This email from Windscribe VPN stated that they are selling all my data, whatever I did on their VPN, back to me. I was really angry at them for what they did; I didn't expect they would do this to users. But then, when I looked further, I found out it was just a large scale April fools prank from them. I would say they got me! :)

See, this is how official they made it look!

Oops! You got me. 😂 I just maybe don’t understand things that well, but from what I’ve studied, the past decades have been wild with so many terrible things happening. Now, governments are always on the brink of not just fighting with other countries but also with their own people. War wreaks havoc on societies, and if it affects the masses, things will definitely backfire, including the economy, etc. Even in countries like China and Russia.
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality
True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.
Seneca
It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.

No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.

I have a very stupid opinion, like these countries are now too powerful and to be in power they would never be in a war at all (full scale). Why would they destroy themselves when it took decades to be here? Even if a war happened, no one would win; everyone would already be dead. There is no discharge in the war in 2025, it's all end. That's what Putin says as well, like "NATO can definitely fuck us, but I would fuck in a way that will fuck all of us." I can't imagine their war because no one will win. If it happened, they will get so frustrated that nukes would be the only option, and you know what could happen. Albert Einstein said something like, "I have no idea what weapons will be used in WW3, but I'm sure WW4 will be fought with stones and sticks."
Thanks for posting this article.This will really help me a lot when I try to orange pill anyone because the article says what everyone has come up with, and the comments here prove, Hold my beer, you're wrong.
Oh yes, I forgot about the double post. You first have to check for duplicates by posting the non paywalled link, and if no dupes are detected, you can post the archive link. Thanks
I've recently deleted all my social media accounts see #890469 messengers, basically everything. My concern was my data and privacy, which I realized very late. Now I see how much my focus has increased; it really is benefiting my studies and everything I previously liked to do. Now I'm only on Stacker News and Nostr; they're not addictive at all and instead feed my brain with some great info. I would say the harm is real and dangerous. It was you all who inspired me, and I took matters into my own hands. I realize I was really a product for them before. I don't get the urge to buy stupid things influenced by advertisements anymore, and I don't get into stupid arguments anymore because I'm not there. I'm in so much peace now. But I do miss my conversations, group chats, and everything. However, nothing matters more now. It was do or die for me, but I did it. If any parents see this comment, please keep your kids out of social media at all costs!
