Ask Andrew Jackson about ignoring the Supreme Court sometime. Go ahead, read about it, and see if the moron known as rsilvergun has a point or not.

I was nodding along with the thrust of your comments until I hit this gem that I quoted. Civilians are being shot by police all the time. Sometimes, there are repercussions, most of the time, there is not. ICE agents have not been prosecuted even once and are completely above the law. Anything they do can not be reviewed.

I am guessing none of them have ever had to repair equipment a thousand miles from home in a combat zone. Well, at least the companies are getting wealthier... unfortunately, they will not be able to protect that wealth as the military will fall flat on its face if it can't do field repairs. The USA was nice while it lasted, but it can not last much longer at this rate. I wonder who will buy us or if Israel will use the blackmail it has on all of our leaders to just keep us as a puppet state. Or maybe we will become a vassal of Russia. Who knows for sure?

Do they? Government does need to provide infrastructure and a coherent ruleset that we can ALL abide by, but does it REALLY need to control the social affairs of its citizens? If so, why? Make sure to include how it affects/effects the concept of Freedom... or is Freedom an antiquated concept and we should all sacrifice our individuality for the Greater Good?

LOL, one of the kids in the peer group will figure a way around the ban and then share it with their peer group... and now, it will be impossible for the parents to monitor it. You clearly didn't think this through... but authoritarians never think things through. They assume that what they say is true and real, but, reality is far more complex than they give it credit for, so they, and you, are blind.

If I understand your argument correctly, what you are saying is that since Meta already thinks it knows everything about you, then you should be forced to validate that information?

I would be fascinated to see a study showing that education does NOT help people to be avoid being manipulated. I mean, if you tell someone about a trick that you are about to perform on them, do you REALLY think they would then fall for the trick after being informed? Is that REALLY your thesis here? What the fuck is wrong with you?

It is kind of hilarious that the person you are speaking with seems to think all of that shit is being taught in K12 education. "They are putting kitty litter boxes in the classrooms!". Sure bro.

Except nobody cares about the children. That is the false flag that this was enacted under. They want YOUR information, your identification. They will use AI to go through all of your history and come to a determination of whether or not you are a "good" citizen. If so, life continues, if not, you will find yourself getting queried deeply at every traffic stop, find it difficult to get paperwork through the government, and possibly carted off to a 'camp'. But yeah, keep arguing about whether or not children should have access to social media.

Actually, I like it. There just needs to be a local override that only the owner would know... say, a passphrase or some other code along with a key. That way, external events can not disrupt the normal operation of the vehicle. Yes, there is now the risk of getting kidnapped or otherwise violated to get that information out of you, but, no anti-theft system can be perfectly reliable while allowing reliable operation of the vehicle.

I tend to side with the defender rather than the aggressor unless there is indisputable proof that violence was the only answer. Ukraine is fighting for its very existence, which was previously guaranteed on paper. *shrug*

I would have utterly destroyed your world view if I were to have taken your classes. I typically finish tests very rapidly and I even know beforehand how many questions I did not answer correctly. It is hilarious turning in a test after just 15 minutes and saying that I had 3 incorrect answers out of 100. Watching the teacher grade it it and tell me I had 3 incorrect answers with a look of bewilderment on their faces is priceless.

It is not only wealthy people abusing this. I know of some families that work REALLY hard to ensure that their children are labelled a certain way so that they can get 'free' money from the government. The wealthy abuse it for future money, the poor abuse it for current money. All classes abuse and 'benefit' from this.

It is not that it is hard, it is that it is REAL. Reality can not be faked, explained away, or tolerate excuses. Reality is what everyone is trying to hide from. These are all mental games. Reality will not be fooled, only people will be fooled by these less-than-rigorous 'tests'.

In other words, by allowing these 'accommodations', we are bypassing Darwin and saying that Reality can be excused. That never works out well in the Real World (TM). We are fully corrupted with nonsense with so-called Conservatives leading the charge. WTF? Conservatives are supposed to respect/abide reality.

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying. it appears that you assume the "computer" always knows what is "right", but with hardware issues changing the information at hand, there is no certain way to "know" which address is good information or bad information. The information provided is what is used.

So, the CPU, in a non-ring zero moment reads a memory address that has corrupted data in it while trying to write to "%windir%". The result could be a write to %windir%, but it could equally be written to the wifi driver's address space.

In other words, once the kernel detects that something within itself is incoherent, the ONLY safe thing to do is shut down IMMEDIATELY. Most operating systems have a "fail safe" to write one last message to the screen... but with bad enough hardware issues, even that can fail and end up corrupting your disks or frying other hardware with incorrect voltages.

You missed the nuance of what he was saying, or so it would appear. What he is saying is that ALL answers are hallucinations. Every single answer is a hallucination. He is arguing that calling a wrong answer a hallucination is a weird thing to do since ALL answers are hallucinations. I do not think he is objecting to the word, just to its incorrect usage.

Disney is currently advertising HBO as part of their lineup for subscription... how exactly is this going to work out? Hm.
