They get to send strongly worded letters to formally request that other nations possibly consider the contents of.

Or possibly maybe at some point in the future face slight financial consequences.

They’re protesters with guns that refuse to use the guns to actually help people unless it’s inside the extremely narrow scope of their rules.

When you’re dealing with a person that refuses to listen to anyone around them, holding an intervention is useless. Discussing the problems don’t help unless the person doing something wrong is willing to listen to the people they hate.

im guessing some people have political reasons to dislike russia

If you consider trying to genocide a neighboring country “political reasons” I guess.

A 7 million fine for stealing 1 billion in profits.

Just another day in late stage capitalism.

Of course someone usually has to go to jail for something so public, so Steve from accounting is getting his “jailbird bonus” and will be admitting to fraud, and spend 4 months in a hotel cushioned cell. He also gets weekends off.

In my experience, it’s either total incompetence of the people in charge, or it’s malicious in order to “catch” people doing something bad.

Like a bait car, but way more malicious since the person getting in the metaphorical car doesn’t even know it’s not their car because the keys worked, and nobody bothers stopping them for a few days so they get extra criminal charges.

Uhhhhhh you should probably at least drain out the placenta fluid…

I believe their comment was in reference to this.

So basically, yes. Kill everyone they can.

I only learned about hostilities between the two countries after about 28-30 years on the planet (thanks, US edumacation system) and I still don’t think I understand why they don’t get along…

To any who are stuck in their countries as their governments choose the stupidest possible actions, you have my sympathies, and I wish you well in the coming days.

Jaywalking is a fake crime made up by car company lobbies to criminalize anything being on the road that isn’t a car.

Bitch ass car peddlers trying to criminalize my natural way of moving…

A plan or program to accomplish a goal is a scheme, whether it’s beneficial or not.

Handing out flyers that properly define what socialism and communism are with the intent of educating people that they aren’t the boogeyman is still passing out propaganda, even if it’s beneficial and correct.

So yes, scheme is appropriate.

Ah. Well that’s a relief, I removed foxit, and never had anything Adobe.

I open the pdfs in inkscape to pull the vector files and save them as an svg. There’s probably a simpler way, but this allows me to open the vector in a lot more programs like my laser software and my CAD programs.

The only pdfs that get printed like a normal person are small rc planes and the files are from trusted sources.

It’s nice to know I can do a little extra to protect myself from pdf based attacks though, thanks for the info!

Any questionable software I have is coming up on 4 years old now, most of it is older than that. I move them to a new machine every time I upgrade, simply because I don’t trust torrents anymore.

Honestly, I don’t trust PDFs anymore unless they’re from places I know are “safe” which kind of sucks because I’ve been getting back into RC as a hobby and it’s hard to find non-pdf plans. I prefer vector files, but I’m having to try my luck with jpg and png files.

A lot of the programs I used to use have been surpassed by current FOSS projects, and I’ve been replacing them as I can. Finding an open source laser engraver program that isn’t shit is proving difficult.

That’s how I’ve been pronouncing it in my head when I read it.

I still say “Twitter” though because that and the gulf of Mexico are the only things I feel are okay to deadname.

Living in an echo chamber can make one pretty deaf to life’s real problems.

Even IF we are ALLOWED to vote next year and beyond, and IF we manage to pull our heads out of our asses, we will be fixing this mistake for decades.

And if we aren’t allowed to vote… Well, I hope we remember the cure for fascism soon. Actually strike that, it implies I’m willing to wait 1-3 years to find out, I want the people to remember the cure now.

I can only imagine what bullshit I’m going to hear over the next few years about why the US isn’t doing well but the EU and Canada are.

When someone informs him it’s named after a person he will demand that this domestic terrorist be brought in for impeachment and deported, not understanding why none of that makes sense

Literally more expensive than every computer I’ve assembled put together.

Bravo, I’m sure the vfx departments of both studios that buy one will love it! (Is joke pls no yell)

“just doing my job” isn’t really relevant when your job is literally destroying democracy to assist a fascist neo-nazi regime

Yes, quitting “in protest” is an option, but why do that when you can just collect a paycheck and be a shitty as possible at your job until you get fired?

“oh sure thing boss I’ll get right on this deletion thing” 6 days of fucking around on the fediverse later, websites still unchanged “oh yeah I’m working on it, top priority!”

I get fear of retribution if they figure out you’re doing it on purpose to sabotage efforts but like… How many people are actually bothering?

I can’t imagine someone in the firing squad trying to say “I was just doing my job”, it’s not the same thing as the guy working in the lunchroom. The only difference in my opinion is the firing squad kills people and the guy at the computer kills information, democracy, morality, common sense etc…

You can’t say you were just doing your job when your job is “destroy this information”

Yes, it’s “just a small part” but even the Great Wall of China is made of smaller bricks/slabs. The whole can’t exist without the separate pieces.

I’m a little rambly, apologies. I hope I’ve made a coherent point.

Exactly what I was thinking.

When you’re cut off from any help, you ARE your own help. Don’t wait for something unthinkable to happen, this person has made it clear they don’t respect you or boundaries, and have made threats.

It’s 9v1, if you’re scared just wait until they’re asleep. Kick them out the door, lock it, and they can try walking their happy ass back to civilization. from Antarctica

Don’t bother looking for a body.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that “you just read the title” and now they’re mad for being called out.

Embarrassment can cause people to lash out in irrational ways.

Apparently that sort of thinking makes you a teenager with no world experience. At least that’s what I’ve been told I sound like.

The moral high road is filled with corpses.
