Did you tell her yes?

And more importantly, was she?

Who dat

Edward Snowden, whistleblower from the CIA during, I wanna say the early Obama administration, ran off to Russia to avoid castration

Is he a good boy or a bad boy

On the one hand he exposed programs intended to spy on the american populace

on the other he likely gave the reds state secrets

depends on your perspective. he told the world that their governments were spying on them via their computers

and it wasn't just the US

Seems kinda vague

governments all over the world were giving US access to track phone and computer traffic of their citizens. in return for data sharing

apply some google fu for more specifics, we're just randos on the internet

Hmm I can't trust google

...duck duck go fu?

Doesn't have the same ring

we call it "duck it"

Oh yeah that's much better.

Is your name pronounced like "pootz" or like "putz"

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
