I dont need any tips thank you, or advice on how I should or shouldnt conduct myself.
I am offended at the accusation that I may be an aior hjave used ai. I am human.
every word I wrote stand by. I am perfectly entitled to my opinion
This feels more like passive aggressive anger to me. One minute my comments are true and the next I need a fucking tip.
Now, this is a subject of which I am an expert.
I am a retired psychotherapist with 25 years of psychotherapy practice under my belt.
I am have a masters degree in Integrative Psychotherpy, I am a Transactional Analysts. I am a member of the International Transactional Analysis Association. I used to be a registered Play Therapist. I have 20 years of ongoing continued professional development behind me. I have read enough research to make me blind. I have worked as a psychotherapist within the NHS Community mental health services.
I have spent half my life helping people to live a better life.
Inept and inane replies are just projections of unresolved anger, that people carry around and are tormented by them every waking hour, and are too afraid of their anger to address and confront the people or person they should be angry with.
I always wonder how these people will eventually project all their own shit onto their children, damage them for life, only to carry the same Transgenerational trauma into the next generation.
I am no expert on covid vaccines and It doesnt that really matter when I have a valid opinion.
I love you. stop being an arsehole.
luck has nothing to do with anything. I dont do luck. Its like waiting for father christmas and he never arrives.
If anyone has the ability to be open and self reflective it is must me.

The cypherpunk manifesto, 9th March 1993
32 years ago we faced the same nightmare. I was 37 years old back then.
We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any.
We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place.
People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers.
The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.
Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.
Privacy is not secrecy.
A private matter is something one doesn’t want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn’t want anybody to know.
Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.
Hey Zerush
Safety first
that sounds like hell to me.
If that ever happened, I for certain would stop using the internet, cancel my broadband subscription, buy a dumb phone and act like a dim wit, who hasnt got a clue.
You forgot about a compulsory little placard proclaiming the wonders of our political leader.
Something like;
I love The Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer KCB KC MP.
Now that is a muppet if I ever saw one.
It could be a trumpian version of course for USA residenst.
I love Big Don
your a star ScoffingLizard
keep at it
hey survirtual
Thank you.
I am no expert as you can see.
Until recently, I had not had a tetanus since I was a child. Then I had a left sided hemicolectomy and had to have one in hospital
we only seem to find out about a tetanus top up, if we attend a hospital, because of a bad cut, or need an operation in the UK. I dont think it is common knowledge.
The anthrax vacccine is not prescribed for the general public here in the UK. It is used for military personnel only, due to the worry of a biological attack.
Through the initial stages of the Iraq war, 22% of our military refused the anthraz vaccine, after a period of time, when the threat level of a biological attack became almost zero, rates of refusal nearly tripled from 22% to 59%.
The infant vaccination programme in Britain does not include Smallpox, that was discontinued in 1971.
good news for new yorkers
I first became aware of nitrites and nitrates during my years as an aquarist/fishkeeper.
Nitrites and Nitrates are deadly to the fish population in an aquarium.
Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate: (The Nitrogen Cycle)
You do tank cycling when setting up an aquaium, by adding Ammonia to the water, to start developing nitrites and then nitrates, regularly testing until the ammonia and nitries are at zero, and the nitrates less than 20ppm.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
Nitrites are NO2 …Nitrates are NO3
Nitrate is an intermediate oxidation state between Ammonium NH4+ and N2 gas in the Nitrogen cycle.
Nitrites are toxic to fish above 0ppm
Nitrates are safe up to 20ppm.
This is why aquarists accidentally kill their fish in the early days of setting up their aquarium.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If they kill fish what is the harm to humans.
Here in the UK I only eat cured meat that has no nitrites or nitrates.
Over the last 10 years, I have seen an explosion of companies offering nitrate and nitrite free products.
The bacon, sausages and Prosciutto I eat, is cured with apple juice.
A few years ago the EU brought in legislation to substantially reduce or remove nitrite and nitrate use from the food industry.
I’m all for reducing the cancer risk using an apple juice substitute.
Plus its of benefit to those on ketogenic diets, as we do consume a huge amount of meats, especially bacon for breakfast.
The covid jab is not a vaccine.
It became a vaccine after the W.H.O. changed the definition of what a vaccine was.
I have had all my childhood vaccines, measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough) and polio and have been immune from these diseases all my life. This is what a vaccine is supposed to do, These are true vaccines that work.
I do not have to go back every year to have a top up.
Before the change; the definition of “vaccination” read.
The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce “immunity” to a specific disease.
Now, it reads:
The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce “protection” to a specific disease
The word “immunity” has been changed to “protection.”
which means, that you were “immune” and now you are just “protected”.
In reality you are only protected against the symptoms of covid, you do not become immune to covid.
Hence the continual annual top up jab, more colloquially known as “the booster”.
So its not a vaccine.
This is fact! not conspiracry theory.
We could send in the passports of our entire family by post.
