Neither did Frodo Baggins, but he wouldn’t want to be associated with America either.

Yeah I was gonna say, this seems like a bright spot in the otherwise fairly soul-crushing lore.

Start putting people in prison until they get the hint.

Yeesh, you should take this bullshit tirade anywhere else. It’s not welcome on Lemmy.

Because tasty food, apparently

Oh no the oven is too hot, guess we better turn up the heat more!

Obviously because they’re equipped for espionage. Why else would they warn US companies to not buy the chips?

The only mathematically correct way to do that is to have cryptographic metadata signing a photo from a hardware device like a camera declaring that it’s real, not metadata declaring content to be generated.

In practice though, I don’t think it’s feasible.

Because the constitutional methods for fixing a rogue presidency lie with the legislature. The legislature is complicit.

Unfortunately the Constitution is toothless when bad actors control anything more than like 40% of the government.

This is what “taking the LORD’s name in vain” actually looks like - using God as your excuse to do heinous shit.

Maybe we should presume someone is innocent until proven guilty?

There’s too many Democrats for that. It will probably be a different, more scalable type of oppression. My guess is better analytics for voter suppression and gerrymandering.

It’s been increasing for many decades. The reason Trump is still in office is because the legislature has such a high percentage of crazies in it.

Ah yes “tensions” not “oppression”

As with all games, don’t buy it for what it could be, only buy it if it’s good value right now.

And what do you do if it turns out they were innocent? Whoops!

Oh for sure, I’m just saying that human psychology is strongly biased by recency.

If they fixed their damn payment processor I’d buy it. I’ve tried several methods and they all fail.

One of the primary failures, in my opinion, of the American justice system is that it takes an eternity to do ANYTHING. And because it takes a long time it also is expensive.

If every decision could be reached in a week we’d see an enormous drop in bad behavior, because humans are conditioned to respond to short term stimuli more than long term ones. Effectively any punishment that comes years after the action isn’t a disincentive in the human psyche.

If you work with our enemies, we’ll punch ourselves right in the face! That’ll teach you!
