VPN for credit cards

vendredi 29 décembre 2017 à 01:00

Privacy.com offers the service of a VPN for credit cards.

Aside from the question of whether you can trust privacy.com with your data, I wonder also about what happens if you need to cancel a payment.

Rather than use workarounds like these, I'd rather go to a store, offer cash, refuse to give my name or zipcode, and see if they are willing to refuse to sell me something.

Roy Moore will go to any lengths of absurdity to prevent Doug Jones from being seated in the senate.

This accusation is absurd because of the facts. I won't claim that Democrats are so moral that they couldn't conceivably try to rig an election. But the ones that are in the habit of doing so are Republicans. Alabama's government is dominated by Republicans. Democrats would not be able to rig an election there if they tried.

Japan has declared approaching a whaling ship to be "terrorism".

The UK and US have declared releasing animals from a farm to be "terrorism".

Lying laws such as these are a form of tyranny. The dishonesty also undermines efforts against real terrorism.

The axolotl appears to be extinct in the wild, apparently due to pollution from humans that have invaded its habitat.
