It’s not that we’re uninformed, it’s that we disagree.

route my traffic to a different country where I don’t live in and them viewing my activity is potentially less of a problem

Depending on where you live, and where your service resides, this could be tricky.

In the US, for instance, if you’ve chosen a provider in Australia, then a FVEY agreement could be in place to share that data. This gets around the technicality that intel gathering is not occurring on US soil and is not being done by the gov.

And again with the US, if you’ve chosen a country that’s not amiable to sharing user data, the US could very well be justifying that country as a target for pilfering data anyway.

So, that would leave choosing a service provider within the US, which should need to go through the FISA courts for any access to citizen data, but who knows after the Snowden revelations.

I guess that’s the state of privacy if you’ve got a nation state that’s targeted you for surveillance. Only way around it I can think of is data to be encrypted in transit and at rest, and only you control the keys. But that’s not something that’s going to happen with something like mainstream email anyway, too inconvenient for most folks (and you also don’t know if your recipients are security conscious either).

Rule 2: Be kind and friendly.

You’re putting me off on participating here, and I’ve been nothing but kind and friendly. And you?

It did both, but not unique. I added an edit with a more robust solution.

Try this:

[char1 = char.selectOne.titleCase] gives the worst hot take about [char2 = char.selectOne.titleCase], and [char2] subsequently kills them over it.

Here you’re creating a placeholder (aka variable) for the character you’ve selected so you can reference it later on. I also added titleCase so the character name gets capitalized.

He’s not our guy, buddy!

OSS’s Simple Sabotage Field Manual, 1944

There’s a link at the top for the full pdf. And do note, OSS is Office of Special Services, the WWII precursor to the CIA - not Open Source Software lol.

No I hate MS. I won’t ever forget the pain that was developing edge cases around Internet Explorer (fuck IE 6, that shit was the worst).
