Well, now is the time it would be most expensive!

If I were getting colder maybe they'd think about it.

It may be he's just bluffing to keep Netenyahu out of the city.

It's not a good look for Mamdani to let him in the city while doing nothing about it (or even being forced to provide security for him), but actually arresting him might cause a small civil war.

Done. Thank you.

Ah hell. My only pair of sunglasses is a 5 year old pair of raybans.

I'd better not get "pervert glasses" shouted at me.

Yeah but the UK has been notably more censorious/orwellian since Brexit, so it's a weak comparison.

(Not that they've got many strong comparisons on their side)

How long until they say "people are using E2E to get around this. We need to ban/include E2E now"?

"E2E is just for pedos" incoming.

What would happen if you ran them all?

Blown fuse or just all of them ran like crap/stuttery?

Card holder on your phone case, i guess

Or one of those tiny things that are basically a wallet buy hold like 2-3 cards.

Why do you think they're so interested in AI powered robot dogs?

Obviously they have their own weaknesses but it's going to help prevent human-level coups.

Also psych AI to watch facial movements to check for disloyalty, (presumably at some point).

Honestly it seems like investigating it now would be wasteful.

it's just harder to reinvestigate when the government won't move heaven and earth to protect (and pardon) the perpetrators.

Better to wait for a less corrupt legal infrastructure in a few years (or even after midterms).

They'll probably appeal and do bullshit to negotiate it down and defer the payment.

So, a consequence, but one absolutely built into the budget of the things they're being fined for.

Edit: oh wait i misread. This is actually something they already appealed and negotiated down already. The original judgement was years ago.

The casino thing I've had explained to me (not by someone who was making excuses for Trump).

I can't remember the detail hut basically it was some massive scam by Trump.

Probably to get out of taxes or dodge a debt or something. Or just to defraud someone.

But it does seem like it was done deliberately. The guy is a fraudster at heart.
