Happens all the time, domain squatters buy expired domains all the time, they have some policies in place to prevent that, you can’t just register a domain the day it expires.

Namecheap has a 30 day renewal grace period, where they change your domain’s dns records to point to their page to let you know your domain expired. That means everything you use the domain for stops working for 30 days. If you renew at any point in those 30 days at the normal renewal price, everything goes back to normal.

If you don’t renew during the grace period, they may sell it in an auction lot of expired domains. If they did, you’re SOL, the domain has a new owner.

I’ve experienced this when a payment card failed auto renewal and my domain suddenly stopped working. If you don’t notice for 30 days, you’re not using the domain…

That’s not “land ownership”, and ownerership of the land is not a prerequisite condition for stewardship.

You want something strictly relevant to all the messes we’re in today?

The Hundred Years' War on Palestine and The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine are must reads. Round them off with Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History

Then read Inventing Reality: The Politics of News Media and Manufacturing Consent (obligatory fuck pedo-associated and possibly pedo Chompsky).

Take a break from reality and read a quick fiction: The Trial.

If you’re not radicalized by anger at this point, you’re one of the baddies.

I don’t think I know you at all, I’m responding strictly to what you said…

Gen 1 was released in 2023 at $299. Before then, you could buy a Razer Anzu for $200, a Fauna for $299 if you wanted better “luxury” than the RayBan logo on the shitty meta glasses, or a JLab JBuds Frames for $50 if all you cared about are the things you said you cared about.

It’s okay to have been uninformed, it’s okay that you didn’t know there were other options. It’s not okay to gaslight everyone by pretending the meta glasses invented a solution for the use cases you listed…

I have Nothing headphones personally which I use with transparency mode, and it works perfectly fine for everything you said you needed your camera equipped glasses for… You wanted smart glasses, that’s alright to say, but it certainly isn’t only solution to your needs.

What other uses did you state that traditional bone conducting headphones can’t do? Or any of the many audio only fashion glasses?

You paid a premium to one of the worst corporations to have a feature you claim not to want?

How do you think Americans will react if USA drops a Nuke on Iran?

They’re okay with dropping the equivalent of dropping over 6 nukes on a concentration camp with over 50% child population, why wouldn’t they be okay with dropping a few on what they’ve been raised to believe is the big bad wolf?

Mornings in Jenin. Growing up as a child of refugees, it was difficult to fully grasp the horrors of Israeli violence against Palestinians, my parents shielded us from the worst they witnessed, only telling us of the good memories before they were forced to leave. This book helped shape who I am today, motivated me to learn the truth, and exposed me to a whole world of non colonial literature, both fiction and non. And while it is a story of fiction, it is based on the reality of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, ongoing for 78 years now.

Please oh literate one, won’t you share the works of fiction that changed YOUR immeasurably deep life?

You feel good about yourself?

I want you to know, sincerely, that you are exactly why nothing will get better.

You’re so dumb. The US resumed bombing Iran and bombed a wedding, and you’re concerned about this.

They’ve been calling Palestine “Israel” since they came out, but none of you cared. Selective outrage over a distraction by the pedophile class.

The fact that you compared “AI powered sex doll” to Linus using an LLM to generate code he reviewed and accepted (as if he’s reviewing any of the many contributions he reviews and constantly rejects for the simplest mistakes) shows that you know nothing about the different applications of “AI”.

Yes, the “AI powered” sex toy is an example of an idiotic scam, the AI powered assistant that hallucinates in a conversation isn’t very useful, but code that literally does what it should do, reviewed by a competent engineer, is no different from reviewing code from any of your coworkers. It’s code, if it’s garbage you reject it, is it isn’t then the tool was useful.

True enough, but I get just a little relief when I see how little the citizens of the empire care about the lives destroyed and the crimes committed on their dime, knowing they’re stting themselves up for the worst possible situation when it does finally collapse.

You lack reading comprehension, I would never call it lake America, that’s my point. You’re upset over nothing, big-dick-sucker1.

Excellent retort. You deserve everything that’s coming to you, literally 1984, because you focus your energy on distractions.

You’re right. This is what we should be all consumed with, this is what we should be upset about.

Not the billionaire pedophile child sex trafficking ruling class that bombs children and calls them terrorists instead of giving you healthcare, that’s trivial. What you should be upset about is the same government openly “renaming” a lake in the course of a trade war with their neighboring country.

First of all, your priorities are stupid. Second of all, no, it’s literally not the plot of 1984. He never claimed “it was always lake America”, he just used the existing legal processes to rename it. It’s stupid, it’s perfectly legal, and it doesn’t change a single fucking thing about your life.

Biden repeatedly lying about seeing beheaded children and spreading lies while having reporters dragged out of the press room for asking questions about him bypassing Congress to send billions in weapons to continue an active genocide is analogous to 1984. Trump raping and murdering kids and bombing Iranian school children while telling you you should be upset about trivial shit is analogous to 1984.

If you read 1984 instead of just repeating that everything is 1984, you’d quickly realize what the renaming of a lake is analogous to: the lottery, pornography, alcohol, razor blade shortage, etc. there are plenty of distractions by the party that are meant to consume and emotionally absorb people so they don’t discuss actual problems, so they don’t organize, so they don’t change anything.

Good luck.

Edit: flock cameras are LITERALLY 1984. But you’re right, we should be upset he changed what the US government calls a lake. I’m sure you spend countless hours of your life thinking about the names of lakes, what they used to be, or how many names they’ve had over recorded history. I’m sure every time a lake was renamed it was literally 1984 and rewriting history.

You know what was renamed to erase history? Palestine. They collected money from Americans to import European trees to literally hide over 500 destroyed villages and literally changed history books to say it was always Israel. Be upset about that, be upset that you’re still paying money for that.

Lake Ontario/lake America doesn’t affect your life one fucking bit.

I genuinely don’t understand this comment… How am I an asskisser for pointing out the pedo Nazis are trying to distract you with trivial shit like the name of a lake?

Yes, please refer to the US as pedonazi land, and Israel pedonazi haven, I fully endorse that! Call them what they are, I always do.

It doesn’t matter what the pedonazis say, no one seriously calls the gulf of Mexico by any other name… You need to redirect your anger at what matters, your taxes are used to commit genocides and enrich Nazi pedophiles, don’t waste your anger on a stupid distraction like this one.

Edit: oh, you’re just calling me a name to make me upset at calling me a name, I thought you actually had a point. Lol you can call me little fucker who licks his mom’s dirty asshole for all I care… I’m not gonna be upset at such trivial nonsense.

It isn’t…

It’s shared between the US and Canada, it could just as well be named Lake New York.

From Wikipedia:

Ontario is likely derived from the Iroquoian word Kaniatarí:io or Oniatarí:io meaning “lake of shining waters” or “beautiful lake”.

So it’s a better name for sure, at least keeping the memory of the natives colonized and cleansed by the French to make Canada… But it’s not like naming a lake in memory of people you erased erases the crimes…

This is such a stupid thing to spend any energy being upset over, just roll your eyes and call it wherever you want.

The empire is collapsing (thank fuck) and its citizens are upset about the name of a lake instead of revolting because they’re ruled by an ultra rich pedophile class.

I just puked a little.

American liberals are the problem, because they support liberal policies…

They either understand what liberalism is and does, and they are proudly evil, or they think liberalism means what liberals have been trying to convince everyone it means (equal and human rights for all), and they’re misinformed.

Still the problem.
