1) so what? 2) evidence? 3) it's very obviously a wordpress site using elementor 4) the content really hasn't changed a ton in the last 10 years or so as far as I can tell 5) again, so what?

I'm glad you all are still doing this challenge. Ang handed one to me at Defcon 6 or 7 years ago and it's one of the most interesting challenges I've ever attempted. Didn't finish it but learned a ton. For anyone readin

Some things are better but in the case of political systems, you typically can't prove that ahead of time. Especially when the suggestion is to talk about changing a bunch of variables at once. That's akin to a revolution, which h

We're (at least) 10 years into this mess now and still everyone is focused on restructuring our systems and prosecutions instead of putting forward a platform that broadly appeals to enough Americans to decisively win elections. What I

So you're suggesting our systems should be less democratic, then? Maybe opposing points of view should pick better candidates that will actually win elections. That's how it works, right?

I did not say that at all. I am saying that because of ADA rules, an unfortunate side effect is that people suffer from workplace harassment/violence because their coworkers are too unstable to function amicably in an office environme

Unfortunately, mental disabilities are a protected class. You can't do a mental health evaluation without giving it to everyone in the company and even then you can't do anything discriminatory with the results. You have to prove

Wait we went from simple assault to comparing it just to homicides now? I just don't want to get attacked or slashed by somebody. Okay you lived in NY for 10 years, I lived there for over 40. The subway is shit compared to where it w

In 2023 exactly two Uber passengers died in NYC. One from jumping out of their moving vehicle onto the LIE and the other from being rear-ended by a drag racer on the Whitestone Expressway. The alternative to taking the subway for the vast

573 _felony_ assaults. Misdemeanor assault is still a thing. That includes people fighting you with their fists or groping you. Also anyone in NY with a functioning brain knows just how underreported subway crime is. You can either get w

Subway assaults went up 3x between 2009 and 2025 and violent crime in general in the subway has had nearly a 20% spike just in the first two months of this year alone. Assaults by repeat offenders are up 2x from 2019 to 2025. I'll tak

The one or two times I uncontrollably shat myself on the subway, I at least had the decency to do it in a tunnel and between cars.

In the 2010s it was so bad that I gave up on the subway and either walked, Ubered or took the bus everywhere. When the MTA bus is better than the subway, things in NY are grim -- it was like the 80s & early 90s again. The reliability ha

I used to do a few different versions of this for most of the 30+ years I lived in NY. I used to love walking all over manhattan alone late at night. I would do like 10 mile walks just for the heck of it with music going. Or I would hop

The cheap thin-walled gas containers you find in the auto parts store or on Amazon sell a heck of a lot better than the good stuff. This just doesn't meet up with the day to day reality of your average consumer. Even your gas station u

Everything they'd said publicly kinda made it seem like they had no actual plan for how to follow up TLJ. That said, I've never been a big Star Wars fan and not super invested either way.

It's one thing to subvert everything that your fanbase loves about a franchise, but if you don't give the audience any narrative payoff for doing so don't be surprised when they come to burn your house down.

That's not what that is saying. It's saying don't use an _online_ password manager instead of the browser one. In the very opening they state that simple implementations are great and even lists some. Then the rest of the