With the names and adresses of our children’s school’s and school teachers.
you could then contact the teachers directly to confirm that the children are of age.
Then, Go online and spread the “we have nothing to hide”, “we must protect our children” mantra.
yep! thats sounds about right, for a one eyed, single celled mollusc, living under a nuclear radiated rock.
LOL!
To the legislators of Mississippi.
one of my favourite songs: Tough shit wilson by Splodgenessabounds. great band
Tough shit was born in Mississippi (orignially Tennessee*) He was deaf and dumb, he measured 4 foot 3 He had one arm, one leg, no teeth, and one plum He married a girl in 62, she was a 60 year old leper, called Mary Lou But she died of cancer on her anniversary
[Chorus:] They call him toughshit, toughshit Wilson Toughshit, thoughshit was his name Toughshit was left with a baby son, who died on leukemia, at the age of one And toughshit was left with his guide doggy called roach Till one day crossing with his dog on a wee doach But roach didn’t see the coach approach And the wheels rolled gently over toughshits head
I think a doach is a railway track, but Im not sure, its scottish. Who the fuck can understand those bastards.
[Chorus:] They call him toughshit, toughshit Wilson And toughshit was his name They call him toughshit And toughshit was his claim to fame At tough shits funeral, no one came The vicar was late and it poured with rain They dropped the coffin down a flight of stairs But let us not forget toughshits pain And perhaps he never died in vein but when it comes to that Who fucking cares, not me I don’t See upcoming rock shows Get tickets for your favorite artists
I must say you guys in the USA do have a hard time with your shit carriers.
I would never root any phone, there really is no need. I have bricked many rooted phones and it is totally unsafe and insecure. I think its the equivalent of using windows XP.
Here is a guide; It might give you an idea. Its quite a simple process to follow.

I feel for you.
training ai on your photo’s without even asking. wankers
I have just copied my elderly friends 2000 photos from google photos to my desktop, then deleted all of them from her phone. Had to do it with my browser, they only allow you to delete 30 photos at a time on the phone. tossers.
Installed droid-ify, installed lawnchair, fossify gallery, fossify messages, fossify contacts. perfect.
imported her photos back on to her phone:
Intentionally painful but its done.
bring on ADB, I have deleted everything with a G in it.
first one: I wrote a simple little bash script for these:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.chrome
okgoogle, xgoogle, Gmail, calender, Calendar Sync, videos, googlequicksearchbox, youtube, music, Google Contacts Sync, googleassistant, Google Digital Well Being App, Google Duo, Google Pay, google photos and Google Drive with adb so its doesnt happen again.
This poor women is 84, WTF does she know about modern tech, google are tossers

I would get rid of fairphone rom and install another rom:
unlock your bootloader. easy guide from Fairphone.
then install lineage or E/os custom rom
Hey ScoffingLizard
I am always the sceptic, but I have read that the monocles browser uses the monocles webview.
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.monocles.browser/
It says here: In the defaults, the monocles browser uses the monocles webview
here it is more in depth:
basically they are saying that unless you are using an up to date custom rom, currently android 15 on my lineage phone, there maybe security issues with webview
https://docs.monocles.eu/apps/browser.app/
Limitations and Known Issues#
Security Issues#
As monocles Browser is based upon the WebView component, it is dependant of the underlying Android ROM and it’s updates.#
We thus recommend to use the latest available Version of Android for your device and - if necessary - upgrade to an aftermarket ROM like:
DivestOS
/e/
LineageOS
If a device has no modern firmware updates anymore and Aftermarket - Firmware is just not available, then please consider a different Browser like Fennec, which is privacy-enhanced version of Firefox for Android nee Firefox Mobile or Tor Browser which you can also get via F-Droid by adding or enabling the Guardian Project repository.
My bank alone has closed 99 of its high street branches this year.
I used to do a 2 minute walk to my local bank, then they started closing them further and further afield, until I now have to drive 20 minutes to my bank.
I am predominantly a cash man.
I dont buy anything online from any of the big names like Amazon etc. I search around until I find what I want in a store that I can drive to.
To be honest I would rather spend an hour driving to a store, and pay the extra money on petrol, than pay poxy rip off delivery charges and waste my valuable time waiting in for the wankers.
I also avoid all banking apps like the plague, in fact all apps that are recommended by any store staff. not that I can install them on lineage phone anyway.
I can only login into my online bank via VPN if I am using French server. I dont know how long that will last. I refuse to allow my ISP access to my online habits.
I am gutted that the UK government closed down all our bitcoin ATM’s. This was the first warning sign something was going to change. Take away our freedoms yet again
At least when bitcoin was cheaper a few years ago, I could spend some money out of my state pension, buy £20 worth and save for the future.
I would be a zillionaire by now Rodney! LOL
But this ultimately leads us into the government crypto currency (Central bank digital currency) when we will all be fucked, because they will control everything.
