TET: A fish called Wanda, a sheep called Violet

Well, that's weird. This thread currently doesn't appear in the list when I click on "View your posts". Not the first time that happened. It probably has something to do with that untouchable uniqueness that defines TET as a NationStates General entity.

Thursday morning maintanence, it's 3:30 am where the servers live.

Yet it always tends to be TET that suddenly disappears from the list for a short while. The other NationStates General threads I fool around in are not affected. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but that's how it appears on my screen.

Indeed, it's hiding.

But to no avail, for I always manage to find this place again.

I didn't say it was very good at it. It seems to want to shake me as well.

Well, maybe the total destruction of online privacy for American citizens, as made possible by the overwhelming majority of the Republicans in congress, may do the trick. There are probably a few corners of the internet you've visited that would destroy your real life credibility as soon as your web surfing habits are bought and made public by corporate, ideological and/or religious entities outside your control.

If the bill passes the senate, I will start using and encrypted VPN via an anonymous host., bad guys always find a way.

Time to watch "Bright Eunsu".

My jimmies have been slightly rustled.

Depending on who you're asking, that might mean that you're doing it right. The value of 'it' may or may not be undecided, though.

Moronic statements.

The Brexit as a concept is moronic by default, so it is inevitable. Fits nicely in the geopolitical strategy of the Kremlin, though.

At least the Democrats all voted in favor of maintaining internet privacy, but it wasn't enough. Also it should be noted that there were a few Republican delegates that voted in favor of maintaining internet privacy as well, but most of them unfortunately didn't.

They could have stopped it in the senate but Paul and Isakson decided to not vote.

Fuuck I hate this job. Start of the month I told my boss that I want to resign. He told me that I wouldn't have to visit any workshops in the meantime but that I'll have to wait for a bit before he lets me go.
Now it's nearly a month later and he just noticed that he put me in a workshop in another city for next week (several hours drive each day) and that he can't let me go till end of July. Pondering whether I should just call in sick for the next few weeks. Legally, he only has one month for that stuff.

[Vassenor]

So today I was going to try and get a load of work done.

Which means my computer decided today was when it was going to run through several big update cycles all needing restarts.

Bleh.

Wait if you want to resign it takes a month? In the US it's customary to take two weeks and that's it.

Well that's one positive thing about American employment stuff then, I guess

I dnot think the bill reached the senate.

I mean, I get what they're trying to do, and that's making sure people are doing what they're supposed to do, but they're going about it the wrong way. Honestly, they should have secret FBI monitors looking at all the .tor sites that are notorious for illegal activity, and go after the people who made the site, and people who access the site instead of throwing everyone's anonimity out the window.

The original version of the bill. I should have clarified

That has absolutely nothing to do with what the bill is about. It's about private data collection, not law enforcement.

The thing that is interesting about it is that the threat to privacy, historically has been from the government. The constitution itself is a document that limits the government. Even 50 years ago no one thought the threat to privacy would be from the private sector, not the public one. Today the government has checks on what it can do, companies like oracle, Google or experian, not so much.
