Aka the place people have to ask about rather than instantly recognize like reddit. I haven't heard about it since the latest right-wingers screed about free speech landed on my timeline and even then gab was a bigger draw. Mainly because it has a few entertainers that got kicked off Twitter for being asshats.

It's worth remembering that the jailbait and creepshot bans were totally separate things, and that the jailbait one happened in two stages: the first time it made it onto Anderson Cooper and got the main one shut down, and then later when that didn't actually do anything goons went scorched Earth and started bombarding the internet with links about how Reddit was poo poo

The fun coda is the free internet act, which in its original form was basically "if it's online you can't yell at me for it" and was originally a publically editable Google doc

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE!!! Go to Youtube and watch VAXXED. It absolutley tells names and shows the numbers by real doctors that Autism comes from vaccines. The CDC was caught changing the numbers to make it look better than it was. If you were a doctor in the 70's & 80's, you probably didn't even know what autism was. Today it's at least 1 out of 50 are Autistic and it's getting worse every year. Some estimate that it will be 1 out of 2 by 2050. It's definitely from environment and not genetic. My daughter has Crohn's and they told me it was genetic. My family and my wife's family has NO Crohn's anywhere, not one. How many Crohn's commercials do you see every day now? Doctors connected Crohn's to vaccinations to find autism was connected also.
Please watch the documentary before pooh poohing this. I'll wager right now the Florida shooter was Autistic. We are going to have a nation of autistic children that can't relate to people very soon unless the truth comes out. My daughters disease has already caused her a lifetime of grief. Parents of Autistic children are living in their own hell right now. If you don't get a vaccination for your child, they can actually take your child from you. Do illegals have a shot record to go to your school? Please take the time to at least look at this movie before making up your mind.

I dug into it for a minute, and apparently the more common TI issue is that "They" will gaslight you by breaking into your house and stealing or hiding small items... including car keys. So it's less that you need a tinfoil hat and more that you need to change your locks.

Gangstalking or "Targeted Individual" stuff is hilarious and tremendously sad at the same time, because 99.999999% of the time it's serious mental illness. But it's hard not to be morbidly amused when TI folks have such a strong online community:




It's got to really, really suck for the tiny number of people who actually are being hosed with my some shadowy government agency (their own or other), because on the off-chance someone is applying Stasi techniques to you, you are going to pretty much sound like a lunatic for bringing it up. TI people are *obsessed* with the East German Stasi, because it's one of the few times in history that reality at least vaguely resembled paranoid ramblings.

That said, most Stasi victims presumably knew they would be a potential target, due to their political activities or whatnot. Whereas it's way harder to explain why an enormous covert bureaucracy would be spending hundreds of man-hours per year and devoting top-tier high tech equipment to harass a middle-aged housewife in a small town in Ohio.

That said, I did find these keywords revealing in a thread about opiates:

Freep has been talking about weed less these days because, other than Vermont, nothing huge has changed recently, and the Chicken-Littling about Colorado has died down since the sky hasn't fallen.

Though, all things being equal, when they *do* have a weed thread there is an ever-increasing number of Freepers saying "gently caress off, weed is great for my arthritis pains, leave it alone!"

Like when there was a short thread about Las Vegas installing drop-boxes at the airport so you could dispose of any forgotten weed before leaving the state, half the thread was all "so... need any help emptying that box LOL!" I haven't gone into the Freep Vaults to look at pre-2012 threads, but I'm pretty drat sure that this is a substantial change over the last six years.

Yeah, DuckDuckGo is mostly focused on privacy, breaking out of the 'filter bubble' of the big search engines that preferentially serve you the content that they think you'll like based on past preferences (something that Freepers might benefit from), and also pitched itself at education, where there may be a legal responsibility with the school for how outside entities collect data on children.

Some schools seem more likely to block DDG and default to Google than embrace it for better compliance with data protection though. :sigh:

Back in the 1970s, I worked with a man who was drafted into Hitler’s army at age 16. After a few weeks of training, he was sent East into Russia. He was soon captured and found himself in a queue to be executed with hundreds of other captured German infantry. They were lined up in front of a ditch, about 20 at a time, and shot into the ditch.

Before his turn came, a British officer came into the scene and started shouting at the Russian officer overseeing the executions. He understood enough Russian to hear the Russian officer’s explanation that they had no food to feed the prisoners, whereupon the British officer said, “Give them to me.”

In a few weeks, this man found himself at Ft. Riley, Kansas, where he was well-treated, and well fed. There was no security to speak of, so one day he just walked off the work detail and ambled down the road a few miles.

He stopped at a farmhouse and asked in his thick German accent if they had any work for him. They hired him, and he was able to enjoy American farm life until the MPs caught up with him when he was in town running some errands for the farm.

At the end of the war, they started rounding up the POWs for the trip back home. He did not want to go. He liked it here. He was told it was a treaty obligation to send all the POWs back to their country of origin.

When he got back to his town, it was utterly destroyed. Everybody he knew and loved was dead, and it was occupied by Russians, whom he feared and hated. He fled to Berlin and applied at the US embassy for asylum, which was granted.

When he got back to the States, he married, had kids, and started a business, leading a typical American life.

An amazing story.
