I feel like this has been an intentional "flood the zone" with the Epstein files. Originally if you were "in" the Epstein files it meant you were involved. But they released every fucking non-incriminating email which had normal discussions about public matters so now context is required otherwise everyone just happens to be in the Epstein files now.

    In Trump's first term he generally acted as a helmsman to the vast ship of the party and the country, trying to steer things in his new direction. This had a limiting effect on his actions, but also an insulating effect; he was never the cause of the failure (at least in his mind).

    This is some revisionist history. He had no idea what he was doing other than trying to play the media and being combative. He selected mostly standard Republicans for his cabinet which tried to steer the ship. Trump was too busy drawing sharpies on hurricane maps to steer shit.

    The last time I came across a fingerprinting website I wasn't able to make any noticiable dent in its ability to fingerprint me. I'm running like 6 different addons and they don't seem to have any affect on this site. I've not really been able to find projects that are successful against fingerprinting.

    This website has a bunch of hows after every statement but just scrolling to the bottom without digging doesn't give a clear answer how to fix the issue.

    Also why is a browser giving up specific details about my system? Like my specific CPU and GPU shouldn't need to be shareable. Is there an addon that spits out random information for every request? I used to take the time to find the most common Useragent string and set mine to that, but with browsers just giving up such details it seems worthless effort.

    I remember this was one of the first prerelease videos of the game where the game disappointed me. HL2 was good, but there are elements in this video that the game didn't live up to.

    The last video that crushed my hype was only a couple years later with Spore. After spore was released I've never cared for prerelease videos for video games.
