Lost any interest in Skylines once I learned it's not a real simulation and some people teleport to work when you're not looking

Direct quote: "10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned."

This is laughably incorrect. Then he turned around and repeatedly said his statement was politically neutral.

Mullvad seems interesting, I might switch to it.

So does Windscribe

Laying off 20% of your workforce isn't a good look, especially when you keep betting your company on the wrong things (e.g. pivot to video, cryptocurrency, metaverse). It's looking like Facebook will wither on the vine since young people are largely opting to not use it

Too broke to get a VPN.

You seem to have a lot of requirements. Beggars can't be choosers

Very interesting seeing how Pete Hegseth's philosophy of "maximum lethality" ran its course, and yet...

  • Iran has come out the other side with more leverage despite taking big losses
  • Trump is desperate to end his (illegally started) war
  • Conservatives like Tucker Carlson have turned on him for his statement on Easter and calls for genocide

Seems like a complete miss. I'm reminded of this recent Atlantic article...

Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places. He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before.

In your opinion, is space exploration necessary?

The ingenuity and innovation required to make space travel possible (and efficient) is remarkable. Definitely falls into the category of "it's not the destination, it's the journey." It's important to continue challenging ourselves as a species.
