How about a Grim Fandango movie? Or a Sam & Max or Monkey Island movie?

1. Horrible abuse from media and devs since before I was born.

2. No one ever has infinite time and I totally understand that there are devs that can currently just grab and use if they're employed.

3. I dunno and defer

4. That makes sense on a first glance but the efficiency of profit will prolly never be like that again?

5. new people are born every day

6. First time I ever experienced screen burn was this month.

Location: NW USA

Remote: sure

Willing to relocate: yes to many places but not all

Other stuff: still wanting someone to take me under their wing and teach me how to harness my learning skills to be able to afford rent and utilities and sustenance and such. Willing and able to learn anything that can be presented to me as mutually sustainably beneficial.

Facebook, the CDC... they all suppressed legitimate concern about the most horrible thing during my life-time and even-more-so the younger people that continue to be traumatized by this when they were already in a worse position. John Cena, Daryl Morey, Hunter Biden - a star QB like Drew Brees in the US can't respect the US flag. LeBron James in US territory can't respect the US and can't disrespect the world's only hegemon, the Chinese Communist Party.

I don't have the means to fix very much of our world at all. I'll keep trying, though.

Blackmailing and framing must be easy for people who don't care. From there, I guess it's how well you can cultivate an audience for it?

I wish states had left us alone. Some of the much older abuses are "public" like from Montreal, a few are well known and even joked about, the rest continue to rule the media ecosystem over me. Multiple music videos are released under the name "Billie Ellish" depicting forcible injections and it still doesn't get discussed.

Another lesson for us poor and abused.

Meanwhile, many of us powerless cry ourselves to sleep over widely seen, publicly available evidence that happens to implicate rulers.

Since the patriot act when I was a kid, and now beyond, it's felt worse and worse. Feeling violated every time I remember a particular law is having me inspected.

I did mean to reply to you (72 days ago plus in another thread) I just can't make a Twitter, like I've tried and doesn't like my IP or email addresses or something, not sure

I remember when someone explained here eloquently and inticately explained why Twitter constantly breaks in various ways, such at saying I'm not allowed to see a tweet, but then I merely hit reload and it works... easy fix posted around a year ago at least but still not implemented. Don't hold your breath.

> People who have been laid off talk at me so much more than other candidates.

Because for decades we've been systematically rejected and unable to apply our gifts due to momentary misunderstandings at interviews that just crush our lives like anvils again and again. If someone has enough to pay me enough to afford rent and expenses like internet / water / power andlemme know what I need to learn on top of all I already know and I'll deliver.

I finally am coming to understand I am just one of the millions of faceless idiots that're more and more surely gonna be rendered silenced or abused further or dead. No one has any privacy without at least a remote lot with a Faraday cage, which I don't know a way to ethically come to be able to afford.

New comment by daodedickinson in "YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA"

daodedickinson — Sat, 24 Oct 2020 17:08:47 +0000

This is just the next terrifying development on Planet China. YouTube-dl went unmolested for years. About week ago, I was party to an online conversation a week ago about how youtube-dl is an important tool for archiving videos of public officials before they can be disappeared.

Coincidence?

After the RIAA won a case against Limewire in 2010, the next significant legal action I can find in a bit of looking is that the US Supreme Court ruled against the RIAA in Allen v. Cooper (March 23, 2020).

Here are the opinions: https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/18-877#writing...

I have a lot to look into...

That "belonged to intelligence" line haunts me as well, but I haven't seen it applied to NXIVM.
