We don't need no stinking bank. Not for 10 XMR payment, not for 10 BTC payment. So WTF?

They obviously have no idea what a VPN is or how easy it is to set up your own.

Heaven help us all!

This is very seriously overhyped. AI is NOT replacing all these software offerings. Those companies that tried to replace their workers and these products with AI alone are suffering including big ones that were part of the hype like Salesforce.

Frankly I think the economy worldwide is in serious trouble and AI is one of the favored excuses of the moment to "explain" it. Those of us that have watched financial talking heads explain whatever for years know how often they read from the same press release to make a semi-plausible to the majority conditioned by similar stories "explanation" while really explaining nothing at all.

Agree but act on what you personally believe is the right thing to do. Not what government says. Not what your friends say. Not what whichever tribe you generally want to be part of says. This is the WAY.

They are not capable of this "like". Why the anthropomorphizing?

There are hundreds of millions of gun owners. Clearly 99.999% of them do no do mass shootings.

You don't know what you are talking about. Gender is NOT a totally dimorphism dichotomy like you are suggesting. Some of us know that in our own lives and from the beginning. Here you blatantly deny our reality, all our experience, all the knowledge of MDs, shrinks, care givers for over 80 years of our treatment in the West and the experience of trans people documented throughout history.

You are denying the millions that personally and through their caregivers have experienced that living true to their wired in gender different from what was assigned to birth socially and through medical changes has made a HUGE difference in quality of life.

This is an act of reality denying aggression.

I don't remember tantric sex being about hating doing it.

Hey, protect the furries. 😉

Further than that. J Edgar Hoover pretty much forced the FBI into existence without all the dirt he had on the rich and powerful in politics and out.

I am in that demographic age wise. But I built my own first computer in the 70s. All my computers run linux (well one Mac when I need that world for some reason). My phone is running grapheneos. I turn it off when I don't need it or want to be interrupted instead of having it track me 24/7 just on the off chance someone might call in the middle of the night. I give a shit about privacy and am expert in protecting it.
