Shocking, just incredible, unbelievable even...

I can't imagine how you could have predicted that, with the history as an anti-vax nut and the hearings for his confirmation and whatnot...

I really don't see that happening. The internet and the real people that build it tend to be innovative tinkerers and hackers. Things get built because there's a need and someone tries to say they can't. P2P, darknets, proxies, VPNs, heck the whole concept of the fediverse defies the idea of control by an external entity. So they may try, but the chances are slim it works.

Their solely owned passthrough corporations however are free to invest at will.

Maybe people will be satisfied when they can put their TV under a microscope to determine the actor's sperm count...

It's been observed that the porn industry is often one of the first adapters of new media tech before they become commonplace, but I'm not sure some things need to be shown in that high a resolution.

This is one accusation he actually could feasibly back upsince he's probably on the signal chat where they plan it.

...of things already known and public while keeping the rest locked away.

Just another distracting smokescreen.

I guess I would take it being a US judge as a given. Not that this admin listens to our judges anyhow, bit I expect one from another country would hold even less sway.

Maybe, but immortality also tends to come with things like extraordinary capabilities for self repair and by extension disease resistance, so maybe they get some sort of error correcting code in their DNA replication to go with it.

It happens, the 'did I miss a cue' can be brutal if it keeps replaying. Only real answer I know is being content with your own self and if someone also happens to fall into that same space all the better. People get so inundated with images of what's 'possible' which a good chunk of it's enhanced with selective posting and filters, so we get some unrealistic view of what a normal happy life is supposed to be.

As for the sending pics, shitty people aren't worth the brain space to stress over, you dodged a bullet there.

So it really has come to blatant "fuck you we're not pretending to play by any rules of courtesy and custom anymore", and yet it goes on largely unopposed.

Decorum is dead, by most reports I see the left outnumber the right by a sizable margin, stop playing nice.
