He's from Chicago, so he's more of a pie pope

I don't care if it's true, I'm pushing this line

The subhead says 66% sympathize with Palestinians, so I think the headline is just flat out wrong

If it's in America you're basically good because there essentially no law against it and at worst you'll get a fine.

This is insane, passive detection is a death sentence for stealth aircraft because they can't get prior warning they've been detected and can't tell where they were detected from.

If this is viable Musk may have just single handedly prevented the US from having air superiority. Will be wild to see this start being used by smaller countries since it seems like the startup costs aren't that great thanks to Musk already doing the expense part.

Even Google maps has a genocide warning using the same toast blurb they use for national holidays

Maybe? The current Iranian government is nationalist and anti imperalist, but I can see how many people would be against it in ways. Venezuela has a good government, but there's still the issue of corruption and economic turmoil.

Cuba is a rare example of a South American state having such a thorough and all encompassing revolution that basically the entirely of the population was on the side of the revolutionaries.

That being said, this data is definitely biased heavily and even with the bias it still shows a clear picture of the socialist nations having significantly higher popular support than the capitalist ones.

It's not like openly confirmed, but he died in a solo traffic accident where his car rapidly accelerated into a tree.

The surface story is that he was doing meth or something, but 2013 is around the time that they started being able to digitally control accelerators through wireless connections, so it's not impossible that he was just one of the first they tested it on.

His reporting was highly critical of the Alphabet agencies and the surveillance state. Even got a general to step down after his reporting, so he was definitely not liked by the apparatus.

They are disgusting and vile and they should all be loved and cherished for killing all the actually terrible things in your home.

Yeah, seems like a lot of absents. They usually show those though, wonder why they didn't this time...

And specifically, inventing demand by removing alternatives. Like with IoT devices. They invent demand by removing alternative designs, raise the price because it's premium, then use those devices to spy on your and sell data to create a sort of rent based model where you pay with your privacy.

Alternatively they just refuse to even sell you the IoT device and force you to rent it from them.

I prefer the similar plot of Farscape, but instead of space confederates being the protagonists, it's a bunch of minority alien convicts fighting a colonial empire and instigating revolution. Which is really just the plot of basically every space thing since Star Wars.
