Anything that transmits a signal can be found, just get that out of the way immediately. The only way to be 100% untraceable is to never transmit.

Mesh networks, however, are pretty safe. Triangulating the origin of a mesh transmission will just lead to the repeater node which, admittedly is a pain in the dick if they kill the repeater and the network goes dark, but it doesn’t lead directly back to a person, just a box they stuck on a cell tower or up on a hill somewhere.

If anyone’s ever going to be able to crack the secret to widespread adoption of VR, I think it’ll be Valve.

Over $100 billion in research and investment just to go “Nah, nevermind.”

Yup. You definitely have no idea how treaties or international relations work.

I get that it’s scary that the US is doing it, but this is far from the first time world leaders have blustered about wanting territory that wasn’t theirs.

The international community didn’t support preemptive action even when 50,000 troops were massed on Ukrainian borders, they’re not going to do it when a single US combat asset hasn’t moved towards Greenland yet, and not a single policy decision has been enacted.

Edit- don’t get me wrong, if we start blockading Greenland, massing naval and amphibious forces, or building up ground units on the base in Greenland, then absolutely bomb the shit out of them, but the international community will never support action before that. It’s ludicrous to think they would.

…because the last window of opportunity for anticipatory self-defense has been repeatedly ruled by the international community to not extend that far?

Troops massing at borders is precisely the situation that the last window of opportunity is referring to.

I’m starting to think you don’t actually know the statutes involved or their previous legal cases, because if you did you’d know your “argument” is completely worthless.

STOP PRETENDING TO BE A RANDOM USER IN ORDER TO SELL THINGS

I think this might be the most insulting trend in current advertising. You’re not fooling anyone. Just stop.

But it isn’t the same argument.

When DJs sample, they choose the samples, choose the pitch and playback speed, and choose where and when to put the sample in their songs.

There is no human intentionality in AI-created music. No one decided what the song should sound like, it’s a mash of what an algorithm calculates is the most predictable next sound based on its prompt, and it calculates what’s next by illegally using the intellectual properties of real humans.

Whoever used this argument with you isn’t arguing in good faith.

Edit - I didn’t even answer the overarching question. You’ll find, in almost all cases, that it isn’t the same argument because one or more things that factor into the decision will have changed. Very rarely is a situation entirely static, and if some variables have changed, then the entire argument must be reconsidered.

They’re shooting them in the face with birdshot. It’s very small and is much less likely to penetrate into body cavities or break bone, but causes extensive soft tissue damage. This is intended to maim people.

I don’t know about now, but when my parents were in school it was definitely very common. There is still no law against corporal punishment in private schools in the US, and only 33 out of 50 states have laws against it in their public schools.

Yeah, but you’re not anti-book. It’s different if you just don’t have time / energy right now. There are literally millions of people who just…like, don’t believe in it.

Then it wouldn’t be inadvertent anymore, right?

Not cool, dude. There are very few words I self-censor, but that’s absolutely one of them.

33% of high school graduates never read another book again in their lives after graduation.

Let that sink in.

228 million adults in the US, and 75 million of them are committed to never reading.

Sounds a lot like the voting block for a certain orange fascist…

Not your best work. Poorly written and confusing, and you keep referencing the question without actually including it in the post, so that the whole thing has to be inferred by reading your stream-of-consciousness mind vomit.

You can’t successfully troll people if they’re just wondering what the hell you’re talking about, my guy.

Please, do better. Not for us, for you. We believe in you.

Had my head and face shaved in Toulons when the submarine I was on pulled in there.

I don’t remember my barber looking anything like this, though.

Did I get ripped off?

He admitted the emergency exit was locked. When they unlocked it after the fire, there were patrons bodies piled up in front of it.

His negligence absolutely contributed to those people’s deaths.

Inadvertent is an accident. People don’t deserve blame or anger for accidents.

If an enemy hurts you, it’s malicious.
