Too bad Billionaires’ Row is already cutting out a big portion of that tax revenue with a loophole.
Definitely not from my parents. I had to teach myself in college and have been doing the same til now. Following recipes obviously helps, but also taking classes or watching YouTube is great for the more subtle points as well as making sure you’ve covered the basics.


I want to know if it’s correlated with handedness.


Or if you have like $5/mo to spend on a VPS, self-host vaultwarden. It’s compatible with the bitwarden apps and browser plugins.


The vendor/site does not need to know a name.
The idea is that people already trust the government with their identifying info. So what the government can do is issue, for example, an opaque “age ID” that is only to be used with an “over 18?” service hosted by the government. Then anyone visiting a website with age-restrictions would provide their age ID, which tells the site nothing about the user. The site checks the “over 18?” service. At no point do arbitrary websites need to collect identifying info.
Now obviously as I’ve described it, there are multiple problems:
One solution is to make the age ID into a “one time password” (OTP). Much like an authenticator app, you could have an app provided by the government which generates a new random OTP on request, and it would expire in a minute or so. Then users provide that instead of a constant age ID. Like before, the site checks the “over 18?” service using the OTP.
It’s still not perfect, but you’ll never solve the “adult buying beer for kids” trick without counterproductive measures. There are probably some additional tricks to make it better, but I don’t want to get too far into it.
EDIT: One more point. Having this “over 18?” service is itself a privacy risk, because it relies heavily on your trust in the government not to conspire with the sites you are visiting or to just log info about all of the age-restricted sites you visit. There are apparently solutions to this problem involving zero-knowledge proofs, but I don’t know quite enough to explain that entirely here.
EDIT2: I got curious and did a little more reading. The zero-knowledge proof idea kinda fails to prevent credential sharing, unless you rely on some kind of hardware cryptographic vault thing. I’m not sure if that ends up being strictly better than the service idea.
Another way you might prevent the govt from logging all of the age-restricted sites you visit is to put the service behind something like Tor to make the requesting site anonymous. But this still doesn’t prevent the govt from just knowing that you visited some age-restricted site at a specific time. Still not ideal.
This is not a shitpost, this is absolute gold.


Isn’t that exactly what the Associated Press is?


What’s wrong with good old Internet with E2EE?


MEEOOOWW. MEEEEOOOOOWW.
…mm mm. Nope nope nope.


There has to be some kind of organization in order to present a coherent list of demands. Otherwise we end up with another Occupy Wallstreet where half of the people in the movement can’t articulate what change they want to happen.


I would love to strike for better pay, but I’m worried that particular demand will only spread us thin and make it harder to get leverage. Obviously things are so fucked that we could come up with an endless list of demands. I want to make sure such a list doesn’t explode and become a point of division.
That said, obviously a collective action is about the will of the people involved. So if there is a majority of strike participants that believes one of the demands should be related to pay (hopefully for increasing the minimum wage, not just raising the salaries of those already making 6 figures), that should be considered.
All I know is YouTube has more advanced ad delivery methods than DNS blocklists can filter, so you need client-level blocking. This only works if you use browser plugins or 3rd party client apps. YouTube’s first party app will always have ads.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, this is just my understanding.


What an idiotic suggestion. Hetero men everywhere will rejoice in you shutting the fuck up right now.
There is no such thing as “consent” in this situation.
Are you arguing Clinton raped Lewinski?


Pretty sure my eyes max out at 4K. I can barely tell the difference between 4K and 1080P from my couch.
Only if you think of the wall as an adversary and not an ally.
No you just immerse in the wall for a femtosecond.


I believe that’s called a Boycott. Usually those are targeted. I’d recommend boycotting as many companies as you can whose CEO tickled Trump’s anus with a faux golden thimble.
Your momma’s so fat, she got shot with a tranquilizer dart when the hippos escaped from the zoo.
