I’m very surprised the top answer isn’t pocketbook. Their entire business model is reworking Chinese e ink tablets to make them GDPR compliant and privacy respecting. I’d recommend the pocketbook verse pro if you want a lit screen and USB C, but they have a cheaper model without those features.

Here is a good spec comparison table for ereaders in general. I’d point out basically all e-readers have great battery life.

Hot take, but your local community matters infinitely more than the construction of your house. Build somewhere you have neighbors yoh get along with who will stick their neck out for you.

That being said, you can do the following:

• Plant/build near large trees to cover from satellite/aerial photography

• run conduit throughout so you don’t have to rely on wireless networking

• install security cameras that feed somewhere local (I’m assuming nobody who breaks into your house gives enough of a shit to fins and destroy your recordings)

• buy actually good locks, doors, and doorframes. Make sure you’re aware of what to expect from these, they wont actually keep someone out, they just make entrance louder and slightly more cumbersome.

• build a secret sex room for you and your spouse. This is less of a privacy asset, and more just a fun thing to do.

Yes. Outreach is an important part of helping people change their minds.

It’s the same reason you shouldn’t fuck with Jehovah’s Witnesses. By treating them badly, you increase the feeling of isolation they have towards broader society and shove them further into the clutches of the cult.

Our local PD literally have access to stingrays, cellbrite/Pegasus (I don’t actually know which one they pay for) and military weaponry. In the suburbs, they have armored vehicles as well (tanks and APCs, not armored swat trucks).

Obviously it varies by where you live because different departments will have different levels of funding and will ask for different toys from the feds, but you’d be surprised how comically over equipped many PDs are.

If OP was trying to secure themselves against interest from conventional state actor like a large intelligence service, I’d say they probably need to throw their phone in a woodchipper and start hitchhiking to the nearest professional spy training program.

More realistic concerns that an ordinary person probably has are casual mass surveillance and local police fuckery. Random AOSP Roms are not sufficient to handle either of those threats.

So technically, you are correct. The force is the water pressure provided by the piss being pulled down by gravity. Practically speaking, this force is negligible because all you’re doing is allowing the piss to fall, not forcing it downwards.

Basically, imagine you’re holding an incredibly heavy rock that does not have a gravitational field or air resistance. If you drop the rock, gravity will pull it down, but regardless you will not go up unless you apply force and throw it down.

Force = Mass * Acceleration.

Gravity is (approximately) 9.88 m/s^2.

According to a random Wikipedia page, ideal body weight was at one point considered 50kg.

This means that the following will find the point where you are perfectly neutral, neither rising off the ground nor being held down by gravity:

9.88 * 50 = M * A

Unfortunately, A in your scenario is 0, meaning that this is not possible no matter how much piss you have. This is because your urine basically just falls out of your body and isn’t being ejected with force.

Basically, but not everyone has a pixel or can afford to buy a new device.

Here is a good comparison. As a reminder, there is no privacy without security, so if you live in the US (or anywhere that illegal searches happen regularly), I’d argue a less secure solution is by definition a less private solution.

Iirc Molly in F-droid still using FCM and the google maps API. If you want Molly-Foss, you have to use Obtanium to pull APKs from their git releases.

Edit: I was wrong, you can get it off their F-Droid repository.

Then depending on OP’s comfort level, they can either just use their Facebook account for this student group, or they can use GIMP to modify a scan of their actual ID.

What do you usually use and offer when people ask you for contact?

Ask your family/partner/friends to use signal, it is idiot proof enough for most people. You can provide your email and phone number for acquaintances who you don’t speak with enough to justify installing signal.

I’m not in any student groups, but you can make a dummy Facebook account and only login using their website from behind a VPN.

Banking app I used has blocked me from app after few years of using it when they realized I have it from “unofficial” source - Aurora store.

Just use their website and carry a physical credit card in the back of your phone case.

What’s your way of transport after having few beers in pub? Do you use taxi via calling it directly or use that weird Telegram taxi addon?

We literally just drive drunk here. Is public transit an option? Again, you can sandbox these apps or use their respective websites.

