@gamehawk I've just checked, and its not even consistent what happens - eg I get a screen of videos suggesting I could watch/listen to recent tracks from one of my favourite Volksmusic performers (Takeo Ischi), but clicking on any just says "not available". It would have been better for the warning to appear on the index site that "you can only view this channel in Germany" (which I suspect to be the case).
I mean, the airlines probably would have hardened doors and whatnot themselves, y'know? But tbh I think we'd have been better off without PATRIOT and TSA and DHS.
Not sure the analogy holds up at all, really... crashing an airliner is pretty overt. The public clearly knows what damage was done which airline it was. Not so with social media companies.
@gemlog Yep. I have a friend who's a diplomat in Nepal and she Instagrams pictures of buildings around Kathmandu. Lots of swastikas in the building decorations.
@Nach We have a house rule that the only thing that you're allowed to shout to someone in another room is the rhetorical question "Are you shouting at me from another room?!"
(The current house, which has only counters/half-walls dividing the kitchen from breakfast nook from family room, kind of subverts the rhetoricalness of that, though. When we first moved in, son non-sarcastically responded with "I'm... not sure. *Am* I?")
@inmysocks I think there's a good argument to be made that the prosperity/health-and-wealth/name-it-and-claim-it heresy has caused serious damage to the American church (and through it, America).
@RAnthony Oh yeah, the randos-in-mentions level is very high on birdfeed right now.
I'm also increasingly suspecting that another attack vector is malicious/sleazy advertising on media sites. Hard to take a site seriously when malware is throwing scam popups in front of its articles, etc.
