  • Tucker was and is in the trade of packaging Russian propaganda as news

    And much of the US “journalists” are in the business of packaging US propaganda as news. There is just as much propaganda - if not more - in general US news. Since the US likes to portray itself as hosting a free press, one would assume (if one were pretty naive, admittedly) it would be glad to have reporting on the Russian government’s positions and communiqués.

    lmao this is a CIA outlet:

    The organization is chaired and run primarily by former senior United States intelligence and State Department officials. Laura Thornton, formerly of International IDEA, joined ASD as its new director in May 2021. Laura Rosenberger, chair of the American Institute in Taiwan and former senior director for China on the Biden administration’s National Security Council, previously served as a director of ASD. ASD is housed at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and its work spans across both the United States and Europe

    Even the fucking Washington Post (of all newpapers !) admits they’re not exactly a source to be trusted.





  • What’s the browser you’re using ? and also please do:

    glxinfo|egrep -i "^direct"

    You’re looking for a line that says “direct rendering”; specifically whether or not it says “yes”. This will help pinpoint if you’re actually using your GPU or some onboard chipset instead.

    With that being said, even assuming you use the latter, stuttering video playback in the browser is weird; if using firefox, out of curiosity: try to disable or enable hardware rendering (options > advanced > general), and try again. Switch it back to what it was when your test is done.

    but instead of all of reality melting digitally disintegrating dripping all around you it’s much more like the classic description of a near death experience/OBE.

    That description doesn’t match my DMT experiences at all; at threshold doses I’m always somewhere else completely, the world doesn’t disintegrate around me, I go somewhere else entirely with no relation to my previous environment and I go there in seconds at most, it’s almost instantaneous. And what’s on the other side is indeed sometimes close to the classic description of NDEs.

    I really wanted to avoid a debate (doubly so in a thread where some dude just wanted some help), which is why I’m trying not to engage the various answers I got; though just one thing since I apparently can’t help myself: Qubes, which you cite, is indeed an example of such improved security done correctly, through an hypervisor and a solid implementation; not cgroups, some duct-tape and the same kernel, and thinking your security has improved. Thanks again, at any rate.
