It’s not necessarily defeatist mentality. Personally I think that it is folly to expect a broken system to save people from that same broken system. It is my belief that actions like this lull citizenry into a false sense of comfort and assurance that something is being done. Comments like this serve as a reminder to me of how broken the system is and to keep resisting and to not expect others to do the fighting for me.

Whaaaaaat? Being surrounded loyalist yesmen does not produce an environment for truthful feedback? I, for one, am shocked. Shocked I tell you!

So a military parade is going to be ordered for Trump’s birthday. Got it.

Arrested by whom? Isn’t it the executive branch that controls the enforcement of laws and judicial decisions?

Serious question. What power does the judiciary have to enforce their rulings.

I have no experience nor done any research into this topic but I would think that a gun to the temple is easier to mess up resulting in either a slow death or a non-lethal shot with a life altering disability or disfigurment.

Gun in the mouth is more guaranteed a kill shot. Under the chin would probably be even more guaranteed. Just be sure to aim up and not back.

He should quickly blanket pardon himself so the Republicans push to codify that a president cannot pardon himself.

Then he should arrest and seize the property of all members of the opposition party under some BS national security claim. The Supreme Court has already granted immunity for this sort of actions by presidents so no need for another pardon.

I am starting to think about that Trump just learned what a tariff is during this election cycle. Still has no idea how they work, what their purpose is, when they should be used, nor how they impact local and global economies but, gosh darn it, if he isn’t excited to show off his new knowledge.

Maybe if they have him write out the word “TARRIF” on a piece of paper and put that paper on the white house fridge, he can be proud of it everyday and be able to move on to his next vocabulary word.

Because the reason oil companies have been making record profits is because production was not cheaper?

Is that the argument being made? Oil faced with higher costs = higher profits,therefore lower costs = lower profits?

Well, they wrote some letters. There’s nothing more the nations law makers can do to protect citizens from corporate greed and price gouging. /s

WLFI has a current value of $0.0000000000034 USD.

That’s about 3 billion WLFI for 1 penny. What a deal!

Didn’t Google try this a decade ago with Google Glass, but recieved such a negative response over privacy concerns that it abandoned the project.

Am I remembering this wrong? Have people’s views on privacy changed to the point where this is acceptable? Does Meta not have the features that Google did which prompted to backlash?

This would make traveling to Italy so much more convinient.

Or if they get the wrong address.

Or if they don’t like your skin color.

Or if they don’t like your tone.

Or if they just generally feel like it while their body cams are “malfunctioning”.

Basically, if you want to kill people with impunity, become a police officer in the US.

As individuals will each have multiple records associated with them, one for each of their previous home addresses, the breach does not expose information about 2.7 billion different people. Furthermore, according to BleepingComputer, some impacted individuals have confirmed that the SSN associated with their info in the data dump is not correct.

Remember when Trump said that the noise from wind turbines caused cancer? The internet remembers.

National Public Data scrapes the personally identifying information of billions of individuals from non-public sources

Honest question: If these sources are non-public, how did National Public Data get access?

Facetious questions: If they are using private or restricted sources of data accumulation on an international scale, should they be calling themselves National Public Data? Seems like Global Private Data would be more fitting.

What is Flipboard?

Seriously, 4 to 6 words is all it would take.

Flipboard, a social media aggregate app, is making good on a major fediverse promise.

Is that what it is? Did I guess right?
