The "Smith-Mundt Act" was a 1948 law that made it illegal for U.S. government agencies like the State Department and Voice of America to broadcast government-made news or information to people inside the U.S.—the content was meant for foreign audiences only.

In 2013, under President Obama, Congress changed (or "modernized") the law so that Americans could legally access this content if they wanted, mostly to catch up with the digital age and allow for more transparency, but it did *not* order government propaganda toward U.S. citizens.

You know what I hate, My fucking mental condition know as ADHD, the state of affairs already makes me depressed as shit and my mind won’t shut the fuck up, and I can’t explain this shit to my parents as they’d never fucking get it, and due to my aunt having a bad reaction to the meda for this stupid fucking condition my dysgenic ass has mom’s fucking scared of the effective meds so I’m stuck trying some lighter option that from the sounds won’t help nearly as much, fuck me.

#S African communists #killing the white farmer #they deserve to starve
Kill The Boer Some More (aka kill the "white" farmers) and starve....
The blood-thirsty anti-white anthem “Kill the Boer” has been back atop the charts in South Africa, where it is defended by the dying country’s president, media darling Cyril Ramaphosa. Worldwide attention has not caused Julius Malema to refrain from singing it at the 12th birthday celebration of his Economic Freedom Fighters party: the song is consistent with everything that has happened to South Africa since power was turned over to the likes of the Mandelas. Former President Jacob Zuma often sang it at ANC events.

I just realized that in less than two months, it will be Undertale's 10th anniversary, so allow me to remind you that Toby Fox is a talentless fucking hack that does not deserve a fraction of the fame and fortune he received from his meme game.

Seriously, name one other person who went viral on their first try (Undertale was his first video game outside of ROM hacks) while using a program that many of us messed with back in elementary school or middle school.

Not only that but he got to Japan, take over Sakurai's Famistu column, and have his sequel be featured in the Nintendo Switch 2's trailer. I find this all ironic because Toby Fox was previously a ROM hacker, which is usually a big no-no in Nintendo's eyes, but they let this all slide.

And what is special about Undertale, really? The pacifist mechanics? Many JRPGs had pacifist mechanics since the original Phantasy Star. The quirky and memorable characters? I can name a thousand games with just as many "quirky and memorable" characters if not more.

No, the only reason why it ever got popular was because of his friends on the Starmen forums along with Earthbound's popularity becoming mainstream thanks to it being released on the Wii U VC around the same time. If it weren't for that, I highly doubt it would have ever gotten insanely popular.

In case you missed it, US Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday announced the Justice Department filed a misconduct complaint against Judge James Boasberg for making ‘improper public comments’ and admitting bias against the Trump Administration.

In theory I can run a sub 7 minute mile. I say "in theory" since it was done on a treadmill, which is not the same thing as regular running.

I doubt I will get to the point of being at my peak for distance running, but I at least am happy to be capable of improving my running back to a level I am happy with. And since my main exercise focus is lifting heavy, there is no way I am training optimally for distance running. But I am just fine with that.

in reply to houseoftolstoy

If you are running at 7 minutes per mile you would need to use the elliptical at about 857 or 858 Calories per hour to be equivelent if one mile is one hundred Calories

I doubt you pushed it that hard

Most people jist use it at a walking rate of 300 or 400 Calories per hour or less then say it does not work

Sources talking to AND Magazine say clearly that inside CIA, significant numbers of powerful, senior officers are still taking direction from Brennan and doing all they can to ensure that no true lasting reform takes hold. This is not the view of a few isolated individuals. This is the near-universal opinion of those with access to what is happening inside the Agency right now.

The UK’s Online Safety Act has backfired spectacularly, forcing age verification for even mundane online content, driving users to VPNs, and forcing smaller sites to shut down.

Meanwhile, the EU’s Digital Services Act is deploying similar age-checking tools, further censoring dissent under the guise of safety. Both laws exemplify how governments exploit child protection to surveil and control the internet, eroding free speech under the pretense of regulation.

Corporate Governance in Singapore: A Practical Guide for Directors and Shareholders


For directors, shareholders, or those managing a company, governance is about clear decision-making, accountability, and proper documentation.

Corporate governance is the framework that ensures a business remains resilient and trustworthy. In Singapore, it's a critical requirement, underpinned by strict regulations and high standards. But it doesn't have to be daunting. For directors, shareholders, or those managing a company, governance is about clear decision-making, accountability, and proper documentation.

Here's a straightforward guide to the essentials.

Governance: Structure for Accountability


Good governance is more than just meeting legal requirements—it's about establishing a system where decisions are made transparently and responsibly. In Singapore, the Companies Act outlines the minimum obligations, but private companies need more than basic filings. They require clear roles, regular oversight, and meticulous records to stay on track.

Corporate secretarial services are crucial here. Beyond filing annual returns, they manage vital tasks like documenting resolutions, maintaining minutes, and tracking share movements, ensuring your company's legal foundation is secure.

Directors: Embrace Your Role


Being a director in Singapore carries significant legal responsibilities. You're required to act in the company's best interest, stay informed, and make decisions with care. Failing to understand your duties or signing documents without review can expose you to personal liability for compliance issues or disputes.

Corporate secretarial services help reduce these risks. They ensure board meetings are properly organized, decisions are recorded, and legal obligations are met, allowing directors to focus on strategy while staying compliant.

Shareholders: Protect Your Rights


Shareholders, whether active or passive, rely on governance to safeguard their interests. Transparency in ownership, access to accurate information, and clear processes for major decisions—like share issuance or company sales—are essential, especially in family businesses or startups.

Secretarial services support this by maintaining the share registry, tracking ownership changes, and ensuring resolutions are properly documented. These records provide clarity and fairness, critical for resolving disputes or facilitating transactions.

