Russian propaganda is a problem for the US in the same way US propaganda is a problem for Russia. But Russia seems to be much better at it. Basically, all states are engaged in some degree of antagonistic propaganda and that does sometines cause problems - because it is intended to cause problems. Doesn't mean it's the only problem.

Yep, I came to comment this. Honestly this could be pretty good news for player 2 - getting a jury to convict when the punishment is death will be much, much harder.

Was travelling with some friends in Istanbul. They were pretty inexperienced abroad, so I figured out public transit there, told them what tickets to buy, and we all walked to the ticket machine. There was a big line/crowd, and a guy up front was taking cash and giving people tickets, which he got by scanning a card at the machine. I went first hoping to show my friends what to do - bought my ticket for like €5 or so and ignored the scammer. They all gave the scammer guy like €20 for him to scan his pass and buy them a €5 ticket. Their reasons were "he seemed official" and "I knew it was a scam, but I figured it was just easier to go along with it".

I did fall for a taxi scam in Peru though and ended up staying at a hotel run by some mafia types. They were cool, though, so it turned out OK - just cost me a little extra money for an interesting story.

And what ghoul will he pick to replace himself? Not optimistic.

This won't stop the cops from hacking into your phone with celebrite, but android has a feature called lockdown mode that will disable facial recognition, fingerprints, and voice ID until your phone is unlocked via PIN. I need to unlock my phone quickly throughout the day, so I use fingerprint - but I use lockdown if I get pulled over or am going through security, etc. It isn't perfect, but it's better (for me) than having to enter a long PIN every time I need to unlock my phone.

Once you enable it in settings, you can take your phone to the power off/restart menu and enable lockdown.

Using Tasker, you could probably disable quick unlock when outside of your house, etc.

I hear Greece has embraced the backdoor mandate ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

A lot of voters are pretty uninformed. And I think old folks who remember Biden in his younger days often like him more. But like I said, I don't think he'll do a whole lot of good.

He deserves it, but he is staying alive by sheer force of patriotism and duty. I don't think he knows how or wants to retire. Not while things are still so fucked up
