Agreed, and furthermore, it shouldn’t matter at all. If the worst Russian Intelligence can do is use real evidence to prove a crime was committed, that’s an easily solvable problem both by not committing crimes and by prosecuting crimes committed with transparent, due process.

It really is a very silly argument.

“Your honor, in my defense, the guy who saw me shoot the victim, called the police, and submitted some of the damning evidence to them was a known mafia member, untrustworthy, and had committed crimes against me in the past.”

“Okay, and what do you have to say about all of this other corroborated evidence from trustworthy sources?”

“Well they wouldn’t have found it if he hadn’t pointed it out!”

I don’t think he was a Russian spy, but I am also sure that it’s irrelevant.

And instead went after Snowden for pointing out the scale of their illegal surveillance, too.

The “Five Eyes” concept has to be the dumbest, most transparent example of the “I’m not touching you” defense to charges of constitution circumvention.

I know this is probably a mundane engineering thing, but it sounds like a ramp up to a Black Mirror episode. We just need some kind of social commentary. Maybe the waste energy secretly contain MacGuff-ons, a known chrono-hazard. Only the poorest people will use it, for lack of alternative?

Wow, I really thought most scissors were practically ambidextrous. What makes them chiral enough to limit usage?

Maybe once.

Don’t be. I’m trademarking it and selling it for next Rolex line.

It’s mostly the same as how you would sixty-nine someone except you unfurl your proboscis first.

Don’t know of this is the sort of thing you’re looking for. It comes with a removable cap for using it as a cane. Beneath the cap is a metal spike, but it’s not sharp. It’s good as an umbrella and is extremely, absurdly, strong. I’ve heard the handle can get kind of gummy if left in the sun, but I haven’t had that problem. Be forewarned that the marketing for it is a self-indulgent cesspool of mall ninja, incel, “alpha male” defensive violence fantasies. It is a good product, though.

Disregard this advice. Delete the gym, hit the lawyer and Facebook up.

I was being sincere. I didn’t realize there’d been a coup that overturned the old bean conventions.

Not strictly on topic, but you should post this on Lemmy Shitpost. They really like beans.

Zuckerberg charges Zuckerberg with crime. Jury shrugs, offers death penalty.

The weirdest thing is that it wouldn’t be the first time a party has sued itself.

Now you’re thinking with portals capitalism.

That makes me wish Weird Al would do something like Spatula City, but with guillotines.

I think that’s a very wise position. It could be testing the waters or even an attempt at setting precedent.

For those who didn’t read, it’s not an enforced cap. It’s a recommendation. This is essentially just a PSA framed as an ordinance.
