Maybe for the same reason they have (or had) microphones on their desk: The shows started out just filming a radio program

Prove to me the imaginary lines in the dirt exist first and then I’ll counter it.

“Lines in the dirt exist because we imagine they’re there”

Still not convinced.

Yeah but even the ground war needed a clear plan, coordination with allies, and the other stuff I’m too drunk/high to remember.

After air superiority was obtained.

Okay but why do states exist in the first place.

Also: Consent of the governed

Iraq 1991.

ETA: Ground pounders big mad.

Yeah, obviously.

With diligent planning and help from our allies and a clear objective victory from the air is achievable.

We just had none of those things.

Ham hocks in green lentil soup is one of the best soups ever.

I don’t even like imaginary lines in the dirt to begin with so you’re gonna have to make a better argument than U Haul

Having read the article, I like the notion of some counties being able to redraw state lines with some limitations. There’s parts of states that feel like parts of other states and letting local folks choose their government was kind of the point.

We should send 1,070 balls to Congress since they seem unable to grow a pair themselves.

So you’re saying there’s gonna be a glut of graphics card and RAM eventually?

Yep. I’ve been using AI more for work and if I’m not vigilant it will fuck up. It’s like having a very fast intern. You still have to check their work carefully.

I guess if you’re okay with getting caught

Another data theft, which is not what people envision when they think “Robin Hood.”

They’re picturing a Mr. Robot-like restructuring of the financial system, or even just eliminating debt like was proposed in Sneakers, or maybe just moving money around like that one episode of SeaQuest with Tim Russ.

And to do that you need a lot of people to get code anywhere near production, and everything is audited, and the timelines are measured in quarters.

And then you need to do it for the rest of the banks in the system. Mr Robot only worked because Ecorp was a monopoly.

Downloading a bunch of data from educational systems is significantly easier than getting exploits into banks and financial systems, which is what I assumed a Robin Hood hacker would be doing.

Okay so now you’re in one system in one company. And that person still needs approval and a four hour zoom call to push anything into a position where it can make a difference.

I know, I’ve been on dozens of calls like that.

And even then you’ve pwned one of about a dozen companies you’d need to make a dent.

And then some dickhole will rat you out to the FBI for leniency.
