It sounds much cooler than it is. Cmder is a portable terminal emulator that handily has ssh installed, which lets you log in to a remote shell and also for some reason has a feature that lets you map ports on the local machine to ports on the remote machine (a proxy).The Firefox extension is just a proxy switcher from the addons site. It really just boils down to one command:

ssh -D 8080 remote.host

Then you have a SOCKS proxy at localhost:8080 to point Firefox at.

I will say that I literally explained what I was doing to supervisors and coworkers and never got in trouble but I’ve worked at some pretty lax employers.

I don’t know if this is possible in your circumstances, but when I wanted to hide my traffic and get around censors I ran cmder off a usb to make a reverse ssh tunnel to a cheap VPS then used a firefox extension that dynamically routes traffic through the tunnel proxy based on url.

In all honesty though the consequences of being caught doing that are probably worse than looking at porn at work since it looks way more nefarious, and isn’t really possible to play off as an innocent mistake.

There’s been some buzz lately about a synthetic replacement for horseshoe crab blood. Once again outlasting a threat to their species while changing absolutely nothing.

Don’t worry about it. It’s pretty easy to get worked up about this stuff and I’d be lying if i said I didn’t do the same sometimes when I get started ranting about politics. I hate this shit so much.

My frustration isn’t because they’re covering him in the news. It’s confusion about why all these forces are aligning this hard against a guy who wants to give free bus rides to people in a single city they probably don’t even live in. I’m expressing exasperation at the degree to which this has been blown so wildly out of proportion.

Socialists winning seats is fantastic, every wretched politician and mainstream media outlet fixing their baleful glare at him for daring to reach for the barest crumb of power is just maddening.

I’m not sure how you’ve gotten the idea I’m disparaging him. I think it’s fucking great he won the primary, but it’s just not so significant that it warrants this severe of a reaction. It’s a nomination for a local office.

There is never a reason for a president to issue an ultimatum to a guy who hasn’t even won his race, nor for large swathes of the national democrat party to be flipping out about his supposed “antisemitism”. They’re acting like his influence is far greater than the office of mayor (which he, again, must stress, has not even won yet!) would grant him.

Yeah but it’s a socialist who hasn’t even won yet and they’re already acting like he’s both already in the office, and actively destroying New York somehow. They’re treating him like a larger threat now than he would be even if he actually wins.

This has to be the most overblown local election in history. He’s not going to topple the world order from his job as mayor, good god.

When did the mayor of NYC become so important that every dipshit politician at every level has to come out and give their worthless opinion about it?

I wish it were more difficult to go through your life while refusing to understand that cause and effect apply to politics just like everything else.

If they’re dodging taxes then why would he care about them leaving? They’re threatening him with nothing.

I think the Israeli hospital was actually struck by a malfunctioning Israeli interceptor missile that fragmented and rube goldburgishly ignited a nearby fuel depot. I will draw ms paint lines around pictures of the craters to prove this if pushed.

Liberal theory of protest.

post the normal ones i will make fun of them too.

what if he’s chickening out of doing bad things because they’re unpopular? saying TACO on the brink of a world war seems real stupid.

They just can’t resist being war criminals for like two seconds

As much respect as I have for Dr. King; the violence of his death, and the violent reaction to his death, is what prompted the government to stop fucking around and pass legislation.

The assassination and subsequent riots quickly revived the bill.[38][39][27][40] On April 5, Johnson wrote a letter to the United States House of Representatives urging passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which included the Fair Housing Act.[31] The Rules Committee, “jolted by the repeated civil disturbances virtually outside its door,” finally ended its hearings on April 8.[41] With newly urgent attention from White House legislative director Joseph Califano and Speaker of the House John McCormack, the bill—which was previously stalled that year—passed the House by a wide margin on April 10

• King Assassination Riots

I suppose that you could argue the non-violent approach was necessary to reach the critical mass of support necessary to achieve rioting on this scale, but ultimately the violence is what got the goods.

im stuggling to put into words how pathetic it is that this much effort is being put into fetishizing the american flag to a bunch of people being oppressed by the american government. its just so, so stupid

It is in your self interest to be a part of prosperous society and treated with kindness and respect. Which means the collective interest overlaps with self interest quite a bit.

They attacked a US military vessel like 50 years ago, actually killing around 30 personnel, and just got a little fine for it.

Sorry, but there’s no chance anyone’s government is gonna step in to do anything cool about this.

The fucking cop saying “this is what happens” like it’s someone else’s fault he shot someone in the head. Worthless man child.
