always been the case, people find ways but eventually PayPal will likely wind up closing them if they notice.

I’ve always considered the federated stuff too clunky. Only data should be federated, presentation should be unified. As with newsgroups.
