It’s worked wonders for centuries. Half the reason “you should go to war” was a thing was because of the unspoken “so you can steal a bunch of shit from the villages you burn”.

NWS has largely lost the ability to do that. The NOAA data just isn’t there thanks to DOGE tearing the agency to shreds.


Still not a coup. This is straight up kidnapping. A coup by definition is internal.


Honestly, I can see that. A lot of suicides are spur-of-the-moment, and the more a person has to actively work at it, the less likely they are to actually follow through on the attempt. Even just those couple seconds of working at it to get a whole box of blister packs open could be enough for a lot of people to stop, think, and say “actually wait”.


In fact, this is something I could genuinely see multiple people in my own extended family saying.


This might also count under assault, depending on state laws. Someone turns up at my door with a fucking sword, a gun, and a belt full of chemical weapons, I’m definitely going to feel like he’s there to harm me, whether or not he says he is.


Sounds a bit like bite mark analysis - make up the result you want, then make the data (or test) fit.


Pretty much this. The business model now is create your killer app with AI, get it to where it JUST works, then sell the whole company to a bigger fish that has devs that can fix things. Rinse and repeat.


Totally legal, all of that. The grenades require a $200 DD stamp each (don’t think the smokes do, unsure about tear gas - I know I bought smoke grenades for airsoft all the time back when I played), but everything there is totally legal from your local gun show or Bubba.


People theorize that they’re installing extensions to the presidential bunker.


Oh no, lots of companies rely on the ESTA as well. Good luck going to the US on business trips.


Add a lanyard and a polo shirt with a logo and you’re effectively invisible.


And by extension, setting precedent on repealing laws based on procedural nitpicks rather than substance, meaning a LOT more laws might be up for debate.


They’re already priming this pump with Megyn Kelly questioning “well if the kids had started puberty, was it really pedophilia”. There’s a shocking amount that are also being led either to “well what if the child consents” and the more common “children shouldn’t have any rights at all so it’s effectively a property crime”.


That’s my point. He is enough of a fan to know the connotation. He knows what the name implies, and company names are a deliberate choice that imply things about that company.


While this is true, job opportunities for remote markets are drying up. Those markets in rural areas went big because everyone was working remote, and you can do that from anywhere with an Internet connection. Now that everyone is being forced into RTOing, people are selling those nice little rural homes to move back into apartments in the city, or else trying to find business opportunities or something out in the country.


There’s also just the fact that “weapons grade” just means it’s useful for a fission weapon. Nothing’s stopping you from taking that cobalt-60 you found in that Therac at Daryl’s junkyard, strapping it to an IED, and using that as a dispersal device to give a lot of people radiation poisoning or whatever (the traditional “dirty bomb”).


So officially it’s just ACCESS. You’re not carting it away without an escort or a clear idea of where it’s going, and it’s still technically controlled by the DOE. However, since the levers are all ripped off by the administration cutting everything to the bone and then some, this is effectively a cash injection to OpenAI by financing some terror organizations and rogue states.


One use I’m honestly fine with on the whole. Fleecing your company is always morally correct.
This doesn’t matter, because if you’re a soldier getting things shipped to you, it goes to an APO box that then gets sorted internally to go wherever that soldier is stationed. You’d have to stop shipping to military members entirely.
