I think this is huge news, but I'm surprised that not many people seem to care or just brush it off because there's no smoking gun (authentic videos, photos, etc.). The best we have are the Navy videos that the Pentagon released a while back.

If you want to dive into the rabbit hole, here are some stories from people who have supposedly worked on these retrieval programs:

I wouldn't be surprised if people like this now start to come forward to Congress. Ross Coulthart seems to know of others that want to talk.

Some of the implications of this shit is scary as hell and I don't think our governments will use any of this technology to "help people" or "advance the human race". They just use it to build better bombs and craft to kill "the other guy" (China, Russia, etc.).

You have the correct idea. Previously I used XFS. Shure for torrent storage I use loop with btrfs. For USB fat32... for old hardware and OS'es. I forgot what Hammer (Dragon Fly bsd) is used for or if I ever use it (I gave up on DragonFly because of ransom crap attention). Just make sure you have hardware disk encryption (all motherboard manufacturers have it but don't give it with default BIOS) to prevent watermarking.

The issue should be fixed now, regardless of whether your browser sends a preference for the light or dark theme. Previously, if your browser requested the light theme, some of the font colors were off. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Just talk to the people who spend years going to Africa to build infrastructure and schools to teach them and see what they have to say about this. They are mostly incapable of being schooled and they tend to destroy the stuff you build for them.

If a country is a shithole, it's because of the people living in that country. Africa is pretty much the jackpot as far as continents go. No harsh winters and there's plenty of everything. When white Europeans used to live there it was ancient Egypt and a prosperous civilization. The places with white Europeans are still prosperous civilizations.

There is no magic earth. It's all the people. Hundreds of years a go a German dude (Johann August Sutter) went to California and made a prosperous settlement inside of a desert by redirecting mountain water.

Murders of a particular race can be correlated with many factors--perhaps say poverty or drug usage or even extreme wealth or lately "being a rich Russian billionaire." Why those factors exist might be spiritual, economic, self-caused, other-caused, or a whole slew of sociao-political reasons. The bottom line is, if you want to see it as race alone, that's how you are going to see it, but that isn't really science talking. More likely, it is some "liberal academic conditoning" talking, which often masquerades as science.

What I defined are the pieces that constitute an actual scientific study. What you are trying to make a case for is correlation between murder victims and color. You are confusing "fact" with "Correlation" which is a huge scientific no no. You posted facts. The "pattern" to the numbers could come from any number of factors which may or may not be race related.

Nah. Those facts are a reflection of statistical measures of people who get murdered without any operational definitions defining what "murder" is. Skin color, on the other hand, is a measurable difference that people readily detect and foolishly base conclusions upon.
