Jeremiah 1:5 — this is something that fascinates me and why I like the movies like The Matrix

I started squinting as I started reading this, like "that's not a Biblical verse right? Am I insane? I don't remember any references to movies or The Matrix! That would be insane, the world would shake at this revelation!"

I think he had signed off permission to use his voice through AI. I imagine if I am recalling those headlines correctly, we might see its use sooner rather than later.

It's not just that. They're restricted by hospitals that employ them, and often by government regulations besides.

It has been a big hurdle with things like "right to try", and with medical journals being quite incestuous with regards to peer reviews, it ends up being a self perpetuating problem where nothing really new happens because it's the "credible" peers that end up being bought off even more than the doctors themselves.

I don't envy their position, but they are well compensated and as you say they sold their souls.

I imagine it's easy to justify it as helping the many, at the cost of the few. I imagine it's even easier to reject any conflicting information outright, thereby denying themselves the conscious guilt that would likely come with acknowledging it.

The process is definitely broken and is, like many things, in need of a rework.

I'll be right there with them.

Dogs are for loving, guarding and hunting, not for ritual sacrifice.

But then, I am also on the side that values humans so I guess it's different from the jump.

It's a bitter lesson for some that other cultures are simply savage and uncivilized, and compassion on our part won't change that.

The best things for us and the best things for them is to stay in our respective countries.

Definitely not.

My friend plays shooters better drunk. I get he's a freak of nature, but still.

Because it seems to be.

I don't use the word a lot to describe people on "our" side, but Ian Miles Cheong is a very effective grifter and is wrong a lot, even if it seems that his takes are based.

Does not have a very good history either.

Yeah... So anyway, about the death penalty.

She should be able to see every person involved killed in front of her, like I'm not going to pull punches on my wording here.

This is the type of horrific, abominable act that not only will she carry on her shoulders for the rest of her life, but she will most certainly be traumatized into paranoia that they will come for her again.

There is no recourse for the trauma, but at least knowing they are dead will bring an internal solace.

I saw this earlier and I couldn't find the words I wanted to find, so it ends up being simple:

No recourse, no rehabilitation, no mercy. The lives of any who would do this should be forfeit and their souls should be cast before God for judgement, because on Earth they should be judged as irredeemable by mortal hands.

What were the circumstances of it being shut down? If it was an older one, it may need to be modernized with modern fail-safes or other newer technologies etc.

If it was just shut down for no actual reason, that's silly.

Gene locked weapons have been tried out so many times in science fiction, and every time -- without fail -- the realistic outcome is that those locks are bypassed, nullified or hacked in some way by unsavories, the resistance to a government, or other such groups.

Any lock can be beaten with ease, and there is automatically one fatal flaw with a lock and it is the most fatal flaw of any lock, tech based or mechanical:

Physical access. Anything can be beaten with physical access and enough time. Something you don't have with "TV locks".

Kind of seems like a security risk, but then again I feel like we've been saying this for years.

You're being such an absolute dick, as if I'm defending them.

Let me dispel that notion: I'm not defending them. I'm saying that their behavior is downstream from the politicians.

If you want to continue being a dick, that's on you. Grow up, friend.

I disagree. Things like this goad them to take another shot, and keep hammering him with bunk legal interpretations which only increases his polling numbers.

I don't really take it so much at face value anymore. He promised JFK files before, and while we got some they were heavily redacted and ultimately offered only more questions than answers.

At the end of the day, this is just campaigning.

I also don't really believe we'll get much in the way of UFO information. This was also sort of talked about during the 2016 election, and regardless of what number of the UFOs were terrestrial or extra spicy, it is likely that a lot of those more "credible" sightings were experimental technologies being tested without exposure to other forces in the areas. That would be playing our hand.

It's not an unlawful order if the law is changed to accommodate it. I shouldn't have to explain this.

Politician group changes the law > police enforce the law > citizens believe it is unlawful, but that doesn't matter because it is law.

Executive branch is in charge of the police; police simply aren't smart enough (not an insult to them necessarily, since legalese is deliberately obtuse and retarded broken English) to read and properly interpret those laws, and so the default is to respond to your higher ups.

Guess what: You lose your job, or "everything", and you no longer have the opportunity to change things anyway.

Because people are unwilling to properly assign blame to the politicians and bureaucracy FIRST and instead aim the focus of their disgust at the ENFORCERS, nothing changes.

You NEED to focus on the political class, because enforcement is downstream from them.

Mock the Gestapo, I'm all for that, but you simply cannot deny what is going on without looking very foolish.

Yes and no. It's a tough equation, because the police are essentially the enforcement arm of policy.

Sometimes they should absolutely stand up and say no, but 9 times out of 10 they are hamstrung by bad policy and bad legislation.

While the police deserve ire, the primary blame falls on politicians, the bureaucracy and the media that gaslights on their behalf.

The claim is that out of the blue he responded saying all this.

He is literally responding to it. A post on his notifications prompted him to respond. That is not out of the blue.

That's not to say that invalidates the post, but when someone is prompted to respond that isn't just out of nowhere when they actually do so.

One also cannot ignore the fact that someone pointing out deltas is also being told to "reclaim a huge portion of their life and be a more productive member of society" either.
