That makes too much sense. We should expect all governments of the world to completely change how they have operated throughout history so we can post nonsense with impunity. That …

CIRCLEJERK IS ACTION

Wikileaks is using him as a meat puppet and now he is totally fucked, whatever shred of credibility he had is lost by praising Russia for their dedication to human rights. I suppos…

What if they had vague powerpoint slides?

Shortlist? That would be a very, very long list. So long in fact as to be totally useless. There is a cure for Internet paranoia. Fresh air and sunshine.

Which country would that be?

Is it inconceivable that crime is lower due to more police on the streets and more criminals in jail?

>Sure but then Netflix and Universal stealing translated subtitles from these "pirates" and including it on their commercial content is also piracy. Umm, no. It may be unethical bu…

MIT's radio show French Toast has been playing other tracks from the album, not as edgy as their older stuff but quite good. Get Lucky is catchy but a little repetitive.

It may be easier to make a list of countries that don't do mass surveillance. Are there any?

This made me think of a court case a few years back. The defendant was arrested for shooting a potato cannon (PVC pipe, BBQ grill lighter and hairspray for propellant). When the ch…

Feel free to petition your government to close them. It is your country is it not? Unfortunately even downsizing is met with local resistance due to job losses. There is no real re…
