There is definitely an amount of valid secrecy in positions of power, half of politics would collapse if they couldnt corroborate their eggs in order in their coop. With regards to authority that defines what should be publicly auditable, it’s rather a chicken and egg situation.

Before I hatch any more puns, generally politician’s privacy at work, or anything related to their position << civilian privacy should be definitely the case. I do like the idea.

Driving the Untermensch metaphor pretty hard here I see.

How can we be sure?

I can’t tell… are people unironically upvoting this?

SecureErase would overwrite the whole drive (potentially multiple times). So if the ssd was close to dead, it might have just triggered it.

“Has” is a bit strong at the start of the war (2014). The revolution of dignity built actual sovereignty by slowly ousting the puppeteers. At the start of the major conflict (2022), the Ukrainian identity was only a fraction of how strong it is now.

In the end, there is perhaps some conspirational truth to what he said. Heavy hints that Russia invaded exactly after Maidan (2014), “separatists super unhappy with less ties with Russia and revolted too”, in the same week, is the weakest shit I have ever seen. Happy for 25 years, suddenly revolted. And Russia brought a whole occupational army to help the poor peacefully seceding citizens. Doesnt take a genius to see it’s just an already planned out show of force, “You don’t suckle on great big Russia’s teet, so we can slowly eat you? Then I will take your lands”

I think the healthy approach is to let it play out, and stop “meddling” as usual with the “free” market. Everybody’s observing free market karma at play. Let it happen, as much as it will. All those intel mbas deserve it completely.

So far AMD has a good history of not being evil.

The aggression is warranted because you contested his facts without any evidence on your part, especially on a likely emotionally loaded situation. Just abstract “what if not”. Any debate would laugh you out of the room.

Not only is any sane person declaring that it’s fact that the current conflict is unprovoked and military expansion, but it’s also clearly labelled so in ICJ, which is, as much as you would want to believe otherwise, impartial as possible and extremely reserved to truly proven guilty verdicts.

Making more walled gardens would probably only polarize society more, not help it. But the emotion is understandable.

Refer to other comment. They don’t see “VPN traffic”, they see encrypted tunnels between two ports to some offshore vps. At best, they see a header saying “openvpn”. The article is alluding to the country effectively wanting to crack down on encrypted tunnels (because you cannot discriminate VPNs from them). At best, maybe they’re just christofascist idiots.

Fair enough

if the LGBTQ+ games were not sexual in nature (why does it not say?), then that is quite damning and I approve of this conspiracy theory.

Since fiat currencies are not connected to gold… no problem?

Actually, it’s enough for building the Pentagon for its original budget (43million in 1941) adjusted to inflation: 767 million. Though building materials and labour are starkly cheaper now, so maybe 2 or 3 Pentagons

Essentially, cancelling public holidays will in short term add some slave labourto the company, which in turn maybe add more profits, more b2b economical activity, and if France has any decent corporate tax and not too many loopholes, some money will go into budget to be allocated to usual overspending that got you into this place, and none to repay debts.

Tldr: you’re being screwed over, go protest, or ask for raises when this actually occurs.

Essentially, it’s “proof by existential intimidation” :D

I am confused. Is he LLM? Is you LLM? Is everybody just a braindead human zombie that can be approximated by LLM?? Is internet dead even in Lemmy?

It’s a tabloid-quality “study”, but if you shuck away all the words she uses, and look at the numbers which are more easily attributed to actual gold-digging

There are five million members on SeekingArrangement. Overall, the site has 3.8 million Sugar Babies, and 12% are male: 460,000. Moreover, this is an 84% jump in male Sugar Baby membership from the start of 2014.

Kind of 10 vs 1

Millennial men are also more likely to want to have a prenuptial agreement than males of other generations (32% vs. 25% of Gen X males and 17% of Boomer males) perhaps because they are more likely to be viewing marriage as a financial/contractual arrangement as much as a romantic partnership.

And this is just pure farce. Prenuptial agreements are for protecting from gold-diggers and taking the money away from having to do anything with the marriage. i.e. The opposite. Focusing on romance (if it exists).

To clarify, everybody knows marriage is a financial arrangement. You would have to be an intense fool to ignore that. Whether you do something to protect yourself against unbalanced finances is just a question of your perception of society.

You could probably say I am picking out pieces. And I am. But if you just look at the numbers and ignore the farce of the author, I think you can make more truthful conclusions. (The whole piece reads to me like purposeful twisted propaganda, starting from the title. Or, well, just tabloid-quality journalism)

Idk man, I think you neither looked at the statistics, nor lived that long on this world. While true, it is extreme to only have one side of the coin, the other side is just not as likely by statistics…

In the end… it’s a game? I mean, I guess I grew up to live with rifles and walk with a switchblade while going to the store. And expect all women to be scantily clad mages walking with staves and high heels.

Dont doomsay so much, there’s a completely reasonable balance… that we are exceptionally far away from, because society is a kangaroo court on sale for the highest bidder.
