It’s a Inauguration Day nazi salute. Tell it like it is.

I care very little about people’s peculiar beliefs, however you should know about Jehovas witnesses:

• they are absolutely a cult and dangerous.

• they believe joining their cult is the only way to achieve eternal life. Everyone else is doomed.

• they put a very high focus on „saving“ people, aka bringing them into the cult. In fact, how many people you brought in is a big factor in determining your worth. Members are absolutely convinced they are doing good and actually saving souls. At least the normal folk who don’t abuse their brothers and sisters.

• members are discouraged from forming bonds and meaningful interaction with non-members, unless it serves bringing them into the cult.

• if someone leaves the cult, other members are forbidden from interacting with them, even within families. Except for the purposes of stalking and harassment of course.

• obeying authority without question is very important. The children obey the parents. The wife obeys the husband. The husband obeys those above him in the pecking order. This creates a fertile breeding ground for domestic and sexual abuse, which are dealt with „internally“, aka swept under the rug.

That said, most of them are normal people trapped in a very bad system. They can be kind, absolutely lovely people, or huge pricks, or pure evil, everything people outside the cult can be. It’s just that every single one of them needs to pull you inside, for your own good.

A JW to non-JW relationship is not possible in the long term. Either your daughter will be absorbed by the cult (because he can’t let his wife and their children be condemned) and distance herself from you and her former friends or he will leave and be shunned by his family and friends inside the cult. Anything else will not be tolerated by his community.

The best you can do is to find out about their methods and dangers and also prepare your daughter to never give up thinking for herself. I hope she is level headed enough to understand that it is not going to go well, even if he is a genuinely good person.

There is not „your encryption key“ because there is not only one.

The cloud backup (protected by the pin) includes the contact list, NOT your messages. Those are encrypted on device with a key that is on device and can not be recovered by anyone from the cloud.

But … the last guy who was not even on the ballot is as old as Trump. And eggs are expensive. And another country is waging war, sorry, gEnOcIdE. And Kamala sounds foreign and I don’t know what she would do because I prefer to revel in ignorance instead of finding out myself.

At least they are not hiding it.

✅ weaken NATO

✅ divert funds and military goods from Ukraine

✅ act like an imperialist dictator

✅ normalize unrestricted use of military power

✅ distract from domestic issues

✅ ignore congress

✅ get access to valuable resources (and real estate!)

Why, as a ruthless, selfish and utterly amoral person would he not do it?

All that censorship, yet they could not be bothered to replace ChatGPT with deepseek in their stolen training data 😄

That open source performer is very much aligned with Winnie the poohs censorship, which should be worrying.

Screen sharing is still shitty.

Can it generate images of Winnie the Pooh?

Also gEnOcIdE

Knowing Microsoft it’s probably more like a cloud upload tray.

Did they fix the explorer context menu yet?

Like a particularly bad smell in a room of farts.

Did Einstein ever harass women?

gEnOCiDe

No. Still might be a cheaper way to get antibiotics now.

This is not mildly infuriating. Its incredibly worrying.

And you see that „good faith“ on putins side?
