It’s weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first… Granted he’s very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.

And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.

then why is it so popular there

Because like many countries whose inhabitants come from a variety of places, you’ve got lots of people interested in their “heritage”

Since most people in the US can’t say their family has been here longer than a couple hundred years, and depending on the area no more than 100 or so, a lot of people wish to know “where they came from” so to speak. DNA testing is just easier than tracing a family tree.

I happen to be lucky enough to have a family member obsessed with genealogy, who traced down the last 1,000 or so years depending on which parts of the family and what areas they’re from, so I don’t need genetic testing to know 99% of my family is white as fuck with a couple POC from different continents and a native back in the 1700s. I don’t feel any particular draw to any culture, nor do I feel like donning traditional garb or participating in holidays, ceremonies, rituals, or customs. Some people do.

I totally get it if it’s not your thing, especially since that kind of mentality of “ooh let’s find out where our families came from” isn’t present in most other places in the world, and definitely not to the same degree even in other colonial areas. Personally I think it’s part of that whole “melting pot” ideology, but I’m just some rando on the internet.

Honestly even without my relative tracing the family tree, I would never have paid to give my DNA to a company for results with questionable accuracy. Shits weird, yo.

I think in this case they would be privateers, as they have government backing.

Semantics though, as privateers are just “pirates with permission to pirate certain groups over others”

Either way, “criminals hijack peaceful convoy bound to deliver aid to genocide victims”

… So you’re saying there’s a chance?

Cool.

The more they focus on trying to kill me, the less resources they have to kill some Palestinian.

It’s getting harder and harder to frame the IDF as the victims.

Similarly, it’s pretty hard to claim you’re the victim when you knocked your neighbor unconscious, dragged them into the basement, and beat them with a baseball bat for the next 24 hours.

The only thing that fully explains the deletion of the photos is opsec, though

“… without any assumptions, regardless of how plausible, bordering on certainty, that the assumption is” I suppose.

know everything about us and would track us down if any hidden or un-deleted photo was ever published.

“if you go back to your country and post anything we will murder you”

Personally I’d just use encrypted backups or data recovery and post literally everything I could, possibly with a taunt calling out the coward who can only threaten people when backed up by billions in military funding and personnel.

That’s the point.

Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.

Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.

The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.

The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.

The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.

But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”

It’s all designed to boost engagement.

If Bob is pissing in the sink, who the fuck cares if Larry The Sink Pisser is saying someone else is pissing in the sink too?

“what about all the sink pissing Larry has done?” is literally whataboutism.

“but what about…”

And if you pay for Premium you get all features and zero ads

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don’t use the official front-end.

As an American, even the ones that aren’t should stay away. Why visit a place where you might get kidnapped by government sanctioned brute squads and sent to a death camp in another country?

They get to send strongly worded letters to formally request that other nations possibly consider the contents of.

Or possibly maybe at some point in the future face slight financial consequences.

They’re protesters with guns that refuse to use the guns to actually help people unless it’s inside the extremely narrow scope of their rules.

When you’re dealing with a person that refuses to listen to anyone around them, holding an intervention is useless. Discussing the problems don’t help unless the person doing something wrong is willing to listen to the people they hate.

No, surely they must mean set on fire.

“FTC personnel want bribes and to give the government time to kill the rule so they don’t have to do anything difficult right now”

New headline.

Honestly there’s no legitimate reason to delay this unless you’re stalling for something.

I’m sure they will.

And as long as none of them try profiting off it, Nintendo has no leg to stand on with their usual C&D bullshit.

The spectacle of it would certainly boost sales for a little bit. How much and whether it covers the development time, who knows.

I’d do it on principle alone, but I’m a petty bitch.

Nintendo can sue me any day, I’m out here making RC hang gliders and making tiny 3 second games where the only purpose is to pull out a glider and put it away instantly.
