the US Department of Homeland Security is rapidly increasing its use of AI-based surveillance, including facial recognition and the monitoring of social media accounts, to keep tabs on immigrants, dissidents, journalists, legal observers and protesters

This is such total bullshit. You don’t have to be ANY of these types of people to be in the tracked and monitored. These systems are built for cruelty. Being cruel to the most innocent among generates is the most powerful source of emotional pain.

AI is an automated narcissism machine built and managed by narcissists of the highest order. Anti social disorder, narcissistic personality disorder and sometimes borderline personality disorder types depending on the severity. Cluster B personality disorders. All of these share traits with narcissistic personality disorder, while the narcissist may not be violent whereas anti socials (psychopaths) tend to be violent. They’re all proficent in weaponzing language (word trickery).

IMHO The mythical vampire is a metaphor for the narcissist. Instead of blood, narcissists thrive on the emotions of their victims, mainly negative emotions. This is their lifeblood, it is their supply.

Social media is the playground of the narcissist. – Moira, Schitts Creek

Based on what I’ve read from self proclaimed narcissists online, they don’t have to be near the victim to feed on the victim’s emotions. Using words to inflict emotional pain is how they operate. Gas lighting, double speak, double think, selective memory, mixing truth with lies, compulsive lying, deflecting, and overall mirroring their truselves onto their victim. Apparently, whenever the narcissist inflicts suffering with their words, they experience pleasure. I’ve read it’s sometimes a physical pleasure but generally mental pleasure.

To end this, you’d be hard pressed to find an online source for narcissistic abuse assistance. I’ve only ever discovered that someone who is a narcissistic abuse recovery “therapist” or “advocate” is a narcissist themselves. This is how they operate, in the shadows, in plain sight, always presenting themselves as a savior. Wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Anyone remember the mysterious Longhorn Windows back then?

Win2000 was my favorite. I ran multiple beta ISOs up until it’s official release. Thanks to Microsoft Partners uploading them to newsgroups.

Onedrive is a fuckin’ pain in the ass! Sends your files to Microslop and the files on your pc become shortcuts.

I went back to Windows10. Much easier to create a local account upon install. With Win11 they make you jump through hoops.

I’m betting these things are put pretty tough to breakdown / dismantle.
