If you run always-on cameras in thousands of teenage bedrooms, you will get child porn.

wiretapping which I think is the highest possible charge

Wouldn't the highest charge be all that child pornography they intentionally created?

One time I posted a meme on Blahaj in which someone named [email protected] was attacking a trans person. Ada sent me a message about it saying I was attacking a real trans person. There is no real trans person named Obvious_Troll. I made up that username for the meme. Ada defended a fictional transphobic troll, because they were from Hexbear.

Ada from Lemmy Blahaj Zone is quite infamous for the bad takes and arbitrary bans

Satan's Maggoty Cum Fart always gets a laugh from me

Your empathy for women is impaired by a false assumption. You imagine that you can simply put yourself in the same position with the appropriate change in roles and understand how a woman should feel in that situation. But you're wrong. You're ignoring how a lifetime of oppression creates a context that changes a person's interpretation of a situation. You can't just imagine the situation being reversed, you have to imagine an entire life being reversed.

Only a filthy Star Wars nerd would want to use hyperdrive!

/uj Star Wars has some good and interesting themes, and none of it has to do with FTL technology. If you want a superior version of the same technology with more depth and dramatic implications, look at Halo. If you want what George Lucas was trying and failing to plagiarise, look at Dune. If you want to arbitrarily move around at whatever speed the plot demands or instantly, look at Stargate. And if you want a military fantasy, look at Star Trek. Hyperdrive is an inferior compromise between all four of these better written FTL techs that fails to execute any one idea well. Which is perfectly fine, because Star Wars isn't about hyperdrive. It's about taoist/buddhist philosophy, political commentary on fascism, and the power of individuals in the face of overwhelming systems and impossible odds. None of that has anything to do with how fast a ship moves, the hyperdrive is just a plot device that lets us skip the boring stuff and have more of the stuff Star Wars is actually good at.

The little one is impulse power, the big one is warp speed. Press both for Stargate.
