I really don't think you can convert this Simpsons meme to being about the history of the US throughout all time (seems to be about the modern digital global, post 24 hour news cycle period of humanity we're currently in, I mean, it's an internet meme, so globalization and the Internet are the bounds of it)...

I think people like you, who get into this large political arguments with a totalistic "this debate in the comments will sort out the truth for all time" over a modern day meme are lame and stupid. It's just such a stupid game to be playing.

"This Simpsons meme is a commentary on the rest of the world's view of America during the civil war" is just - a stupid take in my opinion.

I don't think so, they've had fairly high transparency on most pf their elections, have a gopd numeracy and literacy rate, much of the protection of right has been pretty good outside of the enforcement side and some of the Children's rights issues (eg. Marriage laws and the private Child punishment industries).

I think most of the time they've been much better than most theocracies and authoritarian states. The US has had some prison labour but no where near as bad as say the Saudi system of slavery.

The US has bad patches, but they're far from the worst. Political freedoms there have mostly veen good up until recently.

I just meant that America feeling like the center of the world's criticisms isn't the same as them being the center of the world's criticisms.

Really the rest of the world has said they're the worst during the Iraq invasion and subsequent tortures, and then there was a big gap, and now that same sentiment of "America is doing the worst thing right now" has only just been coming back recently (with the rise of Trumpian Fascism).

...so it's mostly when America shows its fascism that the world makes this complaint. Bush and Trump were both unprecedentedly bad times, and both on the right Republican side. The world had a point both times.

....but generally the rest of the world is off doing its own bad things, with huge gaps between saying America is doing "the worst thing right now".

Not really.

Unless you have had three independent data recovery companies confirm the data can't be recovered - I'm not buying it.

For the software erase it says:

Even if power is interrupted during the data wiping process, the drive will automatically resume clearing data the next time it gets power, says Team Group.

We aren’t sure of the wiping algorithm or tech, so we would assume there remains a chance of data recovery after this software-powered wipe, or partial wipe.

For the hardware erase, it says recovery might be more effort than it's worth. So sounds like neither mode gets proven results.

It's essentially a dangerous scam.

These people have no idea where on Trump/Suzie Wiles rank they are.

Dan would have been down the bottom somewhere.

You're fired!

Wolf 1: They're offering us a baby-free supplement paste.

Wolf 2: What's it made out of?

Dog 1: I don't know, peanuts or something. Who cares it tastes good.

Wouldn't want to upset the people who have the actual Epstein list/tapes.

The metal bar on the top left indicates it's at the top.

Skant = the skirts some male looking crew members were seen wearing in the background of a few TNG episodes.

I think it already has.

 

Does Friendica for instances, have something like Facebook Messenger going on? What would be the best for real time communication on both phone and desktop?
