Of course, citizen.
"And do you accept the Lord as your personal savior?"
I dunno. What is his security clearance?

One of the greatest unsung gems in cinema history. As relevant today as it was then (probably moreso).
And with added Harrison Ford.

The US backing itself into a corner & throwing away allies with its trade wars and wrapping itself up in a warm blanket of paranoia..
"The U.S. government has banned American government personnel in China, as well as family members and contractors with security clearances, from any romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese citizens"

Welcome Troubleshooters!
Congratulations on your promotion.
You have been determined to be the most intelligent, most capable, most handsomest, most disposable minimum viable candidates available.
Friend Computer expects great things from you.
Or else.
Know that #racism is (at a #psychological level) #paranoia and #narcissism. They are problems of the human psyche that most people ignore - especially if they are afflicted.
When distortions become reality, you live between dimensions, somewhere between reality - and fiction.
What's necessary is to break down that fiction, to bring clarity, to lighten the weight of fear, the hatred for others - and the self - from their shoulders, for it is the only way to cull racism.

I think of the great JD Salinger quote from his recurring character Seymour Glass:
“I'm a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.”
Whenever I'm actually in a good mood for no apparent reason, wondering if I'm manic or having some other insidious problem rather than just sleeping a full night and not being too sore and doing and enjoying things I like.

Voor mij wel, zie bijv. https://www.security.nl/posting/856399/ASN+hoeft+slachtoffer+van+bankhelpdeskfraude+niet+te+vergoeden.
In https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/113987804370380156 beschreef ik dat nep-bankhelpdeskmedewerkers je kunnen vragen om een *virusscanner* te installeren (een lijstje met nepwebsites vind je in https://www.security.nl/posting/874752/Telefonie%3A+geen+authenticatie en de laatste nep Avast websites hieronder).
Wat in de eerste screenshot hieronder staat is dus niet het hele verhaal; criminelen verzinnen voortdurend nieuwe technieken.
Iedereen kan daar slachtoffer van worden. Banken bellen soms WEL en het is onmogelijk om, op voldoende BETROUWBARE wijze, vast te stellen of een beller is wie zij/hij zegt te zijn.
Als je denkt niet belazerd te kunnen worden, moet je eens naar een show van illusionist Victor Mids kijken.

Because I can run a #solarpunk story with #DnD , with #cyberpunkRed, with #paranoia and even FATAL.
I just admit that I will be working without the main design philosophies of those games, often against them. None of them were written to tell the stories I want to tell.
As I said, we had multiple examples of people running non-violent D&D 5E - often with just single skill-checks.
It's just not what I want
#Racism is (psychologically) cultivated paranoia and narcissism - by way of politics.
I.e "they're inferior" is #narcissism, or "they're coming to take our jobs" is #paranoia.
Then it's false pride, historical revisionism and delusions of grandeur, that leads to NPD.
The "us vs them" is literally the pack instinct being constantly triggered and trained to forgo rational thinking, leading to PPD.
Stir and blend, blend and stir, AND BAM: #racism.
@ricardoharvin I'm so sick of that argument. No, it doesn't.
Take it from someone who has had mental illness and who is on the spectrum. It's one of the biggest stigmas in the world.
Also, words have several meanings depending upon discipline - and in #psychology #racism is an umbrella term for #paranoia and #narcissism - which are huge problems nowadays. Both NPD and PPD are rampant.
You don't want to deal with that? You don't want to deal with the source - and that is pissing in the wind.
Today I have the Eye of Sauron here with me in the kitchen. You know, just watching me prepare breakfast. Hard to endure...

Gerade den #SimpleX-Messenger kennengelernt und zum ersten Mal ausprobiert. Sieht auf den ersten Blick vielversprechend aus, wenngleich gar nicht massentauglich
Interessantes Konzept. Man hat keine User-ID und teilt statt dessen einen Link. Der Link kann ein Dauerlink auf ein eigenes Profil sein, kann aber auch ein Einmallink sein. Gleich mal Video-Telefonie getestet ... geht prima!

When did you first start worrying for humankind?

My latest post concerns the moment that I became uncertain about the survival of a species, thanks to an otherwise typical bus journey.

»Das ökumenische Netzwerk "Church and Peace" hat die Europäische Union angesichts aktueller Entwicklungen vor einer drohenden Aufrüstungsspirale gewarnt. Es sei unverantwortlich, eine Vorkriegssituation zu deklarieren und damit massive Aufrüstung zu legitimieren, erklärte die Organisation am Mittwoch in Berlin. Damit drohe die Gefahr einer "selbsterfüllenden Prophezeiung".«
