I had a similar situation where my internet source was Wifi via the guest network of the landlord’s router. Eventually I setup an openwrt router which connected to that guest wifi as client, and networked it to ethernet connected devices. Since this meant I couldn’t use wifi on my own network (hardware limitations, I guess), I connected another router to that one via ethernet to distribute wifi as well. Don’t wanna know how many network problems this created, NAT was the obvious one.

Might as well… we would’ve probably gone to jail instead anyway, because they think they know me better than myself. It would’ve been so romantic though: they’d come banging, shouting some gibberish about unauthorized use of emergency frequency and arson. We would’ve shot two bullets back through the door, shouting back, backup failure IS an emergency, and how you personally don’t take shit from no one.

Hidden seems to be better.

We’re chilling right now (: Don’t let the gun mislead you. They sure do have a bad rep. spins gun around finger It’s not actually guns that kill peop- shoots self in foot.

DISCLAIMER: I post this as food for thought, not to be taken as fact. My only source is this one psychologist, who also did not seem to differentiate between primary and secondary psychopaths, which I’d consider a pretty strong red flag.

A clinical psychologist touched a bit on this in this video at 26.56.
Basically claiming that recent studies point to the core of psychopathy being (somewhat paradoxically) anxiety. They learned that genuine connection, love, etc. doesn’t work to provide safety (or, considering the science of primary psychopaths, that they are genetically tuned that way). So the alternative, or one of them is controlling people. Similarly, sadism can be seen as the pain in other people that are validation of one’s control and therefore safety.

Of course this often completely backfires, because pushing people far enough can make them more unpredictable too, etc. Not to mention how utterly destructive it is.

Possibly. What makes you think so?

Pretty solid and good read. Also love the last paragraph.

Got a cast iron pot for the first time a few months ago gifted to me. The heaviness really is a thing.

Popcorn is very hard to do, because it’s so heavy to keep the pot moving the whole time (don’t know another technique to make popcorn in a normal pot).

Draining pasta water without a colander is near impossible. Yes, just use a colander. But it takes away the flexibility of a light-weight pot, where you can absolutely get by without one, just making pasta meals.

Taking it out and putting it away is actually not that easy.

My 5 cents of living with cast iron pot.

Fascism supersedes AI in all aspects here, imo.
For example, fuck whatever AI is doing if your art is publicly funded, or you can live on UBI because humanity progressed towards truthful discoveries rather than the multi-billion dollar complex that keeps the rich & powerful where they are.

If AI would be in the hands of the people at large, this technology would in many ways not be causing so much trouble.
But as we are entering into increasingly more fascist territory in the west, that means little hope for effective controls. If anything the interest to use it to aid oppressing those that fascism intends to oppress fits more in line.

It means legal, financial and other freedoms are limited as people are to be sucked dry and controlled and not get any dangerous ideas. So not a whole lot of freedom around creating arts and/or creating thoughtful stuff. Wanna hang out with that interesting non-obeying person, hm Social Score? How’s the art scene and all those great writers in North Korea? Wanna philosophize about the creation of Israel, genocide and moral duty, publicly in Germany?

So that great craftsmanship you speak of, might require resources and ideas that will not be permitted in that combination in the future.

If none of their ports work, I’d guess it would affect their war effort considerably. It also means stable supply lines by water and no worries about naval movements.

I don’t like anything with ‘sovereign’ in it because it makes me think of the Sovereign Individual and the big tech people preaching it.

I’d probably think of Jargon of the industry, words, phrases, etc. that people use who work all that infrastructure stuff at the core of your game. And then hope they inspire something. Some games that make think of this, for example: Tropico, Anno, Satisfactory

I was gonna joke that you could show up as a raging trigger-happy and bloodthirsty gun-fanatic. But in the current climate, that is probably a rather qualifying factor.

In all seriousness, if this is important to you there is no way around doing your own research. There are always ways.

For example, in the book “How to Win an Information War” it is mentioned that allies at some point flew flyers over Nazi troops that gave instructions on how to temporarily get symptoms of a serious illness that would potentially allow them to leave the front.
Tbf I don’t remember if that was one of those that didn’t actually work and just got nazis actually fucked up, or helped reduce their numbers and morale. But you get the gist.

The defense with the feet I got from someone who had to defend themselves multiple times. I don’t remember the details, but it’s about the easier way to keep distance from their mouth without it biting onto anything… idk. I’d say, check some youtube videos or other resources of people who talk from experience. :)

I think another important reason is to keep the face away. If you were to use your fists, you’d have to lean forward, bringing your face closer to their mouth. You’re also not allowing them to bite anywhere, like your legs. Of course, much like a knife fight, you don’t wanna be in this situation in the first place.

The palm thing, if you’re already doing a lot of other things right, it probably doesn’t matter much. But I find it signals more intent that you mean no harm. And by the time they come that close to you, I don’t see them attacking you, like ever. And if they were to show hostile behaviour beforehand, you have time to change your hand position and stand up.

Like this

I would say, the psychology behind is that we grip into our palms. So it’s harder to hide something behind your palms. You’re showing in every way you are not backstabbing them.

Germany has quite the culture of draft dodging.

I remember all kinds of stories. Smoking like a chimney and getting drunk as fuck before and dressing like a tourist with a camera as you enter the mandatory meeting thing.

Of course the criteria to get drafted are different through places and time, but try to figure out the process, and what would eliminate you from getting drafted.

Also, it’s literally in one of those declassified CIA handbooks, that one of the ways to hijack an organisation from the inside is to be incompetent as fuck. Eager, but incompetent. Report any meaningless thing that technically is report worthy, to clog up the pipelines, make meetings way too long and talk about meaningless details.

Stray dogs:
If you pass somewhere and there are suddenly stray dogs in your way, just squat down and show your hands. Hands down, palms up. If they come to sniff and shit, keep your palms below their face. Basically let them come to you. When they trust you, you can pat the top of the head. But patting the top of the head before they know you can be dangerous, as you might use them to hit them, for example.

Usually within seconds the whole pack comes to get some love :)

I’ve never been attacked by a dog this way. But if a dog would come at me, actually aggressive and not slow down, I hear you should use your feet to defend yourself.

Don’t just walk through their territory.

One of the best resources I found to just learn fundamentals of maths.
