  • Usenet is the way but I’ve never witnessed someone who torrents see the light in a penny comment thread. Few people truly understand opsec and how to quantify their own risk surface, but those who do will gravitate towards Usenet.

    Speed is also a factor. Casuals don’t understand what it is to grab a release before a torrent has found the first seeder.












  • I haven’t had a problem.

    iPhone with Screen time and communication limits means I can control how much time they spend in the device and in which apps and I control who they can contact.

    Don’t approve any apps that allow social features.

    Talk to them about the realities of the internet and the wider world.

    All of this has to happen at some point. If you just hand off a phone to an 11 year old or even a 14 year old workout doing any of the above, you’re still going to have issues.

    Much of what is being said about tech is the same as was said about tv and video games. The only studies you’re going to hear about this are the ones that confirm the societal biases.

    If you don’t seek counter opinions of this topic you’re playing into the same fear mongering every generation of parents has had about the new thing.

    Dancing, rock and roll, tv, video games, and now phones. Every time, everyone thinks this time is different and every time it hasn’t been.





  • Based on the dark humor groups on Facebook, I am quite confident this is what racists actually believe. Transphobes too.

    The poorly educated think dark humor is a joke an acceptable way to joke about ideas they hate.

    When a study linking dark humor to intelligence was released, the knuckle draggers clucked and strutted about, thinking their hatred indicated intelligence.

    You missed the part about hours spend in detention.

    Punishment is not an accepted means of instruction because it causes this type of trauma response.

    They may have learned French but they also learned to hate learning French which is counter- productive to continuing with French education.


  • It may not be monthly but there are companies that will monitor your levels and schedule refills as needed. If you’re getting refilled per month you probably need a bigger tank. Most people are using propane for heating and don’t need it refilled in the summer.

    There are also options to spread the cost over the year so you’re making payments each month. That is sort of a subscription but when I think subscription I think of a service you’re charged for whether you use it or not and not financing.