Documenting Decisions Is Essential


A good decision isn't enough—you need to prove how it was made. Detailed board minutes and records show who was involved, what was discussed, and what risks were considered. This protects your company during audits, legal challenges, or investor reviews.

Corporate secretarial services handle these details, from preparing meeting notices to filing resolutions accurately. This ensures your records are organized and ready, preventing issues during compliance checks or due diligence.

Transparency Builds Trust


Singapore's business environment is built on trust, which stems from transparency. Internally, this means ensuring directors and shareholders have the information they need. Externally, it means maintaining accurate filings and clear records to satisfy regulators and stakeholders.

Secretarial services make this process seamless, tracking deadlines and ensuring filings are correct. They don't make decisions for you, but they ensure those decisions are transparent and accountable.

Governance That Fits Your Business


Governance should align with your company's size and structure. A small startup doesn't need the same processes as a large corporation, but every business needs accountability. Tailor principles like clarity, fairness, and responsibility to your needs. Keep records clear, seek advice when uncertain, and document key decisions carefully.

Final Word


In Singapore, corporate governance is the cornerstone of a trusted business. It's not just about compliance—it's about building a company that lasts. With corporate secretarial services, you can meet legal requirements, protect your stakeholders, and focus on growth with confidence.

Fuck it, lunarian racism post.
if they get to be so high and mighty, acting all superior, then I get to be racist towards them too. What do they even have? Purity? What a farce, that purity is little more than stagnation. No wonder the American flag being planted on the moon scared them so much, it meant they had to actually think about change again for once.
A lack of death means so little if all you know is a sorry excuse for a life endlessly tormented by fears of invasion and being subject to a mess of a hierarchy. At least celestials still partake in feasts.

Clownpiece was right, not only is the moon's surface lifeless, even hell is better than the stuck up lunarian world. At least the suffering and torment serves a purpose.

How bad is my partitioning?


I just got a new laptop and installed Linux on it. I mainly run OpenSUSE.

Getting full encryption on both was a bit of a challenge and I had no idea what I'm doing. Will having the swap partition in the middle break things? Did I really need so many partitions (Mint and OpenSUSE don't show up in eachother's boot menu)?

I'm probably not gonna change this layout (because reinstallation seems like a pain) unless the swap partition's position is a problem. I'm just curious how many mistakes I made.

EDIT: I'm not upgrading my drive capacity. I do not need it.

in reply to Tenderizer78

Is there any reason? You're effectively wasting half the drive by using that space for OSes you almost never use.

If you ever happen to need Windows, which I don't see happening as you yourself can't imagine an actual use case, you can just go to the library or borrow a friend's computer or maybe use your phone.

As for Mint, do you just have it to experiment with? If you're just trying to try out other distros, a virtual machine or even live USBs are much easier ways to quickly try out new systems without having to clear actual partitions.

If you had much more storage then sure, waste some of it, but you're really gonna be missing that 120gb if you use your computer for... basically anything.

The order of the partitions basically doesn't matter at this point -- I think having a boot partition first used to be important for MBR schemes but I'm pretty sure in the UEFI era you can have them in whatever order. As others have mentioned, you could combine your EFI partitions, but doing so to an already installed system is slightly complex. You also could shrink some of your EFI and boot partitions, I'm not sure of the recommended sizes off the top of my head but I think they could be smaller. On the other hand, your swap partition should probably be bigger -- making it the same size as your RAM is a good rule of thumb and will enable hibernation (I think).

in reply to Tenderizer78

If you don't plan to expand the swap partition, I would recommend just deleting the swap partition -- you could either make it a new ext4 and use LVM to combine it with the shared storage, or if you're going to combine your EFI partitions you could grow your Mint partition to include both the SUSE EFI and the swap partition -- and using a swap file instead, as another commenter mentioned. You honestly really don't need swap space regardless with 16gb of RAM if you're really just using this to run a web browser, but you can easily set up a swap file if you want one.
in reply to verdigris

Some of the responses I got were about how the swap partition is useless, and someone else replied to them that they were wrong. I haven't responded to these people because I don't yet understand who's right. I'll use a swap file or just no swap altogether once I check for myself if the anti-swap people are nutters. I assume temporary files aren't saved to swap but instead to temp so I can't imagine what it's used for on an SSD.

I found yet another thing I'd need to manually install with OpenSUSE Leap (and at that point I may aswell use Arch with all it's documentation glory). I didn't have any of these issues with Ubuntu-based distros so I'm doing a fresh install with Kubuntu.

I'm gonna LVM it with two distros and a shared data partition.

in reply to Tenderizer78

Scared

On a more serious note, as others have said, you'll probably burn through these weird storage limitations quickly.

Also, what do you mean by "sensitive matters" on Mint? Because almost any way you spin it, I feel like it's not a great idea:
- If you're talking professional, confidential work with clients, keeping it on the same device where you do anything personal sounds like a terrible idea, and it's probably worth it to shell out for a dedicated device just for this.
- If it's more personal things like government documents, medical records, and other things I'll neglect to name here, running a separate operating system just for those just feels like unnecessary paranoia and will cause you unnecessary trouble. If you're careful, it shouldn't be a problem - the major browsers prevent file access through protections against cross-site scripting.

Also, as I said in another comment here, please upgrade that drive before you put a lot of data on it. If you don't and you run out of storage later (a near-certainty on 256GB), you'll have to go through the effort of getting everything copied, which may include equipment purchases and several hours of your time when you could jut do it right now while your important files are still small enough to fit on a flash drive right now. Save yourself the future trouble.

Anyhow, I wish you happy Linux usage.
