I say "pootzy"

"Let me be clear: any statement that mass surveillance is not performed in New Zealand, or that the internet communications are not comprehensively intercepted and monitored, or that this is not intentionally and actively abetted by the GCSB, is categorically false. If you live in New Zealand, you are being watched. At the NSA I routinely came across the communications of New Zealanders in my work with a mass surveillance tool we share with GCSB, called “XKEYSCORE.” "

lol, putz, but i've heard it all

especially from non-americans

some people refuse to even use it, because its derogatory and their local customs don't allow it

Where?

It's always good to have some local insults on hand

not legally, customs

it's derogatory everywhere, but in yiddish it means penis, in germany it's nitwit, in general it means a stupid or worthless person

Yeah here in missouri it generally means someone being a clutz, not coordinated and whatnot. Always glad to learn the word for penis in a new language tho

need to know how to order what you want at the brothel? lol, jk

nah for that I'd need to learn how to say "the lot"

good thing wide, all encompassing gestures do the trick

that's what hand gestures are for

I read that cloudward article @Putz

there's movies and books on it, but basically everyone is watching your stuff. You don't need to worry any more about russia than you do about the NSA

as i've told my wife after she watched the movie and she asked if they are still doing it. "the people who said they weren't doing it, are now saying they aren't doing it any more" take that for what you will

Im gonna be honest. Im not sure theres much I can do so idk how much said alarmism will accomplish

Why let the Russians spy on your people when you can do it yourself

Use tor, use TAILS, use a VPN, move to the woods of rural Idaho, live off the grid, hunt and farm for food, shoot and eat taxmen who come to your door

as the founders intended

K

Use one of those tin foil wrapped rooms like McAfee

yeah build your own faraday cage

I didn't realize that putz wasn't a more universally understood term

you can secure transmissions using VPN, use more secure OS's like TAILS, use safer browsers like TOR, use safer email (like protonmail), use external camera and microphone and disconnect them when not in use

like @Louis Carlos Fer said

Yeah eating taxmen is completely optional though

guess you could steal an identity, then your free to do what you want, then just steal another identity when you want a clean slate

worked for creed on the office :p

That sounds like paying for credit cards with credit cards but with data

Lol that's literally what Creed did

Guys, I think I figured it out: that random congresswoman was just holding one of these side-loading bolt-action ar-15s in 50bmg

she is 16 years old iirc, which only makes the whole thing worse
