  • We didn’t want to get involved in Syria, but we literally couldn’t avoid it because the US created ISIS, a group that was born in the power vacuum left in the aftermath of the Iraq war.

  • “At no cost to you… for now”

  • Meanwhile the federal government and America’s telecoms operate a data collection backdoor for China via its own wiretapping infrastructure

  • Conservatives can never say another word about gEoRgE sOrOs

  • The US Govt 5 years ago: e2e encryption is for terrorists. The govt should have backdoors.

    The US Govt now: Oh fuck, our back door got breached, everyone quick use e2e encryption asap!

  • A better idea

  • Japanese have great breakfast food, but they don’t eat it in the morning

  • Agreed. If Hunter Biden’s issues hadn’t been politically weaponized so much, I doubt Biden would have done it, but the truth is, with Trump coming in to office and threatening retaliation, it makes sense to pardon him.

  • “Whoops you hit a dead zone — missed stopping at the red light and killed the passenger, would you like to reload and try again?”

  • They specifically made search less accurate so that users would search multiple times to boost the number of ads that get displayed to juice their numbers for quarterly earnings. You can blame Prabhakar Raghavan.

  • Well, that is a political and hard thing to “prove” in court, but the no foreign-born presidents thing is pretty clear.

  • Thankfully Elon will never be a MAGA successor, and is ineligible to run for president. Let’s deport this felon immigrant back to where he came from.

  • Yes they are. Now that we have established that, what do we do next?

  • They’re actually better known as Program and Product Managers. When engineers get tired of actual work, they try to convert to these jobs.

  • I opt out aggressively, but they make it so hard. Once I even approached the agent and the camera was directly already in my face, so I hold my hand up to try to block it and say, “I don’t want this,” but apparently they had already gotten my image before I blocked the camera and the TSA agent said “well, you’re verified.” So much for opting out.

    Another time, I was going on an international flight. At the gate, the airline is scanning everyone’s face. I quickly searched the internet about it and found some Reddit post indicating it’s not mandatory at all, but sure enough they’re treating it like it is. When I get to the front, I tell the guy, “I’m not doing this.” And he says “Well, it’s the only way to get on the plane!” I continue to protest citing their privacy policy, which I had learned about moments before. He kinda scoffs and waves me over the to gate desk.

    I walk past him and to the gate lady, she checks my passport and hands me a paper boarding pass. I already had a boarding pass on my phone, but ok. Well, then I walk past the guy who was scanning faces to board the plane and he doesn’t pay any attention to me. I realize then that I could’ve skipped talking to the gate agent all together and just boarded. Wow, these biometrics are so secure! That said, everyone else in line just did as they were asked like a bunch of sheep, some even smiling for the camera while their biometrics were harvested.

  • Now do this to Tesla. Make owning a Tesla make you a pariah.

  • Yeah or focusing on “STEM” as if it’s the only thing that matters. People think that because they can solve technical problems that they can also solve society’s problems without any further education on the matters. The best example of this is Elon Musk.

  • He is swayed by loads of bad press. The best shot we have is for the press to put tons of negative attention on the most egregious elements of his administration. Unfortunately, most media is now owned by billionaires who want to make nice with Trump.
