I was in M2-XFE. That whole experience certainly taught a lot about the power of narrative and propaganda. And the later blockade showed what leadership failures look like.

And they think everyone just ate the WMDs in Iraq thing. No, I was there at the protests. Many of us knew it was a bullshit excuse.
The only thing Iraq and Al Qaeda had in common was the Q. We knew that then.
They can sell colors and themes as DLC! Cosmetics for your home!
When are they blocking Firefox?
If you can open it, they can open it. There’s not much of a point if it’s something you can undo.
US GDP 2022 was $25.46 trillion.
I would make sure the firmware can’t be updated. Uninstall the Hue app for sure.
If you do, do it for Jordan Klepper’s wit. It’s truly impressive how fast he comes up with these and how deft he is at it.
I could do it in writing over an hour. He does it on the fly in seconds and is able to manage the conversation at the same time. It’s incredible.
