Personally, I’m not a fan of vigilante justice, regardless of the crime, and this is certainly what this would lead to. But the big scandal is actually that there seemed to be no investigation into people apart from Epstein and Maxwell; this is the question people should be asking in my opinion: why has nobody else been prosecuted?
Not saying this happened under Biden, but why would those files be released when they could be used to prosecute those in there? It was the Republicans and more specific MAGA pushing for a release and making it an election topic. At least for me (European), the list, if it exists in this form, is something you base investigations on. You gain nothing from releasing it to the public. But Republicans used it to feed their fringe conspiracy voter base, so the question is not exactly “why don’t they release it”, but rather “why don’t they release it after talking about it for years and then putting the radio hosts who talked about it into key administration positions just to after claiming the files are on their desk stating that they don’t actually exist while simultaneously damaging people on release”. And it’s not like any potential list came up during Biden’s admin. Epstein was arrested and died under Trump.
I’d also think that some people have some kind of Dead Man Switch for releasing the relevant documents (if they exist).
There was no Epstein, only files about him, no there aren’t, and if we had any tapes, don’t you think we’d show you, except there are tapes, except they don’t show stuff
It’s just unfortunate that this BS is the way society is forced to realize that agriculture is built on exploitation, this isn’t meant to be a “both sides” moment but neither Reps nor Dems ever really cared about this. It was just always hypocritical to hate on the undocumented while relying on them
However, we all know that this administration will find the worst and inhumane way to deal with the situation.
Prohibition and the war on drugs sure worked out well when they were implemented. Surely this time …
This isn’t about making it legal, but about requiring age verification. To bring it closer to your example: stores shouldn’t check your she when buying booze, selling to everyone because if minors don’t get it there, they’ll get moonshine somewhere else, which is worse.
Kettles aren’t black, they’re metallic, and when the pot calls the kettle black, it only sees its own reflection. But both Musk and Trump are turds. No need for reflection
Think that’s called NATing
I mean if you’re going for the piracy route, you never used streaming services or bought physical media anyways and the whole discussion is moot.
Depending on the definition of war, it could be either yes, no or we already are.
Well with your DVDs the “HD resolution” question is easily answered: you don’t get HD resolution. Weird comparison there. Especially since you complain about Disney+ not going beyond 480p in your specific case - so why buy DVDs with the same shitty resolution?
While I generally agree here, resolution isn’t everything, bitrate also plays a role, and some content in streaming services has been compressed rather badly so that you get artifacts that you don’t have on DVDs. A DVD will certainly look better than 480p streaming content despite a much older codec which light only exists as a reason for an upsell.
I think the way to go is a Homeserver (could even be a raspberry pi) where you can somewhat secure your storage with appropriate redundancy.
And how would you get stuff onto your homeserver legally?
Maybe just stop complaining and focus? /s
He’s telling you that he’s not gonna judge you when you take speed, except he will
Stronger compartmentalization
I’d say the current Spanish government is pretty progressive, at least from what I can tell
It doesn’t only refer to those laying the path, but also to those that enable and make alliances with fascists because it’s the convenient thing to do or some of the goals align. E.g. our centrist or rather formally centrist party is sometimes referred as that because they shift the discussion to the right and enact anti-social policies that drive people to the extremist parties though they don’t coalise.
In German, these people and groups are called “Steigbügelhalter”.
Can’t wait for it to enter the metaverse
I knew you’d point that out.
These statements come a lot easier as a former diplomat. Let’s see if any of the current bunch have the balls to say it
BRICS as an organization and not as a loose grouping concept is somehow less than the sum of its parts I always think
