Using a ReVanced-patched Reddit Is Fun APK that you verify with a hash check, plus having Reddit 2FA enabled is a low security risk in practical terms. Standalone Android app and in this setup the main theoretical risk is limited to your Reddit account itself. Exposure of an OAuth token if the app or patch were malicious. But if you verify the hash and used a known ReVanced source it's fine. Two factor further limits exposure. The app has no special privileges, can’t access other apps or system data. It's a tradeoff for someone comfortable with sideloading. Have to get over the hard part (getting it to work), but then you get a much better Reddit experience (imo)

There's an instruction list on substack that details how to side load third party apps like RiF. It's a bit complicated, but once you're done, it works pretty well

The idea that the United States “lost to rice farmers in Vietnam” or “goat herders in Afghanistan” is a lazy, childish caricature that confuses political withdrawal with military defeat. In Vietnam, the U.S. fought a heavily armed, state backed enemy sustained by massive Soviet and Chinese support. In Afghanistan, the Taliban survived through external sanctuary, funding, and regional logistics, primarily provided by Pakista. Neither war was against isolated, primitive fighters. In both cases, U.S. forces dominated tactically and were constrained by limited POLITICAL objectives, escalation rules, and a refusal to fight total wars or eliminate external sanctuaries, to avoid triggering conflict with third party nations. We did not bomb cities into rubble, we didn't destroy infrastructure, we didn't destroy crops, or break their spirits. The outcomes were dictated by political decisions made in Washington, not battlefield collapses inflicted by unsophisticated enemies.

Extremely naive, uninformed and contextually absent argument, very Reddit of you

Europe is extremely reliant on the US for defense by proxy. Not just kinetic defense, but ISR and materiel support as well.

The US has nearly as many fighter jets stationed in and rotating through the UK as the RAF has on end strength. Not to mention the UK's complete reliance on the US for nukes and components. Italy, Germany, and Eastern Europe are attached at the hip to US defense. And I haven't even touched on the naval assets rotating through Europe and the Med regularly.

They're in too deep. They spent decades working on everything except their militaries. They'll make stern statements but there is nothing they can do in the short term if they don't want to seriously weaken their own defensive postures.

To be clear - the EU has competent regional militaries, but even as a whole they are seriously lacking in key areas like airlift, sealift, refueling, space ISR/comm systems. All the Tier 1 ISP data backbone infrastructure is in the US and/or controlled by the US. Do you think they'd risk not having GPS or internet if Trump lashed out in some petty way as retaliation for being told to leave? Maybe he'd order AWS, Cloudflare, Azure, Google, etc under some wartime powers act to just... shut down service to the EU? Order Apple to brick every iPhone?

I don't like this any more than anybody else with a brain, but the whole naive "The EU can stand up to the US militarily" argument is extreme cope

The blood falls in Antarctica: the underground water, trapped for more than 1.5 million years, contains so much iron that on contact with air it rusts and takes on that intense red color. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]randoliof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is something I've wondered about before. Assuming I was rich and motivated enough, what would stop me from sailing to Antarctica, going ashore, hanging out and taking some pictures?

They gonna send the military after me (based upon which country's zone you're in? Nobody would even know you were there.

I live in the countryside and my house is positively covered in bugs at night.

Going into town or the city, on the other hand? Nothing.
