Inb4 Pam Bondi gets thrown under the bus
She’s stupid and obedient enough to survive longer than most. But how many people who were close to Trump 2 years ago are still anywhere in his orbit now? You either leave voluntarily, or you get thrown to the Sarlacc whenever it serves the convenience of the day.
Most of the people who died in Germany’s camps weren’t killed “on purpose.” They simply couldn’t survive the conditions, and died of disease, malnutrition, cold, and so on. This is a feature. Explicit killing “on purpose” is just the backup option if things aren’t moving quickly enough.
Your “friend”, huh
Stop acting in ways that violate the social contract and stuff like this will stop happening to you. I have no idea, but I strongly suspect that it’s exactly what it looks like: You’re blocked wholesale from the instances in question in some way which doesn’t show in the modlog.
I don’t even really know how to trace back through all the hall-of-mirrors of what original behavior led to what drama led to what sanctions led to what further drama. Regardless, step 1 is to just openly ask, hey what behavior should I be doing, what should I not be doing. And then just go from there and cooperate with the other people on the network to do the first and not the second. Lemmy is pretty frickin lenient with anyone who is willing on some level to engage with that whole process openly.

There are lots of wikis for specific domains, what are you looking to write a guide for?
a bench warrant was issued for Sullivan.
There you go. Go after the little people. Put them in prison. They’re committing crimes, kidnapping and battery among others. Tackle them and put cuffs on them. Let their defense team explain how they were acting under legal authority, what statutes were involved, where their warrant was.
I understand that things have gone insane on the federal level, but they’re still committing crimes in municipal places.
In a perfect world, we could impeach Trump for causing these things to happen, but it’s still absolutely possible to interfere with the actual people who are committing crimes in order to implement the stuff.
Why would Adam Back work against the goal of creating a digital currency? Presumably, he had some sort of reason why he thought it would be better to do it the one way instead of the other way. Maybe in hindsight his logic was just wrong.
I have no idea of the technical details involved, maybe what you’re saying does make sense. But your argument makes equal sense, to me, when applied to say that Adam Back couldn’t possibly have taken that stance, as it does applied to say that Satoshi couldn’t have taken that stance. I’m not convinced. I have no idea if the thing is true or not, but it seems pretty plausible to me, and the “debunking” does not at all.
That’s the weakest sauce “debunking” I’ve ever seen.
It’s been a while, but as I remember the arguments they give are:
Is that ironclad? Certainly not. It is however a lot more convincing than “why would someone with a lot of money care whether the value of their money went UP or DOWN if they already had a lot? Checkmate”.
How did they debunk the claim that it might be Adam Back? Have a link?
I wasn’t expecting “pretending the guy that the feds disappeared had never existed” to appear on the bingo card quite this soon.
Some people were lecturing me just a few days ago about how we shouldn’t freak out and exaggerate and say that someone had been “disappeared” just because they were in ICE custody without any charges being filed and no one knew where they were for a few days. They might have had a point or they might not. But… maybe there are some details I’m not aware of, but on first hearing, this really does sound like they just disappeared this person in the full literal historical sense. And the university is going along with it.
The dude is gone. No one knows where he is.
Plus, there should be public records related to some of this stuff. I don’t actually know how it works if someone’s presenting a FISA warrant or something for a search of a physical location, but even in that case, I think the woman or her lawyer would at least be able to give a brief statement to the press explaining what they can and can’t talk about.
But definitely for the arrest of the dude itself, there should be a public record and a warrant signed by a judge. If he was arrested by the normal federal-court-inclusive-of procedure.
Plus, why is his employer pretending he never existed? That seems like a whole new chapter in this whole unfolding nightmare that we are progressively entering into.
Okay lol so you literally have no idea who Adam Back is or what’s in the video or why it might or might not be credible. That’s what I am taking away from this.
I thought you might have some sort of real reason why the arguments might not be solid or something. Never mind, have a good day.
The modern FBI is not interested in counterespionage.
I mean technically it is possible that this is some leftover of their operation before they joined up with America’s adversaries, but usually for counterespionage they would explain what’s going on instead of just disappearing the suspect. This seems potentially much more dark than that.
It’s probably Adam Back.
This has been happening for years to Hispanic people, and much worse.
I’m glad y’all in the news are upset that it’s happening to white people from rich countries (“tourists”! The horror) now. But you missed the point, if that is why you are upset.
Oh yeah, that side of it made perfect sense to me, like I said.
What the commenter was saying was a little bit different though. They said they, as a Canadian, were upset with the heinous nature of the Democratic party, and then they were sick of obnoxious Americans coming to their town and trying to defend the Democrats. And, also, there’s a housing crisis, and immigrants are making it worse.
If they’d said what you said, I would have been far less suspicious about what they were saying. They did switch after the fact to saying that they were sick of Americans who were using being Democrats as a shield against criticism of their country, which again makes good sense to me.
I thought about mounting a disagreement with the believability of this. Not about the obnoxious Americans – that I can wholeheartedly believe – but about your primary complaint being that the Democrats “have done some heinous shit” and then Americans come up to your town and what they want to talk about is defending Democrats. That is weird and makes no sense (not to mention the super smooth way of bringing up the housing crisis and blaming it on immigrants, I guess?).
But then I saw the rate of downvotes and said, oh, I’m not the only one who thinks this whole story is bizarre. Got it.
Seriously. “Esprit de corps”? Where the hell did he get that from? He blamed everything on Biden and it didn’t make any sense, but that’s not anything new, that’s what won him the election.
