Partition the internet… Like during the Morris worm of '88, where they had to pull off regional networks to prevent the machines from being reinfected?

The good old days were, maybe, not that good. :)

Yep. When you have two aircraft carriers in their airspace, you make the laws.

I wonder why this isn’t a class action. Maybe they thought they could win more this way?

I wonder what’s gonna happen if other courts find different verdicts, or different compensation values…

It’s like they could create a socialist party, so that America actually has at least one left-leaning party.

No, the mainline Democratic party is nowhere near being left wing.

He’s much better at communicating and dealing with the present day republican tactics than most in the party, but we know that, at heart, they all have corporate greed as their master.

This is astonishing.

He’s hoarding the profits of automation for himself, while socializing the lost wages and poverty that will come from this.

But the issue is that we know full well that they’ll escape paying out their massive profits as taxes, which is what MUST happen for the model to work. Shareholder payouts need to be taxed at like 50+% rate or even more.

“So Donald Trump,” he added, “since I know you’re watching — I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.”

slow claps

It’s no fluke that he got elected… that was god tier.

Boots be made for walking. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a place that’s not struggling with fascism nowadays, or free from patriarchal tendencies, but I assume you’re in the US, in which case many countries are indeed better.

KOTOR is such an amazing game… I’ve replayed it recently hoping it would ruin my childhood recollection of it being god tier. It didn’t, it’s still an amazing game after all these years

That’s mighty pedantic, my dude. I had the same thought when reading the title, that “dead after being found” does carry some implication that they were alive at the time of finding.

But according to you, thinking that the title could have been written better makes us raging assholes that need to be challenged at every turn, lest we turn this internet into some place with, god forbid, proper grammar or something…?

Such a monstrous clusterfuck, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone having been sacked, let alone facing actual charges over the whole debacle.

If anything, I’d say that’s the single best case for buying IBM - if you’re incompetent and/or corrupt, just go with them and even if shit hits the fan, you’ll be OK.

They are built to very rigorous explosive engineering standards!

Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.

Well, the explosives exploded.

I’d just like to make the point that there are a lot of these explosives factories making explosives around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that explosives aren’t safe.

Definitely, they were blown away.

That is the American approach to legislation: get in as many laws that favour you or your sponsors, and pray the courts let at least some of them through.

That’s not how this is meant to work. The courts shutting down a law is a last measure, when everything else has failed and hell’s about to break loose.

Shutting down the US government is just below singing happy birthday in Spanish on my challenge difficulty scale, y yo hablo español.

I’m not convinced those grandpas didn’t just happen to be asleep and closed the government by accident.

That’s where you’re drawing the line? The whole nation is eating itself from the inside, and the only thing the Dems are capable of seems to be pointing at something and saying “you shouldn’t do that”.

And what are they gonna do about it? Nothing? Yeah, figures.

But whose turn is it?

Vance is a puppy, maga will tear itself apart.
