On that, we are in complete agreement. We will do whatever it takes if it’s feasible and the admin actually wants the person back.

Pretending any nuclear nation couldn’t get one man (or his corpse) back from a Central American prison is a farce.

There are literally photos of delta guys in skate helmets doing this during Operation Acid Gambit.

And the United States won in Vietnam.

Clearly drawn is hard to prosecute (and one might argue shouldn’t be prosecuted, since obscenity laws are just… weird). However, the stuff that is photorealistic can be treated, legally, like the real thing.

Fun fact it’s already illegal. If it’s indistinguishable from the real thing it’s a crime.

There’s mixed evidence of whether or not mass shootings have a contagion effect, that people who are already “primed” see this shit on tv and decide that today’s the day.

Or it could just be chance.

But maybe, here’s an idea, we don’t let people who make terroristic threats have guns. I don’t care about what kind of gun, if you credibly threaten to murder a bunch of people, no gun for you.

A lot of work you could do on a car yourself prior to 2018 is now impossible because everything in the car has sensors that talk to the on board computer. Replacing a side mirror should not involved sensor hookups.

The punishment is known. Feed him to Zizek.

Well, now my day is ruined. Although I guess this means French Guyana probably still counts.

Maybe we’ll have a nice Article 5 party this time.
