If a hacker can do it, you can damn well bet multiple nation-states are just chilling in the systems slurping everything up.

Okay MacGoober, my point was if you ever did meet anyone as a result of your post here, you’d be tying your profile to who you are IRL.

Are you’re kidding, that’s the best time to go. Make them regret their choices, both then and now.

Brave that you’re using your Lemmy profile for your dating profile and that you’re willing to tie those comments to who who actually are in the real world.

Granted… you’re born in a house of someone living in the school district when your mom who was making ends meet by cleaning houses went into labor and couldn’t make it to a hospital.

(Couldn’t resist)

Didn’t say that it wasn’t there. Just that it got a lot worse after 9/11 and the following years.

It honestly still felt like a “sky’s the limit” mentality like it probably was in the 50s. The internet and computers were just really starting to catch on and everyone was talking about how great they would make our lives and people were doing what they could to deliver on that promise.

Terror was something that wasn’t really on peoples radars. You could still go directly to the gate to meet your loved ones when they travelled, people were endeavoring to be inclusive as you could see from TV and other media, and racists we’re very much immediately dismissed without much of a platform.

It wasn’t the best for LGBTQ people, especially with Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, but it was generally just considered a matter of time before it would be accepted.

And finally the climate wasn’t trying to actively kill you and people were talking about things we could do around renewables and other energy initiatives.

I’ll take off the rose colored glasses as I know there are some bad things, but it’s hard not to say that objectively it was a good time.

I dunno. I kinda consider 9/11 to be the shifting point. That’s when racism came roaring back and also the introduction of the Patriot Act. The 2008 crash was just the solidification of the shit show to come.

No, he uses a different outfit when he’s doing that.

Imaging him returning now. “I am Nimrod!!… wait, why are you all laughing at me?”

Luckily the reality that science attempts to measure doesn’t care about politics and will still exist no matter what he says. What it does mean is that it’ll be discovered in another country and the US will grow more and more isolated

Care to explain for the layperson?

“MRP”… “hey Nintendo, don’t you mean MSRP?”… “no, there’s no suggestion about it”

So damn bummed. It was such a beautiful city that I wanted to visit again. I fell in love with it but sadly will never go back there.

Ah, I get where you’re going with that and understand your view. My point was more for users who think that deleting an account will really get rid of it everywhere and I didn’t want them getting their hopes up.

Awesome. Zip managed to cache my ee account so I can at least refer back to any place I posted or commented off of ee. Wonder how long it’ll keep it for

Not quite. If your comments federated out to an instance that either a) doesn’t get the delete request or b) ignores the delete request, your comments will very much stay out there in the fedeverse with not much you can do. Yes posts on the original instance may be gone, but anything that get pushed out via ActivityPub is a crap shoot.

Moved over to .zip

That was gonna be my question. So how would you offload it before it goes bad?

The latter. Everyone believes that they have solved the system, but no one can produce proof. Only increasing degrees of delusion. There are some common items like the UCC and “5-star passports” but after that is fractures into all these supposed loopholes
