Is there no solution to this?
My first thought is an IP ban list outside of the computer itself. Put it on your home router maybe.
I guess it could be getting installed from a binary that exists on the OS already.
I haven’t used windows in a long time. But it’s wild how much work people have to do to decide which programs are or are not installed on their PC.
It’s so simple but it’s huge for normies.
Someone’s gotta do it. I’m leaving this comment so it’s not me.
Don’t worry. America and parts of Europe will start deporting military aged men back to Ukraine. And we’ll still fly your flag right under Israels. More bodies for the war machine.
Or as our elected officials say “best money we’ve ever spent” and “we haven’t lost a single soldier”

When you’re stuck between an invading force that wants you dead; and an “ally” that doesn’t even count your deaths as meaningful.
Deb Deb Deb, Deb Debbie Anne!
Ugh, I hate it when I have to agree with Israelis.
As a engineer and parent that got a lot of these awful $SCIENCE subject related books as gifts. I’m sure you can find a similar one.
But I have yet to get one that wasn’t just a horribly written kids book. Like, I use to think writing a kids book was a joke.
It’s extremely difficult to find books that are eye catching enough for a child, interesting enough for a parent to WANT to read, and has memorable parts so the kid WANTS to read it.
The $SCIENCE topic books for kids are all just boring art, almost all the pages either look the same (when they try to tell an actual story) OR they are like reading a dictionary where no page is actually related.
None of them are filled with puns for parents either. I don’t get it. That’s low hanging fruit.
Maybe I’ve gotten bad ones. But holy shit. Give a Doctor Seuss book to me any day.
If you want to buy a $SCIENCE related joke gift to one of your friends. Give the kid a T-shirt. The books are awful.
All good. Sometimes the context (or lack there of) in which people mention things makes me confuse the intent.
Is your point to say this is good for the US? Good for Oil companies in the US maybe. On the short term. But oil is a global commodity. The oil goes to whoever is willing to pay. Unless you think Trump is going to nationalize the oil industry. Americans are just as fucked as anyone else. Doesn’t matter where the oil comes out of the ground. It matters who is selling it and who is buying.
That’s not what happens in a crash. I’m not sure what history books you are reading.
Millions lose their jobs. Millions can’t afford housing. Supply chains shut down. Food isn’t delivered to grocery stores. Hundreds of thousands of people die.
The rich consolidate more power and control as the losses are taken by the working class. The profits are private, the negatives of the crash are socialized.
I don’t know where the idea that the stock market crash doesn’t effect people that “don’t own stock” came from. You don’t get to benefit from its rise. But you sure as hell will be treated as meat for the capitalist machine when it’s contradictions hit their breaking point.
Don’t wait for it. Prepare for it.
Here. Hollywood explaining it if that didn’t get through to you.
You’re the people dying. The rich are the guys in the clip.
It serves the interest of capital. The biggest difference between the fascist interest of the past and the present is that capital has globalized to such a degree that there is essentially no loyalty to a nation as you would see in to some degree in the past. If it existed at all really - many American capitalist were aligned with the Nazis more than their own country. Henry Ford being a household name as an example.
Now, this doesn’t mean fascist don’t still use nationalism as a tool. But, the capitalist interest that the fascist protect are the priority and have been disconnected from the imperial core so much that their is no material benefit that they need to offer. The imperial core essentially serves as a speculative financial market and nothing more. Their only value has been reduced to upholding the societal structures that allow that to continue.
They just don’t care about pretending anymore. American foreign policy has always been that of imperialism and colonialism. It only makes sense that those interests have empowered and moved to its most valuable proxy state in Israel. To such a degree that any foreign policy action is now centered around its own attack dogs interests.
The people that say “Israel is controlling American foreign policy” or the people that attempt to explain that “Israel is just the attack dog for American interest” are both right and wrong to a degree.
The conversation based on national interest is just not sufficient to really explain it. It is definitely still important to understanding the past and how we got here. It is important in understanding how national identities still impact media narratives today.
But, the idea of “Israel controls America” is about as useful as “the Jews control America”. The identity of states in our current world is as unhelpful as Liberals of the past aligning with fascist to use Jews, Communist, or any other scapegoat to point to as the problem.
It’s why we are seeing a preparation in the right wing and left of American politics to pivot away from Israel in a post Trump era.
It is only my hope that the socdem politics of Mamdani on the left win out against the upcoming Tucker Carlson anti Israel politics of the right.
America will use Israel as it’s scapegoat for its own Imperialist crimes. This is certain. However, the right will only move into rascism, Imperialism, and fascism further. The leftward movement is the only chance we have to actually hold the true criminals and capitalist oligarchs accountable one day. But, for now, it’s a left that benefits from Americans believing their national identity is still “separate” from the crimes of its military and Israel. We just do not have the level of class consciousness for Americans to understand this yet. The left will not benefit from explaining what I’m explaining now. The masses are not there yet. So a message of “Israel is the problem” is a better explanation at this point. It allows us to combat the anti Israel shift on the right by agreeing with it and offering a better solution.
The masses aren’t prepared for class based explanations. All they will hear at this point would be “Israel isn’t the only problem” while the right falls for simple “what is going on” Tucker Carlson like explanations that allow Americans to feel better that “it’s just Israel”.
I just hope we can build class consciousness before it’s too late. Because fascism doesn’t end with Trump if we get another 4 years of of neoliberalism that follows. The left needs to show it can deliver real material improvement to the working class of America. And right now. That’s only done by agreeing with the post Trump right that “Israel is the problem” and not getting stuck in trying to get people to understand the class based explanation like this comment gives.
Americans won’t be swayed by the moral arguments of the left. They won’t even be swayed by explaining that the billionaires are their enemies. They will only build class consciousness when they see the material benefits to their lives of leftist politics. And their whole lives they have been conditioned into believing that that is something as neoliberal and capitalist as “Obamacare”.
I think the rope they’re selling us might, one day soon, have a net positive impact.
The Cuban people are the best of us.
Well then I think we need to start questioning Germanys “right to exist”.
Really weird to think the “China bad” brain rot is only a thing to specifically mistrust during this admin. It’s always been bull shit mate.
If China spies it’s for the same Reason Cuba has or Iran has. The US is the one that invades other countries and fucks up trade routes for the entire world. I’d fucking spy on us too.
If XI would read my comment history; maybe he’d pay me enough to spy, that I can make rent next week.
I’m a PSL and DSA member with an arrest record for staging protests [removed]. About to fly home international tomorrow after being in Asia (China included). Unlikely as a white citizen to have any problems. But, still, not a fun thing to hear my home in Seattle has gotten worse.
Edit: [removed] details that might just be a self dox.
If only the English language had a symbol for separating words when listing them we wouldn’t have this problem!
My wife texted me to get dogfood bananas and milk at the store. I can’t find these damn dogfood bananas!
If only laws were not enforced and interpreted by bigoted law enforcement and bigoted judges.
Yeah. It’s hard to tell. But at this point the oil price just drops even though a blockade is in place? Shit is fucking wild. Money has never been more fake.
That’s been my solution. The nerd in me just wants to know. I feel like windows and “windows debloat scripts” or the like have gotten worse together. It’s like all the people that use to write cool programs or apps for Windows left for Linux and never looked back. (Except the game cracks I guess? Maybe that’s even dead now though idk)
I mean, it’s a good thing. But, it surprises me how awful the nerd support is for Windows now. I guess it’s so annoying to work with that no one even bothers anymore.
It just feels like something that should have a universal solution by now.
