Not only can you say it, you can get temperate responses and arguments on the subject and not the person. Sure, we have to deal with some absolutists like on .mil, but after a few weeks of blocking the bad actors, this is a really refreshing environment.

Edit: and to OP on .ml, that wasn’t against you. Be sure to search around for areas that interest you, it can be sparse but there are some real gems here.

I’ve started making claim email chains with the state ombudsman cc’d in the first email. Saves so much time.

That’s correct. Everyone here making six figures will have some form of asset they could cash in if the chips came down. I sometimes feel underwater, but if I made painful cuts, I could survive. Real Americans are living day to day knowing if things get bad, they might have to sell more blood.

Well once you’re lemmy famous, you can do anything.

Every drop of water makes the river, don’t forget you’re a part of the world, and you’re important, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.

Identifying agents and their families is the silver bullet, which is why it’s seen as such an offense to the government. Currently, agents are able to threaten people and their families without similar threat, and they’re confident in their numbers in a fight. If they faced the same fears they impose, they would chill out very quickly.

Janet, I think someone set your language to angelic, fix that please.

This is a charged issue, people aren’t downvoting you so much as expressing anger at what’s happening. Good use of nottheonion.

If Lemmy could up its porn game, reddit would just be bots saying catchy things to each other.

When I click on your name, I see you are here to argue.

I dunno, have you seen how big that thing is? You can fit a lot of guillotines in there.

There are people who are quietly living a great life with wealth, I’ve met some of them. Money only amplifies who a person is, because it gives them a bigger platform to act.

You know that person who can never have enough, and has some big hole inside them they keep trying to fill from the outside? Give them a few billion and here you are.

For the rest of what country, Haiti?

The metal kind cut better, make sure you have one of those as well.

It’s their second trip to the buffet, they deserve what they asked for.

Rich people, mostly.

I met Captain Crunch around 2012, really nice and still insanely curious about phone systems.

Target sent credit card information to the back of the store unencrypted. Bluetooth didn’t need encryption because nobody can get that close. You could stop 50% of malware by changing the name of your windows directory. Security through obscurity was believed to work, every automated oil rig in the gulf was operating in the clear even into the 2000’s.

Wild times.

Waiting to hear the boat was trafficking people and the intel was wrong.

Since 9/11 they’re generally locked off from the public in the US. I attended some mass casualty and terrorism training and we talked with someone who ran their city water and sewer. He had a neat plan to radiate the city water system he helped them defend against.
