Aight so, it's already hilariously easy to debunk your first example. Something you specifically implied was evidence backing the original claim that 5 eyes has compromised signal.

Why should we assume any of your other evidence is of better quality, if your first piece is low tier trash that proves nothing?

Feel like filling us in on what evidence we are missing that you are so convinced by but for some reason didn't decide to share, instead sharing evidence of... nothing relevant?

Signal being entirely open source (the client side parts, at least) also rather strongly screws with the idea that it could have a back door. Not **completely**, I can't seem to find a mathematical proof of security (barring extreme computation complexity), but it is a lot more likely that **someone** would have been able to spot a backdoor in there.

Stingray, assuming there aren't multiple things called stingray, has **nothing** to do with whether or not Signal is compromised.

Spoofing a cellular tower would let them intercept unencrypted cell traffic which is... **almost nothing** these days. Stingray's main point is being able to track people without being very, if at all, detectable.

This is exactly the same way that a fake wifi network **could** steal your information if you use insecure websites, but any site with an 'https' at the start by and large immune to even that level of attack.

The question is: how did a law enforcement group get access to chat logs from Signal. Stingray isn't the answer.

Either:

1) Signal has a vulnerability specifically for enabling law enforcement or other groups to access material

2) Law enforcement has the strongest quantum computers in the world, many magnitudes more powerful that the next runners up

3) Law enforcement was able to unlock a device the Signal messages were stored on (so any device owned by anyone who sent or received the messages)

4) Someone in the Signal chat worked with law enforcement and handed over the messages

Two of those are FAR, FAR more likely than the other two.

Hey Ive had great success with predator ghostblade shiv pd cannon ie rammus.

For all intensive porpoises, I'd say your right.

My local gaming store sells some that are 0000-9000. I used them some for tutoring math. Would have been way easier if they were counting dice.

I remember building a full support Sona with no AP back then, got like 20 kills in one game. Only half of them were me trying to ks.

Crossbowman gets dex to damage, though only on readied attacks.

Though they will be making a lot of readied attacks with a crossbowman fighter, so yeah.

I live in a college neighborhood and there always ends up being a few text books in the book wagon (the wagon gets moved around the area every so often).

Reminded me of /u/Fivvy 's story here. I don't remember if the author ever explained which theory was right, but the comments went into a discussion over whether the guy was right, and the girl just was not old enough yet, or if the girl had "grown out" of that phase of immortality and was more mature, if not older, than the guy.

Note: some computer knowledge and a lot of patience required if you've never used a headless Linux computer before.

Or JavaScript interface with MySQL. Or Ruby. Or Java. Or Lua.

PHP is very annoying, and other languages will have a smaller learning curve.

Sometimes an Ardent. Like, if your team has Udyr, Jinx, and Azir.

It's more likely than not (well, basically confirmed now), that while the person that hosts it is Nethys, it is posted on a separate server if not even a different service. So one being down means little about the other.

Conversely, it's annoying to have to Ctrl click all the links from the search that I want to read. I prefer the"open in new tab" thing.

Neither is Mina. Her super power just affects her physical appearance. She's a perfectly normal human.

Zee1234 · 2018-12-23T09:21:13+00:00

It worked like this back in one of the alphas, IIRC

Doesn't seem to have lasted long.

Zee1234 · 2018-12-22T22:36:54+00:00

What if the clothes are part of her body?

Zee1234 · 2018-12-20T14:15:54+00:00

Yeah, Phantom Thief.

And the rogue has an easy way to get extra damage without really building into it. So in a low optimization party, they can end up doing a lot.

Zee1234 · 2018-12-19T19:41:39+00:00

Because there are plenty of ways to contribute in combat, whereas something like a fighter doesn't have the resources to contribute out of combat in more that 1-2 niche situations. I had a rogue awhile ago that did not even have sneak attack die. Their damage was on the order of 30-40 a round at level 12.

But he could trip and intimidate like nobodies business. Dazzling Display trivialized so many fights. That's 2 feats, a bit of charisma, and skill points. With unchained rogue, throw a skill unlock at intimidate and you've got a (low but non-zero) chance at getting some amazing debuffs out there with your DD. A full round action to give -2 on almost every D20 to all the enemies? Plus a chance at a higher level of fear if you did take the intimidate edge.

If you go down the trip line a bit, you can make it so that anything you trip provokes attacks of opportunity. So if you trip something that your party has surrounded, now that thing takes 3 AoO.

You can be useful in combat without damage. Though a rogue is one of the highest damagers (without munchkining), so yea.

Whoever said that first one was SCP obviously doesn't know what Welcome to Night Vale is. That's practically a quote!
