Sad to say a few people have already set themselves on fire over this and it was quickly glossed over and forgotten, so even your extreme example isn't guaranteed to do anything.
You've had a couple good replies that answer your question, just thought this was worth pointing out.
That was the traditional meaning of the word, yes. However it has been horribly misused to push headlines and in the legal arena it has been used to push for harder penalties on what would be considered traditional weapons.
It's a pet peve of mine because it dilutes the word, but home made preasure cooker bombs have been called WMDs in the US and people seem OK with it.
You think someone stupid enough to make all the above mistakes would be savvy enough to build PKI and a RADIUS server? You're giving her too much credit.
You may be 100% right in your assessment of the scam. I can't argue otherwise because you deleted the URL, so you win by default.
I have to say I am really disappointed with this hand holding form of moderation, treating me as a child that can't make up my own mind on a product. I was able to find that cat food sold through a reputable pet store and now I can't remember the name because you've deleted it. You've decided your opinion trumps my research and that's not how an open forum for discussion should be.
I know you think that animals are going to be harmed and you're trying to do the right thing, but it's simply overplaying your role and blocking discussion. Imagine going into a BDSM community and telling the people there that what they're doing is harmful and they need to see a psychiatrist. Maybe you could be right? But it's not your call.
You should be stopping hateful speach, bullying, and trying to keep illegal content off the server. Sluthing links and deleting posts because they don't match your opinion is simply not the role of a mod. I don't mean to be rude or insult you personally, but these kinds of actions matter and really make me reconsider if this is a community I want to be a part of if it is run this way.
Reading the article it sounds like it's both.
Protesters scuffle with police, try to break through a barricade. They’re chanting “shame,” “Ben Gvir is a terrorist” and “where were you at Sde Teiman,” the infamous prison where Palestinian prisoners were abused, at the cops
Samsung has been doing this for a long time with DeX an it's awesome. However it won't really be a thing for most people until Apple does it.
This is actually a very good comparison because restaurants use this argument all the time, except for wages:
"I can't make money running my restaurant if I have to pay a living wage to my servers, so you should pay them with tips. How else can we stay open?"
These business that can't operate profitably like any other business should fail.
Bravo. That really solidified your argument.
I've been vegan for a little over five years now and I take the same multivitamin I used to take, plus a B12 supplement.
Now I happen to have JUST bought a new bottle from Costco the other day and looking at my receipt it was... $14 for 360 tablets (a year's supply). So over the last five years Big Kirkland has sucked a hefty $70 out of me for being so gullible.
If only I didn't have this wool over my eyes! Your conspiracy theory has to be the worst I've ever heard.
Absolutely. It sounds ideal for something like that.
People are stupid and easily manipulated, it's that simple. I'm including you or I in this statement as well. We might happen to be paying more attention to politics, but we're likely fooled or mislead in other areas of our lives without noticing.
No one has the bandwidth to pay attention to everything, so naturally some people autopilot on things they feel are too complicated or are uninteresting. When you autopilot then lots of things are taken at face value without critical thought, and without the historical knowledge to easily spot a trend or lie.
So yeah, were stupid and apathetic when viewed as a large group and that's unfortunate. Advertising (propaganda) has been fine tuned over the last 70 some years to exploit our weaknesses exceptionally well. Things will have to get really bad and demand the average person's attention before they will focus it.
