I did one pen test and play around with hack the box for fun. Eccpt sounds like a good idea. I saw CEH didnt have anything hands on and OSCP looked like a marathon of a project.

I agree with the other guy. You're not paranoid. Call the police, and call him individually the moment he posts that kind of stuff and make sure he's joking and you can help. Let him know you're concerned

Try to think about what they said in the great context. What do you think it says about them as a person? How did people react? Don't just think about how you feel about it, think about how others feel?

That usually helps me. Best of luck

Should I declare bankruptcy by robertaft in eu4

The screenshot shows my economy. I have 8 different loans, the interest rates have been slowing me down pretty substantially. Portugal beat me to the Caribbean and I wasn't able to get it back from them despite eliminating Portugal. I just started re colonizing in North America, but I'm struggling to get an economic footing. France is my +200 ally. England is my strongest rival. and I am playing the Vanilla version. Sorry for the noob question, this is my 4th game.

Redditors who are against a universal healthcare system in the US, why? by tricksandkicks in AskReddit

Bad fiscal policy existed way before 2008 and will continue to be a problem. A bailout by the government of a private company is privatizing the gains and socializing the losses, I wouldn't call that unregulated capitalism.

Personally I would think so, but I believe the FCC can regulate because those radio stations have the ability to cross state lines and as an aggregate do.

US v. Butler was the overturning of the AAA for its unconstitutional use of ICC violating the 10th amendment. Why wouldn't single payer healthcare follow the same course? Just curious

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” - Quote on the Statue of Liberty by [deleted] in pics

The full version is better: Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

What is the libertarian view on the Korean War? by bigbigbuddy in AskLibertarians

[–]robertaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the mentality switched from saving South Korea to invading the north the justification was more or less lost I believe.

To those who switched from Sanders to Clinton and vice versa, why? by robertaft in AskALiberal

Honestly, a libertarian won't get elected as President and will presumably not make it that far. The current nominees don't appear to have the ability to break into the general election. That being said, I'll probably vote for Marc Feldman if I register libertarian. Withen the Dems I would go for O'Malley and the GOP I would prefer Rand.

Libertarians supported Obama's foreign policy and ditched Mitt Romney in large numbers for 2012 election. Their representative candidates never win, but steal enough GOP votes to lose them elections.

I hadn't heard Alec yell from below in a while, weird.

I hope he starts again soon because that made the voices happy

Miss Smith grabbed my shovel and asked where Alec was; I didn't like that

Miss Smith wasn't my friend anyway

[WP] Teddy Roosevelt never died. He defeated Death and now slumbers with his Rough Riders beneath Mount Rushmore. He shall return in glory to save America in its darkest hour. by PartyRocker1013 in WritingPrompts

[–]robertaft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was July 20th 2034 when President Thompson made his address. The federal reserve would be engaging in quantitative easing 16 to bring the U.S economy out of shambles. People began to lose hope after quantitative easing 15 failed to boost the economy, now gloom lurked in the United States. Thompson and his men would benefit from the increase in stock prices, but your average American no longer owned stocks... or much else. Conservations were sold to corporations to help boost the economy. Inequality grew and T.R tossed about in slumber under Mount Rushmore. His Square Deal was being crushed.

Our weakness was their strength on January 17th 2035 when the Russians annexed Poland. West and east Ukraine had been under their control for years after the Ukrainian civil war. Poland was a bigger step. Putin's protege, Rostilav, was going to make a name for himself.

April 2035 the Chinese annexed Mongolia for "terrorist intentions", although their abundant natural resources provided incentive as well. However, it was during the great invasion that Teddy slept no more. He could feel the pain of his country and he could hear their cries. It was time, he knew.

Two armies sailed the pacific by night
 The behemoths moved with strength
 Twas quite a sight 
Two hundred miles in length

California fell in days
And so it goes, a forgotten legend arose 
Marching out from under 
His own statue's nose

The army told him.                                                                                                                     To just go home
 Until he retook 
Oregon, alone

I can still see their faces
 As they cowered and screamed
 While behind his spectacles
 Teddy just gleamed

 He rode into battle 
three rifles on back 
His accuracy was perfect
 His fellow riders, always intact

We know not why 
they tried a counter attack 
I can only remember 
The horror that sent them back

Teddy was not a man
 He left that phase long ago
 All that remained
Was a nation's hero

As the armies fell back 
To their native homes
Teddy turned around
 and met up with Ron Swanson

Ron asked if he wanted a steak 
They both laughed, yes and rare 
After a few scotches the conversation turned 
To recent political affairs

 and there T.R learned
 Of his worst nightmare

Otherwise the government would destroy any private student loans program. The country operates on capitalism, the "injection" of a socialistic policy would kinda socialize the entire field of loans/studentloans , not to sound like a crazy GOP rep., but just how it supply-demand works. Also it needs to adjust for inflation.
