.. they've been sitting on Tiananmen Square footage in a closet for 40 fucking years?
WATCH: Britain’s ITN has released ~4 hours of previously sealed 1989 Tiananmen footage — filmed by the team that smuggled the tapes out of China.
The material, archived for ~35 years, includes a 2-hour crackdown compilation and 90 minutes of secretly filmed raw rushes from the days after, showing military trucks on Beijing streets, crowds, and the aftermath.

Anyone who feels this way can’t do simple math. No one my age thinks we’re going to get social security. We all know we’re paying for a socialist program destined to run out of money long before we get to retirement age. Not only should our taxes NOT be raised, but we should be able to opt out entirely AND our taxes should be cut. I’d have far more saved for retirement by investing all the money that I’ve paid into social security. It’s criminal that I’m forced to pay into something that I’ll never get unless I ask my kid’s generation to go into crippling debt to pay for my retirement. The whole thing fails unless you get a new group of people to pay for the previous group. And by the way, that’s the definition of a Ponzi scheme. I’d go to jail if I ran an investment fund like that. No thanks. Also, I know many boomers who agree with me. I don’t believe this poll is accurate.

"There are a lot of great Boomers out there. But they didn't build this country into a superpower. They brought us the sexual revolution and the divorce epidemic and mass migration, and plunged the country into trillions of dollars of debt in the process. They will leave the country much poorer and less stable than it was when they inherited it. That's just a fact."

Nobody is taking away Social Security, but if they did, you would vote for communists in a hissy fit and burn down the country that your grandchildren will have to inherit? That's morally indefensible, obviously. Childish and petulant. Demanding that the government steal from young people the way it stole from you, and threatening to destroy everything if they don't, is such an abhorrent position that I'm surprised you aren't too embarrassed to say it publicly.
Usually I agree with you and I’m a staunch Republican but if you take away my Social Security I’m a Democrat for the first time in my life. I spent my entire life planning for retirement with Social Security a major part of it and paid into the systems as a young person so that the older generation could have some support
I’ll make a deal with you, pay me back every penny I put into it and every penny my employers put into it on my behalf at 5% interest and you can take away the monthly checks.

I wish people realized what the long game with TPM 2.0 being required in windows 11 is all about. Not only is that information shipped off to Microsoft to track your computers activity along with the GDID and other unique info.
But anticheats, game studios, other types of software, etc gather this information as well. And since most companies make more money off selling your data to third parties they have a vested interest in tracking you and your activity as well and reselling it to governments and other companies.
Imagine how these "bans" for everything from cheating, piracy, EULA/ToS violations, etc will disrupt and harm peoples lives in the future at the wider scale
Banned from Xbox?? Well now you can't login tommorow for Work or 95% of tech jobs at companies because they require windows, Microsoft 365, etc. And you never can again cause your banned at the identity level.
Banned from steam? Now you lose all your games and can never purchase a game through steam ever again for life.
Banned from google? Now you lose your email, YouTube access, google access, files in google drive, Gemini activity, etc all alternate accounts and their data and every site/service dependent on these emails is now permanently in limbo. Your phone suddenly loses access to authenicator, to your phone backups, to google photos, and becomes a glorified paper weight, and your unable to own a stock android ever again.
TPM, Secure Boot, etc will be the enforcement mechanisms at the OS and hardware layers down the line for attestation, "lock in", etc.
Anon buys a used CPU, Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and then finds out that “Valorant” and other Riot games won’t start, because the previous owner of the CPU was a cheater, thus the CPU ID/serial number got blacklisted in their system ☠️

Riot hardware bans last a maximum of 4 months, are game-specific, and do not automatically blacklist unrelated components, per Riot's head of anticheat; support provides remaining time and allows review requests in most cases. x.com/deteccphilippe… support.riotgames.com/league-of-lege… support.riotgames.com/en-us/riot/per…

Young white guy here. 22% of my income gets stolen from me every year to give welfare to boomers that hate me and foreigners that hate me.
I have not been the beneficiary of a federal or state welfare scheme my entire life. I am not alone. Why am I the villain?

This sort of stuff really gets under my skin. I have worked my ass to get where I am in my 20s. I am financially responsible on a large salary yet cannot afford to buy a home and start a family.
My pay is significantly garnished to provide a life for others I myself do not get.

Do not prove the efficiency of replacing silicon with brains
You will not like where it leads to
FRUIT FLY BRAIN MINES BITCOIN AT POTENTIAL 10X ASIC EFFICIENCY
Introducing HashFly by @FutureBit, an experimental Bitcoin miner based on a reconstructed fruit fly brain using 2,914 real neuron connections to run SHA-256.
The team says that if the system could be scaled using actual organic neurons, it could theoretically hash at roughly 1 W/TH, around 10x more energy efficient than leading 3nm silicon ASICs.
For now, it’s an experiment. But biologically inspired Bitcoin mining is officially a thing.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claims describe a humorous meme visualization of simulated fruit fly connectome data deciding minimal SHA-256 attempts, not a real experimental miner or product by FutureBit.

We’ve never seen anything like this before. A man was conscripted into jury duty by the government. He performed his civic duty and followed his conscience, refusing to acquit a woman who confessed to systematically executing her three children. The defense attorney immediately launched a public smear campaign against the juror. Soon several other jurors joined the campaign. Then the media. Even the defense attorney’s wife has joined. Now they’re doxxing the man, digging into his past, contacting his family, showing up at his house. All of this both to punish him for refusing to go with their program, and to pollute any future jury pool by making it clear that anyone who votes to convict Clancy will have their life destroyed. It’s truly one of the most outrageously evil things we’ve ever seen from the Left, and that’s saying something. A direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. They are burning down every boundary and standard in their path. And doing it all for the sake of a child murdering psychopath. Unfathomable.

The Second Amendment does not apply to semi-auto rifles.
It does not apply to bolt action rifles, pistols, or revolvers.
The Second Amendment restricts government.
The technology of the firearm is irrelevant.
The restrictions on government remain the same, regardless of the firearm.
The Second Amendment was not written to grant permission for citizens to own and bear firearms.
It forbids government interference in the right to keep and bear arms, period.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
