It's impossible to say for certain who's attacking Tor, but it's likely a nation-state. I don't think it's known who is attacking I2P or if the attacks are related. Many people rely on these networks for their personal privacy and safety. Until [GNUnet](/2023/02/14/article-the-internet-is-broken/) or something like it provides a full solution to the weaknesses of the existing network stack, Tor and I2P are the best alternatives.

Apparently someone made a compilation of him saying the word several times in different episodes. It got circulated, which prompted the apology. To be fair to Joe's critics, Joe did compare a neighborhood of black people to the Planet of the Apes movie he was going to see. Obviously that was a dumb thing to say, but Joe Rogan is not some staunch racist like the compilation tries to make him out to be. The fact that someone dug through years of his old podcast episodes to create a compilation of him using the word nigger, mostly in a neutral context, and the fact that others shared it around as evidence of him being racist, just highlights the dishonesty and vindictiveness of leftist cancel culture. diff --git a/content/entry/re-video-dont-talk-to-the-police.md b/content/entry/re-video-dont-talk-to-the-police.md index 0bfceb9..96cbbc0 100644 --- a/content/entry/re-video-dont-talk-to-the-police.md +++ b/content/entry/re-video-dont-talk-to-the-police.md @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ draft: false --- Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer and none of this is legal advice. -A couple years back I promoted a [talk](/2021/03/01/video-dont-talk-to-the-police/ "Don't Talk to the Police") given by American law professor at Regent University School of Law and former criminal defense attorney James Duane.

His advice was basically to never talk to the police, especially if you're innocent. I now find myself disagreeing with defense attorney James Duane and the reason I disagree with him is because I think he possesses some biases which color his opinion. For one, as a former defense attorney, I think he's used to helping people who are already accused of a crime. The best advice for them is just what he says: shut up and lawyer up if you can afford it. But for normal everyday situations where you're not under suspicion of a serious crime, I don't think it's always the best advice. diff --git a/content/entry/website-gethuman.md b/content/entry/website-gethuman.md index 9870431..0fd6b44 100644 --- a/content/entry/website-gethuman.md +++ b/content/entry/website-gethuman.md @@ -5,6 +5,6 @@ draft: false --- Most of you reading this have probably had the experience of dealing with large company's customer service lines.
