Signal requires a phone number, I use Signal.
How does encrypted email work when we are discussing messaging platforms?
Do you trust using third party encryption keys or are you going to get everybody you meet to learn PGP.

Not when you pay with cash a few towns away.
I can go to a supermarket and buy a phone and SIM for less than £10.
Just buy a burner. Use it once to sign up and throw it away.
I guess I was wondering if there had been studies on the effectiveness of unions and looking at how many, if not negligible, have had reported cases of corruption and / or fraud.
Like I say I do believe unions do more good for workers than bad, but I also do believe that any organisation that gets to a certain size is inevitably going to be corrupt as the people that are going to be corrupt will do what is necessary to rise to the top.
I’m not doubting this but I wonder if there is any data to support this claim.
As it would be good ammunition to counter the anti-union rhetoric.
I guess because it’s absurd you’ll remember it easier.
Kind of how people can recall a deck of cards by placing a person doing an action to an object (PAO) in familiar places. It’s the absurdity that makes you remember.
Tell that to Radiohead and the people that previously sued Radiohead over Creep and had writing credits added for it.
As I mentioned it was more than the progression, but the melody too. As to my understanding of music theory, which isn’t my field of expertise, in this particular chord progression the melody one would put over the progression is further limited.
Edit: Here you can find mention to the songs used in lawsuits
Edit: Here is someone discussing this who has more musical knowledge than I
IMO music copyright has gone too far. Have a look at the Creep - Radiohead chord progression of I, III, IV, and iV.
There have been a few lawsuits over using the same chord progression, but with music theory there are only so many permutations before you end up arriving at the same logical places. The same is quite true for overlaying melodies to this particular progression.
I just noticed some of the typos in my comment.
I hate iPhone predicative text changing my words and offering silly suggestions.
Thanks for sharing.
Although, I abhor your countries neutrality. Take WWII for instance, being neutral kind of says yeah we are cool with both sides.
Also, your banking laws are a cancer on the rest of the world, but I shouldn’t throw stones from my glass house in the UK since we are also very good at offshoring money for deplorable people.
I will say I am fond of your progressive policies on terms of drug use and help for those that want it.
I’m shocked, but happy, that they actually got jail time.
4.5 years for the parents and 4 years for the son and his wife respectively. I think jail time for people like this is the only way we can make sure they don’t do it again, a fine is no use when you’re richer than god.
The royal family are not the richest. Sure they have assets but most of it they can’t really sell.
They’re scroungers and I hope one day we oust them. How can we bang on about equality whilst holding parasites on a pedestal.
Ecstasy.
Yet they still take money every year. Scroungers and pedophiles.
How so?
If the idea is to get people talking about their ideology, then we can be sure it’s worked.
I support this.
Actual monsters. I know you don’t get this rich by being generous but god damn. Unless people like this do get jail time then nothing will change.
The agreement I posted the link to is the one you’re mentioning isn’t it?
Do the zionists play no role in why Hamas has done what they have done?
In all honesty the situation is fucked and it’s a result of my government giving Israel someone else’s land in the first place. For centuries Jews and Palestinians lived peacefully together until the Israeli Zionist’s started taking more and more land. Which resulted in Hamas being born and the many one sided wars that proceeded. Ultimately my sympathy lies with the Palestinians more than the Israeli settlers and there really isn’t a solution as Israel have had a blood lust since WWII which is strange as you would think that people that went through that wouldn’t become the monsters that tried to wipe them out.
If you’re curious about reading more on the Palestinian point of view I would recommend Norman Finkelstein, a very educated Jewish person who has studied this his whole life. There are plenty of Jews in and out of Israel that don’t support these actions and Tel Aviv regular has protests against the war. They could have had their loved ones back months ago, but Bibi is a vengeful bastard and has the backing of other vengeful bastards in the USA.
The second the USA left Afghanistan the Taliban was back and the same will be true for Hamas. The best thing Israel can do is stop the settlers, give Palestinians a fair shot at life and they will vote out Hamas themselves. Or they can go to war with the entire Middle East of which they will not win unless they drag the west in too.
Do you really think you can eliminate Hamas? How did it go for the Americans in Afghanistan and the Taliban? You can’t eliminate an ideology.
In fact the more innocent people you murder the more you secure the next round of recruits, when people have nothing left to lose they will seek vengeance.
Hamas wants civilian casualties.
Israel is just sick enough to honour that goal I see.
I’ll await the ICC and ICJ outcomes. The fact is Israel is an apartheid state and has the support of the world to commit a genocide.
You sound insufferable. Thank goodness we can block people here.
You’re missing a fundamental issue with these suggestions and even signal. In that the vast majority of people don’t care.
It’s great being on signal with two of my friends whilst the other 50 use WhatsApp which I refuse to do.
