  • Of course. Funnel all that info to Peter fucking Thiel’s Palantir surveillance company that also has contracts with international law enforcement.

    There couldn’t possibly be any problems with funnelling every bit of panopticon into a single billionaire super lobbiest’s hands. Especially one that has openly stated that he doesn’t believe in the continuation of the human race. Who is the closest thing to a real life vampire, regularly getting blood transfusions from healthy young “blood boys” in a hare brained attempt to prolong his own life at all costs.

    I find it a massive failure of society as a whole that this fucking charlatan wasn’t laughed out of society in the 2010s when he was doing interviews about the “blood boy” bullshit and all the other crackpot shit he was doing to prolong his life. Absolute fucking ghoul. The people in power value money more than sense.



  • I mean this as softly as possible:

    It’s not your job to shout at people online and be negative about things in relation to your personal past traumas.

    You might be intending it as help, but you’re just coming across like a raging asshole.

    This sort of behavior is a sign that you have a lot of shit to work through still. I’d expect that this sort of aggressive admonishing didn’t work on you, and is part of that shit you have to work through. Don’t perpetuate it.

    From: Someone raised by a narcisist anxiety riddled wino with emotional regulation issues, and an absentee emotionally unavailable depressive man with ADHD.

    Not trying any sort of one upmanship, just highlighting that plenty of people have personal traumas. Try to not make it the world’s problem to deal with.







  • If chkdsk has been running for multiple days, your drive is fucked.

    Cancelling it could make it worse, but we’re talking a gut stab and losing a finger vs just being gut stabbed.

    Don’t have that drive powered on more than absolutely necessary. If it’s a HDD in a laptop, don’t move it if you don’t need to, and never while powered on.

    For the best chance of getting as much as possible off it: Get access to another computer and make yourself a USB stick with some live-bootable Linux on it (so it runs all from the USB and RAM and the HDD is only in use when copying stuff off). Get another drive of at least the same size, and use a low level disk copying tool to copy the busted drive to your new one. Most of these tools will overwrite whatever is already on the destination disk. I think dd in Linux will work for this, but it’s been over a decade since I last had to do this, so best to do some research on your own.


  • I had a sip of beer or wine here or there as a kid, but my first “real” drink was shitty vodka mixed with grape juice. Tasted like cough syrup. I was 18, very depressed, hanging out with friends, and up to make poor decisions.

    Later that night I had one mouthful of “Natural Ice” and poured the rest down the sink at some house party we managed to wander into. Don’t know how something can taste like skunk and watered down piss at once, but they made it happen.

    Shocked I drank much at all after that mess of a night. Now I know that I have a recessive genetic liver condition, so no more booze for me, outside of small sips of whatever new craft beer the wife has found.
