- Comment on Do rich people get addicted to drugs? 1 day ago:
Drug addiction can happen among rich families, yes. Coke is common among them because it tends to be an expensive party drug.
As Noel_Skum mentioned, the dealer likely wouldn’t kill the guy who owed them. Some much more likely ways the dealer would act:
- Kidnap the debtor and ask for a ransom from the family
- Get info on the family in order to kidnap some relative
- Steal from the family home (likely convincing the debtor to do that, as they likely know where mom’s jewels are, etc)
- The two make a plot to kill the parents so the child can inherit the entire fortune and pay off the debt.
All of these have happened in real life

Wasn’t there a similar shit patent headline about sony doing that?
Oh yeah, there was, “ghost assistance”, aka “no need to look up on youtube”; something which I’m pretty sure exists as “previous art” in some game or another - gamesindustry.biz/sony-patents-ai-generated-ghost…
Also, bots that automate play have existed since the old MUD days, this patent must be like the many that are “something that already exists, but

a locked down device is more simple to support
Not really. Locked down hardware specs are simpler to support, because, well, it’s the same hardware everywhere. Hence why standardized computers and phones like Apple’s stuff are theoretically easier and simpler to support: there’s very little variation.
The main support problem tends to be drivers and that’s a vendor-OS problem (nvidia on linux being a classic example). The experience is also entirely reliant on how well the OS behaves once it’s fully up and running, the boot sequence being locked or not makes no difference for that experience.
Normal users rarely, if ever, boot into recovery mode. To think that having full access to a well hidden feature that only advanced users are likely to even bother with will affect their experience at all makes no sense.

Brazil nearly suffered the same consequence, thankfully bozonazi is jailed now. Too bad a lot of the supporters are still out and about, including his sons

So, all those cartoons depicting cavemen dragging a woman by her hair were on to something. Time to write some caveman on modern woman smut!

Speaking of, today my dad threw me a wiki article about Clockwork Orange. Not the movie, the bri’ish smear campaign against politicians in 1974-75
As Peter Wright confirmed in his book Spycatcher, Wilson was the victim of a protracted, illegal campaign of destabilisation by a rogue element in the security services. Prompted by CIA fears that Wilson was a Soviet agent - put in place after the KGB had, the spooks believed, poisoned Hugh Gaitskell, the previous Labour leader - these MI5 men burgled the homes of the prime minister’s aides, bugged their phones and spread black, anti-Wilson propaganda throughout the media. - www.theguardian.com/…/comment.labour1

Maybe the frying is the special sauce in making them more flammable? Fry donuts with a donut-fueled stove to get more donuts for fuel.
