I know you’re being cheeky, but we did get an answer to what the Ultimate Question was…
The Ultimate Question “What do you get when you multiply six by nine” is found by Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
they’re rewarded handsomely for that behavior
It’s more just that they aren’t punished for it. They don’t have the empathy to give a shit, and thus will do things regular people won’t. If society doesn’t punish them for being a piece of shit, then there’s no downside to being a piece of shit for them, only upsides from taking advantage of situations others won’t.
They won’t know they didn’t.
We have concepts for a puppy.
It’s not even policies changing, it seems to be based solely on the scanning hardware they have.
Some airports have different scanners and you can leave them in the bag. Others it needs to be separate, and every electronic device has to be in a separate box.
It’s almost like the entirety of the news media no longer does what they were created for, informing the public (even biased as they were), and only exists now to sell advertising.
The war on Christmas cannot end until the Holiday Season Imperium ends it’s illegal occupation of November.
They usually do, it’s pennies to the government. Notice however, it’s information leading to the arrest AND conviction. They’re not getting paid anytime soon, if at all.
I literally just gave the example of them never switching parties and just voting opposite of their party all the time.
We already know that half of the electorate doesn’t look past the letter next to a candidate’s name. And a lot of elections have no challenger at all against the incumbent, even in areas where people complain about their representatives a lot.
That doesn’t actually solve a single issue, it’s just a lazy simple answer you think is some sort of gotcha, because you want a quick fix. That’s why we have shit like vague abortion bans and doctors that don’t know what is legal instead of specific guidelines they can follow, even if those guidelines are dogshit. Simple fixes are rarely good fixes, they’re just feel good fixes that actually make the issue worse when the complexity of the real world goes against it.
Agreed, however how do you word it to actually be effective? If you just make changing parties within X days/months of an election then they would just then not change parties. They’d stay registered as a Dem and vote with the GOP on everything. And what prevents them from just staying that way as a spoiler candidate in the future?
The only real effective prevention for this is an educated electorate. An educated electorate is what our system was designed for. It was not truly democratic or fair for all citizens, but everyone that could vote were expected to be educated on these matters just as part of society. Not quickly trying to learn about things right before an election, but educated about politics constantly because that’s what their position in society already required. As voting rights have expanded, the systems have not been updated and voter education has dramatically fallen.
Well yeah, they obviously plan to Epstein him. The public response around this hasn’t been going their way, they want to sweep it under the rug as quickly as possible.
App Pinning DOES NOT lockdown the device, even if you have it set to require a PIN to unpin, biometrics still work to unlock the device.
It also gives you a warning that personal data may still be accessible and the pinned app can open other apps. It specifically says “Only use app pinning with people you trust”… which is the exact opposite of the use case here. And app pinning is turned off by default, you have go go searching in the settings to enable the ability.
This is the biggest issue I have with them. The only way this will work in modern society where the police can’t be trusted, is if the IS is accessible while the rest of the device is locked down.
And that’s really only possible if Apple and Google integrate that directly into the OS.
Why didn’t they bring it out more often?
It’s not the right measure for progress. It’s the right measure for viability. If yield is terrible, the end product may cost too much to market.
Well it’s a good thing that we have meds that allow us to delay the necessity in making that choice. Oh wait, no, they are preventing those as well, forcing a choice on the child. The exact opposite of what you claim to be trying to stop.
Maybe you need to actually be educated about things from industry experts before you try and force your expectations on society. Because they’ve dedicated their life to this. Your feelings about the matter mean absolutely nothing.
Agreed here. Grijalva is a standout example here, one of the few members of Congress that has been there a long time and hasn’t made a massive fortune from insider knowledge.
100%. And until that happens, we should all just assume the worst case possible is what they found.
Just like if evidence is destroyed for a trial, the jury is instructed to infer that it must be so damaging that the destruction and their imagination of its contents was somehow a better outcome.
These reports should be required to be released. Either the ethics report shows their actions were ethical, or it doesn’t. Either way the public deserves to know.
DARE introduced my entire class to drugs and their various wondrous effects. Learned way more from DARE than anywhere else at the time. And that was in a public school in a southern border state.
