Partly, yes. But also partly because world leaders have realised that if you don’t want the US to fuck you up the ass you need to say nice things to Trump, preferably combined with gifts.

Hol up. Didn’t NATO guy wank all over daddy’s boobs already?

I had a feeling this would lead nowhere.

precisely the point I was trying to make.

Oh man.

My comment was intended to imply that the term “hacking” defies definition because it has been grossly overused and misconstrued over many decades.

Sure you might be able to convey what it means to you but of course it means different things to everyone else, with each definition being equally appropriate.

Er go, any discussion is one of semantics.

Define hacking.

Generally evidence is needed to arrest someone.

Super frustrating article to read.

A single person being stabbed isn’t a “major incident” if you’re the chief of police or whatever a prefect is.

If only there were some way that the people could kind of ha e their say and direct lawmakers th address some of these problems. The people need to choose some kind of representative that propose and pursue these changes. Imagine if you could just kind of “poll” the will of the people and add up everyone’s choices to choose a representative.

That’s i good point i guess.

There’s no way to confirm so it’s just a rumour.

I think there’s a huge difference between serving in a military controlled by a healthy democracy, and serving in a military controlled by an authoritarian regime.

Several weeks ago you could forgive someone for not realising that Trump is the latter, but not really any more.

Yeah. It feels that way. What defines a world war anyway? Is it just when “most” countries become engaged in a major conflict?

Wouldn’t this cause catastrophic domestic problems though. I think the US would tear itself apart trying to go to war with either of those three. Greenland perhaps less-so but still incredibly distasteful.

It’s really counter-productive to play armchair air crash investigator.

I don’t get what you mean by “and no one figured that out yet.”

I mean there’s many experts watching the same footage who are not making an assertion that the pilots got confused about the landing gear and the flaps.

I’m not an expert, but pretty much every plane crash expert on the planet is watching the same footage and saying they don’t know what’s happened.

It’s absurd to suggest the pilots accidentally retracted the flaps and no one figured that out yet.

You don’t really need to be humanoid to manipulate ddmoors and gates

Like what… stairs?

Just leave the package at the bottom of the stairs like humans do.

Sure. Ok mate. Please, by all means continue providing Greta all the positive reinforcement you like.

… but not for the innumerable other people doing more than Greta?
