Good point. Still, though your numbers get to a similarly outlandish time period.

For Australia it’s around 3-4% LGBT.
Not to detract from the overall message, buuuut…
48,313 gun deaths in US in 2021.
333,000,000 people in US
On those rates 0.05 people in a room of 400 would be shot per year, so 1 person per 20 years.
It’d 1 person every 2 years in a room of 4,000.
Also those mental health numbers are off given the lifetime prevalence of most disorders being around 5%.
2/400 (0.5%) of the population identifying as trans would be 1,665,000 people - which may be plausible but idk, I generally work on the figure of ~4% of any population being LBGTQI.
Poverty numbers are probably bang on.
However, even if it doesn’t, it’s a really fucked up thing to do because it’s conning people out of money using a scam.
So just the stock market then?
32 teams in the NFL, 15-16 games a week.
There’s approx. 240 different possible outcomes each week, chances that you land on the correct one twice in a row is near impossible.
So you wouldn’t be conning anyone, unless you were picking only one game each week, in which case you have a 50% chance and therefore no one would care if you got it right twice, an octopus can do that.
Further to the above, the sports gambling industry is huge, chances that you can offer something over and above what multi-million dollar betting agencies can offer is frankly absurd unless you’re an MIT Maths grad.
It seems as though it was more a part of the Bing deal. In that MS said you can have Bing if you allow Bing and LinkedIn trackers. DDG were then able to negotiate a subsequent agreement that now blocks those trackers.
The failure to disclose the original MS tracker deal is slightly concerning but personally when I use DDG and just clear everything each session anyway and for the most part use Firefox with extensions for anything needing logins.
In my experience DDG breaks less sites than FF.
No, that’s a misconception. See news story here.
Unsure why DDG isn’t mentioned but they work well for me across devices.
It’s tricky and of course context dependent. It’d be much easier if there was no apparent motive (massive debt, impending arrest, history of fraud etc). I’ve often thought a holiday to a developing country with porous borders would be your best bet. If you are in a western nation it’s quite difficult to disappear within your own borders, and it is hard to survive without an identity. Even then, most western nations will send someone/s to investigate your disappearance or pursue the matter via Interpol etc. Add to this your appearance is likely to raise attention if you are obviously not a local (in my case I am a white AF guy with tattoos who would not melt into the background in India). Further, no matter the money you have you ultimately want some type of identity and passport in case your current situation gets hot. In my scenario I would travel to country A using my legitimate credentials, then disappear (drowning is a good one, cheers Harold). I’d then leg it to the neighbouring country (country B) where I’d attempt to get a new identity using forgeries I’d already organised from another country different to my home. Once I can establish my identity in country B (residency over months/years etc) I’d then move to my final destination and keep my head down.
There’s plenty of stories of those who try to restart and get caught (Nick Rossi, John Darwin). Common thread is they don’t completely break from their previous life, or they move somewhere too obvious. Another key point is having to deal with some real sketchy people to make all of this happen properly. You’d essentially need to be smuggled across borders and acquire forged documents.
I’d be keen to hear others back-of-napkin plans.
I’ll get downvoted into the ground, but right now, Brave with shields up + privacy badger is the only browser I can run with javascript enabled that does a half decent job at anonymizing my fingerprint, verifiable by https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/
DuckDuckGo does this out of the box.
Safari + Privacy Badger too (I use Safari as my work related browser).
But if Brave works for you then that’s cool.
Yeah I know man, just the first thing I think of when people mention sleeping on a Greyhound.
If you ever have to do this buy yourself lots of benadryl and just sleep as much as possible.
Err, nah fuck that; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLean#:~:text=On 30 July 2008%2C Tim,of Portage la Prairie%2C Manitoba.
According to witnesses, McLean was sleeping with his headphones on when the man sitting next to him suddenly produced a large knife and began stabbing him in the neck and chest. After the attack began, the bus driver pulled to the side of the road, and he and all the other passengers fled the vehicle. The driver and two other men made an attempt to rescue McLean, but were chased away by Li, who slashed at them from behind the locked bus doors. Li ultimately decapitated McLean and displayed his severed head to those standing outside the bus, then returned to McLean’s body and began severing other parts and consuming some of McLean’s flesh.
Are those Haribo gummy bears, fuck yeah, score!
You never met a passenger on a plane who needed to be euthanized for the benefit of everyone else?
School buses are a thing, and no one would disagree with that I’d think.
Media server? NAS? Use it to run your sprinkler system?
Similarly, basic 4-cylinder engines will always be easier to diagnose and repair than the highly complicated CVT engines in all the new automatic cars.
CVT is just the transmission, it has no bearing on the engine design. OEMs use the same engine with both MT and CVT.
Wikipedia is only a source of concern if the primary sources it cites are unreliable, in the linked article they refer to ABS data which is the most accurate population data for that country. No LGBT question was asked in the more recent Australian census. The ~4% of population being homosexual was a talking point during our same sex marriage plebiscite, hence why I use it.
However, in recent US census data 3.3% of the population respond as being Lesbian or Gay, with 4.4% bisexual https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/11/census-bureau-survey-explores-sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity.html. It’d be interesting to see how that percentage progresses as majority of positive respondents were in younger generations, while I doubt any will go from identifying as gay to then straight, we may see a decline in those who identify as bisexual as they age…but who knows.
Regardless, returning to the OC, the figures for trans were all around the 0.6 mark in most sources I saw, so the 2/400 in the OC is accurate.
