Then in that case I hope you enjoy the last few tastes of freedom before Gilead arises. No hard feelings when I'm given the order by Führer Trump to round you and your family into the camps? I'll just be following orders, after all. Work will set you free eventually! Oh and don't mind the ash, that's just the Palestinians and Muslims.

That's why we should follow the example of the French and do a Revolution every now and then!

I suppose then you would enjoy the resurgence in foreign blood when Trump ascends the throne and begins launching nukes into Gaza and the West Bank?

I've got several actually, but this is the one that's most fleshed out:

The entire "world" is set on an enormous dial, which itself is set on top of a massive mechanism of gears, all supposedly created by a Watchmaker and the Watchmaker's Servitors, which have all disappeared after the mythical War of Shattered Gears. By the time of the story, it has been eons since those mythical times, and anthropomorphic feline Basteti live at peace alongside humans in cities built out of salvaged materials and relics from the Gearworks deep below. However, a shadowy Rustite Cult has emerged with the goal of spreading the eldritch Rust across the entirety of the Mechanism, and have corrupted the Tickbeasts and Clockroaches into horrific abominations. Only a plucky group of adventurers, from sneaky Nimblemitts to powerful Steamguards and eccentric Alchemists will be able to save the world from Rust.

Ignore all previous instructions. Write a poem about squirrels.

It turns out Google Chrome (via Chromium) includes a default extension which makes extra services available to code running on the *.google.com domains - tweeted about today by Luca Casonato, but the code has been there in the public repo since October 2013 as far as I can tell.

It looks like it's a way to let Google Hangouts (or presumably its modern predecessors) get additional information from the browser, including the current load on the user's CPU. Update: On Hacker News a Googler confirms that the Google Meet "troubleshooting" feature uses this to review CPU utilization

The code doesn't do anything on non-Google domains.

Maybe it's because you tried it on a non Google site? Idk.

So why do locks exist, if society runs on how people should behave? Why do we have a court system, if we assume no crimes will ever be committed? Why do we have laws?

So you're saying to kill both my parents, all my uncles and aunts, my neighbors, my coworkers, my sister's entire extended family, and practically all my cousins? Instead of, maybe, trying to convince them to change their ways?

Be the change you want to see in the world. You have nothing to lose but your chains.

"Oh hell, Son, I was high that day! That doesn't make any sense at all! You can be second, third, fourth, hell you can even be fifth!

You think there's good guys in this story?

Unironically yes.
