  • I see quite a few comments trashing this article, why?

    It gives solid advice while reminding the reader that this is not perfect.

    If I was Snowden this is not enough at all, but If I was an illegal immigrant in a country full of others like me? I think this article plus the final note about past data, does actually give a very solid advice.

    I would argue that those who follow this guide, and take to heart the final notes and does something about past information (e.g move to a new address, change some habits, etc) would not be discovered in a mass deportation. Again, if you are an individual who is uniquely targeted by a government, this is not enough.

    And yeah, they missed some points and this isn’t perfect, but anyone who is serious would do more research anyway, so I actually think this a good article.


  • Depending on where you live the cops might!

    In many places in the world this can be reported, and the results can range from calling the owner to tell them to move, all the way to towing the car with a nice fine.

    When I see this I always call, sure, I might be able-bodied and can walk past it. but honestly, what if someone with a wide wheelchair or anything similar can’t get past it?

    This is just pure selfishness on the driver’s side, so I selfishly call the cops on them 🤷





  • My mother made rice in the morning and forgot to put it in the fridge, it was a hot summer day.

    When my brother came back from school he decided to eat the rice, not knowing how long it was out. A few bites in he notes the odd taste, nothing major but noticeable, his solution? Add more sauce to drown the weird taste!

    Fast forward about an hour, now my brother is puking and shitting it and everything else that was inside of him. So far this is pretty normal right? It can happen to anyone at least once and it wasn’t anything crazy since after one puking/shitting session he felt better and was mostly over it.

    About 2 hours later my father comes home, this man does not throw away food as long as it isn’t covered in mold (this means that small amounts of mould are okay to cut out and eat the rest, thia is the level we are talking about) and just to clarify, we had no food shortage or money issues, he is just unwilling to throw away food.

    For some reason nobody threw away the rice yet and it was still on the kitchen counter. My father sees the rice and we all immediately warn him that my brother got food poisoning from it and he should not eat it, of course my father, the genius, decides that my brother just has a weak stomach. He takes a bite, notices the weird taste and you guessed it… Drowns it in sauce!

    As expected about an hour later he had a similar puking/shitting session, and learned absolutely nothing.
