Yeah, now that I’ve thought about it, you’re probably right. I guess my hackles just get raised when people start talking about “jews” when you criticize Israel.

That’s an “interesting” way to frame the holocaust, I guess, but I’m struggling to understand the relevancy?

yeah they do this shit all the time and I am just so sick of it. sorry, i didn’t mean to make that seem directed at you.

The missile didn’t just land there, Israel shot it at him. Stop using passive voice to describe Israeli war crimes.

What’s the Chinese surveillance here? I searched the article and the only time it comes up is in the title and first paragraph and neither time is it elaborated on at all. I just skimmed this but it really seems to be just a lot of pearl clutching about Chinese investment in Inuit infrastructure.

Pretty sure the US was entirely aware of and in support of that strike and any statement contrary is just cowardly bullshit. Trump’s own statement denying US involvement is so transparently begging them to not bomb Qatar again that I can’t see any way to interpret it as anything but a narcissist meeting consequences and immediately shifting blame and trying to deescalate.

it’s the main way for software to verify the identity of a source. without it you let nefarious actors do something like hijack a DNS server and impersonate your servers to your users, which is a pretty big problem if you’re running a software distribution network! it is literally a breach of trust and massive security vulnerability. and it probably broke a ton of shit when software that uses the certificate found an expired one and suddenly (and correctly) refused to work.

one of them tried to corner me into agreeing to let him come pick me up and talk in person. probably because he felt it would make me more compliant if alone with him. like a child predator.

just to clarify, “lazy bums” doesn’t apply to the guy making $4000/s while wiping his ass and furiously posting on twitter?

It’s more weird to interpret ambivalence as a defense, imo.

I don’t care if someone lies about someone who already wants a white nationalist state. Nothing you can say about them would make me think any less of them than I already do, and anything that might harm them is fair game, because I promise they will never show you the same integrity you seem to think they deserve from you.

Oh no a Nazi is getting burned by potential misinformation oh god what is the world coming to.

Even Bernie Sanders acknowledged on the senate floor that in a perfect world, where AI is owned by people invested in world benefit, moderate AI use could improve many people’s lives.

I don’t think you should make a claim like this while AI is being heavily subsidized and burning VC cash to stay afloat. The truth is whatever value it may add to such a society might actually be completely negated by it’s resource costs. Is even “moderate” AI use ecologically or economically sustainable?

who finds this unpopular and has an opinion they care about? it doesn’t seem like they have any problem doing unpopular things otherwise as long as a specific group of people are pleased with it.

SBF wasn’t doing securities fraud with only crypto, if that’s what you’re thinking of. Also it was a pyramid scheme and not a pump and dump.

Normal money can get you a visit from the SEC when you do securities fraud with it. Has that ever happened with a crypto pump and dump?

This is also why people who complain about how “our tax dollars” are spent are missing the point. Their tax dollars don’t fund the government or any of its activities. Taxes are just an inflationary control measure; money is created when the government spends it.

I mean it’s also really really good at money laundering and other financial securities scams that are otherwise illegal in real currency. IDK why OP is being so dismissive of that.

As long as the gov refuses to regulate it, it’s going to be useful for crimes. On the off chance we ever get a government willing to actually do anything but war crimes and graft, regulating it would destroy a lot of its utility and value.

You can just say you did that without having to pay the money, the only thing you’d be missing is a website (that probably won’t be around much longer) confirming you did that. That’s kinda why NFTs didn’t work.

Who else would be? Was there ever any doubt about who dropped the bombs? They think that killing children is ok because you can just construct a delusion to shift the blame.

You must use clips from the military propaganda video game in your official White House war propaganda videos to… defeat Putin. Got it.
