Point SS.68.AA.2.3 “Examine the various duties and trades performed by slaves (e.g., agricultural work, painting, carpentry, tailoring, domestic service, blacksmithing, transportation). Benchmark Clarifications: Clarification 1: Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
I don’t think this is that terrible. It’s not quite as absurd as “BLACKS BENEFITED FROM SLAVERY!” It seems worth mentioning that the skills developed during servitude may have contributed to their ability to integrate into society post-slavery. I mean, the whole paper is chock full of things that show slavery in a negative light. I don’t think there were negative intentions in this. You can count on the news to write a good headline, though.
-moved from brave to firefox Why? Brave is open source. -bought my own domain for my email so I can switch providers Great to have more control over your assets, but I don’t think this is exactly more secure. -Switched to duck duck go They sold out forever ago. Your search history is probably safe with Google and not all that lucrative to fraudsters anyway. -bought the proton package VPNs are pretty worthless for typical privacy use cases. Instead of your ISP logging your browser data, Proton does, and they’re glowies anyway. If you really want to hide your activity, just use tor! It’s not as worthless for typical stuff as it used to be, it can even do 360p video. So you’ve got no excuse to feed your porn habits to the cloud. Also, before anyone says “boohoo, you’re stressing the network with video”, literally anything but video will always be doable even if everyone tries to watch video, because noone’s gonna watch video if video isn’t watchable. Supply and demand, yo. -installed Bitwarden for password managing Isn’t that an online password manager? Keeping all your passwords in the cloud? No bueno! I use KeePassXC for local storage, database on a local network drive under a router without an internet connection. But really, you could always just write them down like our grandparents used to do. Should be fine as long as the feds don’t come knocking.
I definitely recommend one of those data eraser services that contacts all the data brokers and gives them legal notices to erase your data from their systems. It’s a shame they’re necessary, but oh well.
