The reverse could be true, too.

Yeah, that would just end up going completely sideways and fucking over the general population. I mean, just look at Social Security. Great idea in theory, but it's become an unstoppable behemoth.

Quantum Pause Breathing — 10 minutes of this type of breathing and you won't even recognize you are in a body anymore by EndlessSunflowers in Meditation

"Produce massive amounts of DMT in the lungs"... no you fuckwits, that's oxygen deprivation. Your lungs aren't getting you high.

The most you're going to feel from this is a bit of stress relief. Site uses 6 seconds, but the whole breathing/hold/exhale/hold thing is used for both meditation and as one of many "skills" taught in the mental health field.

With the massive rise in censorship, how do you guys all go about archiving text and images in real life by deAccount in censorship

[–]UnrulyAnteater 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I started taking an interest in DataHoarding (one of the last reasons I visit the other site) to archive all the crap I want to read, but dont have the time for. I've found, through DataHoaders and others, numerous useful tools. wget and rclone for batch site/file downloading, a few scripts for file renaming, and a few other scripts for organization/tagging/etc.

Right now, I'm sitting at about 2 TB of documents/books/published papers/political crap I need to sift through. And that's just text-based files. images/audio/video haven't been sorted yet, so no idea what that's at. All I know is I needed another drive.

Companies who aren’t bowing by Rogueprogram in AskSaidIt

The company I work for put out a company-wide email supporting BLM. I emailed back pointing out that corporate pandering is a major part of the reason. I expect to be let go some time in the very near future.

"monthly payment plans" for consumer electronics... that are built for immediate obsolescence. How fucking stupid do you have to be?

Wonder if that's only if you have auto-fill enabled for the address bar. Or if adblock extensions prevent it, because I've never run into the problem described, and those are the only two reasons I could think of as to why other than "maybe it was just a trial like Mozilla pulled for some of their stunts".

Yeah, my first thought was "old rich white guys" like Rockefeller, and that sort of thing. Monopoly dude type wealth. I was scratching my head as to how it was anti-semitic until I saw this comment.

Yeah... it'd be a better comparison if every MLK Boulevard were getting destroyed in these "protests"; instead we just have isolated instances of chimp-out.

New York governor Cuomo says health workers that he asked to come to NY during the pandemic have to pay state income tax, even on income that they make from their home states that they're paid while in New York. Clever move to collect badly needed revenue in NY's financial crisis. Well played Cuomo. by Chipit in news

Cuomo is useless. New York is a welfare state.

"Steam, the largest and most important online store for PC gamers, offers white supremacists a new outlet for their hateful rhetoric and calls for violence. More on Steam's role as a host for this dangerous ideology in our latest report." @ADL by Vigte in Gaming

[–]UnrulyAnteater 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm just pointing out the young male demographic typical of "gamers" also has an aggressive tendency, often expressed through the speech they use which on the surface seems hate-filled and derogatory; the volume level and frequencies experienced being akin to the chimpanzee exhibit at a zoo. With the counter-point being that much like other aggressive displays, it is just that, a mere display with no real harmful intent nor motive behind it.

Well, I mean, it is inhabited by a bunch of edge-lord 12 year-olds, so of course it's gonna sound like the great ape exhibit at the zoo.

New Bill Would Require Warning Labels on Apps Made by China, Russia, Iran by useless_aether in technology

To that end, I totally agree. However, labelling an app as from a certain country does nothing towards this if the apps made in your own country do the exact same thing.

Ironically, one of the VPN servers I use is in Canada. Get better speeds than the local node oddly enough.

At the State level, I agree. As much as they would probably think the same about us. However, from a user level, this really would only hurt individual developers. It'd also be a Scarlet letter move regarding those same developers; a slippery-slope argument I guess for more software lockdown leading a less open society.

I don't know, doesn't seem right that "they" get to determine who "the enemy" is as far as warning labels go.

They do that so you don't have the opportunity to steal a bunch of shit on the way out; or flip your lid and "exercise your 2nd amendment right to bear arms" in a small office environment.
