The Dark Web is full of honey pots set by the FBI. Chances are, you're never going to find an actual hitman for hire without it being a sting operation.

Oh, I looked at the back of the book. Yeah I didn't know they dared trying to mess with the FBI, VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, NATO and more.

Yeah, that's going to paint a lot of targets on you. Wondered what got into their minds to do all of that.

What about them? Pffft...dude, they'd rather make fun of lolcows all day and pretend that they're still in their edgy teenage years where worshiping Hitler and dropping the N word was the coolest thing to do to them.

Yeah I mean, it would really be nice right now to have some body around that can contend and combat the legions of crazy QAnon/MAGA people online. But I guess that really isn't in their interest.

It took SOPA/PIPA to get them to act for a while. I don't know, they run off of arbitrary rules only they themselves know to keep the mystique up. It's like when we needed them the most - they're sometimes there. When we kinda sorta don't need/want them, they just show up randomly.

I think the dawning of the Chromebooks was really a huge sign. Sure you could install Linux on some of the early models. But then Google just caught on to this and decided to take even that away. So now you had all of these Chromebooks that can only ever run ChromeOS and whatever Google approved that could run on them. You just can't do jackshit with them because they were also online-only.

And those were pushed onto everyone, particularly schools.

You can edit the main post you know.

And anyone that performs any successful hack, can also declare themselves as part of Anonymous.

It stopped being about self-defense, if anyone ever bothered trailing what Israel had been doing.

But, go watch the prime minister declare everyone anti-semantic anyways over this.

I think their direction has gone astray mixed with losing general interest mixed with aging mixed with getting caught. I think Anonymous now has just turned into a parody of itself thanks for 4chan (yeah I know it was born there) who turned it into a symbol of just shitposting trolling than doing the right things.

They used to have been prominent during the days when SOPA and PIPA had been brought up. Since then, activity has dwindled.

Trump definitely will.

He is a symbol for a large part of America where people will look at and wonder '...why?' even if they understood. Trump is just a symbol of everything wrong with America contained.

Vegeta.

Akira personally doesn't like him, which may explain so much as to why Vegeta really never got too much of the spotlight as Goku did. Sure, Saiyan Saga Vegeta is an irredeemable prick but by Freiza saga, he actually developed gradually. His complaints of being second to Goku gets tiring at times but it's a vessel he uses to actually keep going on.

It is because of him firing off that energy ki to Cell, is what gave Gohan the advantage he needed to finish Cell off for good since he was struggling even with Goku's help.

I just like the progress of Vegeta's character build. I like that even though he's not prodigy he was lead to believe in surpassing Goku, he's still second-best compared to the rest.

 

Mine is - Algorithm. Ever since people have learned some of the inner workings of how content is suggested to them, that became the new spammed word that easily got exhausted within the week of it being used.

Yeah, an algorithm does indeed pitch you things of what to watch or listen to. But there's more going on than that, but people all the time just stop at that word and expect everyone to suddenly understand it. Sadly, most people just buy it at face value.

Dumb TVs. I love the option to turn it into a pseudo-smart TV with just a streaming stick. But, I'm always okay with a TV that just has the ports for basic things.

 

Seeing all that you grew up with, pass away. With the recent passing of James Earl Jones, I've said that the world is losing more color with the likes of him that passed.

Over the years, I've found that the things I've grown up with to know about with what they've done, what they've influenced and the chain of events that were caused because of them in a positive light, just vanish.

And I like others, have the unfortunate reality to hear and see them go away. Akira Toriyama, Kentaro Miura, Satoru Iwata, Leiji Matsumoto .etc

Those are few of the names I've listed as examples where moving on in life without them in the world is just a bit hard to get accustomed to. I mean, I guess the silver lining is that we'll be joining them someday soon since that's the cycle of life for you. But for now it just currently sucks.

 

I have a habit of beginning nearly any other thing with 'So'.
