Because the kind of brain that thinks "I deserve all this money" is broken, and not even close to resembling the brain that thinks "I should use the extra money I have to help others"

The two things are incompatible. Shit, I wouldn't even feel comfortable showing my face to employees who don't earn close to what I take. I'd be too ashamed that I'm essentially stealing from them since I'm not doing to work of 20 people (let alone 150,000) by myself.

The brain that doesn't have that shame doesn't even think about others, unless it's in the context of "how can I exploit this"

As an American in my 30s...

Just don't trust anything the US says, period.

Who knows if our 4-year mood/tantrum cycle will honor the deal in 15 years, let alone 5.

Of course teleporters make a copy of the original.

Unless there's a malfunction in the dilithium encabulator matrix, then it would make you some sort of vacant, soulless husk that traps people in pattern buffers for fun in order to try and feel something after multiple lifetimes of torture and pain....

That never happens though.

This keeps getting shared on the fediverse, it's literally just spreading misinformation.

And as former enlisted, I stand by my belief that ANY MILITARY PERSONNEL who obey treasonous orders ARE GUILTY OF TREASON and should be tried accordingly.

You have a DUTY to disobey unlawful or immoral orders, and report those who issue them.

Unfortunately, in practice today that means "intimidate and maybe shoot some Americans on American soil or spend the rest of your life in a military prison"

But would you rather be able to say "I shot 15 men women and children defending the president from embarrassment" or "neonazis put me in prison because I wouldn't be a neonazi with them"?

I mean, that thing is working so hard it turned the entire surrounding countryside into desert!

Moving countries to provide a better life for your progeny will do that.

I genuinely think the author just put those two together because they knew everyone was expecting Harr-mione to happen. Tried to subvert expectations.

Tldr people try to game image recognition, word filters, etc to increase visibility of their post on social media. It works.

People are slaves to the algorithm, even if they claim to not care. If you alter your post to increase visibility, you are playing by it's rules.

By censoring even potentially blockable words, not only are they improving the odds it will go to a wider audience, they get people to comment "why is that word censored/why is there a random dot/erase spot?" which drives up engagement stats, thus sending it to even more people.

.... Antarctica doesn't seem to have much in the way of law enforcement, so they likely wouldn't deport him back to us.

Could we Try there?

And surely such reparations would take into account future lost revenue, as they would be expected to it this were a regular person against a corporation.

Surely.
