He's hoping for Kent State 2.0 times 100. The needless deaths of innocent people is the only thing that gets him hard.

This is a distraction by Musk to pump the outrage-meter while he keeps on breaking shit. He doesn't really care about Chauvin except as a fellow fascist.

Yup. Disney doesn't stand for anything. They just pander to wherever they think the money is.

Trump doesn't know anything about Crypto. He doesn't understand how it works, what it's used for, or even how to use it. He doesn't care about Crypto personally one way or the other. But he does care about the opinions of bros and chuds and other terminally online rightwing shiatheads. And these people desperately want the government buying up crypto because it will put a whole bunch of other people's money in the market and drive up the prices of everything, including their own holdings.

This is a really obvious crypto scam on a huge scale, which will involve transferring billions of US taxpayer dollars from the US Treasury to this "strategic reserve" where it will immediately be STOLEN. I honestly didn't think I needed to point this out.

Don't worry. The Strategic Bitcoin Stockpile will be managed by this guy:

You can't have a "strategic reserve" of things that don't exist in the real world. The value of soft assets is subjective and based on their potential future earnings.

It's not my responsibility to make the FBI's job (or any cop's job) easier.

Also, folks should be using 3rd party open-source encryption, like VeraCrypt and a password manager that encrypts the database, like Keepass. Don't ever expect governments and corporations to respect your privacy.

Conservative "humor" is always dumb, blunt and obvious. Or in this case, wildly inappropriate.

He may not be holding all the cards, but he just handed you your own ass in your own office, you rotten f*cks.

When Star Wars (1976) came out, it cost 12 million to make and had almost no advertising. The "advertising" was word-of-mouth.

Modern games and movies wouldn't need to set aside 100 million dollar advertising budgets (on TOP of the cost of their product) if they would simply stop writing shit.

This. If updates are SO important, then Windows can do it while it's shutting down.

"But we acquired a successful franchise! All we have to do is attach a handle to it and crank it and the money will come flying out!"

I think the questions are from bots, testing topics to farm controversy or outrage points. The greater the number of replies, the more likely the topic will be used in a future marketing or agit-prop campaign.

So you get these really stupid, controversial, psychopathic takes that no one should be taking seriously. The point of the exercise is the emotional reaction, the outrage, not getting a serious answer.

This ancient aliens nuttery has been around since the 1950s, with books by Erich Von Daniken and Immanuel Velikovsky. Much of their "proof" can be easily refuted by anyone with a basic understanding of science.

Carl Sagan did an amazing point-by-point counter of Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision" in his book "Brocas Brain"

There must be a hundred third-party freeware apps that let you encrypt files. Heck, even zip archivers have a password protect option. If you're a whistleblower, you're going to be collecting data over long periods of time, not sending instant messages. You can use OnionShare (droid-ify) to create temporary TOR links if you really need to share a file quickly and untraceably.

This. "It is a cheap generosity that promises the future as compensation for the present."

The purpose of discipline is to live MORE fully. Not less. There's nothing noble about suffering.

Old games stood on their own merits: artwork, sound design, game mechanics. I have no idea what "retro authenticity" is supposed to be, but it doesn't sound like it involves inspiration or imagination.

What is "lol?" Is it a drug? IS IT A DRUG?

"Not realizing. "

No. They absolutely realized it. Farking the country up is the entire point

This. You don't "negotiate" with the Patent Office. The courts decide whether patent infringement has occurred. You "negotiate" with THEM.
