I also have at times ordered deliverables on Alibaba (not aliexpress). Being able to send funds in yuan over Ali network solves almost all problems with that.

PIA is my VPN vendor. They and Proton both support port forwarding. Port forwarding is a hard requirement of what I do. And given Proton CEO's support of the US administration (specifically for Vance), I chose to cancel my subscription

Thats rough. If anything, thats an indication to me to make a HA setup so you can power down 1 member. Im not going to watch a video, honestly, but HA with a front-facing Zookeeper and sharded Postgres isnt super hard. Can be if you didnt i

I can load US dollars I hand over to the CVS attendant and load it on my AliPay (Alibaba account). I can then pay my Alibaba server bills with Alipay.

This person is correct. I pay for 2 servers running in Asia under Alibaba, using my local CVS drugstore. Im in the Midwest USA. Not a single problem at all.

Hmm, my VPN provider explicitly has Chinese exit points. And whats funny is I can load AliPay from any CVS. (Like, seriously) You can try to pry Qwen and Deepseek from my Graphene/Linux hands.

Your one page shocker doesnt address anything I said. It just shows how sexually backwards you want older children and young adults to be. From Wikipedia the book is intended for 12-18, or a better description, someone who is going through

NoMoreNicksLeft conveniently left out the (singular!) banned book they were referring to. I believe that was by intent, to make the strawman unassailable. And its easy to attack books in k-12 school libraries. The hard conservative christia

Nice strawman you constructed. However, it was burning the moment you put it together. Its easy to say that pornography and smut are the only things banned in school and public libraries, as your claim. But thats easily demonstrably false.
