I want the alternate timeline where, rather than just doing it to highlight the bullshit pac rules. Stewart and Colbert actually ran

I think the point is he was attempting to reach out to time travelers... or skeptically making fun of the idea with the time travelers party that no one showed up for.

Also I do have to worry quite a bit, Didn't both epstien, and one of his victims make very similar statements, before they supposedly killed themselves. Admitted I guess with more public visibility that MTG and Massie have when they did theirs, and the much increased attention of the public on the matter, it should be impossible to kill either of them without multiplying the public suspision by a factor of 100.

Usually, conspiracy theories feed on an absence of information, not a glut. But the Justice Department’s release of more than three million pages, 2,000 videos and 180,000 images has done little to smother baseless speculation or fabrication.

Well duh... it's still the absenses. It's just the glut is highlighting what's intentionally removed.

If I'm reporting a robbery of my convenience store. if I said I had no security camera footage of the event... that's a little weird.

If I report a robbery, and I do have security footage, but there's a mysterious black bar over the robbers face... you might think it's an inside job.

I can't think of anything, that's kind of the options isn't it? Buy your neighbors switchbots or reolink cameras as a gift? Them switching by choice is persuasion... forcing them to switch without giving them a choice is vandalism. I can't fathom a 3rd category, unless you can like... sue the hell out of amazon and force a recall, but pretty sure the legal system doesn't work that way.

no to my knowledge there is no clean water technology that's used for waterboarding, just noting the sad state that literally the 2 current major events of the year are extreme advances in technology to go through weeks of video footage to track down individuals, and that the DOJ is sitting on an obscene amount of CSAM, most likely involving prominent wealthy people... and there's no way this technology and this problem are going to be used together.

I believe chaos creates that smile... I think it's a reference to the old troll face memes.

Obviously, just pointing out... they literally have designed and are using a tool that has the exact capacities needed to do the unthinkable... IE watch countless hours of CSAM, that would wreck the souls of any human with a heart. identify and footnote every instance of a perpetrators face being revealed, identify and log the exact timestamp of each identifying frames.

We know they won't use it for this... but the irony of knowing they have the technology that has this exact capability, and are only using it to go after people that more or less have not victimized anyone is so disheartening.

It's like if they invented a small portable cheap device that could create safe drinking water wherever you need it, and their only thought was "hey we can use this to waterboard people".

If there was a situation I'd want something like palantiers software to scan a shitload of video footage and give facial recognition data and a summary to exist... this is it. But of course... since it would actually do some good, it's not being used for this case.

you can use voice and video rooms to my understanding of it, and yeah it can do calls. I haven't really tested it much as my matrix server is just me and my wife, and neither of us are often out of eachothers sites very long.

I wish democrats had a spine and a sense of humor... I'd say "OK I'll take the unfreeze and I promise to name the airport after you, put it in writing and we will do this deal".

then announce the new "Trump is in the Epstein files" airport.

True, I guess the process is the studios have deals/threats to sue the ISPs if they don't do it.

Either way regardless of their reason or motives. The ISP is the one that's in charge of sending the threat and dealing the punishment, and again the key point is (again region may vary, do research on your ISP), but typically they send a warning first. So in short, if you just want to get started quickly, you can just start torrenting with no VPN (you should probably seed things for as little time as possible), and hope you can afford a VPN before you get the threatening letter, if you do get the threatening letter... then stop all peer 2 peer based piracy until you can afford to do it safer.
