A hotel room being "full doesn’t necessarily mean the guest is in the room at that very moment, just that the room us reserved. And given infinite rooms it’s basically guaranteed one of those reservations is for sisyphus

Yep

Hong Kong itself as well as the Kowloon peninsula were actual territories that belonged to the UK after they were ceded to them after the opium wars.

It’s only the “new teritories” which were several smaller islands surrounding Hong Kong island that were part of the 99 year lease.

Even if no effort was made to secure the new territories, we could have and should have defended Hong Kong and Kowloon as part of Britiain, as the people wanted to be either independent or remain British.

Thatcher rolled over and sold their futures to appease China.

When I cum I moan the buddy Holly riff

For all her reputation of being the Iron Lady Thatcher really pussied out of standing up to china on this.

Are you aware you dont need to understand the actual data to build data on a consumer. Even when its end-to-end encrypted proton still know your IP, the IP you’re trying to access, number of packets (data size) your online times etc.

So while they cant read your facebook messages, they know how often, and at what times you use facebook messenger, netflix, youtube etc. And they can turn that into a profile on you that they can sell.

Comparing a completely offline software to a VPN that literally routes all your internet traffic through their own servers is completely apples to oranges.

Oh my sweet summer child.

Remember if a service is free then YOU are the product.

Edit: 🤡: no you don’t understand I like this company, so there’s no way they would ever do something underhanded like literally every other company ever 🤡

Emma is just short for Emmental

Hey the potatoes started the famine we just made it several orders of magnitude worse.

“Oh so you want to punish people that work hard to make a big salary, just for the sake of lazy burger flippers?”

“You make less than $400k, does that mean you’re lazy?”

:(

Israel has literally planned to eventually take over the entire region since before day 1 of it existing. Bibi is trying to get the native population out of gaza 1 way or the other so he can annex it.

Typical American attitude.

That’s MAJOR Dick Bong to you.

Some groups do more crimes? Oh you mean straight men? What do you mean that’s not the same thing?

Ok
