But what if everyone started dancing all the sudden? 🤔
- Comment on Massistant - new tool used by Chinese government to spy on seized phones 6 hours ago:
I said “Don’t go to authoritarian countries” not “Don’t go to any country that conducts mass surveillance”. Since every country does mass surveillance these days, the only practical thing to do is avoid those that punish you for you speech, hence China, Russia, USA (a lot more places on the list, but these are the big 3 No-Go Zones)

The spying aspect definitely did happen, but you used to be able to have a meme making fun of the US president and have no issues entering, but now they have new orders from their tyrant in chief to arrest people for making a harmless joke. (Search: “Bald JD Vance Meme Denied Entry”)
- Comment on Massistant - new tool used by Chinese government to spy on seized phones 8 hours ago:
Do they even need this tool? I mean, last I checked, there is no protection against self incrimination in China, so they could just jail you for refusing to unlock. People in China just complies whenever police ask to unlock their phone.
- Comment on Massistant - new tool used by Chinese government to spy on seized phones 8 hours ago:
Or maybe don’t go to authoritarian countries like China, Russia, and now the USA.

Customs of the country can inspect any international packages.

Tell them you’re actually a 13 billion year old fire squid in a human skinsuit.
- Comment on Who's the most ridiculed POTUS of history? 1 day ago:
My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw russia forever. We begin bombing in 5 minutes.
- Comment on We are living in the Pre-"Drone 9/11" era. 2 days ago:
3000 killed and $1T property damage/rescue expenses in a day doesn’t need to be matched by drones to make an impact. A single, Luigi style, untraceable, car or house impact, would make the oligarchy apoplectic. Though car bombs and hand grenades/molotovs have existed for a long time.
Not sure why you are comparing 9/11, a terrorist attack that targeted innocent civillians, to the shooting of one evil CEO which is a surgical strike that have resulted in zero innocents dead.
- Comment on Why doesn't the Trump administration simply edit the Epstein files and release them? 2 days ago:
Because if republicans release only the democrats on the list, the Democrats will release the full unredacted copy as a form a Mutually Assured Destruction.
Surely the Dems would have been smart enough to keep a copy themselves during the Biden Administration.

- Comment on People often say "Don't talk to the police", but what if a friend, neighbor, or a loved one gets kidnapped and you want to help the victim? 3 days ago:
Yea but like how do you know what the cops are thinking. They could assume its a “self-report” if they can’t find any suspects. I watched a documentary where the boyfriend was immediately their #1 suspect, but thankfully they later found evidence that someone else did it, and that he wasn’t involved with his girlfriend’s disappearance. That could’ve turn out poorly if the cops were being dicks.

- Comment on im frend :( 3 days ago:
POV: When you’re the socially awkward kid in school during the mid/late-2010s and you don’t have a smartphone to be in group chats, so nobody wanna talk to you since they view you as “the loser who doesn’t even have a phone”

Lol I guessed what it was before clicking on it, that video never gets old, just like the dissidents that gets killed.
- Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer 3 days ago:
“Feds”
checks Wikipedia page for Spain
Government: “Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy”
🧐
(Sorry for nitpicking lol 😅)
But serious tho:
I kinda hate these weird associations. Its like arresting people who wear glasses because intellectual rebels wear glasses? (Pol Pot?)
Like can’t someone just use a phone in peace? Most Pixel users don’t even use Graphene OS.
Hey you know what, drug dealers drink water. Lets arrest people who drink water!
- Comment on YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead 3 days ago:
Lol haven’t used the app for like at least 7 years? Maybe even 10 years. Haven’t used the app as soon as I learned what an adblocker is, using uBlock Origin on Firefox.
I don’t “subscribe” to anyone either, I just keep a list of everyone who I wanna watch and check everyone channel like once every 3 days. Takes like 3 minutes to go through the list of like around 20 channels. No accounts, all done over a no-log VPN to a privacy-friendly country.

The same reason you never hear from what happens inside abusive households until someone from within speaks up (aka: a “defector”)

- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 6 days ago:
ProtonVPN is free, funded by paid users, but you can’t torrent on free servers and its gonna make your internet slower (I mean obviously they aint gonna give you the fast servers for free).

Its for censorship resistance, but, in order for the mesh network to be able to identify each other’s device and initiate connections, by design it transmits your bluetooth MAC address to all your contacts, even those added via the internet.

Wear gloves, rinse the fingerprints off the money, wait for it to dry, then use it to buy stuff
