Currently still trying to find a country to call home with ICE knocking on doors and all.

It was kind of neat seeing a lot of countries offer visas for buying a house there.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted.

Proton CEO praised a Trump admin. I prefer my net neutrality folks to not ever kiss the ring of any government.

But if they aren’t real, why do they always come out of the woodwork when there’s a woman as the lead character?

I think it’s because they’ve gotten away with it for decades. Like the Shining movie vs books. Or Jurassic Park movie vs book, gave movie studios the power to tell the actual author to go fuck off.

I have Europeans who joined my company surprised at how little protection they get.

Around 2015, My niece told me she worked at a bank teller and the first thing they did was require her to install the bank’s app and rate it five stars. She said her phone is too old and they got angry. And she’d tell me they’d do “phone sweeps” to see if the app was on people’s phones.
