The solution to the servailance state is disinformation, not disconnection. You need to learn to salt your data. Being off the grid is information in itself. There is not really anything about you that is secret anymore anyway.

In order to increase your safety you need to utilize technology.

I agree that someone elses AI is as trustworthy as google or facebook. But different AIs can be uses for different things. Trust your AI to give you accurate data. Trust cloud AI to help you make memes and discover new ideas and whatever else you can't do locally.

Learn to bullshit better. Partner with others to cross pollinate your profile sets. Use tech to randomize data that can be scraped about you. That is the way forward.

Well I'm thinking specifically of Holland (amsterdam) and places where prostitution is legal, but regulated. I don't really know personally of men who are "getting it on the side," but I've heard a lot of stories. And I don't blame men for wanting sex a lot, because that's what we are. We make over a million sperm a day, they have to go somewhere, and so it's no wonder to me men are horny all the time. To men, sex can be purely fun/recreational without deeper meaning. I don't think men think of it as cheating as much as just getting their needs met. Just some thoughts.

I have never known of such a case. I'm not denying those exist, but those are certainly outliers. Men generally only have so much libido to go around and if they are having sex with their wives every day it's hard to have the time or energy to cheat.

I don't know about that, in some countries men who are happily married and getting it regularly still pay for sex. I think men crave sex as a recreational and physical outlet in a manner that most women are not accustomed to and equally allowed to reciprocate in. We tell women to behave and not act out sexually, but we let men be as sexually active as possible. Thus I believe there's nothing wrong with legitimizing sex workers if that's the kind of work they CHOOSE and they are not forced into it for any reason.

Well it should. I come from a pretty conservative background, but morals are your own to have and not something that should be imposed onto you by an immoral institution like the government. People with the absolute minimum morals believe the government needs to put a floor on their morals.

For example, I don't drink. I didn't need a law to tell me that less vice is a positive. But I also don't go around saying that the government should make drinking illegal because I don't need to use a government to impose my morals on others. Instead I can encourage others to make their own choice and consider that mine might be worth adopting. This is literally what Jesus taught as the only moral way to spread morality.

Men wouldn't pay for sex if women didn't held it back from them. Hypergamy and polyginy are the root cause of the imbalance between the amount of men and women who are desperate for sex, therefore it is strictly the result of female choices.

I firmly (firm, giggity) believe that prostitution SHOULD be legalized. I've never understand how men can say they are against it, when they're the ones who devoutly gobble it all up (giggity). If you're HONEST and a male, you know damn well you dream about a world where sex is as normal and OK as eating or breathing; it should be, it's as basic and as needed as food or drink or oxygen. You all know I'm right, we want a world where nobody gets uptight over sex and it's ok to be open and have whatever sexual tryst you desire. So why do we pretend it's wrong and keep prostitution illegal, then sneak out at night and sleep with everything we can find or pick up on the streets? It's hypocritical in the extreme!!!

It's incredibly hypocritical for any male here to say that there's anything wrong with legalizing prostitution or with sex work at all, because it's men that create and support it and BEG for it to exist. I'm not saying that's wrong either, as a man I know how important that s#it is for us. What i'm saying is, I know from experience that men would love to live in a world where getting in on with a sex worker was more than just Ok, but actually encouraged; and that men want to live in a sexualized society. So don't sit here and pass judgment as if you're on a higher horse than everyone else. If you're a guy, you desire to have this stuff and if you're honest you can admit it.

I was about to say something similar. I don't know enough about Tate to say if or not I think it's a pyramid scheme, but if it is, good, take it down.
As for "Misogyny"... Who the fuck are you, Apple? Do you make shitty, locked out phones and pads or are you the Police Of Vice And Virtue? Did I tell you to think for me? Did someone tell you to judge what is and isn't right and wrong? What credentials are you displaying to tell me that you're able to tell what is and isn't okay? What process have you gone through to decide that hearing, what you have deemed to be, "Misogyny" is a problem? Even if it was universally agreed that it's Misogyny, what right do you have to tell me I can't listen to it? If I want to listen to a rap song about killing cops and selling drugs, I will. If I want to listen to the death screams of beheaded people, I will. If I want to listen to a list of wholesome home cooking recipes or a description of the smell that cooking meth at home leaves on your clothes, I'll do either fucking one of those things and you can keep your God damned nose out of it.

Even if there was evidence that listening to something made you turn into that thing, I'm not some brain dead drone waiting to be imprinted on. I've played violent video games and never shot a person. I've watched violent sex scenes and never raped a person. I've read about Communism and never sized the means of production. I'm a sane, stable, semi-intelligent adult and I don't need Daddy Apple holding my hand and telling me what's okay to watch or hear. I can make up my own mind... And even if I couldn't, you can mind your own fucking business.

You want to take it down because you don't like it?... Then say that, you self-righteous, arrogant, self-important narcissists! Go ahead, tell your userbase that this is the rule from now on: "We remove things we don't like."

Its previous testing in animals is under scrutiny, after reports that trials caused unnecessary suffering. Former employees characterized tests as “hack jobs”, telling Reuters that in one instance, the device was implanted in the wrong position in pigs, leading to their euthanasia.

‘EV house of cards collapses’ by PanzerDivision in technology

It is time to swing the environmental blame towards car manufactures, and their market manipulation sales tactic of car dealerships. Gas efficiency hasn't went up in decades. Dealerships stash millions of new cars on their lots, to help inflate prices with artificial scarcity, despite the supply of cars, when considering one sitting on dealership lots, are probably enough to stretch to the moon. Many of those cars will become outdated and undesirable before they sell. What happens to all those expired, rotten, cars? I think they might be trashing them, hiding them, or other wise shielding the public's knowledge of the massive waste and excess.

You know what's funny? On one hand, they are obsessed with forcing the entire PC ecosystem fully into the cloud whether we users want this or not. And on the other hand, each new version of their software requires more and more hardware to even run. The point of relying on a central server somewhere, is that I should be able to get away with using a low-power potato client that can barely do anything more demanding than put information on my screen. Instead, you'll see full fat computers that will refuse to work if the Internet is down or the subscription has not been paid. I guess this is the quality of product that is shat out of the capitalist orifice.

Smart people know that this cloud obsession is not at all about saving the planet or making things cheaper for the user, but instead, grabbing users by the p**** and making us their b****. Considering what they will do with all the user's private information such as documents we work on, our private artistic creations, etc, the monthly fee to use the thing will be the least of our problems. :)
