    It’s “employee owned” but still has a CCP Party Committee that makes decisions. Chinese companies have historically created backdoors in both software and hardware, and have no issues with stealing proprietary data, code, or designs.

    Ignorance of security concerns is pretty much akin to the saying, “Well, I have nothing to hide. Who cares if the government spies on me.” It’s not just the US government saying it, it’s pretty much any security company or individual worth their salt saying it.



  • When your girl got her feet up in the air during any of the following sex positions:

    • Anvil
    • Butterfly
    • Shoulder Holder
    • Viennese Oyster

    Your brain starts associateling feet with sex. Like, you can still think feet are gross, but the second your brain makes that association, you’re done.

    For me, my wife also LOVES foot rubs…which would often lead to sex as well. So my brain went full Pavlov and made that jump. I mean, it’s like anything else, gotta be clean (after shower is best) and well-kept. I’m not going near anyones stinky, busted, janky, warty, fungus ridden foot.

    I remember in my 20’s going, wtf why would anyone ever like feet!?, to being super embarrassed that I was turned on by it, to just enjoying life and embracing it.




  • Mate, there are so many free streaming sites out there. Just make sure to have a really good ad blocker turned on. That said, you may have to find a good few that work with your browser, and to find the shows you want.

    We’ve cancelled every single subscription service that we had. We’ve been pirating content for over a year now, and get to watch every show, from every streaming service, in HD, the day after they are released. Never turning back. Next eventual step will be to sail the high seas. :)



  • Lol. If you haven’t tried I, you really should. It’s like an Enemy Within Demake, with all of the same features and better strategy. You can get an Alien Grenade Launcher that allows you to strategically control the route of the grenade. It allows for absolutely bonkers strategies like blowing a hole in the top of an alien battleship, guiding a grenade in blind to the enemy command structure, and then dropping in afterwards like some sort of Hi-Tech Psionic SWAT Team. Makes the entire enemy team panic. And makes for easy clean up.

    Absolutely loved that game.

    Edit: I think Xenonauts 2 is supposed to be pretty similar.









  • I mean, according to the history of how conservative news has worked, you constantly need an ‘enemy’ to be afraid. It’s the reason we’re attacking their rights, not yours, it’s the reason that we’re enacting laws to target this specific ethnicityn not yours, etc.

    Modern conservativism only works if your supporters are fearful of the ‘other’. It used to be “orientals” and the Red Scare back in the mid-1900’s. Then the blacks, the ‘marihuana’, and communism in the 60’s and 70’s. In the 80’s, it was the welfare queens, the moral panic, and AIDS. In the 90’s, it was child predators, gays, and the start of many identity politics. Then it was Middle Easterners and Islam in the 2000’s. Now it’s the Great White Replacement and the immigrant populations. See? The pattern is that you always have to have some target for fear. They don’t stick around long before people realize that what they were fearful of isn’t as bad as people said they were or that it was never a risk on the first place. It’s all just a massive distraction to keep people from targeting the real problem. The ruling class, and they’re ability to manipulate our laws, elections, and lives all for their benefit.

    In the 1980s, conservatism leaned heavily on fear of the communist threat, the ‘welfare queen’, and a moral panic over crime, AIDS, and the erosion of traditional family values. By the 1990s, the new ‘others’ were undocumented immigrants, queer Americans, and the imagined tyranny of political correctness and globalist elites. The conservative movement has often relied on stoking existential dread—whether it’s the red menace, the crack epidemic, or creeping secularism—to unify its base through fear rather than hope.
