  Devils advocate: propublica was warning for a few years that the navy wasn’t putting enough into maintenance/training, vs contracts for shiny new boats.

  And they can’t “fix it” without breaking it.

  As of May 3, citizens back to Russia and Belarus must have documented a valid reason for additional trips within the three month timeframe. Exceptions also apply for employees engaged in international freight and passenger transport.

  That’s so bold of you to assume they’re making the high school bullies do their own paperwork.

  We couldn’t even get them to fill out a single page card for the national crime database.

  Reminds me of a billionaire who went “woke” because he did the research and realized it’s far far far more effective to just start building farms around his home city then building a fancy bunker for him to die in. Actually building public infrastructure with redundancy.

  Also society isn’t going to collapse overnight.

  That’s the other thing. Society is more likely not to collapse, but just adapt. Half your country could be wiped out by a nuke. If the capitol was taken out then you’re just entering government less warzone like Darfur. They still have trade etc in those regions. Eventually surviving external government exert influence and prop up their preferred government.

  Or the capitol survives, the housing market crashes, everybody becomes poor, disgruntled young guys force through a vote for a strong daddy to lead them through this tough time.

  The movie “the road” is horrible but unlikely. The Last of Us military city states is more probable. Or just reading a history book.

  My problem with preppers is the over estimating on whether they’ll be in a position that these skills will have any effect, and the under valuing on steps we could just take to not have this future in the first place.

  Like, you’ll need a farm right off the bat, or your first steps in any guider are how to violently take somebody else’s land. Followed by step two, keeping that land from other humans who don’t want to die.

  Instead of prepping, become nomadic scroungers or live in a fricking farming commune in the first place. Basically descend a couple levels of societal development and you’ll already be self sufficient and ready. Like the Amish.

  Or, you know, voting for politicians who listen to scientists.

  Anything beyond being self sufficient for a month is overkill in my opinion.

  Windows is idiot proof

  Could we at least add more idiot support to system crashes?

  Windows has a QR code for you to scan, you can make a personalized recovery drive so that it restores your computer, ctrl alt delete gives you options to click on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Swiss officials not following EU use of burner phones for US travel⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An onion article saying JFK was taken out by the military industrial complex. And somebody accused a gay guy of having an alias which matched a name in the Warren commission report. Coincidentally the gay dude travelled for business and at the time the CIA interviewed traveling business people for info on their travels as part of data collection. So obviously a CIA agent.

  Last of all, they did not need to fucking shoot him in public, they already had a fuck ton of classified techniques trying to take out the Cuban president.

  youtu.be/unPpGww2IBc - We think the CIA killed JFK because of Satire and Homophobia

  What precisely can be stolen from those officials in the first place? Oh no, you’ve discovered our large banking system with rich people money!

  Noob. Gotta have somebody host the mumble server 24/7. Persistent private chat with images amongst your buddies.

  And absolutely destroyed by discords reaction gifs and emojis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord's face scanning age checks 'start of a bigger shift'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well fuck me if history/persistence isn’t really a problem in an age when we were being warned the government was spying on everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord's face scanning age checks 'start of a bigger shift'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ? Mumble is text chat also.
