And I rode 15 miles round trip to work. Excuses are like assholes.

Completely untrue. You can also take the bus.

Take memes seriously and fight with people on the internet.

This is a big part of the reason why I don’t live in Phoenix.

There’s an “I think you should leave sketch” in here.

YOU DONT OWN THE STREETS!

NOBODY TALK TO HIM.

My local bike club charges $5 if you want to ride with them to the local brewery on Saturday.

I have sidewalks, Greg. Can you Europe me?

And yet this is still many orders of magnitude more sane than thinking Donald Trump is fit to be president.

Y’all trying to get me banned from .ml again. I’m not falling for it.

Pixel dungeon, but it’s not really low stress.

With a VPN, the only real attack vector here is to block the VPN traffic and hope the user disables it or doesn’t notice it didn’t connect. No modern VPN will handshake with a spoofed server so it will just never connect. In some cases, the connection might fail silently enough to fool someone like this, but basically every mainstream app these days is pretty vocal about that for exactly this reason. As of Android 13, the default behavior is never to pass traffic outside the VPN unless the user explicitly turns it off. On other platforms this is dependent on the specific app.

Oh boy does this mean my ability to get free flight wifi by MAC spoofing is about to go away?

You can literally travel to China and find out yourself

Almost all of these “national security” trials are done in complete secret by the Adjudicative Committee, which is a political CCP body that oversees the public legal system. Its exact workings are a state secret, but it generally reviews all court proceedings and defers to the public court for most matters. However for any case which involves foreign affairs or national security, there is a high chance that the Adjudicative Committee will hold a national security trial in secret and deliver the verdict to the appointed trial judge, who will read the verdict into the public record.

You don’t even have to say it. Go hand out “free Taiwan” pamphlets in tiananmen square and I promise you that you will be arrested extremely quickly and tried in secret. Your “trial” will be a judge telling your lawyer the charges, verdict and sentence to an otherwise empty courtroom. If you are very lucky you will be deported with time served.

Sucking Xi Jinping’s salty taint.

Death always to tyrants. Overthrow the CCP. Democracy in Beijing!

Israel would solo Russia ggez.

Well then it’s a really good thing that it’s not just a single nation backing Ukraine.

It’s called defending Warsaw in Kyiv instead of defending Berlin in Warsaw.
