I actually have government experience.

Well that disqualifies you for this administration to begin with

I hardly listen to any hip hop (middle aged white guy) but I dove in when he did the superbowl and really enjoyed his music.

bad example imo. Bundy's militia set up check points to demand anyone driving past proved they were a US citizen at gunpoint, and then went on to committ the 2014 Vegas Mass Shootihg, or were sent to jail for more than a decade. The leaders (Bundy and two sons) were arrested and put on trial several times and only escaped due to a jury deadlock and prosecutorial mishandling of documents.

They were also against the Bureau of Land Management, not the US Army or ICE, and their armed stand off caused those threatening the Land Mgmt agents to be arrested by the FBI and incarcerated.

The situation discussed (vs a hypothetical US ethnic cleansing) is not about a Land dispute with the land bureau over cattle grazing, and is also started before 9/11, two Bush and two Trump administrations and the expansion of powers to ICE and immigration

why do Lemmy users hate titles that aren't paragraphs? did yall watch too many of those animes with three-sentence titles?

Consider Waco, TX. And that was 30 years ago before the massive leaps forward in drone, communications, satellite and digital technology.

Having guns does not protect you from the government. It may even barely protect you from an armed burglary. Guns are largely used for hunting deer shooting stationary paper indoors.

If you actually want to use guns to fight back against the government you needed to have built your fortified underground structure which is completely sound proof and infrared proof, and fully self sustaining for air, food, water and sewer filled with hundreds of people by now.

anyone questioning this has just simply never eaten it.

not one hour ago a client emailed me annoyed that I made their 7 emails point to one web page and didn't make a separate but identical web pages for each email, obviously me being lazy.

Portuguese isn't that bad

ah the universal symbol for "don't do this"

isn't the entire concept just trying to side step journalism though? The block chain is just replacing journalistic standards for something that is more easily corrupted with no guarantee of a better outcome.

And often in tricky journalism such as exposés, you don't want your source to be trackable. That's why Robert Maxwell was such a piece of shit as a newspaper journalist, he would shop his sources to Mossad.

to be more clear: block chain for images is a solution in search of a problem because no one is looking for mass-verified images, they are looking for source-verified images, because you can still fake something on the block chain at point of creation. In 2025 the main concern about faked images is with AI, but more sophisticated and more convincing images can be made with older, even analog technology like airbrushing.

Your example of a sped up Democrat could still be disseminated on the block chain and it would do nothing to confirm or deny its veracity.

still a solution in search of a problem, unfortunately.

We can still tell when something is AI and it's not at a stage where it can fool mainstream news or the legal system.

it's weird they didn't use either the WoW trading card

or the Hearthstone card

which are both part of real games.

I'd be surprised if Ukraine isn't feeding Trump false info to see if Russia reacts to it

I wouldn't say being unable to buy your own soap is rugged

me when the event

"fucking oak what the fuck" still works so not that different

the way I do it even FM is gay
