Seeing as we are on .world and the last comment I made featuring the Bear Jew with a Louisville slugger as an example of how to properly treat a fascist got deleted by a mod…
Maybe I can get away with saying ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’.
You’d have better odds of living to see Moshiach on earth.
Yes.
Literally Hitler.
‘My New Order’, a collection of Hitler’s speeches up through 1939.
Trump kept it in his bedside table in the 80s and 90s, according to his then wife.
Did people not know about this or forget this?
Trump literally routinely read Hitler’s speeches before he went to bed for years, then got very defensive when asked about it.
Lefties who were politically active during Trump’s 2015 campaign were… fairly concerned about this, and basically everyone to the right of them just screamed ‘You’re just calling him a fascist because everything you don’t like is fascist’ at us.
Did this whole thing seriously get memory holed this hard that you genuinely didn’t know this?
Or are you just younger and/or weren’t so politically involved a decade ago?
Arguably necrophilia but uh… sure?
Just for the historical record, here’s Mussolini’s last public appearance:
It always sucks to have to cut off or go no contact/ghost absurd family members… but after a long pattern of concerning, manipulative and/or abusive behavior… that’d you really only put up with because they’re family… after a while, that reason/excuse becomes worthless.
Everything Mel Brooks.
Airplane!
The Producers
Blazing Saddles… etc.
So many of his movies have such memorable lines and jokes that still hold up today.
Reading the main post and other comments you’ve made giving more context, IMO you are correct, your aunt is a narcissistic sociopath.
No problem!
Wonderful username btw, haha.
Not a VPN, but you may also want to look into I2P.
https://proprivacy.com/privacy-service/guides/i2p-guide

Basically, a p2p protocol for the entire internet.
Its considerably more complicated to set up than most modern VPNs, where nowaday’s its usually as simple as install an app with a GUI, verify some settings and you’re good to go, and i2p is also quite slow…
… but its totally free, and you can torrent over it, and as far as I know, if you’ve set it up properly, it is basically undetectable by ISPs, due to how it uses ‘garlic’ routing: basically, a whole bunch of users net requests are encrypted, anonymized, and then smashed into a big packet… so an ISP would have to untangle all of that for every packet, and afaik, none of them have figured out how.
I2P would obviously be horrible for watching streaming content though, snail speed.
In case people missed or are unaware of the context:

https://www.howtogeek.com/united-states-doj-google-android-chrome-split/
The DoJ recently (before Trump got elected) won an anti-trust lawsuit against Google, and the lawsuit is currently in the stage of haggling over the extent of the penalty actions taken against Google as a result.
One of the things the DoJ is pushing for is breaking off not only Chrome but also Android from Google to just leave Google with its search stuff.
This is like splitting up Bell from decades ago.
What Google is doing right now is strategic positioning to be able to argue that Android can’t be split off from Google without causing them too much pain, and by making Android more and more dependent on, and nonfunctional without being under the same corporate ownership.
This is a powerplay to try to not be broken up so hard by the anti-trust lawsuit they already lost.
https://wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Google_LLC_(2020)
The actual penalty ruling is expected to come down by August 2025… unless the Trump admin fucks with it, somehow they… haven’t seemed to yet notice or care that this lawsuit is going on, despite Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, having a literal front row seat at Trump’s inauguration.
Hey now, they also somewhat resemble a typical diagram of a vagina, utuerus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Yep.
Its ‘federated’ as long as you ignore a single massive chokepoint controlled by one company that allows them to block/ban/censor users of any part of the system.
So functionally, their ‘federation’ system is actually just a false marketing/propoganda campaign that may also result in crowd sourcing some server costs.
It’s psuedo-federation, along the lines of a psuedo-historian or psuedo-scientist: They pretend to be something they are not, in such a way that makes them seem trustworthy when they are in fact not.
I would add to try regularly massaging the area and alternating between cold paks and hot paks … that might help a bit if its not a serious problem as outlined above.
If doing that for a few days yields little to no improvement… or is extremely painful… go to a doctor.
Also, probably just take your mattress off the frame, put it on the ground, roll up blankets or use pillows or something to extend the effective length of the matress, until you can get a larger mattress and different frame that doesn’t allow for this problem to occur.
Not a hacksaw, but I’ve dug fairly large glass shards and other sharp splinters out of my foot and sterilized and bandaged/stiched it up on my own, as opposed to going to doctor who would charge quite a lot… I’ve done that a good number of times.
None of them went deep enough to hit a major nerve or blood vessel, I’d probably have to go to an urgent care/hospital at that point.
Exactly.
Trump is what everyone who voted for him aspires to be.
A giant, petulant manbaby that’s ‘allowed’ to bully people.
I am honestly surprised so many other Americans did not realize that so many of their fellow countrymen are vindictive, incompetent little shitheels who get off on bullying people.
sigh
This has also been my experience with non profit c suite.
I used to be co-lead of the data department for a non profit that dealt with PII… including medical data… spent a lot of time making sure we were doing things right.
… And then one day, one of the board members asked me to implement blockchain security on our postgres databases, in an in-person meeting.
I buried my head in my hands, looked uo, and told her “No, the blockchain is insanely insecure, its easily de-obfuscated… and it would make our systems run somewhere between 10,000 and 100,000 times more slowly… if its even possible to implement postgres running through or on … some kind of blockchain.”
She did a fake corpo smile and ‘politely’ ended the meeting.
… I wanted to strangle her to death.

Kathy Lueders used to be a high up at NASA.
She personally chose to make Starship HLS variant be the thing that delivers Artemis astronauts to the lunar surface.
She also wildly misrepresented SpaceX’s capabilities and rigged the ‘request for proposal’ process heavily in favor of SpaceX a few years later.

It’s basically a comedic parody of the kind of regulatory capture process, the incestuous relationship of people jumping between the private and government sides of a public/private partnership… and its all right in the open, actually real.
This kind of shit is the actual deep state, the actual unelected, quid pro quo, ‘subject matter expert’ asshats that cause waste fraud and abuse.
That is fucking amazing.
Please tell me this ‘cybersecurity manager’ was… fired, or drawn and quartered, or something.
No, you’re misreading this.
Trump is comparing Hamas guards holding hostages to Nazi guards holding prisoners, and he is suggesting that Nazis prison guards acted with love and kindness when a prisoner was in a very dire state.
The he switches to ‘no, the Hamas guards slapped their hostages’… implying they were worse than Nazi death/slave camp guards.
