Bad phone call with my money manager. Refused to give me access to cash for frivolous Goombling this weekend. Bruh, it's $7500 and I know I pay you to not let me do dumb shit so I never have to work again but it's petty cash. This is why they aren't allowed management of my actual unsupervised bank accounts. I just want to get go and get shit faced drunk this weekend, goomble and make stupid purchases like a new TV and a his triggering point was a butchered cow that they'd butcher and would just put in my garage freezer so I can reduce giving a frick about grocery shopping.

🤫 A story shared by Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, uncovered that the current leaders of Signal, an allegedly “secure” messaging app, are activists used by the US state department for regime change abroad 🥷

🥸 The US government spent $3M to build Signal's encryption, and today the exact same encryption is implemented in WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google Messages and even Skype. It looks almost as if big tech in the US is not allowed to build its own encryption protocols that would be independent of government interference 🐕‍🦺

🕵️‍♂️ An alarming number of important people I've spoken to remarked that their “private” Signal messages had been exploited against them in US courts or media. But whenever somebody raises doubt about their encryption, Signal's typical response is “we are open source so anyone can verify that everything is all right”. That, however, is a trick 🤡

🕵️‍♂️ Unlike Telegram, Signal doesn't allow researchers to make sure that their GitHub code is the same code that is used in the Signal app run on users' iPhones. Signal refused to add reproducible builds for iOS, closing a GitHub request from the community. And WhatsApp doesn't even publish the code of its apps, so all their talk about “privacy” is an even more obvious circus trick💤

🛡 Telegram is the only massively popular messaging service that allows everyone to make sure that all of its apps indeed use the same open source code that is published on Github. For the past ten years, Telegram Secret Chats have remained the only popular method of communication that is verifiably private 💪

How this woke slop got made on Spike TV in 2017 is a little scary.

This is a bit niche but nobody else on the (publicly indexed non-groomercord) internet has asked about it so might as well ask the tards here. I use a pair of 2nd gen airpods (third set I've purchased, they fit my ears better than any of the other ones) and they have some kind of super annoying artificial volume limitation on windows 11. They're about 1/2 as loud as they should be at max win11 system and max application volume vs my iphone. I can get around this with amp software gain boosters but this obviously adds lots of distortion. Has anyone else encountered this or found a solution?

I'm incredibly proud to announce that I've accepted an offer for my dream at @OpenAI

Along with my new colleagues Nick Land and Richard Sutton I'll be helping to usher in a new era in the history of the universe. I'm so excited!

“They never choose the OW.”

1. They already chose us. As in they literally chose a relationship with us and would have continued in that relationship for an unforeseeable future. There are women here who were with their MM for 8 years etc. That's a whole butt relationship ma'am.

1. They generally aren't choosing their wife over the OW. They're choosing their life over the OW (wife + kids + family + history + employment + social circle + status etc…). It isn't surprising.

1. Choosing said life and its obligations over a new life with the OW doesn't negate their love for us or the significance of the relationship we shared. In most cases it would actually be pretty shocking if they did choose the OW. Let's be real.

1. Many married partners would prefer to keep a secondary relationship if they weren't shamed into upholding vows/institutions they happily and repeatedly disregarded. Over and over again. Just like many OW would comfortably continue in a secondary relationship with them and not be “chosen”. Because not every woman wants or needs to be a man's “everything”. See: ‘polyamory', ‘non-monogamy', etc.

1. Not being “chosen” following Dday does not mean they didn't experience greater joy or fulfillment with the OW.

I don't say this to be redundant: no one can convince me this man didn't love me or that the love we discovered wasn't as profound as it was or that he wasn't genuinely unhappy, deeply unfulfilled, fallen out of love and hopeless in his relationship. He truly saw himself fulfilled in a life with me but dday arrived and he's with his SO and I have been erased like it never happened.

I'm sure he saw the “relationship” as something more than

Point being even an MM as unfulfilled as he was and as desperately in love with his OW as he was shut things down to be faithful to his SO. Because this is not a “competition” the OW can really win. We didn't get there first. They didn't make a commitment to us or promise themselves to us for life.

I'm not saying MMs don't love their wives or actually want to reconcile their marriage. They wouldn't reconcile if they saw no value in doing so.

But everybody and their mama wants to come for the OW - seemingly more than they do the MM who betrayed their spouse. You can shame us, devalue and dehumanize us, share our posts and ridicule us to make yourself feel superior and try to counteract your insecurities but we aren't the cause of your troubled institution - we are just a symptom. There are over 154k members in the adultery subreddit for Christ sakes.

It's become evident that the people (predominantly women) who take particular pleasure in hating the OW are motivated by underlying/internalized misogyny which is why a sub called adultery hate has made us its exclusive target.

You're a

It's also the reason the title of the “OW” or “mistress” exists without a counterpart to begin with. The vast majority of adultery hate is reserved for the OW and why? Because on some level you accept that a man engages in affairs because he is a man, and men hold the power. But a woman who engages with that man is a lesser woman: she's dirty she's vile she's unpure she's scandalous. She's deluded. She's a man's toy. She's desperate she can't find a man to choose her etc etc.

Whatever hun

In reality the OW is a symptom of a failing/dishonest/dying/dead marriage and a threat to an arguably unrealistic institution more generally. Adultery will never stop and married men will always be the perpetrator of betraying their union but you will disproportionately hate us because misogyny convinces you to forgive men and because the alternative is admitting those vows didn't mean shit at the end of the day.

We're not these inherently scandalous women who aspire to wreck the homes of unsuspecting wives everywhere. We're regular women - worthy women -who have formed a connection with men who authentically love and/or desire us. Men who for whatever reason were not satisfied in their partnership and it is that dissatisfaction or lack of fulfillment that led them to stray - not the OW. That is the threat to your sacred union. It is internal not external.

“They never choose the OW” but it's the very fact that they chose us that keeps you stalking this subreddit each and every day. You can call us “low hanging fruit” but the man you chose to marry was desperate to gobble us up. Nom nom nom.

MEGA HIT TODAY

forcing someone to remove their medical device (mask) is assault, and potentially murder. This isn’t “the pendulum swinging the other way” No degree of mask requirements was putting your fucking life at risk, but mask bans will ABSOLUTELY kill people. Grow the fuck up.

Removing a mask is “ potential murder “?

You can't be serious 🤦🏼‍♀️

Well, each time I get covid, I become more disabled. Yes, covid could probably kill me now.

I know you don't believe it hurts you, but not all of your organs have pain receptors. You may not even know you have internal damage.

When it becomes too bad, you'll know then.

Well I truly hope you're ok.

As a nurse I would advise you not to get any boosters.

The medical community isn't being up front with it patients.

I wish you well

Nice, you didn't even listen to me. I GOT DISABLED FROM BEING SICK WITH COVID, nothing to do with the vaccines.

The first time I got covid was BEFORE THERE WERE VACCINES.

You're a terrible nurse and should quit before you harm someone

Harm them how? By being truthful.

Why do people like you get angry at the truth?

Strange

The truth is vaccines (attenuated/dead virus and mNRA) have done way more good than harm. >>> Trust science, it has more truth than your conspiracy rhetoric.

You do realize the “vax” didn't even pass clinical trials. Why do you think they pushed it through for EU.

Not to mention they have 100% immunity from adverse reactions/deaths.
