I'm holding a hope that Walz hasn't succumbed to the greed yet. Though I expect Harris has to some degree. Like it or not, there is enough money in politics that most of us could probably be bought eventually, to lesser and greater extents.

The real question is "when?''.

Military leadership in the U.S. has always traditionally leaned pro-U.S. If it came down to it there would be fewer Trump allies the higher up you go. Exceptions though, always exceptions.

Trying really hard to not draw parallels with that scene in Winter Soldier where it's announced that some agents are Hydra while some are SHIELD and they turn on one another.

Why do you doubt it?

With some exceptions the answer is likely very simple:

They aren't denying climate change because they believe it isn't happening, that doesn't matter. They're denying it because they:

  1. Are among others who claim they deny and so they conform or become outcasts
  2. Dislike and fear change they don't understand on a fundamental level
  3. Fear challenging those beliefs because doing so risks admitting a regular part of their life has been lived in the wrong

Eventually these three things combine until denial becomes their natural state.

I got a NEW credit card faster than my bank was able to reissue and send me a replacement debit/credit. By like half the time.

I wasn't aware biometrics were more secure. My info is clearly out of date! Though I was also thinking of the forced unlocking of phones by, er...other people.

Police. I'm talking about the popo.

Good old Tasker should be able to handle the bulk of automating things like an auto-shutdown. Might still need to insert custom code BUT they have a community. A couple searches and verification that you're not being a dumbass and downloading something malicious and wham bam easy - or manually type it out. I dunno. Don't be big dumb.

Tasker ain't obsolete yet, dammit!

Remember, folks! NONE OF THIS MATTERS IF YOU GIVE UP YOUR CREDENTIALS JUST CAUSE SOMEONE CALLED AND SAID GRANDMA WAS INJURED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT.

Yo, if someone could lift my fatass up and tuck me in so that I wake up suddenly in bed one night, I'd be so happy. Soda case optional.

To further protect yourself, you can also:

  1. Formally request that large transactions through your bank be done with you present, in person. Ask if you can set a limit and only if done in person also temporarily lift that limit.

  2. Obtain a credit card. Either you fight to get your money back when fraud hits, or they fight to get their money back. You can guess which team is better staffed. I was procrastinating for ages getting one myself. Then another fraudulent transaction hit. Despite having a fair amount of knowledge in this realm and doing a solid amount of research independently AND reporting it immediately, it still took days to get money actually placed back into my account. AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN with a brand new card within 30 days. Likely the shitty auto update service large organizations can subscribe to, or I got unlucky on a brute force attempt. Either way, a CC will save you this hassle.

  3. Bitwarden.

  4. Passwords only on your phone. No biometrics without a backup plan.

Waaait guys, folks, hold up easy solution to this dilemma:

Why don't you give us the lyrics you are referring to. That should clear this all up, right?

Pretty sure the rock would roll uphill on its own if Drumph came calling.

What businesses want are unethical people, but only towards everyone else. To them you must always be the pretty prim diamond unicorn princess who shit's rainbows and profit.

"Yeah, and judging by how you immediately put down one of your students I suspect you lied to get it."

Look, Donnie, PTSD sucks. Unlike your cult, those of us working against you do want you to seek treatment. Like legitimately. We want you to get better.

But also like fuck off while you're doing that.

Thaaanks.
