For some reason people think psychological operations are some kind of urban legend.

What exactly was the damage he did? He exposed massive unconstitutional dragnets that made the unaccountable agencies look bad. If the damage is "makes the US look bad from their illegal surveillance of citizens", then the NSA did

The long island economy is split between well paid public servants, NYC commuters, and the circular economy of driveway contractors and tile contractors in an arms race for the nicest walking surface. There are no other jobs on the island t

> It is unfathomable that a team of US military (people with families of their own no doubt), would all nod along and agree with your contention. The Vietnam and Korean wars would like to have a word. Your belief that the US military is

I disagree. It's pretty clear the complaint is the lack of responsibility or care for the dangerous science at the center of the movie. The complaint wouldn't be remotely the same if Hammond was taking the power he was playing wit

It sounds like he had already found it the old fashioned way, then the noobs sic'd the LLMs on it, found it, and he told them "hey chill, we knew about this, don't ruin it" and they ruined it. To quote Dr Ian Malcolm: &q

There were suspicious rednecks shooting out power stations a couple years ago. The FBI routinely finds mentally ill people to convince/encourage/fund a terrorist attack and arrest them after they purchase materials with FBI money

Glad I'm not the only one with this complaint. I've been playing music for 20 years, learned and forgotten plenty of music theory. The only way I actually "grok" it, is by re-deriving the whys, but then that slows my lea

A library of 10,000 songs can fit on most phones. Until Sam Altman disrupted the entire computer economy, HDDs were cheap and when you replace your desktop, the old one becomes a server.

They don't need to go after everyone. They just need to make an example of a few, ie 40 years in prison for "moving evidence". They set the example that even if you're not related to the person shooting the gun, or even

Big time. The harder the feds have to work to ruin someone's life the better. The more power granted, the heavier the collar and chain should be.

Like a lot of data collection, the meta data gets you pretty far. The who's and where's can be hoovered up with tracking data buys and essentially get you a nice list of who has access to certain areas, which can be used for targe

The real terrifying aspect of this whole story has nothing to do with Milo Vs ICE. It's the fact that these previously cartoonish figures on Twitter are now wielding some level of power. People love to say "oh just get off those b

They're suggesting[1] they'll be attempting arrests at polling locations, which due to the statistics on fraudulent votes(statistically microscopic), equates to interference and intimidation since we know ICE isn't beyond arr

This tidbit should show people how the line between "terrorist", "freedom fighter" and "useful lackey" is razor thin. You should never take the "terrorist" label at face value. The US funded the Mujah

I think this is a very different problem. I'm prescribed those "happy pills" as you call them. I forget to take them regularly, in fact I think you may have just reminded me to take mine as long as I remember by the end of th

That's a very incorrect reading of what I was trying to say. I was saying if it was more than a state department propaganda operation, we'd see a lot more coming out. The reporting is starkly different from even reports coming out

It's always curious to me how property damage weighs the same or worse than violence against real humans. I've had people tell me with a straight face that broken windows make one group just as bad as the group threatening violenc

Genocide-level infrastructure? If there were satellite photos of extensive camps, why wouldn't we be shown? We got to see one or two possible camps, but they were disassembled. People can travel in Xinjiang. I've seen the increase

What were the Zines evidence of? Protected speech? We have days worth of footage of storming the Capital and yet dozens were given full pardons. They're political charges.

Something I find really ironic is when people will declare superior and inferior types of humans, then in the same breath relate it to evo-psych or animal behaviors. Like if any of us are superior, why can't we reason past what chimps
