  1. Pure VPN says, in writing, that they do not log.

    What VPN would you suggest, and how do you know they actually do what they say they do ... in writing?

  2. If you want to be entirely anonymous then you will need to set up proxies using multiple hacked IoT devices in nations that will not cooperate.

    So say you.

    Where do you publish your guarantee, and how do we know you're not outright lying like Pure VPN is?

    That's all a VPN does for you , which is irrelevant to what Pure VPN says it does for others.

    PureVPN operates a self-managed VPN network that currently stands at 750+ Servers in 141 Countries. But is this enough to ensure complete security? That's why PureVPN has launched advanced features to add proactive, preventive and complete security. There are no third-parties involved and NO logs of your activities .

    Emphasis mine.

  4. ... you'll be anonymous, they said.

    This.

    And it's even worse on social media like Facebook.

    There, people share unoriginal memes with no accompanying insight.

    It takes negligible effort to Share and I give that shit the same amount of careful consideration.

    Rarely, people actually compose original thought and I appreciate the effort even if I don't agree with the content.

    I don't think you have any investment in Amazon.

    This expansion strategy is a logical conclusion of the of their trajectory, to date.

    That would have been your motivation to dive in then, and it would motivate you to be celebrating now.

    Rolling stock is one of the missing pieces to a total monopoly for Amazon.

    Accurate to a degree.

    The NRA is not the bad guy here. They are the punching bag of the gun industry.

    Those who want to affect change regarding guns are going to have to avoid the NRA altogether and go directly after the gun manufacturers.

    Personally, I don't think there's anything that can or will be done.

    I've looked at the ideas put forth and not one of them would have prevented any of the mass shootings in the last few years.

    While this shooting is high-profile, larger problems are suicide and accidental discharge.

    Regarding homicide, the perpetrator is most likely a family member, a friend, or an acquaintance, and of the same ethnic background.

    Death by mass shooting is negligible by comparison.

    Again, I don't think there's any reasonable strategy to address something like this.
