Make No Mistake-They Are Winning!

So here is where we stand under the progressive liberal takeover of our beloved country. Battle Tested is dead as a door nail. The one site where there were really no limits or restrictions on free speech maybe gets 1 post a week. Other forums I belong to are more active than BT but a ghost of their old selves. A neighborhood site I belong to is owned by mark fuckerberg so anytime I post on there it's about a 80% chance the post will disappear, I will get a two week suspension, or both. My friends (yes I have friends) will no longer talk politics, firearms, or anything that isn't fuck jewmer (did I spell that correctly?)approved on the telephone. My wife unplugged google assistant and alexa after I asked her where the nitrile gloves were and later that day when on the computer I get a pop-up ad for nitrile gloves. She thinks it's too coincidental to be a coincidence. (Thanks Yogi) I think as a free country we are finished.

well, donna is correct that the glove thing is not a coincidence. ALL of your devices are always listening, including your phone. the situation with the gloves you described happens to most people several times a day. This is not secret.

Sean, you know that I am not a conspiracy theorist but the glove incident really opened my eyes. I just asked where they were, said never mind, they're in the garage and that was it. I never bought them on the net, never googled them, nothing. And then a couple of hours later they show up in an ad? I'm a believer now

I repaired computers for years at IBM. I know how easy they were to hack years ago. Today's security is much better but you still have stupid people opening emails that say "Hi, want to see something funny...click here" and bang you just infected your computer and your whole company's network. I knew better than to get Alexia or Echo. I never trusted any social media. Do you want to stop seeing ads follow you around ? Delete the "cookies" in your web browser and then use "private mode" in your browser and no more cookies will be stored. The only problem with deleting cookies is that your browser won't remember things like your location. Now you have to tell the Lowes or Home Depot website what store you shop at so you can check inventory. I always use a VPN, especially doing banking or any site that requires payment. Hell, I still use a flip phone.
Some people may call me paranoid...I call it experience.

I'm going to get a burner phone

I'm going to get a burner phone

Pay cash (tracing your cards)
Wear a mask, shades and a hat (Facial recognition, not covid)
Park your car a block away so it's not on the security camera (and hope it's not caught on a doorbell camera down the street)
Leave your home to use it (or hide in the shower to use it so Google doesn't hear you)
Welcome to the new liberal Land of the Free.

I remember seeing something years ago about a techie that only carried a dumb phone and had a landline and FAX machine at home - no computers!

So it isn't just me, then? I was beginning to wonder who I had managed to piss off to the point that my posts that were "waiting for moderator approval" just weren't showing up about half the time, which also kept me from accessing the BM-59 section which was my primary interest here, as I picked up the kit and a 308 Garand barrel but no receiver yet, and wanted to learn more about these before spending even more money on going ahead with the project.
