Not really, those examples have the same faults as hammers and bricks.

It’s so weird that this “logic” is applied to criminals using encryption/encrypted messaging platforms, but not really any other tool used by both criminals and non-criminals. Like, criminals use hammers and bricks to illegally smash windows, and yet there are no governing bodies out there trying to come up with “creative” solutions to regulate hammers and bricks, to create “backdoors” in hammers and bricks that make them ineffectual for doing crime but retain their original functions. Because that’s impossible.

Instead, maybe what we should do is improve society somewhat so that people don’t feel compelled to commit crimes. You know, the one thing that’s been demonstrated time and time again to actually work.

The problem they want to “solve” is the ability to surveil everyone, which is impossible as long as netcat and gpg exist

I don’t have a yard. Now who’s making assumptions, hmmm?

I’m sorry you’re in that situation, and I hope the therapy helps.

Without the crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus is just another guy, and Christmas would just be called Winter Solstice or Yule Festival

His business breaks down in a matter of a couple of weeks and there’s never enough to become a problem.

Your yard and shoes smell like dog shit, you’re simply nose blind to it. Please clean up after your dog shits.

I think it’s more like all those other things got them closer and closer, and this last thing was the final straw.

And before Christianity, the old testament and Judaism was the same way. It’s almost like all these religions purposely steal whatever local belief a particular culture holds at the time, and then twists it however they can to benefit those in positions of power.

It’s sad that the whole “meathead = dumb asshole” stereotype has taken hold, because in my experience, most of the meatheads I’ve encountered have been sweethearts

It’s literally the brute-force approach to Internet service

If you’re gonna be pedantic, at least have the courtesy to also be correct

“The secret to making friends is to go out and make a bunch of friends!”

Gee, why didn’t I think of that

Is this a fresh new copypasta, or are you just a really long-winded, elaborate troll?

Workshop Companion is great for beginner-friendly woodworking, and I’ve been really liking HomeRenoVision DIY for home renovation content.

That’s funny, when life sucks, I go watch one of Pat Finnerty’s What Makes This Song Stink videos, a direct (and similarly detailed) parody of Beato’s videos
