@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @VeroniqueB99 Yeah I know that one too. One that describes me in part is.

It's not getting enough attention that the Trump administration has banned the sale of ALL WiFi routers made outside of the US. It's one of the first steps required to control Americans' use of the Internet, to spy on what you're doing online, to suppress information they don't want you to see and to even turn off the Internet at their discretion.
This is looking increasingly like a trap.
FCC imposes sweeping ban on foreign-made routers, affecting all new models
Trump admin to decide which router makers get exemptions from FCC import ban.

@VeroniqueB99 can't wait until they discover how much of the government infrastructure (and their personal stuff) is not made in the U.S. because we don't make shit anymore thanks to the same techbros that are lobbying for this crap so they can tighten their grip on All The Datas.
That, and there's no way that they can possibly enforce this. I figure that if it really becomes a problem, I'm gonna learn how to build routers and start my own little business. It'll be made right here in the good ol' U.S. of A.!

@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @VeroniqueB99 I think we see much the same thing. It's what brought me into this silly social media, not this one but a past couple. Simply to make a few think. . .

Don't set your hopes too high. IQ's in here are not as high as they might seem.

A lot of hate and irrationality in here, too. Maybe more than the reasonable or intelligent people. Just sayin'.
I've been banned more times than I can easily remember and it's only been a little over a year.

you correct someone in here that says something that is factually incorrect and you get a fire hose torrent of hate directed at you.
It's not the same world as the old days. People have thin skins, delicate egos, fragile thought bubbles, and a xenophobic mentality towards new thoughts, ideas, even to plain facts. Same people who laugh at MAGA and Qanon.

@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @VeroniqueB99 Good on you. I left when they(the ominous they) wanted more selfies of me to prove I wasn't a bot after I'd been there 8 or so years . . . Sorta leaving me to think of facial recognition stuff . .

that hateful message arrived about 8 mins ago. The trick is they send you a hate message, then delete it so you see it for an instant if you are looking, but because it's been deleted, there is no trace of it on the sever logs. I've had death threats, been told that I am in league with Epstein, that I am a pedophile.. the outrageous hyperbole knows no bounds in here, to say nothing of the hatred.

I haven't seen much to that degree. I have seen where people are not paying attention to what is really happening. Like they have their own fish to fry, can't talk to that other. . . -

yeah fuck that jazz. the fedi has serious design flaws, and at the moment the inmates are running the asylum. I'm a free speech absolutist.. you are free to say whatever, be it true or lies, and I am free to mute or block you, quietly. There should be no banning online.. just good block & filter tools. That was the ethos in the old days. It's been washed away in the flood of woke.

bobthetraveller posted this.. it sounds just crazy enough to be a good idea..
but what about those regions with canals?
I mean I would suggest travelling this way in the USA to some places but definitely NOT others.

it is other people's anger and rage that are the problem here.. as you can see from the screen shot.. I don't send these to myself.

@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @VeroniqueB99 No I got it. . and we certainly have enough of it in the world of today. Fear, Fear is what I see most of that as. . . Something that the GOP has learned to use well. Nixon perfected it in the 70's just adding to what McCarthy tried in the 50's to end "freedom of speech".

Yes, there is a very McCarthy-esque repressive tone to the woke movement of recent years, but the left version of it. Sadly the kids today are too young to remember and too ignorant of history to know this about what they are doing. Free thought is not allowed. Troubled times. Who knew it'd come to this?

I sent her a message in the thread.. if she doesn't like my posts then block me please..
then I blocked her, so it's a moot point now, but message sent for any other eyes that see the post.
