  • Probably not. Growing up, a kid I went to school with had the philosophy of "always assume that your parents can and do spy on you all the time in ways you can't detect." Overblown maybe, but he never got in trouble for about, so there's that. If you're afraid of the government - which you should be, especially when protesting - it's better to be safe than sorry. Leave it home. Get a burner phone if you need one.

    Damn I haven't thought of that kid in like 20 years. I wonder if he ended up a normal adult or not.

  • Look, understanding and relating to someone of a different race is one thing, but if you think that you somehow are that race then there's something wrong in your brain, one way or another. It's better than being like "I'm really a wolf" or similar nonsense, but only because at least you're not claiming it believing that you're a different species. Instead you're on the sliding scale of delusion/dog whistle and either way I'd rather just not be around you.

  • I mean, yeah. If someone had the technology to not only fly half a billion light years to get to our little mud ball (in person or with advanced machines) they'd have a trivial time hiding and blending in. Most likely for the same reason, since there's literally nothing we have that they could want other than to study us as a curiosity. The only resource we have that they couldn't find easier and more abundantly, or reproduce from samples, is our culture. That's it, that's the only thing we have that might be considered with the effort. Not water, air, energy, precious metals, phosphorous, brains, mates, food, slaves, vassals, soldiers, or anything else that would be worth the trip.

  • Eh it depends on who you are and where you're from. Chicago and Boston have a lot of Irish heritage. Everywhere else it's mostly just St. Patrick's Day, aka amateur night. So it's mostly just an excuse for the lightweights to go get drunk on shitty beer.

    Seriously, who gets drunk on Miller or Budweiser? It's like trying to run a car engine on Kool-aid.

  • It'd be better to selectively eliminate targets and then observe the results before acting again. Strategic and deliberate, not indiscriminate or rushed. A lot of them are super old too, so a heart attack or stroke isn't exactly going to raise any eyebrows if they're spread out a little. If you go around chain slaughtering hundreds of people in a niche environment (rich & powerful), people are going to take notice and start looking into things. And if a Death Note actually existed, that would imply that there are people who could track such a thing, therefore necessitating cautious and deliberate use rather than acting like a manic psychopath.

    Also I checked how much ¥10m was in USD. It's 69,427.60 as of Monday 12:40am CST. So close.

  • I've seen mixed answers to that question. Some replies were that most of the grunts either don't care or are glad to follow Trump's orders, but another source says that calls into the military's anonymous complaint line (or whatever it's called) are way up.
