I know it has been said on here repeatedly, but I've already seen the differences in person. Get a vets org to help you do the paperwork. You will not be able to do it better than them. I went with DAV in the San Antonio area and the dude helped find things that I: 1) forgot about, 2) didn't think needed to be listed (ex. allergies).

I'd rather the federal gov't have this power, that is buffeted by elections and the judicial branch, than unanswerable corporations whose only motivation is profit.

This is perfect.

I've watched some truly awful shit online without incident, but this one makes me gag.

I did it before I started terminal, which was about 90 days for me. They didn't give me my actual rating until ~11 days after my last day, and I didn't get paid until a full period (30 days) had passed. So I got my rating in Aug, and didn't get first check until Oct. I believe there's some system handoff that ensures you don't get paid ahead of time because when I'd login to check status it would be waiting, and other status said basically "still AD."

I would also add there is an intelligence reason to not taking those down so fast sometimes. I cannot go into further detail. But they do take down a lot of stuff, just because you don't see it doesn't mean its happening. I've posted on here some about the "hunters" that go after bot/ISIS/disinformation accounts. Watching their work is pretty amazing.

And...they didn't when Trump was in office?

Twitter's reasoning if you want it - https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension.html And a great video from Parlor about some supporters, and why it's important to not have insane leaders who suggest crazy things - https://twitter.com/parlertakes/status/1347680738586447872?s=20

Flynn and Sid Powell as well. Imagine Linn is up soon as well. Apple also I told Parler to start getting rid of the calls to violence or they're out the app store.

Thanks. I went with a whirleypop (https://www.whirleypopshop.com/) and have been pretty happy with it. Orivelle is the same oil I roll with most of the time. Planning out a popping area now where I'm going to upgrade to something a little more grand.

First, thank you for your service. What is your normal oil, the orville?

So I get not wanting a black list for censorship or otherwise harm to an individual. But I also want a list of who supported challenging votes so I can give money/support to whomever they primary against (if upholding the election) or in the end run against.

So...new thread on the 20th?

Don't you remember all those other times the capital building has been invaded when the losing President/party called for a it?! Yeah, me neither.

Never was a leader, cared about this wonderful country or its people.

Sure seems like they dropped off here, must be busy building a cabin and searching Parlor for more evidence.

Ah, I misunderstood you. My bad. Only similar scenario I can think of is West Germany, kind of Russia. I've got no idea what happened to the hardline commies...

Well, I get to participate in my first protest. So I got that going for me.

I was thinking more drug cartels like they did in Mexico, but I wouldn't put money on it either way. Although...I don't think they'd do criminal courts for them if DPRK fell. Or did you mean something else and I can't read good.

I think on this often, since it has shadowed my whole adult life. Do you think if we hadn't done Iraq so soon after, we'd still be in the same quicksand? I don't think we would. I don't know if that parallel universe is better...but I'd sure like to see it.

Another update - https://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-cyber-microsoft-idUSKBN2951M9 SolarWinds hackers accessed Microsoft source code, the company says

Very rare to see those around.

Sorry all been taking a break w/ family this holiday season. Correct, there's federal guidelines about what passwords should be for government systems. Of course, commercial providers don't have to follow those. Never should it have been that easy. Everyone uses solarwinds, it's a product that does pretty well for what it is and I don't think it was that expensive either. The hackers could probably get wherever they wanted with these hacks. @Negatoryis correct in his estimation as well, though SIPR is generally well protected with the gaps, this was a Russian hack and they're no slouches. Million-dollar-question - what can be done. Domain wise, identifying the TTPs and indicators of compromise and finding and eradicating them. This is an expensive undertaking because of the avenues for persistence in a network with technology (SolarWinds) that's so deeply embedded. While it shows the US getting hacked...this is a problem for the entire world because of how far SolarWinds is used. This is worse than the OPM hack in my humble/not important opinion. Political-wise, a whole lot but it appears that the Pres has decided to do nothing/confuse everyone about it. I'll leave it at that for the politics thread. There needs to be something done about it, but we're waiting until the new Prez comes in I guess. I'd also add there could be stuff happening at higher classifications, but I have no access to that anymore and wouldn't put it here anyway. Sorry, misunderstood the question. A cyber red team is a team of hackers that you invite to hack you to prove your defenses and response capabilities. They're like red/adversary air in Red Flag, but with 1/0's. They generally are bound to certain activities in certain areas to make sure there's no extreme impact to operations. Unfortunately, this is usually mucked up by leaders to "not impact the exercise" so we never really lost email/phones/comms...which is among the first thing I'd degrade/disrupt/corrupt.
