But they didn’t get the code. That’s the quest they can do, hold you in contempt of court. Which in the US is illegal under the 5th amendment.

Maryland responds, “but wait! Where are you?”
- Comment on Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops 2 days ago:
Maybe in some countries but in a western one they aren’t getting a pattern or passcode unless you verbally give it to them. We do know though that there is some level of capability to crack phones though.

Right? I moved away a while ago but now every time I’m back I’m getting crab.

I counter with American Chili, Barbeque, and Corn Bread. I would give you Maryland Crab but I’m busy eating it.

Yeah, but there’s still the issue that half the US fits that 60k metric and that’s roughly 160 million people, or around 80 million working adults. So more than 1 percent of the global population right there. As I said above, the math doesn’t math. This myth discounts the entirety of Europe and East Asia (China actually follows the US in number of high net worth people).
There’s a way to talk about the difference in services and standards of living but spreading myths isn’t it.

That’s not how purchasing power parity works. You compare the incomes with the same power, no matter what class they are in their regional economy.

I dunno. I’ve seen hyenas in the zoo and I did not get the same feeling towards them. Lions are also rather intimidating once it’s just a bit of wire and a slightly too far jump between you. Wolves and coyotes though, they make me want to do the whole domestication thing all over again.
- Comment on 'Global Oligarchy' Reigns as Top 1% Controls More Wealth Than Bottom 95% of Humanity 4 days ago:
The math doesn’t even math though. It’s 80 million people, globally. Are we to believe no other country contributes to this number? The entire rest of the “Western world” doesn’t contribute at all?

I don’t know how this keeps getting trotted out and up voted. I swear it gets dunked on every time.

That “study” is a charity trying to guilt people into giving money. When you adjust for PPP it becomes quite a different story. The media loves it because it drives clicks but it’s literally just a calculator to guilt you and a list of approved charities.

Yeah I know that. But if not friend, why friend shape?

Oh that was me in reverse. Waking up to a pack of coyotes wondering if I was the same human. Alas I sat up too quickly, scared them off, and now I’ll never get adopted by a pack of coyotes.

People like simple rules, that’s all. So for most people it’s conjunction or possessive. The hanging apostrophe starts some fun conversations too.

They tied the state to Trump and told him he gets to debate Biden. The hot air is keeping them afloat.

My recent favorite is anthropology ignoring all evidence of women hunting because it didn’t fit social morals of the researchers.

That’s not what they said.
- Comment on The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it. 1 week ago:
It’s also a big ass war crime. And if you did it habitually as anyone other than the West you could expect a visit from the US military. Inside the West you’d likely end up in prison. Except Israel. Israel is just immune to everything because uhhh… Because… Well nobody actually has a good reason.
- Comment on ISPs tell Supreme Court they don’t want to disconnect users accused of piracy 1 week ago:
Well yeah, but the displaced workers should get a share of the profits. Most proponents of automation are also proponents of a UBI. It’s not supposed to be an existential threat.
- Comment on ISPs tell Supreme Court they don’t want to disconnect users accused of piracy 1 week ago:
No it isn’t. It’s very hard to find Americans willing and to work hours past a normal shift with little to no protective gear in a workplace that makes OSHA look like a bedtime fable.
Put workers in shifts, give them gear, and stop asking ridiculously dangerous stuff, and you’ll find plenty of Americans willing to work the job. The Meat Packing industry is the perfect example of this because they were hiring Americans. Then they decided immigrants were cheaper and they raised the price. This idea of them passing the savings along is literally marketing material. They aren’t dripping prices unless the market forces them to do so.
It was always the boss versus the workers.

They were always right about the date. They just were wrong about what Jesus is looking for.
- Comment on I hope you don't have any plans this evening. 1 week ago:
I’m pretty sure my plans are fine. Jesus is going to take one look at us and turn around.
- Comment on US can’t ban TikTok for security reasons while ignoring Temu, other apps, TikTok argues 1 week ago:
No that’s exactly what’s happened.
- Comment on US can’t ban TikTok for security reasons while ignoring Temu, other apps, TikTok argues 1 week ago:
I said Facebook because we know they’re doing it and you’d still have to actually prove that case.
- Comment on US can’t ban TikTok for security reasons while ignoring Temu, other apps, TikTok argues 1 week ago:
The argument here is more along the lines of, “you can’t make a law that defines something as murder only when I do it.”
- Comment on US can’t ban TikTok for security reasons while ignoring Temu, other apps, TikTok argues 1 week ago:
Legally it is a very good argument. A law targeting a single company in name or effect is literally unconstitutional. It’s called a “Bill of Attainder”.
The counter argument is indicting Facebook because they never stopped selling information directly to the CCP.
- Comment on Lebanon’s health minister says 8 killed, 2,750 wounded by exploding pagers 1 week ago:
He did. But the proponents of Greater Israel do actually include Lebanon. They also include Jordan, Syria, parts of Egypt, Parts of Saudi Arabia, and parts of Iraq.
This ideology is dominant in the ruling party of Israel.
