I do believe that everything old was better, everything new stinks, and my feet hurt all the time.

I certainly feel this way, but there appears to be a huge movement in the US that admires the uber-wealthy and sees that their callous disregard for others is a key to their perceived success.

It's scary to me. I see it from executives who think Musk is a role model, I see it from conservatives who see Trump as a role model. It's hard to argue that lack of compassion is not working right now.

Also never marked as a total loss by an insurance company, no flood damage, no questions about accurate mileage, etc.

it seems dangerous that they would explicitly name Lisa Monaco, Benjamin Mizer, and Elizabeth Prolegar as the corrupted DOJ people who support the health insurance cartel over the citizenry.

Yeah, I try jumping around. Some are better than others, but none are great.

I probably need to switch VPNs. I currently use Surfshark and I experience 2 problems, and I want to see if it's unique to that service.

  1. Lots of sites block my traffic because they detect i'm coming from a VPN. And just not like... banks or streaming services, but stupid things like Autotrader.com. It's silly.

  2. The connection always seems to slow down over time, and I have to disconnect and reconnect to get it working at full speed again. I use it on Linux and on Android and the problem happens across devices.

Sounds like Mullvad has some good options.

It's a great product. It is thanklessly maintained by a single developer who is constantly fighting Youtube changes to break it. If you do use it and like it, and you can afford it, please consider a few bucks a month via patreon to keep it alive.

I don't even trust that. Google devices hard-code DNS and IPs and... I have no evidence or knowledge of it, but I assume that they have some Sidewalk-like ability to communicate directly to other Google devices to get outside the network you want them to be on.

I also deny running a congress prostitution ring.

Metal fans are low-brow angry degenerates. I like them a lot.

I've never noticed that a ferengi head kinda looks like he's wearing a fedora already.

Oh, you shouldn't do that.
