it takes Peter a good long while to learn that lesson

That’s called a Character Arc. He’s a kid in the beginning.

That’s just Frank Miller’s Batman.

Lol, I got shouted at for just recognizing Michael Moore. Besides, I’ve been masking so long, I’ve been invited to represent my county in state ag issues and I’ve been tilting things to recognise Climate Change.

No, it means I’m lying to them. If I say I don’t agree with their politics, I’ll get an ear full. If I lie and say I don’t follow politics, I can diplomatically end that discussion branch. Grow up liberal in a conservative family and you’ll get it. I’m not convincing these geezers of anything and I don’t want to waste my social energy trying.

Yeah, that’s the real story. They’re dragging out museum pieces. People who have been anticipating the T34 showing up are getting real excited.

oh, I know people don’t care.

That’s probably why I never got a Signal account. Normally, I would point to FireChat, but that was discontinued. Looks like Mesh.im is a replacement? I’ll have to look more into it. Encrypted, p2p, and mesh connections via LAN means it can’t be shutdown if the internet gets restricted during protests.

are you going to get everybody you meet to learn PGP.

When the alternative is to risk getting sent to the front line as a bullet sponge, yeah. Then again, any lgbt people practicing proper infosec isn’t going to be visible to surveys like this.

Sound simpler to just use Signal or an encrypted email.

That only works to avoid creeps online. A government would have the resources to track down the paper trail of who bought the burner.

Telegram requires a phone number. That’s a none starter for me. There’s a huge number of services that don’t. This might as well be a honey pot for trapping more lgbt people. Russia has used dating services before in their crackdowns.

I’d be comfortable with allowing them to do what they want.

They want more guns and bullets. I wonder why?

Or Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine. Your “compromise” is letting the mugger only take half of your wallet.

Giving concessions to Nazi Germany is how the world let WWII happen in the first place. Russia has been allowed to fuck around for far too much. They should have been stopped when they invaded Georgia. Letting them have parts of Ukraine will only give them time to regroup and possibly invade either Ukraine again or some other nation.

before I was comfortable with Crimea or other parts of Eastern Ukraine joining Russia.

Are you currently in Crimea? Other parts of Ukraine? Is this really your call?

Funny. I have a pretty good idea of what you think imperialism is.

Someone who supports Imperialism when America/“the West” isn’t doing it. Really, that’s all it boils down to.

They just “encourage” you to do it and if you get bullied for remaining seated, the school will ignore the bullies even more than usual.

Or the lavish living conditions of a Ukraine POW cell.

Yes. I hate consumerism and our corporate overlords. I hate any World Super Power™, real or imaginary.

It’s a team sport, but we’re all the disposable pawns.

Hmm. I wonder why the media is more heavily reporting one type of vandalism over another?

“People say he fried his brain one day from going into a drug induced coma. Course, couldn’t have been too smart to do that in the first place”.
