  1. It's just fucking insane that apparently our options are either "suspend habeas corpus" or "let trump repeatedly abuse the justice system with unchecked lies". What the fucking fuck? It's like y'all have this weird blind spot that makes you think trump is always acting in good faith when he NEVER fucking has
  2. IMO, you're gonna run into lots of folks using it for region shifting their Internet traffic. Getting around regional locks and blocks, that sort of thing. If you offer it as a perk you're gonna want to put some quotas on it just to protect yourself from the bandwidth cost running out of control
  3. I get grabbing it for the personal media collection, but this is something that you'll be happier to rip and have your own copy of with full richness HDR and all the 4k goodness (once it's available). Plus you gotta support this kinda stuff if you wanna see more of it
  4. Just got my letter in the mail, mine went down too for HCAD
  5. GRUhorn has had an active handle on surly in perpetuity since his initial ban. He frequently builds up post count and rep on the 6th St Journal board, and then starts to branch out to the other boards and eventually gets ID'd and popped. Rinse and repeat
  6. Well yeah but that was just the standard uniform
  7. It's not chatGPT, but is another great example of the "AI' really being offshore humans via a very elaborate Mechanical Turk https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/amazons-ai-based-just-walk-out-checkout-tech-was-powered-by-1000-indian-workers-manually-11712196827721.html
  8. This is an artifact and echo of the American business system writ large. Don't worry about long term consequences, short term is all you can see so it's all that exists. That's a major constitutional amendment my dude. Congress has the power of the purse. The real problem is that Congress's actions no longer align with the wishes of the people, but rather the wishes of their donors and so people's wishes and consent don't really have much impact on spending anymore
  9. That line ain't gonna go up on it's own, dawg. There's quite a few business interests intertwined with Chinese money from the mid/late twenty-teens. Who do you think makes basically all of the consumer electronics that we all enjoy?
  10. The delays after indictment wouldn't be a problem if this were not a race against the clock. We know what they are willing to do to take power. Why the fuck are we leaving the door open for them to fuck around again? Why do we all have to find out, AGAIN?? JFC it's like Neville goddamn Chamberlain is in charge of shit, just hoping if we give the fascists enough space and time they'll just move on.
  11. Ah my bad with over-inferring, thanks for catching that.
  12. Well the first step is admitting that your judiciary has been co-opted, at least in part, by the fascists who want to end democracy. Once we have internalized that, we can start to actually consider remedies to this cancer. Problem is, cancers will always grow back unless you completely excise or kill every last bit of it.
  13. These fucking cowards had more cops to go after one dude than Crockett had defenders at the Alamo to fight the Mexican army.
  14. The US justice system seems to have an asymptotic relationship with trump. It's always ever closing in, but never actually intercepting him.
  15. Wasn't that in the story in the OP text?
  16. His church was loving, but they did not love him. Fuckers wouldn't even lay his body to rest. That's ghoulish culture warring.
  17. Live view of the justice system stopping trump
  18. I swear to God, this is like that steam roller scene in Austin Powers. It's been happening in slow motion and nobody has lifted a finger to stop the inevitable and completely foreseeable terrible outcome
  19. We can file this one under: no fuckin shit, sherlock. https://www.newsweek.com/republican-infected-russian-propaganda-michael-mccaul-ukraine-aid-package-1886742 "I think Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it's infected a good chunk of my party's base," House Foreign Affairs Committee chair and Texas Republican, Michael McCaul, told Puck News.
  20. Well it's a good thing that Aileen hasn't done anything questionable in her handling of this case then
  21. Reuters reporting on that interview too https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/chef-jose-andres-says-israel-targeted-his-aid-workers-systematically-car-by-car-2024-04-03/ "This was not just a bad luck situation where ‘oops’ we dropped the bomb in the wrong place," Andres said. "This was over a 1.5, 1.8 kilometers, with a very defined humanitarian convoy that had signs in the top, in the roof, a very colorful logo that we are obviously very proud of," he said. It's “very clear who we are and what we do.” ... "They were targeting us in a deconflicting zone, in an area controlled by IDF. They knowing that it was our teams moving on that road ... with three cars," he said.
