I was there in 98-99 so it’s been a long time. My relationship with my parents is good. They truly sent me there with the best intentions and I know that. They have expressed remorse and have apologized many times over the years.

I was in elan and yea, a lot of similarities. elan had a pretty extensive class system. Shot down was the lowest, worker was standard entry level, then expeditor, then something else, then guru, and I can’t remember the rest. Anything lower

Pretty much. elan knew exactly what the parents wanted to hear and see and would tailor the parents tour or questions around that.

I haven’t read all of the comic so I can’t say if he embellished things. I can say 100% that screaming at people was very much encouraged(during “therapy” sessions or as punishment). It was referred to as “getting your feelings off”. Someti

As weird as it may seem, Paris Hilton was actually sent to one of these places and has spoken out about them and shed some light on them.

I was very fortunate that my parents believed me and withdrew me after ~5 months. My parents sent me there with the best intentions. But elan tricked them. And they realized that. They have both apologized numerous times and explained how t

It’s also more then that. elan was VERY good at disguising themselves as a caring and helpful place. On paper, elan had it all. But it was all an illusion. My parents spent over 3 months researching different schools and elan seemed to have

I’ve read some of the comic but not all of it. From what I read it’s fairly accurate. I witnessed “the ring” and experienced first hand the psychological manipulation.

This is so weird and could definitely identify myself, but... I was sent to a therapeutic boarding school called elan. A month or two after I got home my best friend was "taken" and did outward bound then got sent to hidden lakes

I was one of the unlucky people who spent time at elan. It was a terrible terrible time. Much like the author of the article I was awoken by 2 big dudes in my bedroom and was given the choice to get dressed and go peacefully or they would d

If I remember right, Vanced is the official YouTube app that was decompiled and modified. Where newpipe is an open source standalone app that uses no Google code or apis.

I love kotlin and have messed around with javafx + kotlin. It works well once you have set it up.

If I'm remembering right, Kim spent a SHITLOAD for a fiber connection to his home. He was a huge gamer and wanted super low latency. I also remember Kim finding out he was being watched because he noticed his ping went up and tracerout

My dad had a black box that worked awesome. It had a little dial in the back that you could twist to dial in a channel to be super clear.

What does it matter to you? It's not forced on anyone. Unless you go out of your way to look for it, you won't even know it's there.

by rOOb85 5y ago
> The Signal code was closed source for longer than a year (from April 2020) This absolutely untrue. Signals source has NEVER been closed source. The Signal server source code(which isn't special and doesn't change that often)

You can run one of those os's without any Google services. Paid apps are almost certain to not run, and a bunch of other apps that rely on the services. But almost all the apps I use work great. I have used CalyxOS and it's a grea

To add: Aurora store does NOT let you download paid apps. If you have paid for a app, you can sign into that account in aurora store and download the app you bought. However, the paid app will most likely not work as most apps use a SDK pro

Sounds like they just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and work harder. They could also accept checks via the mail. Or cash via the mail. Or cryptocurrencies. Or gift cards. Or barter. There are multiple options available to t

OK, I see how that could be a issue.

Same thing for the officers I checked. All emails/phones were publicly listed on their own agencies websites.

by rOOb85 5y ago
> almost definitely going to turn into a harassment and doxxing platform. This site only uses publicly available information. How would it enable more harassment if someone can goto www.agency.com/officers and get the same info?

by rOOb85 5y ago
Except cities and agencies are choosing not to implement things like this. And they even go as far as keeping this information secret from the public.

How would posting videos of good cops doing good things be "abuse"?

> server is closed source last time I checked Check again. It's been updated for a while now. It's always updated, just sometimes less frequently then some people expect. There's no obligation to publish code every x month
