Much of the articles about this event seem to blur the faces of those bastards; here is the uncensored pic.

The things that pop into your head sometimes are weird. I remembered out of the blue a youtube video I saw like 10 years ago. Specifically this one.

Also I just noticed that one of the guy is the actor playing the waiter (along with at least one other role) on it's always sunny.

It's OK though, they offered their top moderators an offer to participate in the IPO and also sent them goodies and snacks, what more do you want ?

you will eventually get a polygraph as well

Might as well do a crystal ball or tarot reading, it's about as useful and at least the aesthetics are nicer

Now you're just using buzzwords and thought-terminating clichés. Really bizarre frankly

Going through your history a lot of your comments match that emoji, by the way

"Randomly" lmao

"peace time" lmao

More like in the middle of having their land stolen, their people dying and kept under poverty for decades, and the few that resist getting killed, tortured and worse, all with the benediction - or at best lip-service against it - of the West

"Israel" is a colonialist racist project that will be destroyed

idf-cool

With the state of Javascript being what it is, you probably can chain syllables randomly and have a fair chance of the resulting word being the name of a temporarily-existing framework

Can I have a Turing test ?

We have Turing tests at home !

There was that PDF "hate online" report from a private company that mentioned hexbear a few years back - specifically referencing the fact that the hexbear admins had disabled part of the comments history (this was during the fork), and as such that they'd had limited data to go through as a result.

No idea; it's a wild guess anyhow; everyone with both nuclear weapons and space launch systems has been capable of this for decades (yet never has, apparently).

Why wouldn’t they just use a conventional missile? Lmao

Very high altitude nuclear weapons are incredibly damaging to both satellites and electronic systems on the ground in a potentially very large area. See the Starfish Prime test, and its impact on what were at the time rare satellites in orbit (it disabled six of them entirely - a significant portion of what was in orbit at the time); I quote the article:

Starfish Prime caused an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that was far larger than expected, so much larger that it drove much of the instrumentation off scale, causing great difficulty in getting accurate measurements. The Starfish Prime electromagnetic pulse also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 900 miles (1,450 km) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights

If it's confirmed, it might be less about directly targeting satellites and rather about exploiting such an effect like that.
