Apple caves, gives FBI tools to break encryption

Shocking.

[The Wizard Joseph]

I have a sneaking suspicion that the endgame here is federal licensing for encryption and STEEP penalties for unlicensed possession and use of encryption software and other methods of the practice. Any licensed entity will have to sign a contract with the feds allowing access under VERY broad terms indeed.

"What have you got to hide if you're not doing anything wrong?"

The solitaire algorithm may be the only way to carry a hard encryption key, uh, low key so to speak.

The only way to reliably have secure communications without attracting attention these days is to speak around the subject.  Which only works with people you know.

Somehow Italians tend to do this naturally with other Italians. I'm pretty good at it. It's nearly impossible to convey specific data though.

"Pauly, he ain't doing so good after that thing. He's gonna need to have a sit down real soon or he could fall  over pretty hard, capice?"

Really, its just standard "give-and-take" relationship... recently the FBI helped hunt and shut down unofficial repair shops of Iphones.

Or was it the DHS? I dont remember, but the point is that theyre so deep inside each other's pants and massaging their balls mutually and consentually.

So, apparently Jordan Peterson went on an all beef diet, got a benzo addiction and went to Russia to get put into a coma for a week to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Now he can't use his legs.

I've got no source beyond "I was told this" and I'm not looking for one either because it's fucking hilarious.

This is all true, although I hadn't heard about the beef diet.

Also, his daughter said they went to Russia because doctors here 'didn't have the guts' to treat withdrawal by putting him in a coma.

Usually I feel bad about making fun of stories of addiction and its consequences, but ever since I was kinda forced to see the  Zizek vs. Peterson debate, this is hilarious - fucking pseudo humanist christian neoliberal shitlord Mr. GoodyPants.

That and Russian doctors aren't in thrall to Big Pharma like US ones. If you have any passing knowledge of medicine in Russia, you'll know that this is hilarious.

It's also suspect as fuck.

Rich people in Russia don't get treated in Russia. They go to London, or New York or LA, or some fancy, quiet hotel in Montenegro and get the doctor flown in. And Peterson was pulling, what was it, 80k a month just in Patreon subs? Never mind speaking engagements, whatever forward and profits he got from 12 Rules and so on.

There is no way you would go to Russia to treat addiction with his kind of money. Now if you were looking to covertly feed an addiction on the other hand...

[Junkenstein]

I just can't stop laughing about this most elegant example of dunning kruger. Everything else just adds to the delight.

[Junkenstein]

Also, 80 grand/month from paetreon? Jesus wept. My kingdom for that suckers list. Also money laundering implications about and "coma" and "loss of legs" take new possibilities.

Side effects of benzo overdose

Weakness, lack of coordination (neurological damage, may be permanent)

Hypotonia (muscle degeneration)

Coma

Possibly Death, but usually actual death is from other drugs like opiates respiratory suppression in a much weaker system thanks to the benzos hypotonia for example.

My bet is massive overdose resulted in prolonged coma and neurological damage and muscle deterioration making him unable to walk.

It's the only explanation other than badly tainted anesthesia that he would come out of a relatively short term coma unable to walk.

Jordan Petersen is fallen far from the light, and he can't get up.

I should feel bad for saying so, but I hope this gets worse for him. I hope his fans turn on him now that he is weak and powerless, and I hope he becomes a cautionary tale to scare off teenagers from becoming fascists. I hope he is mocked and derided till his dying day. I hope someone Dremels a penis onto his headstone. I hope someone Dremels a penis onto his head, actually.

I should feel bad, but instead I feel delight.

If I am a bad person for this, then I do not want to be good.

[Cain]

From what I've heard from both doctors and drug-taking friends, benzo addictions are fucking horrible. Like, the best case scenario is that he's already got a severely reduced lifespan as a result of the addiction.

But then you remember he had to know it was pretty bad, months and months before now. He'd have to be preaching self-discipline and tidying your room and literally blacking out, at this level of dependency. There's no way he couldn't have known just what a massive hypocrite he was being.

Wikipedia states that Peterson has been on rehab since September 2019... I dont understand why this wasnt news before???

Like literally I heard about this thing yesterday in here, and like 2 days ago in facebook but i thought it was an onion article.
