amirite?

https://thatoneprivacysite.net/ seems objective, but it is infrequently updated and insufficiently comprehensive, not to mention a bit of a usability nightmare.

There is also the factor that different users have different use cases. A VPN that is perfect for Glenn Greenwald may not be what Joe Schmoe who just wants to hide his porn habit from his ISP needs. It does feel like the market could use some way to figure out which VPNs can be trusted.

So, the questions are:

- What is your VPN of choice? - How did you choose your VPN? - Do you trust your VPN? - And how could you objectively trust your VPN? What would give you that feeling of security?

Key point for this discussion: "In 1993, New South Wales, Australia, commissioned a study to see if a new helmet law for children was increasing helmet uptake. It did—but the researchers also found 30 percent fewer children were riding to school. In New Zealand, where helmet compulsion was introduced in 1994, the number of overall bike trips fell 51 percent between 1989–90 and 2003–6, according to one research paper."

"Meanwhile, it seems that bicyclists wearing helmets may encourage riskier driving by motorists."

Just to be clear, I'm not advocating against wearing a helmet if you DO commute on a bike. As someone who fifteen years ago cracked a helmet instead of his head after falling on some jagged pavement, I appreciate what a helmet can do for you. And there may be statistical support for wearing a bike helmet as well:

However, I think the OP's basic point holds. Being sedentary is a greater health risk than riding without a helmet.

Great reframing here - now, it's not a discussion of how abuse on twitter is an issue, but a discussion of how abuse happens both from the right and the left. Good job of deflecting the actual point, very alt right of you.

> To my knowledge, nobody is receiving hundreds of credible death threats.

"Credible" - so, as long as the death threat is not "credible", it's ok. Uh huh. "I hope you die" does not contribute in any meaningful way to discussion. And hundreds of "I hope you die"s do not provide an abusive and suppressing environment? Suuuuure, bro.

> The truth is somewhere in the middle, and not everything is what it seems.

Everything is not what it could be, if it was different than what someone said something could not have been, when all the parties involved might or might not contribute to the problem, even if it's not an issue for all sides to understand equally when some parties are unconcerned with the facts as they lie in the instance of how it should not be in the world today.

In other words, I think your vague bullshit generator is working great.

Hands down, the TR1200-DT3 is the best treadmill desk out there right now. Their bluetooth app is crap, but as a treadmill actually designed for office use, this is perfect. Read this amazon review for ways to customize the programming to be less annoying:

LifeSpan also has a more heavy-duty model, the TR5000-DT3, $2000. If you're buying for an office setting where multiple people will be using it for more than 6 hours/day, get this one.

iMovR will have a new unit coming out, the ThermoTread GT Desk Treadmill, that MAY be just as good or better, but you won't get it until the end of the year at the earliest.

That's kind of the state of the art in treadmill desks right now. I imagine there will be more options in a year or two, but the LifeSpan models are by far the best options today.

Also, if you've never read The Last Unicorn, it's actually really funny and self-aware. You may have seen the animated movie some years ago, but IMHO, it's even better as a book!
