Funny and accurate
Is there a point to sanctions if they can transfer money to buying agents for whatever they need? Maybe the sanctions are all weapons & tech related or something.
Hmm, guess they used to be able to do U-turn payments just by using banks in various counties. If that’s harder now then it’s prob more expensive to get whatever they need since they have to pay someone enough to make it worthwhile for them to break the law. 🤷♂️
What was that?
Let’s say they only reveal themselves to Iran though @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world - what about sanctions?
Do they have $80 million in crypto?
One of the technologies of all time
Already happened once actually
We don’t know why someone hit Metcalf and that was over a decade ago.
Reposting a comment from a few months ago:
Was just worrying if we were due for one of these:
Over the course of 19 minutes, about one hundred bullets caused $15 million dollars in damage to our power grid, damaging components that take months to manufacture: 2013’s Metcalf sniper attack near San Jose, California
Moore County, NC: Gunmen shot up two power substations. 40K customers lost power. Took days to fix. FBI had warned about extremist threats to grid. Investigators found shell casings, offered $75K reward. Theories: anti-drag show motive or generic extremism. One lady died when her oxygen machine stopped (homicide). Schools closed, curfew imposed. NC governor pissed. White House “monitoring.”
If terrorists were testing our response time or something, they would’ve acted on a large scale by now right? I kinda need to always be able to charge my PC/phone soooo
Probably the least political offer I’ve ever read
Neither politics nor candidates come anywhere close to mind
How long have you been following the law?
OK.
How about you, how long have you been following the law?
Level set: ads suck
Least they can do is to serve adfree videos
Now, corporations are greedy right?
Genuine question: What does Greedy Google do if we all install adblock on all our neighbors’ computers tonight?
I imagine something like “I do not consent to a search nor seizure of any of my property. May I reach into my pocket so I may place my phone in plain view? If my property is going to be seized even against my will, I still want to ensure everyone’s safety.”
Then repeat the no consent line as you place your phone on your dashboard or whatever.
I imagine this means your lawyer will have body cam footage of the double nonconsent and the judge will see you were willing to comply even with potentially unlawful orders so the justice system could sort it out in court instead of someone trying to fight it out on the street.

I checked and murder is wrong but it’s very wrong so you can murder someone who committed murder because then murder isn’t wrong because you’re wronging in the right way against a wronger
Oh, the year is 2100 and YouTube only plays on dedicated Alphabet-produced hardware (available “free” of course) with cam-proof screens? Storytelling will come back in style with a vengeance overnight!
…and then, with the passion of a man whose next meal depends on it, he pleads:

OK kids good night!
You can fool some of the people some of the time… right? :)
I’d expect nothing less than executives at a number of the Fortune 50 to be ruthlessly cutthroat, including when it comes to vetting the claims of their marketing teams.
(I know I’m speaking about studies I only assume to exist by the way, will have to research it later)
always be detectable
Maybe with some content ID system… but you’ve just predicted their 2025 update which we might imagine would go something like this:
Do we unintentionally use products we didn’t realize repetitively messaged us?
We’ll never know…
Just kidding, we can be sure it’s incredibly well studied given the billions and billions of dollars going into ads!
Never attribute to malice what can better be attributed to only using it for a couple months and not looking into family sharing yet