I recently changed my gas and electricy supplier because they would not let me pay online while I had my VPN on, even if I was using a UK based server. wankers, didnt want my money, so I dumped them. My new provider is better and I can pay anywhere in the world.
All they want is everyone to have a fucking smart meter installed, so they can rip us off and charge extra for using gas and electricity in the early evening peak period, when we are cooking for our families, and bathing our children. Wankers!
FOSS browser, FREE browser, Privacy browser and monocles browser are all pretty similar to me.
For basic browsing I am sure they are all OK.
monocles browser will switch to a custom WebView called Privacy Webview.
https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-android/core-privacy-principles/
I use the monocles browser (rebranding of Privacy browser) for quick searches with javascript and cookies turned off as default.
For instance, if I am searching git for something and I see what I want, I enable javascript with the button, to see the latest releases and download sections.
I like the turn on javascript button. and the selection of EasyList , easy privacy, fanboys annoyances list, Ultra list and Ultra privacy list for adblocking and tracking.
From what I remember they all have the Delete browser data on exit. Monocles Browser makes it easier to “clear and exit” for me.
To clear, history, cookies etc. The “CLEAR AND EXIT” button is at the top of the left side drop down menu, so it is easier to find. unlike the others where it is at the bottom of the drop down menu.
I suppose its all about choice and personal preference.
Hey utopiah
It does seem pointless to me that people get hung up on browser loading speeds.
Its like that old Bruce lee quote from Enter the Dragon:
Don’t Concentrate On The Finger Or You Will Miss All That Heavenly Glory.
hey Hexarei
I know, a fatal error on my part
pedantic is OK
Hey some_kind_of_guy
Thank you.
you are very kind, I am glad you found it funny, I do try my best.
You never know what sort of feedback you will get.
After all there are 8.5 billion different opinions in the world.
I sound like gemini or copilot. Not bad for a 69 year old.
Wow! I heard some difficult personal feedback, learning about things I did not know about myself, in the weekly process group during my psychotherapy training, but sounds like gemini or copilot, I would have said that sounds more like Projective identification
Projective identification is an unconscious phantasy in which aspects of the self or an internal object are split off and attributed to an external object.
Ironfox again.
Ironfox with uBlock Origin is far superior to Brave.
I also use monocles browser. a simple browser, I like that java and cookies are turned off and you can activate them with a button on individual sites.
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.monocles.browser/
I would never ever use Brave or any chrome fork.
I’m not a fan of the Brave web browser and do not recommend it. Chromium codebase is always unsafe.
Brave talks up how privacy and security focused they totally are, and it’s mostly hot air for their user base of infosec mall ninjas.
Brave blocked ads, then they replaced the ads with their own ads. Brave set up a weird cryptocurrency scam, the BAT token. Brave hijacked affiliate links. I do not consider Brave a trustworthy organisation.

my browser is faster than your browser, fantasy penis envy,
and not cubensis penis envy.
why are people so fixated on browser speeds,
A millisecond is imperceptable to the human eye.
can you type faster on an android keyboard than the page loads. NO!
Its all BS, how do you deternmine that one browser is faster than another.
From slowest to fastest, the results were as follows:
Zen Browser: 2.20 seconds
LibreWolf: 2.16 seconds
Chromium: 1.95 seconds
Firefox: 1.93 seconds
Arc: 1.81 seconds
Microsoft Edge: 1.31 seconds
Safari: 1.29 seconds
Thorium: 1.23 seconds
Brave: 1.17 seconds
Opera: .81 seconds
Chrome: .70 seconds
Hey ScoffingLizard
I think it is already here:
The anti-immigrant right wing fascists have been out in force in my area.
They have been having get togethers in my local high street. Big muscles, shaven heads, tattoos, anabolic steroid body building users, standing with their legs apart to intimidate those walking past them, wankers. They have serious male identity issues.
I went out for a drive this morning down to my local river for a long walk.
All the mini roundabouts in my local area, there are about 10 of them on the way to the river, have been painted red with the George Cross.
I remember the skinheads from the Mid 70’s. Gangs of short haired boys, with Doc marten boots and Ben Sherman shirts, travelling around in cars, beating up anyone with a black or brown skin.
I knew quite a few of them and I always thought they were wankers, Absolutely useless on a “one on one” fist fight, but in gang they would attack any single male. Brave bastards they were.
The most frustrating thing of all is that they considered themselves pure bloods. Pure blood english. There is no such thing. simple minded wankers.
They have not even thought about our history, with everyone in Europe invading and occupying us at one time or other. The Romans, The Vikings, The Normans, the Jutes and Anglo-Saxons etc etc, they were not english. Pure bloods they say.
This Reminds me of your ICE teams over there.
You can see the similarities in Nineteen Eighty-Four:
Each state is self-supporting and self-enclosed: emigration and immigration are forbidden, as are international trade and the learning of foreign languages
Sounds familiar doesnt it.
