The anti-gun propaganda isn’t even clever. It’s completely transparent that it’s not about safety at all.

Xephonian ,

That’s why you should only ask interviewees empirical questions that can identify whether or not they have the requisite knowledge to do the job.

Hol up. ThAt sOuNds LiKe RaCisM!

This ‘encrypt’ everything is such a waste of CPU and energy. Plus “oops, all your files are gone, tee hee.” HTTPS everywhere is fucking stupid. More complexity for zero benefit.

Xephonian ,

Great for my banking website.

Not at all important my my IOT sensor network.

Not EVERYTHING needs to be HTTPS

Xephonian ,

Because I have reasonable views about security drawbacks? That when I see a vulnerability, I also look at the whole situation and decide if that’s an acceptable risk, rather than screaming “Security issue!” at the top of my lungs and pretending that patching this one vulnerability somehow makes a difference when there’s always another found the next week??

Security isn’t free, it costs us by making it harder to get work done. “Security researchers” only know how to cover their ass. I can do that without their shrieking cries of wolf.

Xephonian ,

You think your data is secure with HTTPS? There’s always an undisclosed vulnerability somewhere.

Patches solve specific issues but they do nothing for overall security.

Xephonian ,

Move the goalposts some more. I never said forced.

Xephonian ,

You should triple encrypt your HD.

Just to be sure.

Xephonian ,

Oh look, we’ve found a security ‘researcher’. Mad that your job only consists of making other people’s job harder?

Try the DMV, that’s also a great place to work where you can inflict misery on others.

Valuable zero days aren’t exposed. They’re sold. If someone wants your data they will get it. HTTPS means nothing except huge amounts of wasted CPU cycles and energy.

Xephonian ,

You lack nuance in comprehension of complicated subjects. Are you a security researcher?

Xephonian ,

But what if… there’s a vulnerabilty…‘spooky noises’

Xephonian ,

TLS 1.0 was released in 1999 as an upgrade from SSL 2.0 and 3.0.

And these days we’re on v1.3 - www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/why-use-tls-1.3/

Notice anything? There’s always a flaw. The general public hasn’t discovered it in TLS1.3…yet

And again, Banking websites, some stuff makes a lot of sense to use encryption.

Just not everywhere.

Xephonian ,

Funny.

Xephonian ,

…isn’t that reading?

Xephonian ,

Blame the parents for not immigrating legally. ICE is there to protect our borders. Want open borders? You can donate your house first. Oh not your house? Then fuck off.

Millions live here legally. “It’s hard!” is not an excuse.

Xephonian ,

They have to move somewhere right? So why not your house?

Oh right, you’re fine with giving away other peoples things.

Just not yours.

Xephonian ,

I blame the idiots that think prosperity we enjoy here in the USA is some sort of unlimited resource and that we can just print money when we run out.

Go ahead, print more money. Hope you’ve already bought your wheelbarrow.

Xephonian ,

South American governments should get their shit together. But they can’t and we all know why. Importing that here is like shitting in your pool then wondering why no one want to swim at your pool party.

Xephonian ,

Whoops turns out you’re ignorant of reality - apnews.com/…/fact-check-nyc-migrants-credit-debit…

"The city is launching a pilot program that will provide migrants with prepaid debit cards to buy only food and baby supplies, "

But the Democrats are losing voters in record numbers, they had to do something to make the election rigging in 2025 look plausible. Solution: import millions of ‘voters’ and give them free shit.

Xephonian ,

naturally no other country in the world enjoys a similar level of prosperity without creating an underclass that they abuse for their profit.

There literally isn’t. Whine about the percentages all you want. You still have a higher standard of living than literally anywhere else in the world.

Capitalism did that. It’s not perfect but it’s better than anything else.

Xephonian ,

without creating an underclass that they abuse for their profit.

Just because you don’t know about them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Xephonian ,

It was made by Hollywood for Hollywood.

Xephonian ,

We’ve already established that. Now we’re just haggling about the price.

Xephonian ,

Drink verification can

Xephonian ,

When people tell you who they are, listen.

We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re coming for your kids.

