And, in Alex’s ending, he marries and impregnates his second cousin and step-sister, Patricia.
How can someone be your second cousin and also your step-sister?

Paul retorted, “Hey Feyd, do you like apples?”
“No, I hate apples.”, Feyd replied.
“Well how about THEM apples!” Paul said, confidently speaking over Feyd’s reply.
“What?” said Feyd, confused.
“What?” said Paul. “Nevermind, it’s from a movie.”
“Oh…” said Feyd. Then, Paul totally stabbed him.

- Comment on Streaming didnt exist in 1970 1 week ago:
A decent “no logs” VPN + thepiratebay.org, or Streamio + realdebrid has solved just about every media issue I’ve had.
Most of the time it’s easier just to open Streamio than search through 8 apps for what I want to watch only to find it gated behind a $65/mo. add on subscription, or not at all.
Mainstream app streaming has gotten worse, and open source streaming has gotten wildly easier.

- Comment on Viral anti-masturbation app exposed sensitive user data 1 week ago:
“Porn addiction,” like “sex addiction,” isn’t recognized by the DSM-5, which classifies mental disorders. While porn-viewing can be compulsive, like other behaviors, research suggests that perceived porn addiction predicted distress over actual porn use itself. Yet, the idea of “porn addiction” persists in the U.S., which lacks comprehensive sex education requirements in many states; only 37 percent of states require sex education to be medically accurate, according to Boston University.
What a perfect example of how sexuality is suppressed, controlled, then monetized in the US, and the harm it causes.

- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 2 weeks ago:
Call me when you have an electable leftist candidate. I would certainly vote for them. Until then, I’d like to get these abject MAGA lunatics out of office at the earliest possible convenience please.
What the hell else are we supposed to do? Do you think America will suddenly elect a third party candidate or nominate a real leftist/socialist/anti-genocide candidate after DECADES of failing to do so? At least the requirement of a lie creates some semblance of accountability. The Republican Party now does it openly and gleefully as a matter of course, at an order of magnitude greater in intensity.
I will take the giant douche over the shit sandwich any day man. We don’t have to eat the giant douche! Using the giant douche is manageable over time, but eat a shit sandwich is non-negotiable, I will not do it.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think Biden or Kamala would have started a war with Iran. And, they would at least offer restraint while meeting prior commitments to Israel even as it pushed genocide in Gaza, instead of wholehearted enthusiastic wanton destruction. And they certainly wouldn’t release an AI video of Gaza turned into some kind of horrific twisted kafkaesque graveyard rivera of the Middle East.
Their ICE detention centers would have a standard of care, face scrutiny when they didn’t, and function more like a part of a real immigration control system instead of concentration camps for protesters and brown people. They wouldn’t arrest American citizens for simply protesting, and they certainly wouldn’t have presided over a DHS that executes citizens in the street.
They wouldn’t hawk cheap merch from the White House or tear down the east wing for a self-serving passion project that will never be built because it’s actually just to embezzle from the taxpayers.
And here is perhaps the most important thing: they would make sense when they spoke, and attempt to inspire the things that make Americans good, instead of raving like senile narcissistic lunatics taking out their man-child shortcomings on the world.
The list of things that a real Democratic administration would NOT do compared to this sham regime of an autocratic wannabe dictator is endless, and by the end of this four years you’ll be begging for a return to the status quo. These people are insane and they are running the most power government with the most powerful military on earth. I’m convinced that the “both sides” crowd are simply conservative operatives vying to push blue votes to a third party, or to discourage voting for Democrats at all. Even if they aren’t, it’s the same effect.
Nobody likes the two party system, but this harmful lie that both parties are the same has got to go. They are not the same. One is better, even if it has support Israel to keep the Jewish vote and win elections. Vote red, third party, or abstain at our shared peril.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 2 weeks ago:
The law does not require photo ID uploads or facial recognition, with users instead simply self-reporting their age, setting AB 1043 apart from similar laws passed in Texas and Utah that require “commercially reasonable” verification methods, such as government-issued ID checks.
What even is the point of this then? To make shitty parents feel better?

- Comment on Why ‘deleted’ doesn’t mean gone: How police recovered Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell footage 5 weeks ago:
Magnetic platter drives still have the highest storage density per dollar and so they are still heavily in use. Theoretically, overwritten data can be recovered from them by analyzing the magnetic fields directly from the platter. However, this is extremely time and money intensive and requires specialized equipment and expertise. Overwriting a partition multiple times severely complicates this process just by performing multiple overwrites.
Realistically, overwriting once with random data is enough, especially if the drive is to be physically destroyed. You can also use a powerful magnet (top end neodymium in direct contact) to scramble the delicate magnetic fields that encode the data on the platter, but at that point you may as well shred the drive anyways.
SSDs are a fundamentally different storage paradigm that make this kind of recovery essentially impossible. Due to the limitations of NAND memory, data can be written to blocks inaccessible except at the hardware level. To make SSDs secure, modern drives usually implement processes (TRIM) that erase blocks marked for deletion. Or, all data written to the drive is encrypted by onboard hardware (SED), and “erasing” the drive simply deletes the encryption key.
- Comment on Why ‘deleted’ doesn’t mean gone: How police recovered Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell footage 5 weeks ago:
From the article:
Nest cameras, by contrast, can send clips to Google’s servers even without a paid subscription. Google offers a small amount of free cloud storage — older models store clips up to five minutes long for three hours; the latest models store 10-second clips for six hours. That means some footage is uploaded and stored, at least temporarily, whether you pay or not.
According to Nick Barreiro, chief forensic analyst with Principle Forensics, deleting footage from the cloud doesn’t necessarily mean it’s immediately gone. “When you delete something from a server, it doesn’t get overwritten immediately — the file system is just told to ignore this data, and this space is now available to be used. But if no new data is written over it, it’s still going to be there, even though you can’t see it.”
This is more or less how local storage works as well. The creator of BleachBit, file cleaning tool made famous for being present on Hillary Clinton’s email servers, has some great insights in their documentation about the methods for destroying data on hard drives. As it turns out, data “deletion” is just a series of operations on your hard disk like any other, and retrieval depends on the methods used - de-indexing, metadata and file structure removal, and overwriting to name a few.
Once, I accidentally formatted the wrong drive in Windows and it ended up being my 20TB platter (oops). I was able to recover 99% of the files on the drive with some free recovery software just because I disconnected and stopped using the drive immediately. The only files lost were large ones partially overwritten by the new blank file system created when I formatted the drive. Windows had only deleted the file system indexing the drive, and all of the file data and metadata was intact, waiting to be randomly overwritten. I had to string together four cheap failing 4TB SATA drives I bought used on Amazon, but it worked.
The point is, if I could do this as an amateur, and storage technology operating on the same principals is in use at enterprise scale, what are the lengths that the likes of the FBI and Google are willing to go to recover old data that has been “deleted”? I’m frankly surprised that Google does not overwrite their discarded data, and it’s probably for reasons like this, beyond the additional processing time it would take. Given their vast resources and storage capacity, it could be some time before “deleted” data is at least partially overwritten, if ever.
If you ever have data that you absolutely need destroyed, overwrite the entire drive with random data more than once, then physically shred the drive completely. And never connect your devices to a cloud storage service. It’s the only way to be sure.
