So he just got lucky in that his stopover was in one of the few countries on Earth that wouldn't extradite him? What a coincidence.

Is that why he was at the Russian consulate in HK a few days before, and in constant contact with the lawyer from Wikileaks (a Russian Intel cutout)?

Come on.

> Edit: if they can roam freely they are also a threat to many other life forms and bio diversity

They are the most prolific mass murderers of animals in the western world. My vegetarian (cat owning) friend got very upset when I pointed this out.

Seriously, I get enough passive aggression from coworkers and romantic partners, why would I want more?

> You gotta earn it with a cat.

Do I detect catholic guilt ?

This says a lot about their romantic life, too

Sure there is, once you have your basic needs met, you opt-out of any further status games.

It's not, anyone that uses that term or "Mainstream media" can instantly be dismissed.

Also I noticed with the latest upgrade they added the date the photo was taken on the screen, a small but very cool improvement.

So I guess they are still upgrading and paying attention to older models ?

Marketers are a waste, let the engineers run product teams. /s

I hate that you can't browse media on your iphone while broadcasting to your appletv. Any video that comes up will take the place of what's playing on your TV

Exactly, I love having my own photos as a screensaver with my current Chromecast.

Exactly. So much of the stress of unemployment and other aid is knowing that whatever rhythm you manage to find, it will only be temporary.

> If podcasts were solely promotions of speakers, no one would listen.

A podcast isn't solely self-promotion, that's like a TV show only with ads. Of course they give you "content" as well. But the purpose, from the perspective of the participants, is to grow your audience. Ie. increase your celebrity. Which is why I thought his advice to avoid celebrity while at the same time actively trying to obtain a greater level of it was p funny.

> Mike Tyson or Bernie Sanders or any other guest on Joe Rogan's podcast doesn't need further promotion.

Yet they go on for specific promotional purposes. Mike was returning to fighting, Bernie was in the middle of his campaign for President.

> If you're a guest on Joe Rogan's podcast you already are a celebrity.

Again, this has nothing to do with seeking further recognition / celebrity.

> To state the obvious: people listen to Joe Rogan podcast because they are interested in what the guests have to say

Ok you're just repeating the same thing over and over.

Which is, of course, a basic contradiction. What "thought leader" has any significant platform without celebrity ?

My favorite is when he advised people on Joe Rogan to "not promote yourself and don't try to obtain celebrity".

Podcasts are of course unpaid and solely made to promote the speakers.

Right so it just encrypts DNS requests, which is what 1.1.1.1 does. What does this app provide that is additional to that?

Multiple (confirmed) cases, meaning there are many more that are missed. https://www.statnews.com/2020/08/28/covid-19-reinfection-imp...

It's not a full VPN, it doesn't reassign an IP or pass through all traffic, right? Just DNS requests.

So how is it different?

How does that explain repeat illness (not via testing but someone that is in hospital once month and back the next?)

Also there's substantial proof COVID19 antibodies don't last forever, in some cases only a few months.

This article is riddled with questions.

What is the difference between running this app and adding 1.1.1.1 to your network settings?

> Are you arguing about the perception of a narcissist, or your own?

"Symptoms include an excessive need for admiration, disregard for others' feelings, an inability to handle any criticism, and a sense of entitlement."

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-...

I get that you enjoy splitting hairs to confuse an otherwise simple discussion, but I don't.

> There's plenty of inconsistency to go around.

"The response wasn't perfect so shut down all current and future attempts to save lives."

Cool.

That's one trait of narcissism, the main one is thinking that the world begins and ends with you. A virus doesn't begin and end with you (by definition), so any argument about self-determinism/control is a red herring meant to distract from what is happening. Wearing a mask isn't about you, the same way that a virus isn't interested in infecting one host. It about communal safety, not yours.

> COVID inspired woke-scolding is more narcissistic.

I have a feeling you would say the same thing with or without a deadly virus ravaging your country.

> I'm confused, if the participants wear a mask, will the virus be transmitted or not?

Well, if it's an illegal place what are the odds they follow CDC protocol?

Just open things up with strict masks / disinfectant / distancing rules and heavy fines for violators.

I mean, most companies are mobile companies now, and the app is the only thing that matters to them.

How did "do three things to prevent mass death" (distance, mask, wash hands) become "we're all going to die anyways so i'll keep doing whatever I want thank you."

Is America really that filled with narcissists?

> against mail-in ballots because they are subject to all sorts of interference.

Quite the opposite, mail in ballots create an irrefutable and unfalsifiable paper trail for each vote.

Republicans (and Trump) are against them because they know the more people vote (ie. the more democratic America is) the less chance they have at winning.

The Lincoln Project counts no elected officials as members. Come on.

Most users will never feel any change despite who owns it, unless MS pull a FB and inject multiple streams of ads into it overnight.
