I’m a lefty to the bone and have been since I was a kid. I’ve spent most of my life in the south and have met some amazing redneck folks that don’t fit into this mold.

Basically, don’t put your potential working class allies into a box.

Lmao that is wild. I’ve tried a couple others and Mullvad has been my favorite so far.

My identity comment was tied to Mullvad itself. They don’t require any identifying information when signing up. For the kind of protection you’re talking about, yeah you’re gonna have to go further than just a VPN. Their fingerprinting capabilities are ridiculous.

I signed up for Mullvad and it’s worth it. Super cheap and no data tied to you.

This has been going since 2015. Ionov’s group worked with 2 other separatist groups back then too. One from Texas and another from California. It’s been a wild ride to follow, especially when coupled with this story.

These groups need to recognize that:

  1. Russia doesn’t give a shit about what these groups believe in; they’re using them as influence while flashing money at them
  2. The US has all of these groups under a magnifying glass at all times and has for years. I know firsthand because I was on a police watchlist for working with one
  3. I think part of why the US is going hard against Uhuru is because they’ve funded and run a local candidate for a few years now in the city of St. Petersburg Florida. So they see that as directly trying to influence elections (despite their candidate unsurprisingly getting barely any votes in a very liberal city)

It’s going to be a fun slippery slope watching the US try to fight against something it regularly does on every single continent.

The area I’m in has skyrocketed and has some of the highest rent I’ve ever seen in my life (saw $5400/m for renting part of a house.) The folks moving here are mostly remote workers from what I can gather, so they basically make it impossible for other residents to afford rent. I’ve talked to waitstaff here that say they can’t even live in the town they work in.

I live in the southern US where people keep moving to. I don’t know why they’re attracted to this place. My partner and I both hate it and have plans to move to the northeast where it’s a little more remote and there are less assholes per square mile.

I have unlimited and I’ve seen a few people take 2 weeks off consecutively. So it seems like the company is pretty flexible and doesn’t put artificial limitations on it. That said, I’m pretty sure even a month off wouldn’t fix the damage that’s been done to my brain from years stacked upon years of redlining it to write code and solve problems. I find as I get older I need more time off to truly disconnect.

A lot of fun things listed, but they aren’t going to mean anything to any of us when we’re collectively burned out from working endlessly and incapable of retirement… thanks to America’s capitalists.

“We’ll keep the genocide going but change our public language to make it sound like a ceasefire is on the table.”

Such a great game. I’m actually being really indecisive about games to play, and now I want to play that.

A meme that shows an image of Jordan Peterson on the left, and Henry Rollins on the right. The title at the top reads:

Why listen to glorified motivational speaker Jordan Peterson when you can just listen to Henry Rollins

The left column below Peterson reads:

  • Thinks there is a "crisis in masculinity"
  • Insists that the "hero's journey" is a long, strenuous process
  • Never collaborated with Tool
  • Zero scene cred
  • Writes self-help books

The right column below Rollins reads:

  • Never belittles or puts you down for your inner turmoil
  • "Hero time starts. Right. Now."
  • Provided a visceral monologue on Tool's debut album
  • Well respected in the music scene
  • Writes about his travels and interacting with foreign cultures
