Whatever it is, it’s not whataboutism when it involves the same exact war and what instigated it. That applies directly to the question of why the US got involved.

It could be a liability thing though. An organization that sells expired product might be in for bigger judgements if something does happen.

That’s a money saver vs. “donated” or “sold at discount”.

Food banks that I’m familiar with won’t distribute expired food because it’s a liability. Of course there is a big difference between “expired” salt and meat, but it’s safer for them to have a blanket policy than count on the workers’ judgement.

But at least it doesn’t have any chemicals. /s

It’s not often that the most privacy conscious choice is also the most reliable, easy to use, and flexible option for something, but Home Assistant checks all the boxes.

Best I ever managed was two.

On a completely different subject, have you seen those dragon drones being used in Ukraine? Just a cheap drone and a little thermite does soo much damage it’s insane.

‘This must be Thursday,’ said Arthur to himself, sinking low over his beer. ‘I never could get the hang of Thursdays.’

That’s not a new war. It’s the war behind all the other wars.

Just read the whole thread again. No guilt trips, or anything that could be interpreted as guilt trips. Nothing even close really. Persecution complex much?

If you say so. My strategy has gotten a hell of a lot closer to hurting the establishment than any of yours though.

Did you see me guilt trip anyone? I’m just mocking your unbelievably self-unaware rant attacking people who did vote for a candidate that had a chance. I don’t do guilt trips, but stupid is as stupid does.

Than other third parties… Exactly what percentage of elected offices in the US are held by third parties?

Keep working on that third party strategy. It sure worked for you guys this past election… And in 2016… and in every other damn year.

Nah bro

Um sure? As long as she is up for it. I love her, I don’t own her. Keep it safe, sane, and consensual, then who am I to argue.

It’s also not as easy to hack electronic systems anymore. It’s not that they are invulnerable, but the vulnerabilities are generally more complicated and difficult to exploit. Setting aside people still running Windows XP or something, vulnerabilities get patched pretty quickly today. State actors have the time and resources to still do straight up electronic hacking, but opportunities for individuals are sparse.

Of course there is still the human element. Most data breaches done by individuals nowadays rely, at least in part, on social engineering.

They are done by medical professionals who have no obligation or incentive to serve the best interests of the patient. If your doctor fucks up, he can be found liable. If the insurance doctor fucks up, there is no liability whatsoever. Cases have been brought to court and then immediately thrown out because there is no legal basis for holding them accountable.

Um, really? Darwinism is now the dividing line between right wing and liberal? Hitler was a liberal? Are you unaware of how Nazi propaganda equated Jews with wealthy bankers and merchants to harness class resentment?

I’m not saying he is Hitler, but your bar for right wing is pretty damning of the American educational system.

It’s an amazingly accurate stereotype that right wingers change their opinion on an issue the moment it impacts them. I’m sure you’re on track with his motive, but that doesn’t make him a liberal.
