I have no doubt that many people died in German concentration camps making very similar claims about how to reinvigorate the opposition to the Nazis and what would happen after the next election. Hopefully your pontificating turns out differently than theirs did.

Did you? I can’t tell wtf is happening

Text meme because I’m lazy

Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power

Pic of me laying on the couch with my laptop

idk but the fact that people do that is sad as fuck

It’s funny as a quip in a Rick and Morty episode, not coming from the CEO of a large corporation specializing in surveillance technology.

I don’t, but thanks anyway

I’m not saying there’s nothing we should do to limit Presidential powers, just that the best thing we can so is not put the worst people in that office. Rules can only do so much. All of them have some kind of loophole. At some point you have to blame the voters for putting people who would abuse those powers in the position to do so.

Pardons aren’t the problem. They exist to provide an avenue for reprieve in cases where the law was applied in an unjust or unintended manner, which is not uncommon. The issue is that we let a corrupt, narcissistic piece of shit become President. Obviously he’s going to do terrible things with all the power available to him. It doesn’t mean the powers of the office are inherently bad, it means he is.

I didn’t do anything different in my response to you than you did to me but OK

I don’t disagree with anything you said, except your classification of those actions as rational. I think framing the world and responding to it the way you described is completely irrational.

Rich people don’t give poor people stuff, even if it means they get more stuff too. They aren’t rational actors. They have what should be already, and will one day be, classified as a mental illness.

I found myself in Italy
They said we could have condoms free
All partnered up by two or three
Everyone partook with glee
But now none are left for me

So hearken friends
My luck portends
This story ends
For me unfortunately

I skied directly into a tree
Then rolled the dice in the dormitory
It now burns badly when I pee
I hope my mom is proud of me
I only brought home an STD

I’m a man and I’m not laughing.

You don’t have to say it, I was already leaving.

There are people here and other places on the internet who can make a difference in enterprise contracts as well. I am part of an AI pilot program to roll out ChatGPT at my company right now. You can be sure that I am actively pointing out that, among other things, OpenAI is being sued by several entities for stealing data when their primary promise to us is “we won’t use your data”. That feedback matters and some of us learn about that stuff from places like this.

I know, the article says specifically “sampled his DNA”. That is not biometrics unless this author has no idea what those words mean.

I understand the context but I like to imagine Bondi thought she was looking at that lady’s internet search history and not her search of the Epstein files. It’s funny to picture Bondi sitting there waiting for her to say something about pedophiles so she could respond “oh yeah, if you’re so concerned about pedophiles why were you Googling this:”

Then reading the first item in that list which seems to say

“New Brazilian just arrived. Sexy and cute. 13 yo”

I can’t say that’s surprising but I have only heard of smart TVs having been confirmed to do that

Sampled his DNA? WTF is that for? Nobody has a DNA lock on their phone.

Same.

Pam Bondi should die in a fire.

Maybe that will help?

Theoretically they wouldn’t have internet access if a previous occupant set them up unless one of your neighbors has an unsecured AP. Or maybe I’m misunderstanding you and you’re saying you set them up on your wireless network after you moved in. Still a good move to get rid of them but I wouldn’t be as concerned about them if the only AP they were set up to use was no longer present.
