Especially since, consider this: all the creeps have to do is _not_ give their information and they'll be restricted to the "teen-friendly" portions of Discord, exactly the portions they want to have access to.
The fun part about this is that it does literally nothing to protect teens or kids. None of these steps EVER consider providing people with resourceful tips of danger signs 'disengage' or 'report' etc. Fucking morons. Creeps have been on kid's sites since Neopets in the 90s FUCK OFF WITH THIS SHIT.
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month - all accounts set to "teen-appropriate experience" by default www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

When talking about the Epstein files and the perverts who patronized him, don't mince words. Pervert is the correct word for them. Also child molester, creep, twisted son-of-a-bitch and the like. Remember the traction Tim Walz got calling the MAGAheads what they were: weirdos.

I find it funny that the Japanese LDP is considered a conservative party. This may be an artifact of how "conservative" is defined in the US vs. elsewhere since the majority of the LDP's platform positions mirror those of Democrats and progressives here in the US.

Were I the judge, my first questions to the DOJ would be "Define his exact status in relation to the military." and "What, if any, terms of his enlistment contract has he not fulfilled or otherwise entitle you to consider him to be currently in military service?".

This is the famous quote, but I prefer the one from just before: "You see, I have money and property. If I don't defend the interests of the underprivileged, somebody else will—maybe somebody without any money or any property. And that would be too bad." Somebody remembers the French Revolution!
"You're right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars *next* year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I'll have to close this place in... sixty years."

Ep 301 of Leverage Redemption S3 had a villa in France full of evil billionaires colluding to pillage trillions in public goods who were keeping a small town activist in the basement until they could execute her led by a guy who admired Putin, and we did not, in fact, go hard enough. Apologies.

WTB for FFXIV: move the Crystal Tower alliance raids to the MSQ roulette. Currently it's running about 50/50 between the CT raids and everything else, and after a while that gets really boring.

Toothless virtue signalling? Not if Seattle PD DOES THEIR FUCKING JOB and follows the instructions they've been given by their superiors. SPD works for the city and the public, not the other way around. Wanna be armed thugs? Go work for ICE.

I notice in the Epstein releases that the DOJ has spent a lot of time redacting the identities of the perpetrators (something they were expressly forbidden from doing) and little time on the identities of the victims.

I think it's simpler than leadership looking ahead. Face it, they don't look beyond the next quarter. No, the layoffs are all about stock price. They make the numbers look better, which makes the stock price go up.

I usually go around, it's rude to just barrel through people. Exceptions for places where it's too crowded to find a path (aetherytes).
Cause I was just taking notice of what I did, I'm tossing out a #wolqotd for the players
When you're running around and gotta pass a group of players to get to your destination, do you just bulldoze through or do you go around? Do you see it as a roleplay thing or just game etiquette?

There IS a way back for the MAGA folk: change their ways. Change and show they've changed in how they behave, what they say, over time. That's always been an option for them. They just don't want to do it. They want the easy out of the Confessional: mouth the right words, say a few Hail Marys,...
I said what I said about the silly people who say, "But there has to be a path back for MAGA folk!🤡" There has always been a path back. It's never been an issue at all. Many anti-MAGA folk spent some part of their life on the hateful side.
But the path back involves repair. Undoing harm. Like this.

Agreed. I write complex enterprise software for a living, have for 35+ years, and no way does a system crash delete data like that. You lose data that's being processed at the moment, not data that's already been written out to storage and certainly not data that was stored 2 weeks ago.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
