You seem to be thinking things will be way, way more normal in 3-4 years than they likely will be.

If we have any kind of fair elections on 3-4 years it will mean some very serious other shit went down first. And that's the stuff that's more likely to leave an impression.

This would be one of several things that needs to happen to give us all a chance.

That's whataboutism, regardless of the answer. I didnt say anythibg about the other theory.

Lack of proof is why your theory is perceived to be just some wild-ass guess.

Eh, if the US overthrew the current oligarchy and instituted real reforms I think it',d be able to rebuild pretty quickly.

If you meant that there's no chance this will happen in the next 4 years, then I agree.

The lack of proof?

Wouldn't matter anymore

One of the weirdest thing about the last 20 years or so has been how unfounded conspiracy theories and wild-ass guesses and feels get stated as fac, and people stop realizing there's a difference. Which lead to really sloppy thinking (including Trump's rise)

Arr you suggesting some action should be tsken? Or...?

Tough to do most of that if the severity of it only became clear recently.

It does seem like after 10 minutes or something that you give up and try again later, though. But I don't know what state he was in exactly so not sure if that seemed practical either.

And this person specifically encouraged that, too.

Keep them sharp? No one is building them. They don't exist. People aren't doing shit.

I work at a soulless megacorp these days, but I have to say I'm lucky and the vast majority of developers I work with arr not like this.

Why hasn't this happened in Russia?

Either way...reading through this, this developer seems like an idiot.

He doesn't really understand what the code he's shipping is doing, he doesn't want to listen to people or ask real questions. He gets defensive to even constructive criticism

Not who I want driving the project behind something as critical as my browser.

Wtf took so long

Australia's pretty nice.

One million years ago I played a game called Wing Commander, and I thought it would be funny if my callsign was Ripcord, implying I was constantly losing and ejecting.

Then later I started skydiving. But originally the first thing.

I believe in theory, they could deputize millions of people.

The marshals are unfortunately part of the DoJ and funded by the executive.
