A hotel room being "full doesn’t necessarily mean the guest is in the room at that very moment, just that the room us reserved. And given infinite rooms it’s basically guaranteed one of those reservations is for sisyphus

Yep

Hong Kong itself as well as the Kowloon peninsula were actual territories that belonged to the UK after they were ceded to them after the opium wars.

It’s only the “new teritories” which were several smaller islands surrounding Hong Kong island that were part of the 99 year lease.

Even if no effort was made to secure the new territories, we could have and should have defended Hong Kong and Kowloon as part of Britiain, as the people wanted to be either independent or remain British.

Thatcher rolled over and sold their futures to appease China.

When I cum I moan the buddy Holly riff

For all her reputation of being the Iron Lady Thatcher really pussied out of standing up to china on this.

Like could you imagine the difference if the UK had someone with some fucking backbone back then that didn’t sell Hong Kong to its Doom?

Are you aware you dont need to understand the actual data to build data on a consumer. Even when its end-to-end encrypted proton still know your IP, the IP you’re trying to access, number of packets (data size) your online times etc.

So while they cant read your facebook messages, they know how often, and at what times you use facebook messenger, netflix, youtube etc. And they can turn that into a profile on you that they can sell.

I wonder if they even know what the fuck a drone is? It’s going to be like flying a drone over an u contacted tribe except instead of spears they’ll have 50 year old AKs

They also subsidise the CEOs salary. And when him, his successor or someone else high up in the company decides that’s not enough for them, that treasure trove of consumer information is going to be awfully tempting to sell if they aren’t already.

Comparing a completely offline software to a VPN that literally routes all your internet traffic through their own servers is completely apples to oranges.

Oh my sweet summer child.

Remember if a service is free then YOU are the product.

Edit: 🤡: no you don’t understand I like this company, so there’s no way they would ever do something underhanded like literally every other company ever 🤡

Emma is just short for Emmental

Israel has literally planned to eventually take over the entire region since before day 1 of it existing. Bibi is trying to get the native population out of gaza 1 way or the other so he can annex it.

Typical American attitude.

That’s MAJOR Dick Bong to you.

Ok

Are they attempting that? Because if thousands upon thousands of scientific papers and our best and brightest describing what climate chabge is going to do, hundreds of peaceful protests, hundreds of protests at oil rigs and depots and FF company HQs and politicians houses and banks financing FF companies, and experiencing first hand the actual effects of climate change don’t stir people to action, what will?

These protests are to keep climate change permanently is the public consciousness, so people and the media can’t just bury their heads in the sand and pretend it’s not happening while they get us to chase whatever culture war bullshit is going on.

The people who actually give a damn about this and take action aren’t going to be put off because someone sprayed starch on a rock, or put paint on a piece of glass in front of an art work. And the people getting their knickers in a twist over that are the people that were never, ever going to do literally anything to help the problem.

This is literally supervillain stuff.

Tad dramatic mate. It was literally people praying corn starch on a rock. Calm your tits.

Idk why but I’m getting big deja vu from this story.
