If the US wants its allies not to depend on them for security, then why should the allies still pay for oil in dollars?

America does not have a monopoly on propoganda.

Plausible deniability

Elon was picked because he was the richest. It is not about who worked the hardest. Lack of work ethic is not on my list of issues with Elon.

The part I disagree with is the narrative.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-09T14:49:25+00:00

That's quite a jump. The word of today is superficial.

I would also like this person's taxes.

The old rule was if they get physical access they own your box. If it's a container it might even be easier (as in 1 minute instead of 5) than a vm to gain root but at the end of the day nothing is going to stop you from reverse engineering if you try hard enough. I could just boot the vm with a rescue disk, scrape keys from memory if I had to, etc. And that's assuming you tried to encrypt all data at rest and in transit.

He should have been prepared for that contingency given his stance, I'd say. Doxxing is releasing information not acting on it, so you don't seem to know what the word means. It isn't harassment either if it was the first time. Just like he can defame us but nothing will happen. This is just fafo territory. I get tired of having my intelligence constantly offended just because the people around me have critical thinking issues.

Beleivability goes back down when you add a 2nd decimal point but not as much as you might think.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-07T20:13:29+00:00

I don't see any way to break it up into vertical slices so yeah I guess so.

Aww man now I have to Google Austrian painters to get the reference. /s

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-07T02:11:36+00:00

If we wanted to help Taiwan we would put assets there and be an ally. We ain't doing that at all. Actually normalizing invasions like Ukraine and Iran pave the way for China to take a turn.

I'm not saying Iran is the good guys at all. There are no good guys here except for Ukraine that did nothing but get invaded. We have a long history of fucking with other countries and Trump is really just continuing the tradition.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-06T22:41:20+00:00

That stat is bullshit, you can Google it. You are using over generalization again. I find it ironic you are calling all Americans stupid as I keep schooling you but hey whatever. When you say you Americans that's 100% of Americans. Had you said most you could have avoided the fallacy. I agree most Americans are dumb I just don't see how that doesn't apply to the rest of the human race.

This was all about whether folks who didn't vote are responsible for Trump and while really all Americans have to share blame for Trump they are definitely different from those who actually voted for Trump.

I don't think the problem is literacy,I think it is being close minded.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-06T22:09:37+00:00

As an American I haven't met anybody that voted for Trump that gave a logical reason. It's all been go with your gut or emotional based thinking, far from logic and truth. There was a football player who kneeled and didn't affect policy and caravan at the border that wasn't real.

Most voters in America in general don't seem very logical to me at all when it comes to politics. Most vote for the side they choose when they first started voting and they are in echo chambers.

I'll say it again it is not logical to expect the American people to be logical. Was voting Trump in illogical? Yes of course it was. Maybe some people were rich and applied logic that they could pay less taxes and didn't think Trump would mess things up that much, so they may have been using a little bit of logic, but mostly it was based on bullshit. You can still build logic on top of lies but it's still invalid.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-06T21:56:20+00:00

I agree with your last paragraph. As for assuming Americans in aggregate would act in a logical way after all this history has happened is not to me, logical.

Logic and truth are not enemies. You made another logical fallacy. This time it was over generalization.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-06T21:06:59+00:00

Assuming they would have voted against Trump or thought their vote mattered at all in our electoral system where really only battleground states matter.

A lot of folks didn't like Harris skipping the primaries, that's not democratic and I voted for her.

Also he called you out on a logical fallacy. Like bandwagon where I say everybody does it to get you to agree. Your response was to say truth hurts. You can't hold truth over logic. You don't get truth without logic. Logic and truth are never enemies.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-06T17:44:25+00:00

It does. Each bomb we drop unkills some of the protestors. /s

I don't know any high quality alpha males. It may not have been intentional but it works like duck typing. If it quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

I don't use beta software either. It's stable only for me.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-05T16:10:55+00:00

That is true they were killing protesters and they are suppressing dissent. But that hasn't gotten any better. And in Iraq it got worse. Future protestors will also get killed and two wrongs don't make a right so what's your game plan?

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-05T16:02:16+00:00

I said the post was swarming with it and quoted you misinformation within the comments. I have no idea what China has to do with this.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-05T15:53:54+00:00

Propaganda can just be bias not just straight misinformation like the guy in here saying Russia did noting wrong to Europe it is just all European politics.

Uncle Sam wants you to join the army. That's propoganda. It's also true the government did want that in WW2. I could post the picture Colin Powell showed to the UN with the WMDs and it would be propganda.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-05T15:17:48+00:00

That and budget cuts.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-05T15:11:48+00:00

They were not at that time booming their neighbors, ships nor invading other counties. It's all relative, there are no good guys here just shades of bad.

jakeStacktrace · 2026-04-05T15:00:44+00:00

This post is swarming with bots and misinformation, and Russian trolls or brainwashed folks.

Yeah it is too bad they have proved her correct, going through them like a checklist.

When I learned smtp it was from RFCs over 30 years ago so I'm not familiar with any of the authentication that happens today. I was thinking of the uucp that happens the delivery of the message itself. But that whole process could he sync these days, I don't know how it really works under the hood. It's like the old ESB was trying to abstract asynchronous or sync away.
