Didn’t even click to read the satire.
As much as I hate the guy it was marketing genius to do the fist pump immediately.
Same as his mug shot (although he probably practiced that one for hours in a mirror).
Many of his core followers are only semi-literate. They respond to iconic imagery.
Yup. TL;DR…
Search terms for the list ranking include only: “shemale”, “tranny”, “femboy”, and “ladyboy”
Telegram group chats are unencrypted
Not quite true. They are server-side encrypted, not end-to-end. Still bad and I had no idea until I looked it up just now (thanks to you).
I use Gboard keyboard on my phone which undermines my Signal privacy. I could use my laptop instance of Signal to prevent leakage.
Telegram successfully fought against attempt of blocking in Russia in 2018 by providing regular updates and using different techniques to avoid blocking.
I too heard Russia claimed they could not block it. Could be deliberate theatre to bolster its reputation.
It seems Russia has a back door key into Telegram.
Edit: Russia is complaining about the arrest.
Pavel Durov has visited Russia more than 50 times since his “exile” in 2014
Can someone please paraphrase the following which I didn’t understand?
Somebody raised to believe they have high IQ is more likely to fall for this than somebody raised to think less of their own intellectual capabilities. Subjective validation is a quirk of the human mind. We all fall for it.
But if you think you’re unlikely to be fooled, you will be tempted instead to apply your intelligence to “figure out” how it happened. This means you can end up using considerable creativity and intelligence to help the psychic fool you by coming up with rationalisations for their “ability”.
And because you think you can’t be fooled, you also bring your intelligence to bear to defend the psychic’s claim of their powers. Smart people (or, those who think of themselves as smart) can become the biggest, most lucrative marks.
RadioLab covered the dawning of the (serendipitous) discovery a few years ago called: “bringing back gamma”.
#Robodebt will have at least created a generation of citizens who understand the level of government corruption. It was an actual conspiracy.
My favorite Chaser is from their TV show when they dressed as Bin Laden and bypassed security to get near George Bush.
Point taken. I did look it up because I expected half of it to be true.
In Australia we have two satire sites called Betoota Advocate and The Chaser which sometimes are about 80% factual (about conservatives).
This is just an Onion type satire site. He didn’t mention any house-maid. Citing missing out on Sky TV as “hardship” though is still bizarre.

I suspect the ranting author failed to appreciate that Bluetooth is probably cheaper to implement for the audio because regular headphones require three wires while power supply only requires two. Ingenious really.
EDIT: Proper wired headphones would also require a soundcard in the dongle.
The guy was having a funny geeky bitch. He was laughing at himself. He doesn’t expect Apple to change anything.
EDIT: I think you are right, that last paragraph of his is weirdly serious. Would have been pure comedy without it.
Aren’t ads dispersed throughout the discussions? If not, then why not?
I prefer promotion of humility and a lifestyle which puts the emphasis on values relationships, nature, personal time etc, for instance…
In August 2020 the Chinese government launched “Operation empty plate”, a campaign to stop food and beverage waste and cultivate frugality.
However banning materialist fetishes will probably do more good than harm anyhow. Slippery slope though.
So I looked it up…
Soulism is a school of anarchist thought which argues that reality, the laws of physics, and the limitations of our bodies are unjust heirarchies which must be abolished.

I think I am done chatting with this person after mistakenly embarking in good faith. You spotted the evangelical kookiness quicker than I did.
That Lincone guy who said it was a famous dude for being smart and shit. Could be hype eh?
TBH I didn’t understand your soulism comment or how it is connected with your original comment.
I was really just supporting your original comment.
He probably was drawing the analogy with the landowners exploiting black people.
And black sheep are rejected by the flock apparently.
I see now that the photo is from the golf course not the speech. That he posed for that one shows once again how media savvy he is.
The first assassination attempt created the iconic image. That happened only 80 seconds after the shooting, ie as soon as security let him stand up. Here is the uncut footage.
