The stuff BlackCat stole and haven’t released yet.

I learned last week that you can set up Thunderbird with Gmail and run it almost exactly like outlook, with rules and folders and all. Cut down about 3000+ emails I’d been too lazy to delete or sort on my own to zero with a few rules and folders. 10/10, highly recommend.

Congrats!

You can try telling the CIA and/or Interpol. Locally, you can try the National Crime Agency, Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command, and Scotland Yard’s Specialist Crime Directorate.

https://mipp.police.uk/

You can also try reporting to CrimeStoppers:

https://crimestoppers-uk.org/

I strongly encourage you to use as many anonymizing methods as possible if you truly believe your safety to be in jeopardy should you be discovered.

**Edit since you probably need witness protection now:

Try asking the NCA about becoming a Protected Person if you contact them. https://nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/what-we-do/how-we-work/providing-specialist-capabilities-for-law-enforcement/protected-persons

I too liked Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and as someone else mentioned National Treasure and Transcendence.

Got my first explicit scatological DM from someone with no fewer than three actual slurs (n-word included) in their username yesterday, from the lemmy.world instance (yes, my instance), so that was “fun”. I’ve also seen the same sort of posts, from the same sorts of users, elsewhere in comment sections. Fun times.

Yes. Look at the 2008 housing crash, and tell me average investors are intelligent.

Both of those are also true. Add in one with Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, Threads…

To be fair, one of the interpretations of the apocalypse is called “Post-Tribulation Rapture”, in which the faithful must first suffer the years of torment of the rest of the world, or at least 144 thousand of them, before Jesus returns and kills so many humans that the blood fills up the Armageddon up to the shoulder of a warhorse. She might be prepping for the tribulation.

Mom went full fundamentalist evangelical biblical literalist q-anon in recent years, even tried getting my sister to divorce her husband because he voted for the wrong candidate (no guesses for who was the “right” candidate). My sister, not being stupid, did not divorce her husband. As for myself, being in the military, I try to make counterarguments against my mom, which just ends with her accusing me of being brainwashed (which I probably am, but that’s another story).

No time like the present to make it!

From a “ties of blood” perspective, to give a perspective your mom might understand:

He might be tied by blood, but he is bringing dishonor and being a burden upon the entire family and lineage. He disgracea the rest of the family and all his elders and ancestors with his failure and irresponsible spending. He should be forced to work and spend less, helped by his elders, and shamed if he refuses to do so.

Note: this isn’t something I’d recommend to anyone else, but if it helps.

It needs to have a much easier way to rapidly suggest a good instance to make an account on without trying to explain all the details of Federation to new users. Just one click and done. They can learn about Federation afterwards.

Same.

I’m doing my part!
