A chicken in every pot after they've enslaved everyone, or sent everyone to camps, or got everyone on a control grid, or forced us to use particular language. Sure, then we can have our chicken....
All very accurate... but what about when 2022/2023 rolls around, and the gatekeeper forums suddenly morph into rabid, fanatical Tulsi/liberal/woman-president supporting enclaves? The current...
The music has stopped. A glass has smashed in the corner of the ballroom. The dancers masks are off, and they are staying off. It's fairly civil but there is a deep , unbridgeable, soul-level,...
I know godlikeproductions and prisonplanet often block whole blocks of IP addresses, including countries. I got caught up in their bans a few times. It's a shame that boards like this have to block...
Hey Bob....data-mining and torture. They sound like swell folks. Your story just confirms what many of us have realized for a while... that forums are under heavy, heavy surveillance. If the push for...
Speaking of DDOS attacks, I just signed up for Protonmail. I have a really privacy conscious friend, and he gets annoyed if I contact him through gmail. Both Protonmail and Tutanota both look...
Here is that thread, as requested. It gives some insights into how subtle the handling/influencing process is.

Good day. I am a...
Appreciate that reply as usual Aragorn. I am finally starting to get over burnout. We can take the tempo of this thread down. Will reply in 4-5 days. I work weekends.
I always loved Bowie in Labyrinth... Dance magic dance... Intriguing song. I used to play it over and over.... could never get my students into it. Those keyboards, those spiky, yearning, chords......
Thanks for those words Sam. Your casual question magically triggered a medium-sized avalanche of feelings that I'd bottled up for a while. That long post actually took 3-4 hours to write, all told....
Now I have some more time...Do you have much experience with DDOS attacks Aragorn? I guess everyone's nightmare is waking up with a huge server bill.

There must be a synthesis of dark and light, I guess. But on whose terms will it be?
You seem to be doing some good over there, Aragorn. I know first hand how psychically heavy it can get on any...
Of course not my liege, everyone knows it's a torus.

Cheers Chris. Yeah, just got to get all those dusty feelings out in the open. In California, when they want to de-stress, they go hit pillows and scream, I heard. I prefer to just write it out. To be...
That is very accurate Fred. Yes I don't blame anyone. It is what it is. I'll go edit the more over-the-top sections of my post out now. I just needed to splurge that out. Thanks for listening...

Right now I'm in a rest phase, and I don't really have the energy to go through the details of the Project Avalon debacle in detail.Maybe posting every...
Well. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. But facts come first, opinions later.
- Turiya donated to Project Avalon, he admitted it on this board. He posted right wing propaganda and even...
I don't begrudge anyone donations. I think donations and selling online is healthy. I can't stand it when people get sniffy about money changing hands. International websites cost a lot to run, as we...
Thanks for that write up Aragorn, it is most useful. I will reply more in depth when I have more time, as you have brought up many interesting points. The Unix info basically gives me a roadmap for...
