  • Wtf? No I’m not defending anyone, are you serious? I’m just saying that the fucking newspaper headline is accurate and isn’t disparaging/insensitive to the victim in the situation.

    Jesus fucking christ you are primed and ready to fucking go with your outrage. The article didn’t mention anything about the victim being a minor when they met, or about her being groomed. If that’s the case, yeah super fucked up, no shit. I literally opened the article after reading the post I responded to, read it, saw that it said the victim and Epstein were in a consensual relationship, then he raped her a year later.

    If I’m missing context blame the article, not me dude.



  • While I get your point, the TV isn’t nice because of its app features. If it’s a nice TV it’s because of its display panel and features like upscaling, interpolation, etc., and it’s being subsidized by those built-in apps and tracking functionality.

    By purchasing a nice TV, never using the built-in apps, and never connecting the TV to the Internet (or better yet connecting it to a segregated VLAN and dropping literally all traffic to/from the TV), you’re costing the company money on that TV set. Or probably more accurately you’re like the credit card user that maximizes their point rewards while paying off the balance every paycheck, you’re profiting off people who are in debt to their credit card company for whatever reason.

    To be clear, I have a G series LG OLED that is not only in its own VLAN with no traffic allowed in or out, but I drop all DNS that isn’t coming from my pihole at the WAN port on my edge router, I watch stuff from a secondary device, and most everything I watch is pirated and streamed locally anyway, so I’m definitely subsidizing my entertainment with the privacy invasion of others. If I could get an OLED tv without any of the built in OS stuff I absolutely would, and would be willing to pay more for a SKU with that stuff stripped out, but afaik that’s just not possible.
