The segment goes on a bit longer. He doesn't make a point against e2ee (he's very anti-surveillance in general) and I think pedo is just a general insult in this case. He thinks it's irrelevant do-gooder shit. Which tracks for someone who measures relevance largely via his Twitter feed.

This a solved problem. The solution is called the electric screwdriver. If you want one as a prosthetic, go for it.

Hey, Niue will have you know that they are merely in free association with New Zealand and had their independence in foreign relations recognized by the UN.

Niue, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, Tokelau, and American Samoa for starters.

PS: admittedly, some of those are dependent territorries

Didn't know the author, apparently she's your average televangelist type.

Wikipedia:

Meyer, who owns several homes and travels in a private jet, has been criticized for living an excessive lifestyle. She does not defend her spending habits, saying "there's no need for us to apologize for being blessed." Meyer commented, "You can be a businessman here in St. Louis, and people think the more you have, the more wonderful it is ... but if you're a preacher, then all of a sudden it becomes a problem."

I'm not gonna fault an american for an opinion like that, but if you're involved with european leftists who are too busy virtue signalling to adopt any pragmatic defense policy positions, you get a real appreciation for the nuance.

I agree. We should uphold the social convention that observing human poop is generally an opt-in experience.

The best time to give up on a stupid idea was before you started.

The second best time is now!

Pointer against AI is that Trump is lower resolution than the rest of the pic. Like a far away news camera vs. a high res movie camera.

My guy, have you been made aware that there were methods for image manipulation around before AI, that could let you combine parts of different pictures into one picture?
