But they don’t. They just formm small communities and slowly work their way back up to power.

Might take 50+ years, but it’ll happen again and again until crushed out.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”

And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”

And i was like, ohok and he continues.

"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

Yes, but when there’s literally thousands of posts and comments to build the “between the lines” data within a 30-day time frame what excuse is there?

When somebody is trolling so hard that it’s causing strife within your community it should be addressed. Identify the behavior that isn’t desired and enforce existing rules around it or create a new one and warn the person that they need to operate in good faith within the rules or they will be ousted as an antagonistic troll.

I think the bigger issue here is the indiscriminate obvious trolling.

The fact that it took “bad judgment” and not the reading between the lines for their sealioning and bad faith arguments and faux “friend” comments points towards the need for strengthening our community standards.

Allowing people to come in and troll under the guise of “I’m following the rules lolololol” makes the mods look like rubes.

Uvalde.

Those fuckers voted for the assholes blocking gun control right after a mass shooter ravaged their children in a school as the police cowered outside.

That’s just one instance of many.

I’d ask if your my cousin, but IIRC, they’ve got more brothers & sisters than you.

Wouldn’t the inability to process the volume of request from LEOs be an apt example of an operational bottleneck?

I remeber you.

I knew you were right. I downvoted you because I didn’t want you to be right. It was a Farnsworth “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore!” downvote. I do not apologize.

I agree with you. But have you seen how California has handed over the power grid to private companies?

At least in win11.

Not sure about win10, which didn’t have it installed by default orginally, but could be now? None of my win 10 machines are recent enough fresh installs to confirm, and have winget (and choco) installed because I installed it so I can install stuff easily.

wsl --install

sudo apt update

sudo apt install firefox -y

Misgony.

From a high level.

• Woman creates a video game about her personal struggles with depression.
• Got favorable reviews, some from notable game reviewers.
• Ex-boyfriend of woman posts a blog post and releases cherry picked chat logs alleging notable reviewer gave her a positive review due to sexual favors/relationship between the woman and reviewer.
• Notable reviewer never reviewed her game.
• Toxic gamer boys got in a huff that a woman was promoted due to sexual favors. They cried “ethics in video game reviews” together.
• Toxicness spreads to other women in the video game industry because of the misgony.
• Gamergate being full of easily manipulated individuals that don’t feel like they belong or are heard are now organized.
• Group is infiltrated by people that have a malicious intent to incite and recruit for far right extremeist movements.

The details are interesting, but in the end it’s drama caused by frail male egos that led to a ton of misgony.

If you’re running Windows 10/11 Home Edition you may have to also enable the following windows features as well:

• Virtual Machine Platform
• Windows Hypervisor Platform (mixed reports of being needed)

To resell them on Amazon for $4.99 a pop to rubes that don’t buy a box on AliExpress for $4.99

And the jobs are rarely worth the stress of picking apart the terribly designed, chock full BizDev rushed ads-on features due to foolish promises, and a manager that’s stressed out due to how few experts they’re are that’s going to try and micro-manage you because his skip-level is breathing down his neck about when something is going to be fixed.

No thanks, not again.

Hell, my father received a pack of Camels in the mail on his 16th birthday directly from the company (mid-70s). He wound up smoking camels for roughly 20 years before finally kicking the addiction.

A Businesses will do all they can to expand their consumer base and find new ways to get existing consumers to spend more money on their products. If the fines are less than the increased sales, it’s just the cost of accessing that market.

Desensitized doesn’t necessarily mean somebody doesn’t have reactions to something. It just means they can compartmentalize those reactions and move forward and deal with the ramifications later.

EMTs, ER Doctors, and Nurses are largely desensitized to graphic trauma and can press through and get the job done. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t process those scenes later in both healthy and unhealthy ways (there’s a few study out there that show ER staff have higher rates of alcoholism and substance abuse rates than the general public).

Tramua is trauma, whether you’re desensitized or not.

Have you stopped and considered that all of the prosecuters are pulling from the same evidence pool? That they all worked together to deliver relevant information to eachother as they pulled on the specific investigations? Let’s not forget they were given a boatload of information from the Senate investigation. Then they worked together to tighten up all of their cases? Then the rest is up to judicial process and timing for the specific courts where filed.

With how fucking transparent the Trump conspiracies were you expect me to believe that there’s some conspiracy going on here with the courts and the current executive & senatorial leadership and that that hasn’t been leaked yet? I’m not sure how many philosophical razors that this runs afoul too, but my guess is close to all of them.

What you just did with using my words to fit your narrative is called a straw man logical fallacy, with a nice dash of false dillema.

I’m saying that these people are good at their fucking jobs and surpassed my expectations as somebody that’s not a legal expert but has watched a few high profile investigations play out in my time. Hence my surprise to seeing charges this year.

Nobody is agreeing with you. Your use of logical fallacies are causing you to think everybody is agreeing you.

You do realize investigations take time? And that charges of this level tend to take even more time?

How long do you think the Watergate investigation took? I’ll give you a hint, ~2 years.

With the number of players involved and all the shady shit that prosecutors and investigators have to go through, plea deals made, using that information to find corrobating evidence if it doesn’t exist yet, possibly flipping another witness and repeating the cycles, new witnesses coming forward, etc etc, I’m surprised we’re even seeing charges this year.
