That is a horrible answer and I suspect you don't know any more about the law than anyone else here.

The only correct answer to the question is this: "If it isn't illegal, it should be."

Same answer for selling pardons, for spending half the president's time at his own golf resort so he can charge the government to house the secret service there, for accepting lavish gifts from governments and corporations, for trading stocks based on government deals, for making government deals contingent upon business deals with the family, for loaning Pentagon money to the family, for placing spurious tariffs on businesses, for abducting people who have committed no crime and deporting them with no due process, for exporting people to dangerous foreign prisons, for starting wars without Congressional approval, for. . .Jesus fucking Christ do I need to continue?

HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE YOU TO CONTINUE DEFENDING THIS MAN?

Your whole "derp ber derp, It depends blah blah blah" is just an obvious stupid troll way of continuing to defend this moron who you have been defending on this forum for years. You are not being nuanced, you are not being clever. You fell for a wannabe despot and that was an extremely stupid thing for you to do. Continuing to defend him just makes you it obvious how much of an idiot you really are. What level of corruption is necessary for you to admit that you made a mistake?

Yeah, it was definitely Clinton lying about a relationship that set a precedent that allowed the current administration to undertake daily corruption and turn the government into a sort of mafia state. In the past, when presidents said things like, "I am not a crook!", they were totally telling the truth.

I mean, it was extremely consequential, Clinton's lie. It changed everything and many people suffered because of it. He might as well have lied about another country having weapons of mass destruction so he could start a war that would cost thousands of lives and then use that war to enrich his corporate buddies and donors.

Yeah, that Clinton. Real son of a bitch. All our current problems are rooted in him lying about a relationship.

When you get to a certain level of stupid, the stupidity merely comes in different flavors, not degrees.

You don't get to define your political ideology, I DO!

Parent has a good point. Crypto is good for things other than money laundering. It is also good for tax evasion and as a form of gambling.

The stated goal of the EU is not what you are describing. Tech sovereignty is not about purity, it is about independence. That does not mean they will cut off all ties with American tech, it just means that for certain core technologies they do not want to be fully dependent on American firms handling their data.

100% of them are insurrectionists.

If leftists always lose then why does political power so frequently oscillate between liberals and conservatives?

Oh, I see, you are describing the world as you want it to be, not as it is. You have decoupled from reality. Intellectually, that makes you indistinguishable from an idiot or an insane person.

Since when did Donald Trump become the woke left?

Become Redhat? Seems like they are still pursuing that dream, albeit with contributions to the Linux ecosystem that are much less useful.

You are the first person I have seen who actually bought into that line of bullshit. It is probably more accurate to say that /. has no active developers and will just keep rolling with their 25 year old Perl scripts as long as they work.

It might work. I might not. But it is a possible solution to a problem that we have no idea how to fix, and there aren't many other solutions being floated about.

If you think the problem starts and ends with LLMs, then you're fooling yourself. This is about automation, and LLMs are just a part of that. What do we do when we have fully autonomous trucks? Do you know how many people depend on truck driving for a decent income? We're already working on having robots unload those trucks, manage warehouses, etc.

If something can be automated for less than the cost of a human doing it, that thing will be automated. We've known this for a long time, but the panic only began recently because LLMs threatened white collar jobs.

Did you ever ask yourself why you ask stupid questions as a way of trying to defend the most corrupt president in U.S. history?

I'm not sure that you had a point in this garbled nonsense of a post. The only thing you achieved is demonstrating that you're functionally illiterate.

It is creepy as hell how quickly you freaks coalesce around you fallacious talking points.
