  • Honestly, if I’m the defense, this has gotta be awesome, right? Now, I’m not a lawyer, but I have watched Boston Legal twice, so that’s basically the same thing, and what I’m hearing is these people want to get up on the stand and show the jury a video which either:

    A) to the particularly inattentive, shows the victim clearly alive, or

    B) demonstrates that even video evidence can be completely fabricated from whole cloth, and the opposition is more than capable of doing so to serve their own interests

    Barring the staggeringly unlikely event that the defendant goes full-on Perry Mason Perp and outright says “hey, sorry I killed you, man” to the hologram, this seems like a pretty sweet deal.


  • nah, see, you got

    1. self-aggrandizing unelected bureaucrat
    2. intentionally sabotaging government programs to make his own vanity project look better
    3. blind obsession with deeply-flawed and barely-functional technological monstrosity
    4. claims sole credit for his program’s achievements despite, at best, hiring the guy that hired the guy that hired the guy to build the schematic that some other guy gave him
    5. definitely blackmailing his boss
    6. barely committed to his administration’s political agenda beyond whatever inflates his own ego
    7. nazi cosplay
    8. not a real face

    dude’s not Vader, he’s Tarkin. Vance is the moody teenager from bumfuck nowhere who suddenly started sucking the spiteful old warlock’s dick despite years of going on about how much he hates his whole deal, likely screwing over his wife in the process, making him Vader. and I guess Obi-Wan is Pope Francis because Vance definitely killed him.
















  • I experienced this on my instance on just regular desktop browsing for a while, so I don’t think it’s necessarily an issue with your client; it did eventually just go away on its own (somewhere around the time the instance backend updated, I’m sure), but I also found that switching on “show hidden posts” fixed it as well, and since I don’t really have any hidden posts it didn’t make much difference. Downside was I had to do that manually every time, but it did at least get me to the second page.
