They are fast-growing plants, with a growth rate of up to 1.6 metres (5.2 ft) per day.[5]

holy shit

their useful idiots

looks like this service has one in you

smells like the mobile data isnt honoring the split tunnel dns comin from the vpn. the mobile provider is doin some funny business with your dns on that device

this is the kind of thing old people on facebook think is funny. its just so incredibly banal

i prefer to call them what they are ‘human killing devices’.

for example; its ludicrous that american police are armed unnecessarily with human killing devices their entire shifts. it just demonstrates their cowardice and incompetence with regards to policing.

even if you find a method… whats your exit strategy? its inevitable that you will be unable to use it in the near future without an account, just like facebook.

i like the one about how the gov of georgia barely ‘won’ an election, and then had the servers with all the votes immediately wiped because he was also the election commissioner… because presiding over your own election isnt a conflict of interest for some reason in georgia

i love gluetun so very very much. easily my favorite containerized product

remember that 88 million people who can vote, dont.

many of those that did vote are under a veil of propaganda. theyre not all rabid maga racists. its been proven that one-on-one interaction with adversaries can often change their minds. its just a slow, painful process.

right, i agree the idea is revolting… but the old man at the dog park who only watches fox news isnt inherently evil. hes brainwashed. hes a fellow human who if shown the light would absolutely change his tune. to abandon those people is to abandon civilization.

sure thats not everyone, but its enough. we just need to show them the truth… that theyve been lied to and actually do have a choice.

treating every conservative voter as you would trump himself is absolutely painting in black and white.

if you disavow every company contributing to the republican party/trump you might as well sell all your belongs, and learn to live off grid. no internet access, no power, no retail.

we just dont live in a black and white world. its lovely shades of depressing grey gradients.

i enjoy not getting threatening letters from my ISP about downloading shit.

thats america, always focused on the important things like naming post offices and national whatevers.

still have the dead-kid tax required to keep the 2nd amendment alive and well.

reminds me of the artistic term trompe l’oeil which is a phrase that means “deceive the eye”

best to play both worlds until one overtakes the other. they both still have a place currently.

theres more than one pic? ive only seen this one where hes smilin

i thought the idiot mayor of ny leaked that they knew his name but werent releasing it yet.

check out gluetun

might help. i use it for setting a torrent container to use an openvpn container as its only outbound

ive noticed several communities being moved off of .ml because of overacting mods shitting their own beds (my fav movies comm being one of them). kinda the whole point of the 'verse. i also noticed a recent sync in-congruence from .ml to .world which indicates some kind of funny business… purposeful or not

the locals at .ml seem to have this notion that theyre too big to fail, which is patently not true considering the tiny size of the fediverse overall.

id recommend users utilize a ‘home’ instance thats more of an onramp than local-content curation… (https://moist.catsweat.com being in this category) they tend to not defederate from any instances so users can easily switch subscriptions when shit goes sideways in the content-heavy servers without making new accounts.
