The US generally holds that only foreign individuals and organisations can be terrorists. So if Luigi can be charged with terrorism, so can the KKK.

While I’m sire there is no love lost towards healthcare execs for even the police, an uptick of “terrorism” could also be used as an excuse to give even more power to the police as well.

If he used violence against noncombatants.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were terror attacks though.
- Comment on How likely will "Cloud Storage" eventually replace Local Storage? 6 days ago:
If megacorps have their way, you won’t be able to use banking, government, social media, etc. if you aren’t running their proprietary slop.
See Google’s Attestation API attempt. Computers can become like smsrtphones are right now.
- Comment on How likely will "Cloud Storage" eventually replace Local Storage? 6 days ago:
Or more likely, desktop OSes will be locked down and will simply not be able to use it, while bank websites and other stuff will only work with locked down OSes.
For your security of course.

Don’t worry, I balance your biases out by throwing every CV with military service out before the first round.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 got a surprise reveal at The Game Awards, and this one is all about Ciri | PC Gamer 1 week ago:
Her head looks more round and less angled.
She just looks different. It’s a bit of an uncanny valley for me, but I’ll get used to it.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 got a surprise reveal at The Game Awards, and this one is all about Ciri | PC Gamer 1 week ago:
I was not commenting on her attractiveness, just that the defining character features seem to be different. She doesn’t look “older” or less attractive to me from Wild Hunt, just a different person.
It’s not as bad as when they dropped the voice actor for Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell though.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 got a surprise reveal at The Game Awards, and this one is all about Ciri | PC Gamer 1 week ago:
Is it just me or is her face a bit weird? Like too much jaw?
I’d love to play the game as Ciri though, hope they make up a good story, it felt the Wild Hunt was her story, IDK what can top that.

Is that the one with the external launcher requirement?
- Comment on Can the public expect to get to see Luigi Mangione's 3 page manifesto in its entirety in a reasonable timeframe? 1 week ago:
To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.
Apparently this is it.

In my defence, I was guessing from the thumbnail, as the picture does not load for me.
At least being confidently incorrect got me the right answer.

- Comment on If billionaires and CEOs feel like they need to start paying for large security details, would that be an example of trickle down economics? 1 week ago:
So here’s a bit of Marx for you, no, they literally can’t.
Unregulated capitalism floats the most unscrupulous, must exploitative companies to the top, because if they stop being the arch-enemies of humanity, they will get outcompeted. Those at the top are just as much slaves to the system as those below, except most of them like it that way.
The only way they could really help is if they lobbied for getting money out of politics, or better workers’ laws. But they won’t because of the above point.
- Comment on If billionaires and CEOs feel like they need to start paying for large security details, would that be an example of trickle down economics? 1 week ago:
In the US, unions are very strictly regulated, but aeroplane manufacturers are pretty much completely unregulated.
We see the results.
Or what exactly do you mean?
- Comment on If billionaires and CEOs feel like they need to start paying for large security details, would that be an example of trickle down economics? 1 week ago:
Who expected a multimillionaire to be targeted before very public figures like Musk? And will private security take their job more seriously than the USSS?
If they only kill the billionaires whose security lets their guard down because “no way it’s happening to us”, that still makes for a steady stream of blood.
- Comment on If billionaires and CEOs feel like they need to start paying for large security details, would that be an example of trickle down economics? 1 week ago:
No. Trickle-down economics is the theory that deregulation and business-friendly laws result in more successful businesses who can pay their employees better. What it forgets is on one side, who are paying for those businesses to get successful, and that businesses in general are interested in low wages above all.
This would be “job creation” at best, with the G4S shareholders getting most of the spend, the actual security guards are underpaid peons like us.
However, it would at least show and remind the leeches every day that they have something to fear.
Also, security details can be great at their job, but a lot of it is theatre, and even a determined lone assailant can get very far. And they only have to win once, the security detail has to win every day.
Trump was almost killed despite the USSS, JFK was also shot way back when. Is G4S better than the USSS?
- Comment on What do we think will be GoTY and which game do we think should be? 1 week ago:
I was thinking of getting it, what’s up with Stalker 2?
I don’t know about the GoTY thing, this year has not been that great with games.
I’d go with either Satisfactory or Slay the Princess, despite neither of them being real 2024 releases, they both got their most recent edition released this year.

She’s just angry
Considering the state of the world, I can’t blame her.

I know it’s insidious. This shit sandwich has so many layers by design that it’s easy to misinform even courts, much less people with limited time or willingness to talk about these things.
- Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons? 2 weeks ago:
National governments don’t give a fuck about their own armies until they need them. Ironically, most CIS countries needed their armies to defend against Russia.
EU countries can not wage wars against one other, armies or not, as everyone knows that the whole bloc’s economy would crash instantly as soon as we stopped trading. If German tanks rolled across France again, their crews would starve, as would the French defenders before they could kill each other.
The only reasonable use for an army in modern Europe beyond imperialistic outings with the US to countries who deserve better is to defend against Russia (and maybe China).
- Comment on Google seeks to undo Epic Games antitrust win over app store 2 weeks ago:
Google has agreements with the manufacturers that prevent or heavily disincentivize the manufacturers from doing that, otherwise they essentially can’t use Android.
- Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks, my nuclear chemistry was a bit rusty.
- Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, you’re thinking, what if the US invades Germany?
So you see, there is one reason we keep the French around beyond baguettes and wine, it’s their ability to turn all major US cities into a radioactive wasteland regardless of what happens to the rest of the EU.
And the French are willing to do that and are obligated to beyond NATO as well.
- Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons? 2 weeks ago:
The Montebello Islands disagree.
You technically could build a nuke with enough enriched uranium. The recipe for a nuke is literally:
- take half of the amount of the enriched uranium required
- smash the other half into it
- boom, Hiroshima.
You need a particular kind of nuclear reactor to create the enriched uranium, though. But for example in Ukraine, the Chornobyl reactor was built exactly for that.
That said, the US, the UK and France are the only three NATO countries allowed under international agreement to build nukes.
- Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m pretty sure if Germany and the US were on so bad terms that they wouldn’t be trading, Western civilization would just collapse. The NL of ASML fame is a very, very close German ally.
- Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons? 2 weeks ago:
About the same thing as if the AfD does.
We get fucked, my friend. And that’s why establishing a shared EU army to pass the nukes to would be good for everyone.
- Comment on Hustle? In this gig economy? 2 weeks ago:
That said, it’s not a lovely thing here either. They absolutely do discriminate on how your name sounds, in some places being asked for a picture is still the norm, my landlord literally had to see our engagement photos before renting to us, and I could continue.
Back where I emigrated from (similar reasons to yours), there is a saying “the fences are not made of sausages over there either”. But the thing is, they are not made of shit like back home. There is a valid reason you came here, and I think you’ve made the right choice. I know I have.
Employers suck ass everywhere. You can do it. We’re fingers crossed for you from over the Channel.
