JS dev here. One of the things I really like about this site is that it is usually fast even when using the tor network.

Of course, for the best security, people should always have JavaScript disabled when using tor, but tor with JavaScript enabled is better than nothing and some people may use the site that way.

I noticed in the Reddit enhancement suite code that DeusExMachina posted, they are using typescript and lodash.

I would consider using vanilla JavaScript to minimize bloat for people who use anonymity networks. Some people who are really into privacy deliberately only use old computers too. So maybe just use the compiled JavaScript generated by the typescript. (It won't be as easy to read as the typescript though) Or use the typescript as a guide and write some similar code from scratch. Lodash isn't necessary either.

Are you still looking for help with this feature request or are you already on it?

Reply to Police officer killed and suspect shot dead after vehicle attack at US Capitol by Rambler

“The U.S. Government is the #1 enemy of Black people!" a caption on one video read. In another post on the Instagram account, Green wrote last week that he believed Farrakhan had saved him "after the terrible afflictions I have suffered presumably by the CIA and FBI, government agencies of the United States of America."

Responding to a comment on that post, Green wrote, “I have suffered multiple home break ins, food poisonings, assaults, unauthorized operations in the hospital, mind control.” https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/capitol-security-threat-04-02-21/h_ffa25ab3eab707b711515c0c863c887a

Seems like he was mainly motivated by these beliefs rather than Nation of Islam.

The continued existence of agencies like the CIA, FBI and NSA is just bad for the mental health of anyone who knows enough about what they're capable of and what they have been responsible for. It's especially bad for anyone with schizophrenia or schizotypal personality disorder. But even for normal people, it's bad. "The government is collecting information about me and they might use something against me later" should be a paranoid delusion, not a real thing.

I think most people who think they are being gang stalked are schizophrenic or schizotypal. But I'm guessing at least a few normal people have been experimented on. Any intelligence agency would be interested in science of torturing someone in an untraceable way that drives them crazy. The "sound attacks" in Cuba back in 2017 is an example of some government using an untraceable method to harass people at a distance.

I read one explanation on a website about gang stalking. It described a scenario similar to this.

You go to the grocery store, and someone who passes you is looking you in the eyes angrily while clicking a pen". You go out to your car after paying and in the parking lot, you see a different person angrily looking you in the eyes while clicking a pen. You go to a restaurant. A customer at a table across from you is angrily looking at you in the eyes while clicking a pen.

I thought, you know, since the government can easily track people through their smartphones, this wouldn't be that hard to pull off. And it would even make a normal person really paranoid. They would start getting nervous any time they see someone holding a pen or clicking a pen. They might start noticing a lot of coincidences that are benign, like a series of people wearing red.

Reply to What do you think this was? Weird experience with the death of someone close. by Rambler

Rambler, I came back here to read the new posts and noticed that the way I phrased my previous post was insensitive. It could be read to mean that I think you might be lying or delusional so I'm sorry about that. I believe you and your post really made me wonder how it could have happened

TBH I do have doubts about the friends and family who have told me about paranormal experiences though. In every case, they have either been very religious, having mental issues, or both. Not that there's something wrong with being religious, but I think in general religious people are less likely to look for natural explanations. And even good religious people have an incentive to lie or exaggerate sometimes because they are trying to literally save souls from eternal torment.

The guy who told me about seeing the sign in the form of an animal was very religious and also once told me that he has five or seven personality disorders or some number like that. I have religious family members who report experiences with ghosts and demons. I think they were probably hallucinating and/or misinterpreting noises.

I brought up the credibility issue because I'm guessing you are similar to me, in that you've heard of paranormal events from other people before but weren't convinced enough to start believing yourself. Obviously, someone close dying while you're not there with them is not a good experience at all. But I think for skeptics, there is a positive side to experiencing something which is hard to explain. There is probably a basic human need to believe in something more, but if you are a skeptic who has only had ordinary experiences, it can feel irrational to search for it.