Is there a way to convert google map pins to open source solutions and vice versa? What’s your recommended software for directions? What do you use for driving?

Organic maps is good if you have an address and only need directions. If you need complete records of where local businesses are and traffic info, google maps is your only option. I’d set it up in a sandboxes container though, at the very least.

Do you track fitness activities?

No, and I’d argue that nobody other than serious athletes need to. That being said, you can get a tracker that does not connect to your phone or the internet.

Do you have good phone recommendations? I know that GrapheneOS+Pixel is one, but what about others?

Graphene+pixel is head and shoulders the best option, especially in places like the US where you have to worry about illegal searches. Privacy requires security. That being said, there are alternatives if you cannot afford a new device: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

I have two pieces of sage wisdom friend:

1. You will spend countless hours of your life fucking. If you ever get the least bit bored, you’re doing life wrong. There is a truly infinite number of ways to accomplish the task at hand.

2. You have spent exactly 0 hours thus far fucking. Like all things in life, fucking is a skill. It takes practice to be good at it.

But honestly I don’t really remember, it was several years ago now. I can say with certainty that we didn’t have many toys at the time, so it was 90% me, her, and her shitty dorm room.

My record is almost 8 hours friend.

You (or your partner) need to get good. Or maybe don’t because I was fucking sore after that one, it wasn’t really worth it.

Good news! Seinfeld is a pedophile and supposedly kind of a sociopath. He’s also tried to hop on the anti-woke train a couple of times in the past few years.

The man made a major contribution to western cultus as a whole, but man is he a bastard.

This position of the president’s cabinet, so the only requirement is to be appointed by the president. We elected a scummy mafia-adjacent businessman, and he’s appointing the other mafia-adjacent scum he owes favors to.

I was already planning on moving to Chicago next year, so…eh? I worry about our country for a lot of reasons, but none of them only apply to red state residents.

That being said, if I wasn’t already moving I’d be getting the hell out of dodge. I don’t have a uterus, but I know people who do, and I won’t be party to the state suppression of their healthcare on religious grounds.

So the way it looks now, Trump has won the presidency, and his allies will have the senate and house of representatives, and they already had the supreme court. The three branches of government will not be working as checks on each other’s power, unless we get very lucky and the various factions that make up the GOP split. This is obviously very, very bad, but there are still some checks on presidential power.

1. Trump’s last term was a clusterfuck. Things may just be so disorganized that he struggles to actually get what he wants done.

2. The states have limited power to defy the feds. While case law does state that federal law supercedes state law, that doesn’t mean all States will immediately cooperate wholeheartedly. Obviously a court battle will eventually get to the supreme court, but that takes time and requires a single panel of judges to beat multiple states into line on each new policy.

3. Governments do have a small amount of caution when it comes to their people. One thing the crazy conservatives had right this whole time was that fundamentally, nobody was ever going to come for their guns because nobody wants to force a confrontation with a bunch of armed lunatics. In the same way, they’ll probably try to avoid massive riots and general strikes simply because it isn’t worth the fight to whoever is responsible.

4. Citizens can resist. Go to protests, donate to political advocacy organizations (the ACLU will have its work cut out for it), and for Christ’s sake, go vote! Show up every year, just not every 4 years. Without the cooperation of congress, his power would be significantly curtailed.

5. If nothing else, terms are limited. In 2 years we can swing congress. He isn’t going to be able to pass a constitutional amendment to do what he likes before that. If we swing congress in two years, it will slow him down significantly, and then we can replace him in 2028. Hopefully people will actually keep showing up long enough after that to reverse all the damage he’s likely to do in the next 4 years.

I feel bad for the guy. I used to work in retail outside Dallas and he came in regularly. The guy couldn’t really maintain a conversation, had difficulty answering open ended questions, and had to be accompanied everywhere.

I saw him running for senate in Georgia maybe a year later.

It isn’t safe, but its better than taking it off entirely.

Anyone who’s above average height or buys one of the mega cursed headrests that sticks out 4" is not keeping that thing in its factory state. If nothing else you’ll injure your neck from the constant contortion.
