Sure, sure. You want to motivate the people with the money and power to do something about this? Tell them they'll lose money and power if they don't. Aspects of humanity like this are what make me feel like our entire species just plain sucks; you can't get any action out of people with "this is the right thing to do", you have to frame it as "this is what's in it for you if you do this".
Wow, you 'cut the cord' on companies like Comcast and went to streaming services like Hulu, and now guess what? You'll be giving your money to Comcast again anyway, if this deal goes through.
So let me get this straight: so long as I don't issue threats to POTUS or his family, I can say whatever I want?
xD xD xD Let the trolLOLOLOLOLing begin! xD xD xD
In all seriousness: I'm not even on Twitter; how much does Pussy Grabber get trolled there? I'd think he'd be the lowest-hanging-fruit of all for trolling, he's so reactive.
Fine. Know what? There are idiots who want to ban all of us from driving, force us all into Level-5 SDCs. Fuck that, let's ban humans from war. Make it all into Battlebots but with explosives. No one need die in war again. But we shouldn't have humans fighting robots in a real-world war. Of course that's precisely what'll end up happening, won't it? We humans, we're getting dumber and dumber, aren't we? We don't LEARN.
The so-called 'AI' they keep using for everything isn't even fully up to the job of operating a vehicle safely, and as if that isn't enough of a weapon to put these machines in charge of, some idiot wants to actually arm them with actual weapons of war? Utter stupidity. Just don't do it at all, problem solved.
How did law enforcement solve crimes before smartphones were a thing?
They found someone conveniently likely for a crime, then they beat them senseless until they were willing to sign a confession, just to make the beatings stopped. Then they were railroaded through 'court', and thrown in prison to rot.
Then things like 'civil rights' started becoming a Real Thing, along with novel concepts like 'The 5th Amendment', 'Due Process', and 'Innocent until proven guilty'.
None of these developments changed the basic nature of the Cop Mindset, though; they still by large and far are anal-retentive control-freaks that would love nothing better than to be above the law, and be able to go back to the days of beating 'suspects' until they confessed, whether actually guilty or not. Truth be told way too many 'law enforcement' types would love a world where everyone is under their thumb 24/7/365, no one challenges them on anything ever, and they only have to snap their fingers to get anything and everything they want, instantly. As this pertains to cellphones that are locked and encrypted is they couldn't care less if the plebian citizens don't enjoy anything even remotely resembling 'data security' so long as they can read through everything on everyones' phone anytime they please, with no warrant or other pesky 'constitutional protections' or 'civil rights' getting in the way. In fact they'd be perfectly thrilled if no phone (except theirs of course) had ZERO encryption or ability to be locked, and they could just grab it out of your hand without warning and look at everything and anything they wanted to, and smack you around if you complain about it. This of course is why we have LAWS and JUDGES and a CONSTITUTION and LEGISLATORS and OVERSIGHT of law enforcement: to prevent them deciding they're above the law and a power unto themselves. Which is all why they must not be allowed to get what they want in this case.
They're clearly not ready for real-world use, and very likely never will be, because the poor excuse for 'AI' they're using is just not up to the task of negotiating the streets of a human world. Don't even trot out the same half-assed 'tests' they've done because they're not realistic. The tragedies that have happened thusfar are more indicative of reality than any of the hype they've been feeding everyone. No one should have to die to beta-test these half-assed machines that have been rushed to market.
It's only the 'wrong way' if Russia/Putin was trying to 'convince' them of something. If you look at it from the perspective of 'Putin's plans to build USSR v2.0 via military conquest', then it looks exactly the way you'd expect it to.
Break up the Facebook empire? That's not going far enough. Burn the whole gods-be-damned thing to the ground. Set off an EM pulse bomb in every single datacenter Facebook uses, to fry every single server and wipe every single hard drive. Then nobody will have to worry about their data falling into the wrong hands again (at least not because of Facebook). Then: Google, you're next.
You're really an arrogant sonofabitch aren't you? Are you this arrogant in person, too? You must be just a joy to be around. If you have kids I feel sorry for them having to put up with your authoritarian know-it-all attitude. Troll your own kids, too?
The fact that Hillary Clinton had the almighty nerve to speak out against him for any reason whatsoever is enough to get in his head and make him obsess like this; even destroying her utterly probably wouldn't get her out of his head at this point. The fact that she's a woman, especially that she has a strong personality, just makes the offense against his ego, and therefore his obsession, an order of magnitude worse. We saw a similar reaction regarding Megan Kelly, who I'd say is on a par with Hillary Clinton so far as being strong and capable. The sort of behavior we see from Trump is what you'd expect from someone with narcissistic personality disorder, that's pretty clear.
No there IS NO BALANCE when both House and Senate are dominated by Republicans; Democrats are hanging on by the skin of their teeth just to BLOCK things, and that's not working so well either. So much for that so-called 'fact'.
Trump THINKS he's King and can do whatever he wants. That's what matters. A sane, emotionally balanced person would not think that way, they would de-couple their EGO (and his is gigantic) from the job. Not so with Trump. So much for that 'fact', too.
NO, he is NOT QUALIFIED. He's a TRAIN WRECK. So much for that so-called 'fact' (that is just your 'opinion', LOL).
How about we move on to the 'more important issue' of you either being a brain-dead, potentially sociopathic Trump supporter, or perhaps you're just another shitty troll, stirring shit up? Go fuck yourself, asshole. You think you changed my or anyone else's mind with your heavily biased rhetoric? Can I get a "HELL, NO!" from y'all out there? You're a FOSSIL. The sooner you go extinct the better.
I'm no goddamned snowflake, you asshole, but Trump voters/supporters are bent. There's no balance in this country right now and that's bad -- unless you're a Trump supporter, in which case you can't see past the end of your own nose. Obama may have fucked some things up, but not anywhere near as bad a pussy-grabber-in-chief has been fucking things up. Granted, it's a slow-motion train wreck, but it's still a train wreck in progress. No worries, though, starting with the mid-term elections, the Correction will begin.
Listen, buddy: what we don't have at current, that is more important than anything else, is BALANCE. The political needle has swung violently all the way to the bleeding-edge right, slammed up against the stop, and bent the goddamned needle . NEITHER party should have Free Reign to do whatever the fuck they want and that's pretty much where we are right now -- and with a narcissistic, unqualified 5-year-old who can't decouple his ego from his decision-making process to save his life, as POTUS. Just because the Earth hasn't opened up and swallowed the U.S. whole yet doesn't mean things aren't shit. Stop starting at your bellybutton and look around you, see what's going on.
Oh hey there's millions of {insert tasty game animal here}, we can just hunt them forever!
..and:
This {plant name here} is just some shitty weed, we'll burn it all and turn this into {farm land || a factory || a housing tract || cattle grazing land}
(then 50 years later they find out that 'weed' has/had near-magical medicinal properties)
..and, of course:
Why the fuck should I care about {animal name} or {plant name}, I can't make assloads of money from that! Get rid of it and build the {capitalist venture} there!
So, to summarize:
o Short-sightedness induced ignorance
o Base greed

