It's not binary: we're not limited to one action or another. We can both fix our government's adherence to the Constitution, *and* inform people about jury nullification. It's like carrying tools in your toolbox: your box likely has room for plenty of tools.

So, in your world, "No" doesn't mean no?

Tell me: have you ever been accused of rape? Do women curiously shy away from you?

You're missing a key element: consent. At fundraisers, the participants know what's coming and opt-in; ground rules are established so it *is* fun and light-hearted. According to TFS, the plaintiff wasn't informed of this practice before joining the group, and clearly didn't consent. And it's not light-hearted: how hard are you getting whacked in the face? Did he get foreign material shoved up his sinuses? Did it cause physical harm, like a black eye? Are you wearing nice clothes, which will surely be ruined by pie filling?

Honestly, I don't know wtf is wrong with some slash dotters. You're not as smart as I'd expect.

So, as rough metaphor in the chip world, would DMA transfer be somewhat equivalent? You provide some parameters, tell it "Go!" and it takes care of it in the background. Are there are other on-chip functions that we could "cerebellum-ize"? Even better, dynamically? So once a chip recognizes that, "This is how we do task A," it can just, in real time, rewire its circuits like FPGA, and create a new function.

Man, debugging stuff like that would be a bitch.

Additionally, don't these fkrs have anything else to do? I can't imagine going into a weekly status meeting, and reporting, "Yeah, boss, I didn't get any of my checklist items done because I was busy using company resources to harass this couple who said some mean things about us in an e-newsletter." Dafuq?

If executives have so little actual responsibility, why do we need them?

If I had to guess, they're concerned about finances in retirement. As well they should be: society isn't going to care for us after it's used us.

But retirement, itself, isn't so bad. I find that my focus is less disciplined: stuff gets done, but not with the same sense of purpose, so three things that should take two days stretch out to a week. But it's not like I have quarterly targets to hit, so if I don't reach my goals, there are no immediate consequences.

Avoid Parkinson's resulting from road noise by being deaf. Of course, I could get Parkinson's from some other vector, but not road noise!

Oh, almost forgot: you insensitive clods!

It's called "enshitification," and it happens to the best of 'em. Companies start off meaning well; grow in size to acquire an MBA or two, and those parasites infect the very fibers of the company to corrupt the once-well meaning culture of the original startup. And then it's all downhill from there.

It's not just the administration: it's an entire political party. The Republicans are corrupt to the core, and unhesitatingly support a reckless leader like Trump. If Republicans weren't absolutely feckless, we might have some actual checks and balances, to maintain a minimally functional system.

The pols don't think Obama did any of the stuff they say he did: they just make the claim, and the stupids that follow them do the rest. The stupids are the wind beneath the corrupt wings of the Republicans.

"Benefits"? You mean rapidly becoming a fascist hellhole where government thugs can kill you with impunity if they feel like it? Where health care costs through the nose, and provides little, to the point where people die in debt from diseases that are affordably treated elsewhere? Where the air and water are up for pollution to the highest bidder? Where you can straight up bribe the president to get legislation you want? Son, you've got a bad case of rose-colored xenophobia. Is America *all bad*? No. But it can be - and damned well should be - better. And that's the worst part: so many people who should fkn know better - American exceptionalism, right? - vote for the worst possible candidate because Trump makes brown people suffer. None of the maladies I describe, above, actually *had to* happen: we voted to make it happen.

I don't want to live in Sudan. I also don't want my country becoming another Sudan because of destructive policies driven by bigotry. And willful ignorance, in your case.

Do you have a written summary of parts, schematics, etc, so someone else can follow - or at least investigate - your approach?

Respected? If the US were a person, we'd be the menacing nutter walking down the street, shouting unintelligible gibberish, while swinging a big stick at anything that moves. You'd pull your kids inside the house for safety until we walked past. You might call the cops, but they'd say, "Sorry, we can't help you with that. Just try not to catch his attention." We've lost almost all sensibility; there's certainly nothing to respect.

Plus, there's the accessibility aspect: not all of us can hear. This device would be useless to me, even if I wanted one.

I thought it was because they were dead; or they're gumming their pudding in the old age home. I mean, a 4 digit dude has to be hella old, and there aren't a lot of them in the first place (9000 to be exact).

Either that, or they forgot their logins / passwords.