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not going to talk about Raddle while saying it's good. (okay, you didn't really say it's good, but you're suggesting to me a bit) Not only Raddle is heavily leftist, it's also of the bad type, which is the “social justice warrior” type. So please, don't use it. Although, maybe I could add Ramble to the list if I write a comment or an e-mail. (I would complain about them using ProtonMail, but uhh, I use it too… that would make me a hypocrite)

Okay, here's an anomaly: I followed that link, got to the list of alternate forums ( https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/forum-list.html ), checked to see if Ramble was on it ... got to a site that looks like this one, active forum, called Raddle. No listing for Ramble. There's probably a whole bunch of alt-universes through Tor ... is there a Razzle, Raggle, Raddle... ? Seems like there should be more crossovers.

Reply to What do you think this was? Weird experience with the death of someone close. by Rambler

To start off, it's probably best if you throw this away and don't read it, because you probably don't want to know how this works. "Foreknowledge is the flowering of the Dao. But it is the flower of folly. The wise man takes the fruit, and leaves the flower!" But if you must...

Every sentient organism experiences two related phenomena: free will, and qualia. These two things are temporal inverses of one another, and they both result from precognition. Picture a machine can read a ticket with a number printed on it, and print out a ticket with the same number a minute before. If you take the ticket you got out of the machine in the past, back into the machine in the future, you create a loop. No law of physics says what to put on the ticket. No random numbers are generated to decide the value. Yet there is a value. Where does it come from? Outside the universe. It is a boundary condition. When you do it that way, it's free will. But you could also resolve to write your own number on the ticket. You get a ticket out of the machine that matches your number. Then you put either ticket in the machine. That's qualia. You are taking information out of the universe that goes into the loop. This is I/O for the universe, basis of sentience.

Now normally people don't suffer from precognition in their daily lives. Why? Because it's dangerous. And it causes all kinds of annoying little syndromes. The things that stick out are bad things - like someone dying - and if you see them before they happen, maybe they happened "because" you saw them. Note causality is bunk - there is only one future - yet which universe we live in is the result of free will as we experience our other dimension of time moving through the parallel universes, but I digress.

Some free thinkers may get the unfortunate notion to try to suppress the repression mechanism in the brain that stops them from remembering the future. (It is just like remembering the past in operation) Additionally, judging by massive gyrations in the economy, QE, Covid, Hong Kong suppression etc., I am suspicious that some of the people raising brain organoids (fetal brain like things up to 200 days old) are trying to use them to play the market, with predictably awful results. (I don't know that)

Any kind of "magic" or "psi" is a manifestation of precognition, without exception. Dowsers can't dowse if you don't eventually tell them if they were right. And telepaths who think they are getting a message from someone at a certain time have simply remembered hearing the time, and been affected by it when they saw it was actually that time.

The precognition end of the loop is like memory, but it can be painful from excess blood flow. That isn't affected by the emotional importance of the memory but by its technical complexity. Like a "training" method is you try to pull out a result from a search engine using four words that have nothing to do with the search term. Picking the right file out of a million files ... ouch. The retrocognition end feels like a sort of drunkenness. You get this weird sense that you are hallucinating something into reality. Because you actually are.

Paranoia is a defense. You precognition fear very well, and if you remember being afraid you'll get hit by a stray bullet, that competes with the risk you really are, which reduces the notion that you're a walking magnet for pulling something like that in at yourself. Or increases it, in terms of perception.

When two preaks get together, they can do a thing called psiduel where they start weirding each other out. The loser should look at the sky, first thing created or something, I mean, it seems soothing somehow.

Precognitive feedback is when there is a congruity between past and future. Like, you just miss a shuttle bus, and you remember the next time you'll miss it, and ... before long, you literally miss it by a few seconds every single time you go at it, without exception, because past and future are all mixed up.

Precognition is hard to cure entirely. Main method I know has to do with the Diocletan Persecution. It turns out that Christians making the sign of the cross can interfere with precognition. NO idea why that should work, but you may in fact find it effective.

If you are in the mood for a different and seemingly less hazardous psi excursion, try looking outside the frame in your dreams. Our free will comes from comparison between very similar parallel dimensions along the chain of creation. When you dream you're getting chased by a monster, you may actually be sensing thoughts from your parallel-dimension self who is watching that as a movie. Sometimes you might get a bit during the day. You're never far from your self in the parallel dimensions! Try to take down the music, make notes on the architecture... in this era of Covid, the most memorable movies I've seen lately were in a parallel universe. :)
