This happens in the developing world on occasion, with the assumption is that insurance pays out to the family. I’m 99% sure doing the deed yourself means it doesn’t pay out at all. Tragic all the way down.

If you look at the insanity of the denial, it’s all over the map. Favorite I saw was that Epstein hated Trump, so none of this was possible, and being banned from Cheney’s funeral was a badge of honor.
…as if the money part didn’t work in anywhere. As if Bannon and Epstein weren’t literally all over the emails, and Trump didn’t reach out and try and lure him back in after he won in 2016.

The best show that never got the CGI or plot development or really much else it deserved beyond trying to get Jennifer Sky and Gina Torres something to lure Xena fans away as they started to sunset that series.
TIL that Gina Torres sings the theme. Never knew that, and I love it so much.

Look at the uBO trackers on each site and you’ll br surprised how often Google comes up.
- Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 3 days ago:
Not your ISP. Google likely is the one following that. If you have uBlock Origin installed, click on the badge on any site and you’ll see which trackers there are. For Lemmy, it’s just going to list other lemmy instances. When you’re on that forbidden site, see if they have any Google analytics trackers - those are what will fingerprint you.
Then go to amiunique.org or hidemytracks.eff.org and see what information you’re giving up. Vanilla FF gives up fonts, sound card info, and graphics info, which are enough to pin you to specific hardware. If your machine isn’t extremely common, then Google knows it’s you.
Why not download the Mullvad browser? It’s free, and you’re paying for its development if you’re paying for the VPN.
- Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 3 days ago:
Yeah, there’s also the hidemytracks.eff.org and amiunique.org and abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/index.html which is my favorite

Most fingerprint resistant browsers set the time zone to UTC. Extensions should be limited to uBO as the extensions add to the fingerprint more than they hide you.
- Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 4 days ago:
Some, but only if you’re using a very common device (i.e. Dell Latitude) with Windows. Browser fingerprinting gives up hardware specs, so hiding by blending in only works when your hardware is hard to pin down.
Use a browser that hides hardware specs, like Mullvad or Libreworlf. Even Brave is ok.
- Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 4 days ago:
Please understand that browser extensions make you more easy to track. I used to be under the same assumption, but uBO is as far as you should go. fingerprints include your extensions.

Not at all.
Do anything where you log in under one location with vanilla FF. Do everything else with 2 or more browsers under 20 other locations.

It’s always kind of funny when the Technology folks wade into well-researched and well-worn Privacy territory.
Do you want to not wave a giant flag of your activity to Google, Meta, MS, and your ISP when you do literally anything online? Either use a VPN and Mullvad (or Librewolf, but YMMV) browser, OR a VPN and Tor OR Tor with an https bridge if paying for a VPN will make you a target (Tor bridges are not for casuals, save them for those in genuine need).
VPN locations need to be changed. Frequently. Router level VPN at home becomes your “This is me” location, then make use of VPNs on each device when you want an extra layer of obfuscation.
There’s not a lot of middle ground at this point, and it’s not difficult.

Sure - but I’m also still wondering what the consensus is on Frank-N-Furter. Hero? Antihero? Villain? When I search online, I get all 3
- Comment on Had to look this up 4 days ago:
Wait…is Dr. Frank-N-Furter a villain? I always thought he was the hero and Riff-Raff was the villain.

No they don’t. They don’t wonder about anything at all, let alone what women think.

Never been banned. Their stupid “contributor quality score” makes it impossible to cycle through accounts once a year and not get shadow banned by the site itself.

They were also late because they didn’t buy enough credits for their clock app to wake them up in time to get to work.

Second comment just to say that Ghislane Maxwell had a horse named Bubba.
Especially in 2018 when the “Russia Dossier” was all over the place, this is definitely pure sarcastic bullshitting, top to bottom.
- Comment on Scandal 1 week ago:
Completely agree with this. Hilarious, sure, but certainly not literally accurate. With that exchange and when the emails were sent, I would sooner believe it’s all sarcastic BS just getting thrown around.

- Comment on Why many in Gen Z are ditching college for training in skilled trades 1 week ago:
No one calls Gen Z the “toolbelt generation.”
Boomers are dying and Gen X and Millennials were told that college was the only option, so there’s a massive generational gap in most trades.

Hey, it’s a used year! You’re going to have issues. Save a bit and just expect it. But remember that used years are reliable and parts easy to find.
But if you get the First Gen 2026, it’s untested! If you have issues, who are you going to ask? The guys on the 2026Repairs Forums? What if there’s a recall and you have to get a rental 2020 in the mean time?

The largest demographic group receiving SNAP benefits is white people, at 37%, so (tries to do math like a racist) 63% assorted brown people!
But what really sells it to the 37% of white people in mostly red states with poor public education are things like this article about some super genius trolling where the first 3 groups alone add up to like 124%. I expect that the 17% of people who do not report ethnic demographics are largely white in the first place, and have been gaslit for so long that they won’t report out of fear of being some sort of “race traitor” or some other stupid racist BS thing that idiots do.
