I assume most vaccines are pretty safe

They assumed the same https://imgur.com/a/SnNqBGu

Reply to The real issue with Cinch News. by burnerben

Every article is so dumb that I find it hard to believe it's real, but I'm not sure either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

Advertising itself as a centrist news source isn't something I can get mad about. I don't care what it calls itself. The problem isn't that it's a liberal site either. I'm conservative but I have sympathies for some liberal views. The problem is that this is a certain type of liberal that doesn't care about truth at all and only cares about power. If some race is getting credit for something another race did and you have evidence of that, there's nothing wrong with pointing it out. But how much do you have to hate straight white men to take an admired historical figure and say he was a black lesbian with no proof?

Some colleges have told students that they need to get vaccinated by this fall, but others are saying that they won't and don't think they are legally allowed since the FDA has not given full approval for any of the vaccines. They only granted emergency use authorization. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/us-colleges-divided-requiring-student-vaccinations-77016006

It will take longer to get full FDA approval for children getting the vaccine because those studies started later https://www.10news.com/news/coronavirus/in-depth-how-full-fda-approval-would-impact-vaccine-mandates-competition

If they are required before they are approved, that's one way covid vaccine requirements could be different than the existing requirements in many school.

I assume most vaccines (flu, measles, etc) are pretty safe, though I haven't really researched it. But I can see a strong possibility of society getting very dystopian over the next 50 years or so. I see further merging of corporate and government power plus increased interest by governments in genetic modification of citizens. According to John Ratcliffe, China is already attempting to develop genetically modified super-soldiers. Publicly, the US might just create augmented soldiers using other technologies like cyborg tech and exoskeletons, at least at first... But I don't think they would just let China race ahead when it comes to genetically enhancing humans (including enhancements like "obedience to authority"). Covertly or not, they'd want to do similar experiments.

Gene therapy is something that can be done by injections today. I think now is probably a good time to push back on the idea that an injection can be required in order to do normal things like go to school. Any freedom is hard to get back once it is given away and I expect that to become even more true in the future.

Reply to Small, cheap spy satellites mean there’s no hiding place by liminal

I see a lot of neutered 'facts' in the middle of overton window, but what's your take on this, why do you think it's worth emphasizing? Are you happy? That fishes will be protected from those evil unlicensed fishermen, so that they can breed happily to be harvested full force exclusively by the licensed? Are you happy that there will be more workplaces for watchers on those stations? And of course there will be even more workplaces for watchers who watches the watchers, more for noble knights protecting poor france and it's poor defense contractors from horrible atrocities of cybertheft, poor peaceful americans can employ more watchers to protect their glorious democratic homeland from those dirty iranian terrorists and their weaponised speedboats. And legitimate mobile-phone towers finally can protect their legitimate monopolies and remove those filthy unlicensed DIY rogue radio anarchists, ascertain their exclusive domains and sell radio spectrum which those nasty radio pirates dared to use for free. Next benevolent philanthropist charities can track routes of migrants more efficiently to help them get into countries that are in desperate need of multiculturalisation. What a great age we are living in!
Are you happy, liminal?
I think with all-seeing eye high in the sky the world is getting brighter, transitioning from scary darkness to all-piercing heavenly light. The world is getting Illuminated.

Replying to my own thread because I wanted to emphasize the following paragraph, which came to mind after reading the submission about camera sensor fingerprinting (or photo response non-uniformity).

Horizon also plans to compile a library of unique radar-pulse “fingerprints” of the world’s vessels, for the tiny differences in componentry that exist even between examples of the same make and model of equipment mean that signals can often be linked to a specific device. It will thus be able to determine not merely that a vessel of some sort is in a certain place, but which vessel it is, and where else it has been.

Don't know if any user of Ramble has his own vessel, but I guess this form of surveillance based on unique (unspoofable?) differences in componentry will be extended to other fields.

Reply to comment by Yogihni in Reminder: Reddit hates Tor and will lie to you about why you can't login. by Rambler

If I understand you correctly, you suggest that one should create a reddit account

Please don't put such filth in my mouth, I'm against using spynet at all. Reddit actively fights shared accounts and their users http://bugmenot.com/view/reddit.com because it wants to sell your ass to all of it's spynet affiliates. It endorses censorship to make user-made content more appealing for ad companies that will exploit said users. Reddit together with jewkipedia was shilling covais bullshit and censoring truth. So all these old-new-tor-vpn are not solutions, like plastic-silver-gold spoon to eat shit with it. If for some reason you absolutely have to eat shit (your choice), then tor-made account from tor-only is the most hygienic way. Just don't confuse yourself with this fuzz-up strategy: your activity inside walled garden does not deter intellectual rape and tracking, it just produces more activity which attracts further rape victims. Please put your efforts into promoting free environments instead.

Reply to Castlevania The Metroidvanias - Game Sack by Wahaha

Term metrodivaina is a joke because castlevania is jrpg. You can faceroll through anything after grinding enough. Games with decent balance like axiom verge / hollow knight avoid this disgrace and should not be mixed with jrpg shit.

Reply to comment by tranquility in Is Ramble at Yggdrasil down? by tranquility

I'm still trying to figure it out myself...

The Yggdrasil service is most certainly running. The Yggdrasil service is using my own network node/peer for connections, and the other site(s) that use it load without issue. (And RAMBLE was working fine after setting it all back up).

Sure is a head scratcher... Not quite sure why it was working and is no longer working now. I'll review it further as I have more time.

Thanks; I think the same has been happening to me. It doesn't make sense that my pwd manager or I screw up only when handling a few reddit passwords. Maybe I can get back in to my accounts (also compartmentalizing a few interests that reddit doesn't deserve to correlate and track). The particular accounts I am having trouble with were created and now used on the clearnet with a vpn. I still use uMatrix and hope I can remember/find how to shut down javascript to get logged in again.

It's been awhile, but you reminded me to try switching back to "new" (dog shit) reddit to get logged in over Tor. From memory, it might also help during signup. I agree, reddit is a really shitty hassle to use and maintain some basic privacy. What's the best way for one to track the development of increasing, sustaining traffic and new subs at Ramble (grouped list of all f/subRamble's with traffic stats)?

@takeheart, If I understand you correctly, you suggest that one should create a reddit account using Tor and only ever use the account with Tor for privacy and anonymity. At the other end of the spectrum, any two or more accounts on the clearnet without a vpn can be easily associated together and with the IP. A vpn would protect the IP somewhat, but traffic correlation from the vpn servers can link separate accounts, and the user is often de-anonymized.

Would it be helpful to make a subRamble and share some throwaway reddit accounts with passwords to fuzz-up reddit's data? Sometimes it's nice to have option to make a quick comment, answer, or question that doesn't merit reddit's invasive registration and tracking. We could make a group for Tor accounts and maybe another group for vpn accounts.

Alternatively, you can use regex and redirect ^(http|https)://(?:www.)reddit.com(.*) to https://teddit.net$2, https://libredd.it$2 (what I use), or https://kddit.kalli.st$2 (what I used) (note that you need the Redirector addon)

None of those actually good reddit frontends support logging in, but since most of reddit is BS, you shouldn't care (and I don't have a reddit account any more either). Although, what do you mean by:

unless you made your account through tor, your manipulations are meaningless

— do you mean that you can log into your reddit account if you made it over Tor, or if that it doesn't matter if you log in over Tor if you created your account over Tor? Probably the first one, but I don't know.