Xephonian ,

and attack anyone who goes through the door with whatever you can throw

Gee, it’s almost like having a deadly weapon that can be wielded by almost anyone, and would do an excellent job at protecting those children, would be a good idea.

Naw, let the children fight off bullets with books and paperweights. Life’s a bitch - no sense in coddling them.

Xephonian ,

Schools used to have shooting ranges built into them. And school shootings weren’t a problem. Kids are more than capable of being responsible around firearms.

The only reason you’re gunphobic is because you’ve been brainwashed.

Xephonian ,

20 gallons a year isn’t much at all.

“Man reasonably consumes cheese” isn’t as catchy I suppose.

Xephonian ,

its all energy. What is energy? Uh…

This. This so much. What the hell is energy and what enables it to exist?

Xephonian ,

knowingly or unknowingly

Oh they know. Changing definitions is textbook propaganda.

Xephonian ,

That’s how you build natural immunity.

You think you’re not exposed to germs constantly? If the germs are on your hands they are also already on your face.

You’d think germ theory hasn’t been discovered since fucking 1762.

Xephonian ,

I think they are for checkout convenience. That’s why they’re so thin, don’t mess up the weight.

Xephonian ,

OMG. Did you know you have germs on you RIGHT NOW!?

Better drink bleach to take care of the germs internally too, just to be safe.

Xephonian ,

You’re worried about a water balloon while standing under a waterfall.

Xephonian ,

The ‘water’ is the ‘contamination’.

Xephonian ,

Love an Invader Zim reference.

Xephonian ,

AOC is dumber than a sack of bricks. Where are the business collusion charges then?

The gun charges should have been brought years ago, this is such an obvious attention redirection it’s pathetic. But then the people who listen to mold like AOC don’t have any brain cells either.

Xephonian ,

Or not at all, because they’re bad laws

Fucking lol. ALL leftist claim they want more gun laws. But for Hunter “they’re bad laws”.

What a joke. Democracy is dead, Democrats killed it. (then blamed white men)

Xephonian ,

There are no leftists. Only liberals pretending they’re something they’re not. Humm, why does that sounds familiar?

Xephonian ,

Don’t bother debating. We know you don’t have a rational thought in your head.

Xephonian ,

Let not forget Biden specifically campaigned for more gun laws.

Whatever you call them, pretending that now, suddenly, they’re ‘bad laws’ is yet another example of how The Left™ says one thing then does another. Without double-standards they’d have none at all.

Gaming laptops are great for those who don’t understand they’re getting a slower, harder to upgrade and more expensive system than a desktop.

Unless a college student in Tokyo with half a square foot of desk space, or travel a lot and like to game at the hotel, there are very few reasonable justifications for a gaming laptop. And even with those justifications they are a less-than-ideal situation. A desktop is always a better solution when feasible.

Xephonian ,

And you’d be wrong. Triton subs have the only full-ocean-depth commercially rated submersible. It literally has no depth rating, it safe in any part of the ocean. And not just once. Repeatedly.

Check out the stupid mistakes that were made with OceanGate - engineering.com/…/potential-structural-reasons-fo…

"You’re remembered for the rules you break. And I’ve broken some rules to make this. The carbon fiber and titanium? There’s a rule you don’t do that. Well, I did.”

There were several people who quit working with OceanGate because their failure would paint all submersibles with a bad reputation. And thanks to morons like you and Stockton, they were right.

Xephonian ,

Touch grass.

Xephonian ,

Science, real science like Elon is describing, happens when you write stuff down. “Published science” is where the glamor is but that’s, quite obviously, not what Elon was talking about.

So sad to see bitter people lash out at the successful. (projection is also a classic trait)

Xephonian ,

Published science requires peer review. Big difference.

“good for the community” isn’t relevant to being science.

Xephonian ,

If you remain perfectly still, you’ll stop sinking at your waist

I’m not sure you understand buoyancy. Floating objects float, they don’t sink no matter how much thrashing about. And while quicksand is denser than water, it’s still not dense enough to float a human at their waist, it’s actually around their chest.

Nobody dies from drowning in quicksand. Ever. It’s always dehydration/fatigue.
