A lot of the photos are New Yorkers. They look older because of all the pollution living there, aa well as a lifetime alcohol and drug abuse.

Re:State Water Official Who Delayed Water Release Has Been Reassigned

My favorite DEI kook so far, in this government clown show surrounding the fires in Hawaii was Manuel, deputy director of the Department of Land and Natural Resources, who refused to authorize the release of water to fight the fires.
Manuel believes that all water is holy you see, and firefighters needed to check with the village elder to 'get permission'
"Manuel demanded that the West Maui Land Co. get permission from a ‘taro’ (also called ‘kalo’), which happens to be a native Hawaiian traditional farm located downstream from the company’s property and used water as its main cultural resource."
We should expect more and more of these clowns in positions of responsibility moving forward:

Finally! I've been waiting for this to finally happen.
"randomly disconnecting from their host" has been going on for years.
...and while it's comical watching various people running around in circles on various tech support sites, being told to "update their drivers" or "modify their power settings"
I'm happy that perhaps consumers will finally get some justice, and force these idiots to QC and properly support their products.

What do you think? Did evil white colonialism cause these fires, or did the morons in the Democratic party cause it through negligence?

Trying to leave slavery is against the law, and those who helped slaves escape were imprisoned.
Escaped slaves had bounties placed on their heads and were often captured and placed back with their owners.
Fugitive slave laws
https://infogalactic.com/info/Fugitive_slave_laws
Now do you see how preposterous your point is? It's important not to live in a far left shithole state, where property rights are not taken seriously, and which do not have stand your ground laws.
(also, your link has nothing to do with squatters, it has more to do with laws surrounding intruders. In Texas the homeowner would not have been charged.)

We now have a decade worth of large platforms removing wrong-think content and then claiming it was all a big mistake.
Why is the Washington Post never "mistakenly" deplatformed?
Perhaps some day scientists will resolve this mystery.

the only thing I concede is that there is a gray area, the in between, as you put it... but aside from that gray area in between, large corporations do not have rights. the end.
I understand that libertarian logic uses gray areas as a means to an end of furthering their ideology, but that is not an issue for me.

If you use a misleading headline, then that is not my problem. I skimmed the article as the New Yorker is an overly verbose rag read by sesquipedalian obsessed pseudo-intellectuals.
Actually, YOU have just made an excellent point unintentionally, not everyone has the time or desire to read a long article. IF you prefer more longform content, then you can go to any number of platforms which specialize in that.
Twitter is what it always was, a quick take or bite-size morsel of information.

"It’s time to move beyond the flawed idea of a global conversation platform."
### Translation:
- A global platform is too difficult for governments to control
- Media companies hate being held accountable by the unwashed masses.
- Cal Newport, the author, is a typical crank of the type which worships at the alter of establishment nonsense, and misuses language to obfuscate his fascism.

The state of Debian based GUI's is a joke. I tried to do a simple task you could do in both Windows and iOS, I wanted to change the name of a file by just clicking on it and could not do it. I had to press some stupid key combination. It's just sad that such a promising distro has the same issues as every other Linux distro, utter and complete unusability.

IF you ask someone to leave your property, and they refuse, shooting them dead is 100% the virtuous thing to do.

Squatters should be shot dead. If you cannot do it yourself, you should hire someone else to do it. Afterwards you can claim the home was being invaded.
There is no reason following an unjust law. Squatters are vermin like cockroaches, and should be exterminated as such.

There won't be any reward for you, or opportunity to say I told you so, after Mint reveals the shocking news they were hacked X number of years from now.
So, I'm giving it to you now. This is just smart and logical. You do not need technical proficiency to reason out the risks, or the daily "12yo exploits MOST-SECURIST-EVER IOT device in 20 minutes" articles.
With that said, without public support, and government laws, this is a losing battle.
Equifax had no authorization from you to collect and distribute your financial data, but they did it anyway, and your financial services sent them the information. And of course, not surprised, their criminal negligence, revealed EVERY SINGLE ACCOUNT to hackers. Let's be real, when the news for stupids spins the story in this manner:
Equifax data breach: The number of victims may be impossible to know
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/09/17/equifax-data...
It means that the number was so great as to be unspinnable, so they went with another narrative, "Nobody knows" like dark matter, it's impossible, our scientists are trying but it's impossible....lol
