  • some epstein files can be unredacted...The Trump administration is so bloody stupid they just highlighted the text in black in the pdfs, leaving all the text available underneath.

  • If anyone has any questions about this comment as well, please feel free to ask. I know what this comment means, but a few years ago I wouldn’t’ve had a clue.

  • I haven’t tried this, but this is what I’ve read:

    You can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste the text into another document (like Word, WordPad, Notepad, etc.).

    Another method I saw mentioned on Facebook:

    “The backgrounds are transparent. Pull them into photoshop and throw a layer of white between the text and the black background and you have your text.”

    If anything is unclear, please ask. Even if I can’t answer it, maybe someone else can.

  • It really depends a lot on context and situation, ideally it's someone you already have at least SOME passing acquaintance with so they give you a chance

    okay, so this won’t work with all the social media maga telling me to kill myself.

    i’ve done all those things as in person i don’t like being confrontational. yeah, it makes people adore me and say im the sweetest. never changes them though.

    a little observation. your comment history says you’re a cis man. i think that might be part of why it’s been more effective for you to change minds. what you say has more weight.

  • never said there aren’t terrible leftists. there are plenty. people in general are terrible.

    statistically speaking, right wingers are worse. this is factual. don’t gaslight me.

    i’m afraid of confrontation and i’m friendly enough that horrible people feel comfortably trauma-dumping on me, but they never feel comfortable changing.

    i tend to be a pretty validating person and they love that. but the one time i call them out on something they need to do better, their defenses go up. no one is actually interested in being a good person, they just want to be told they’re a good person.

    i’m disabled and i get assigned caregivers from a local agency. a caregiver casually told me she’s a pedophile (trump supporter too btw). people are too comfortable around me.

  • username does not check out

    i’m curious how you did it. i tried being nice, they’d just attack me.

    i struggle to want to be nice to people who want me dead. who are loud about how i am lazy and stealing their tax dollars.

    a former maga friend - someone who i was “nice” to until the one time i wasn’t, even though he was allowed to say all the shitty things he wanted - told me i was a waste of space. he verbally attacked me over my health issues knowing how sensitive a subject that is.

    i don’t see them as people tbh. if me saying that validates their opinion that i’m evil, maybe they should start acting like people instead of monsters.

    they also, as a group, tend to be more likely to be offending pedos, rapists, domestic abusers, and mass shooters. which for me reinforces the idea that they aren’t people.

  • YSK that, in the USA, when you’re asked to make a donation at check-out, the company does not get a tax break for it!

    Jump

  • i agree, the point of my post is to clarify the misconception, especially for anyone who may have donated in the past and felt guilty about it

  • yeah, this is what i was going for

    i’m not here to defend billionaires. i’m chronically ill and probably going to die young, suffering, and in poverty. if billionaires did the right thing, not only would i probably be suffering a lot less, but so would a lot of people. we’d probably have a better world.

    but here we are. :(

  • from your post history it seems you might not be in the us so i’m going to try and clarify

    soooo i have yet to file taxes (i’m disabled and have never made enough to file) but from my understanding, how taxes work in the us vs outside of the us is different

    the government doesn’t tell you what you owe or what to deduct… you tell them what you owe, what you’re deducting, and hope you didn’t mess up somewhere unless you want to be shipped off the el salvador

    so i believe neither my post nor their comment is bs, but if i’m wrong i’m happy to be corrected

  • So apparently full stops in texts are 'passive agressive' now. What other unwritten rules for texting have changed over the last couple of decades?
