I guess shape-shifting is becoming more common as the US doesn't even hide (((who's))) running their government.

I knew it was "Chinese metallurgy" before I clicked.

We need a new slur for our Southern 'neighbors': Apocalypto-stanis.

That "Stablecoin" name ought to be an international felony in its own right. It's a mouse-click away from .gov confiscation.

... and which ISP/domains does that absolutely depend upon? How many .gov or even ". il" addresses are buried in the TOS fine-print?

Not exactly seppuku, but miles better than US officials.

I refuse to engage twitter on my "smartphone" at all.

This realization will feed the "accelerationist, tear it down" view, as in, 'try running your digital Panopticon Blockchain on USB sticks schlepped between bicycle-powered laptops!'.

Enough with the euphemisms; they murdered patients on direction of the government.

They still can't leak a data element or payment-methods you never put into it.

"Effective" at doing what?

Yep: The globohomo consumer 'lifestyle' beamed into every "designated shitting street" in the Global South.

I wonder how those African countries who've already become Chinese work-camps will react.

Today I learned the new (to me) term "shapewear".

Weren't the old-school spacesuits from Playtex or some other "foundation garment" company?

Call me when the barred door slams behind him.

His defense team will get him excused due to the "terribul legacy ob de slabery!"

An uncorrupted 'government' would revoke those banks' charters.

Since the banking and currency systems are a monopoly in the US, and the payment processors unable to operate without .gov permission, the wokisms, "start your own!" and "MuH pRiVaTe CoMpAnY" don't apply.

"Bake the Cake, bigot" does.

Forget your "9", it's time to start packing RPGs.

Good for the Italians: I suppose it's too much to hope for the "Home of the Brave" to emulate Italy's performance.

They're still trolling for internet blow-hards to out themselves by making making stupid "we're-a-gonna..." posts online.

Yoda sez; "Do, or do not: There is no threaten".

Every "Dilbert's Boss" in municipal utility management fell for the "benefits of automation" hype without giving a single thought about what they were throwing away.

The same has applied to telecom and electric power infrastructure. These 19th-Century technologies were some of the most resiliant, in the past. Enemies had to go places and risk their lives to do things in order to inflict damage.

But now, some script-kiddy in Moldova can bring this country to its knees from his mother's basement, and the people who made it that way deserve a wood-chipper ride.

But, but; all I see on the Twit is, "OMG! BIG W, our referendum drove him out!"

Rest assured the rest of the Anglophone (former) nations are spinning up similar tyranny.

I guess I'm dense today, but I don't understand how checking IDs in this context "puts minors at risk".
