Well, whether it was the original owners or not you’d need some serious connections to avoid all sorts of perils from law enforcement and criminals.

Federal authorities expressed increased alarm Thursday about a long-undetected intrusion into U.S. and other computer systems around the globe that officials suspect was carried out by Russian hackers. The nation’s cybersecurity agency warned of a “grave” risk to government and private networks.

The hack compromised federal agencies and “critical infrastructure” in a sophisticated attack that was hard to detect and will be difficult to undo, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in an unusual warning message. The Department of Energy acknowledged it was among those that had been hacked.

Russia aren't much of a threat tbh, but China has apartment complexes full of teens and young 20-somethings who are paid by the government to sit there on their devices all day and go after the U.S. It wouldn't surprise me if we've been compromised for well over a decade now.

She Called Police Over a Neo-Nazi Threat. But the Neo-Nazis Were Inside the Police.

Quote:

Death threats linked to police computers and the discovery of far-right chat groups in police departments across Germany have fed concerns about far-right infiltration.

One image showed Hitler on a rainbow with the caption “Good night, you Jews.” There were images of concentration camp inmates and images mocking drowned refugees and people with Down syndrome.

Pulse Oximeter Devices Have Higher Error Rate in Black Patients

NYTimes

One of my favorite podcasts The Skeptics Guide to the Universe did a segment on why errors like this are indicative of systemic racism in the science community.

Top Glove says will no longer fire whistleblowers; opens helplines for workers

Unbelievable but true, there are countries, like Malaysia, where whistleblowers have no protection at all.

Top glove is one of the biggest companies in Malaysia and is the world's largest producer of medical hand gloves, which has increased its sales (and profit) more than 5 times this year and who is responsible for the single biggest cluster of Covid cases in Malaysia due to the inhumane conditions in which it keeps its workforce (mostly migrant workers from SE Asia). Who are of course, paid nothing.

This is what the rest of the world looks like. Zero protection of workers rights, zero concern for other people's wellbeing with a hundred percent focus on profit.

People are disgusting.


P.s. Another beautiful story from Malaysia, earlier this year there was an Al Jazeera documentary about how the Malaysian authorities are using the Covid crisis as an excuse to hunt down and expell undocumented migrant workers. One Bangladeshi fool decided to speak without the protection of cover. After the documentary came out, there was a nationwide manhunt to find him. He was laid off, put in prison and summarily deported. There was no explanation about how a government can do this to someone just for speaking out (he was not illegally employed and had a valid visa).

Third world countries...:/

Meanwhile in South Sudan

Quote:

LEKUANGOLE, South Sudan (AP) — After nearly a week of hiding from conflict, Kallayn Keneng watched two of her young children die. “They cried and cried and said, ‘Mom, we need food,‘” she said. But she had nothing to give. Too frail to bury her 5-year-old and 7-year-old after days without eating, she covered their bodies with grass and left them in the forest.

Recreational vehicle explodes in Nashville in apparent 'intentional act': Police

No significant injuries reported. They just don't make terrorists like they used to. They peaked with 9/11 and have been coasting off that legacy since then.

Ms. Groves had originally sent the video, in which she looked into the camera and said, “I can drive,” followed by the slur, to a friend on Snapchat in 2016, when she was a freshman and had just gotten her learner’s permit.

... As in nigga? With an a and not an er?

That's bull**** if so. I hope that snitch gets covid.

Frownland 12-26-2020 08:52 PM

The trust fund nazi deserved it.

jwb 12-26-2020 09:21 PM

Cause she said something dumb when she was 16?

The snitch is also obviously a trust fund brat who happened to have one black parent. Everything about the story and his pic suggests there's not a single % of hood in him. He's just another spoiled bitch looking for his moment of righteous indignation

Frownland 12-26-2020 09:23 PM

Yep. If it's ok to assume she was using the word casually, then it's just as Lawgickull to assume that she used it hatefully. At least the black guy that you don't agree with because he's not impoverished ain't a literal Nazi.

jwb 12-26-2020 09:33 PM

I didn't assume.. i said if she used the a instead of er that I inferred she wasn't being hateful based on the context of the quote.

The quote was "I can drive, nigga" sent via Instagram to her friend when she got her license. Do you really believe in that context the word was intended to display some sorta racial animosity?

Also...
