The existence of one or more gods can’t be conclusively proven or disproven. So it makes sense to me that some people believe in it and others don’t.

Ugh, an article with popups on loss of window focus. That’s an immediate Ctrl+W from me.

The war in Gaza isn’t the only thing going on in the world, you know. It’s not even the deadliest war going on right now. Take a look at the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anthropogenic_disasters_by_death_toll#Wars_and_armed_conflicts

The current era of the Israel-Palestine war (since October) has a death toll of around 30k. Look at how many other current and recent wars have death tolls of at least that much. Notably, the US-Afghanistan war (around 193k deaths) was ended by Biden.

What ad blocker? I used uBlock origin without any issue, although I have a lot of custom filters.

Do you even know how a primary works? This can’t possibly reduce Biden’s chance of winning (not in the primary, not in the election).

I would be voting “Uncommitted” tomorrow if I didn’t already have Covid. It’s not so severe that I couldn’t vote, but it is definitely contagious enough that I can’t safely go to a voting site.

Headlines like this are problematic. I think we can all agree that Trump has done a lot of damage to democracy in the US, but are rural Trump supporters really more dangerous than urban Trump supporters? That claim is suspect, and the article provides no evidence to support it (it provides evidence that most Trump supporters are rural, which is a totally different claim.)

And saying that white rural Trump supporters are worse than non-white rural Trump supporters is an even more serious claim. It’s racially discriminatory, and seems totally baseless in this article.

The article has no evidence of these claims, and seems to indicate that the book doesn’t even make the claims of the headline.

(I’m not objecting to the claims that Trump supporters are mostly rural and mostly white. That is common knowledge.)

Using a VPN (like Tailscale or Netbird) will make setup very easy, but probably a bit slower, because they probably connect through the VPN service’s infrastructure.

My recommended approach would be to use a directly connected VPN, like OpenVPN, that just has two nodes on it – your VPS, and your home server. This will bypass the potentially slow infrastructure of a commercial VPN service. Then, use iptables rules to have the VPS forward the relevant connections (TCP port 80/443 for the web apps, TCP/UDP port 25565 for Minecraft, etc.) to the home server’s OpenVPN IP address.

My second recommended approach would be to use a program like openbsd-inetd on your VPS to forward all relevant connections to your real IP address. Then, open those ports on your home connection, but only for the VPS’s IP address. If some random person tries to portscan you, they will see closed ports.

Regardless of whether this narrative is tired, or a decade old, it is still very relevant right now. Trump is a Russian agent. It is essential not to let him hand over the US to Russia.

Any citations? I mean, the more recent stuff is obvious, because Trump just comes out and says it. He basically admits he’s a Russian agent.

But what about the 1987 full page ad? Is that referring to this: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ilanbenmeir/that-time-trump-spent-nearly-100000-on-an-ad-criticizing-us

If so, that ad doesn’t say anything about NATO. The ad recommends pulling support for Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf, and most of all Japan. Although Trump’s ad is fucking stupid, this ad doesn’t say anything about any NATO countries.
