Am I a hostile dumb piece of shit? Absolutely. Do I not understand consequences and does God weep anytime I open my fat mouth? Absolutely.

What a lead-brained boomer fat piece of shit lol.

I mean…you should also have a plan on what to do when you have the ball, right? Or is every time you catch a football, it’s your first time thinking about what you’re gonna do next?

Perhaps that’s exactly what it would take for some people to snap out of it.

Same. Go out and vote and get ready for violence from the fascist dipshits.

I’m a do-nothin’ lil bitch and I’m smug about it

We get it, Vlad.

The point of GOS isn’t to “encrypt the entire drive” though, the whole point is a secure, private and stable platform that actually works. Their team chose Pixel phones because the hardware makes it possible to make it more secure, as in it has specific things in it that many other phones don’t have.

Adding more supported phones would be great, but it would mean having to support that many more configurations and likely sacrificing the main features and stability as it is not a huge team and afaik they’re all volunteers.

The whole point is security and privacy, adding whatever phone you have in your pocket for support is a) not realistically possible for them or b) would compromise the entire project due to either how many resources they have or due to the actual hardware of that particular phone.

It’s not stupid, it’s a pretty clever group of people working on GOS. It’s not perfect but that’s what it is right now, I get that Google is an evil company but you can always buy second hand and at the end of the day there’s like maybe one less evil phone company among the many so it’s a problem with just about every phone you’re gonna buy.

Most 22lrs are not wax coated, can you stop lying already holy shit man.

You wanna know how I know you don’t actually shoot?

I don’t know man. I hunt and like to have some way of protecting myself in increasingly hostile times here in America. I know I’m not the smartest rocket in the tool box but you’re dismissing a lot of valid reasons for gun ownership and people.

All the libs and lefties I shoot with know about d-lead wipes and proper firearms hyegene and safety.

Commute alone is about triple each way on average. US census has the data published. It makes sense when you consider an average car owner in the US and how big it is and how many people don’t regularly use cars in densely populated major cities.

Between this comment and someone saying that tarantulas are as smart as a smart dog, I sometimes almost forget how completely out of touch with reality a lot of people here are.

I see. So you are advocating that others do something you yourself aren’t willing to do. That’s kind of the problem, you aren’t the only one who “has anything to lose”. Everyone has something to lose and it’s incredibly difficult to do what I think you’re getting at. Yeah most people aren’t doing even the bare fucking minimum but everyone from the outside looking is like “why aren’t they picking up guns and just shooting?”.

Well there’s some very simple and some very complicated reasons for that. Most people aren’t psychopaths or murderers until things are bad enough and they are affected directly and even then people have to get pushed pretty far.

I’m trying man. I vote, I volunteer, I protest, I work my ass off to educate myself and others around me. I’m careful about how I spend my time, attention and money and support people and causes I see as useful. I train, practice and prepare for if and when things get violent. I work with others in my community to make myself and those around me more resilient. I see hateful signs and stickers and I take them down and actively confront hateful dipshits around me.

So what do you suggest I do more? And would you do that yourself?

What’s the out? The religious conservatives in this country are bloodthirsty and violent and will just embrace this accusation.

They’ll see this accusation and go “good, we’re not being barbaric enough! Barbarians are strong and might is right!” That is how these people think.

American here. People from everywhere and anywhere can say whatever they want about the US. If that makes you feel bad, you can log off and not read the comments.

I love a lot of things about this country, I work hard and am actively working towards trying to make the America around me less shitty. But the comments and criticisms on America and the people that live here and who is in power are valid. Don’t like it, fine and you may fuck off and go do something productive.

The people that I’ve unfortunately talked to that either support or don’t condone it do not care that this is “barbaric”. They condone violence, and they want more of it.

You cannot shame or reason with these people. American religious conservatism is a cancer and you cannot reason with or shame with a cancer.

Yeah but that was like over there. This is here. You know?

There is zero chance a spider is as smart as even the most mediocre dog. Stop it.

Tarantula are wildly intelligent. Like, smart dog intelligent.

Yeah I’m gonna go ahead and call bullshit on that bullshit. There is zero chance of that being true.