How stupid are people in general anymore if a porn site actually thinks people are going to trust them to run a VPN service on the up-and-up?
Sure, sure. You want to motivate the people with the money and power to do something about this? Tell them they'll lose money and power if they don't. Aspects of humanity like this are what make me feel like our entire species just plain sucks; you can't get any action out of people with "this is the right thing to do", you have to frame it as "this is what's in it for you if you do this".
You're nuts to have any of these devices in your house, or at the very least, plugged into power when you're not actively using it.
Apparently one of Facebooks new 'partner companies' is PornHub, LOL.
How can we be sure that his 'truth' site (that's what 'pravda' translates to) really is the truth, though?
Wow, you 'cut the cord' on companies like Comcast and went to streaming services like Hulu, and now guess what? You'll be giving your money to Comcast again anyway, if this deal goes through.
They've GOT to be kidding.
Someone, please, burn Facebook to the ground, and put Zuckerbergs' head on a pole on their front lawn.
So let me get this straight: so long as I don't issue threats to POTUS or his family, I can say whatever I want?

Thank You for having your head on straight, sir, you are entirely correct.
They're clearly not ready for real-world use, and very likely never will be, because the poor excuse for 'AI' they're using is just not up to the task of negotiating the streets of a human world. Don't even trot out the same half-assed 'tests' they've done because they're not realistic.

Aw look, the Facebook addicts got all angry at me!
Break up the Facebook empire? That's not going far enough. Burn the whole gods-be-damned thing to the ground.

Well, he thinks that rules don't apply to him, which is exactly what you'd expect from a narcissistic personality.

What do you mean "we"? Oh you mean the slightly-less-than-half the country that voted for Trump? LOL.
Oh hey there's millions of {insert tasty game animal here}, we can just hunt them forever!

Any questions? Or have I adequately covered it?
