  • From your links:

    Von der Goltz pleaded guilty in December 2019 to conspiracy to commit tax evasion, fraud and submitting false documents. He has already repaid the government more than $230,000.

    Original indictment:

    These shell companies and bank accounts made investments totaling tens of millions of dollars.

    Make it make sense

    "Not world changing" is insulting for the amount of money these people hid to avoid taxes.

  • “Unfortunately, when you find something like that in your garden, you’ve got to do something… but obviously it was a bit of a waste of a day, in terms of barbecues.”

    Man has his priorities right.

  • "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

  • There have been attempts at an Article 5 Convention but often doesn't get enough traction.

    At this point, a civil war is far more likely than a constitutional amendment passing.

  • Amazing! I'm not blind but often use accessibility features that make my life easier (e.g. speech to text on my phone has been a godsend!).

    Accessibility matters to everyone.

  • Like they pay taxes.

    More accurately, "We need to stop these poors and working class from taking money the government can give to us instead!"

  • Which....is absolutely wild. The government should absolutely be funding vulnerability research. If anything so that they can exploit them.

    But I suspect they are taking the corporate approach. The foundation is going to do the research anyway and publish it widely. Just take advantage while adding nothing of value in return.

    God I hate this fucking timeline.

  • This is going to be another Panama files isn't it? Overwhelming evidence that billionaires are shits and world governments everywhere collectively do fuck all about it.

  • Fun fact: the original Matrix script actually had the machines using humans for processing instead of as energy output.

    Studio execs thought it was too far fetched and made them change it.

  • I have a stupid question: how did El Salvador even agree to this? Like what mechanism allowed Republicans to send people there to begin with?

  • I would love to have the judge question them directly on the sanctity of human life and how it does not apply in this case but applies to abortion.

    Hell, if we can get a hold of the plaintiff and ask them to lose the case so that we can build case law off of the ruling, we might be able to get the Catholic church on record as saying abortion should be legalized.

  • Because he has fans and backers. He needs to court both to survive.

  • For me, it's contributing to open source projects that are for NSFW things, stashdb specifically.

  • Wait....waterproof notepad?! How does a notepad hold the moisture from the pen? Or is this like a grease marker situation?

  • Having multiple accounts is against their TOS

    "One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well, that's fine, but it can only be used for running a machine)."

    Which is absolutely stupid. I should be able to separate my work commits from my personal commits.

    That said in practice, I'm guessing this is only enforced if they detect you abusing their services.

  • My penis sits on the toilet seat between my legs. It's uncomfortable to put under the seat to pee.
