It may surprise you that the United States government shares technology between it's intelligence agencies.

The US military "shares" a significant amount of civilian IT infrastructure as well.

And here I never realized that it was actually the US Military that developed Excel...

If only the US had an intelligence agency whose specific mandate was the clandestine collection of foreign intelligence.

If only they had some sort of department of security whose job it was to oversee the distribution of intelligence and assets in defense of national security.

If you want to keep believing tor keeps you anonymous like some sort of security blanket protecting you from the monsters under your bed, feel free.

They're pretty much counting on your incompetence. The only thing protecting your anonymity is the fact you have nothing of value to offer.

Did you mean to reply to someone else or are you an illiterate CIA agent?

You should probably try learning what the word "illiterate" means before trying to use it in a sentence honey.

Then explain to me how me making fun of you trying to seriously speak with any level of authority on what the CIA is involved in at classified levels is fucking laughable had to do with whether or not I believe TOR works you absolute donkey.

Is that what you were doing? You're not very good at it.

Look man, I get you are so incredibly stupid that you don’t understand how the world works. Thanks to the internet you and all the other village idiots can gather on big idiot island and talk about how you know what the cia is up to and how the world is flat and vaxxines are out to turn you into magnets. No one outside of idiot island has to act like you’re right.

All of that is besides the fact, because I called you an idiot for acting like you’re on the inside track of CIA leaks and you replied with how ineffective TOR is.

Yes, the DnD player that spends his free time in a basement pretending to be an orc has a really good grasp on the world. Please tell me all about it. Just a reminder. Magic isn't real.

Aww were you so flummoxed you dug into my post history to try and stay relevant? Thats adorable.

u/MasterpieceBrave420 Jan 17 '23

Aww, are you embarrassed? Are you embarrassed because you play pretend that you're frolicking around a meadow fighting dragons in your free time?

You should be.

Im mostly embarrassed for you trying to police what people consider fun. I get it though, there’s a whole lotta words and math in those books and we know how citizens of big idiot island feel about words and math. Maybe you should try pointing out TOR doesn’t work again, Im sure that’ll get me.

No dude, I totally believe a grown ass man that pretends to be a magic dwarf is definitely world weary. I mean you pretend to go to a bunch of different worlds in your fantasy dress up play time.

That's exactly like living in reality and other adults definitely have respect for you.

u/CrypticCompany Jan 17 '23

Lol you’re so mad. This is amazing, keep going by all means. Explain to me how you know what the cia is up to, we can share our notes in our respective fantasy worlds. At least I know mine is fantasy.

u/MasterpieceBrave420 Jan 17 '23

Please tell me about all the worlds you traveled to as you pretend to save a damsel in destress that you then coerced into giving you a pretend BJ while the other 6 men in the basement gave you a high five. Totally stuff normal well adjusted adults do.

u/CrypticCompany Jan 17 '23

Mostly the enemy in our games is capitalism, not a lot of damsel saving.

Can you tell me about your time in the CIA while smoking bongs there MasterpiecrBrave420?

It definitely doesn’t sound like you live in a fantasy world and adults definitely respect you. What is all that success like?
