Please don't preach down to people on the internet as an attempt to control others who disagree with you. - Rule 0

Yes and no. Internet "lawyers" will make arguments about how it must be or not be the case. Instead, a group of people together is more like a dynamic living organism that morphs into subsequent zeitgeists. There maybe apolitical structural/demographic reasons, circumstances, and/or infectious ideas that lead to major changes. Some are root causes and some are merely reflections.

Or in this case, a memetic infection on top of sliding value changes (polarity, illiberalism, aggressive patriotism) changing the underlying values causing various symptoms. A country is a collection of people who share some iota of proximity, values, and/or views, although "Network Staters" and "Free Staters" would have you believe differently.

NRC, are you know, just unnecessary, bureaucratic red-tape. The guy down the way with a truck in Times Beach said he'd remove it cheap.

Hide the ability of consumers to make informed choices.

Meanwhile, logging old growth forests, drilling more oil, scoffing at renewables and EVs, and building power-hungry data centers for marginal-utility AI owned by a handful of billionaires. Flu vaccines are in doubt, the chaos and riots will begin around June/July when the shelves are empty and prices double.

Intelligence isn't a respectable quality in the face of illegal (allegedly), unethical, and/or immoral behavior.

Kissinger shared culpability for what happened in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.

Rice shares culpability for what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Hegseth may still participate in war crimes regardless of being a dim bulb. One can only hope his disability makes him less effective in causing harm deliberately, but he still may cause great harm inadvertently as well.

America needs to acknowledge that it has a multitiered system of selective criminal prosecution where some people get away with crimes because of who they are.

Yes and no.

No, not for classified comms. They already have secure comms and SCIFs but they're not using them. This is what they should be using. And they should be following sterile opsec so they don't carry tracking and listening devices into classified meetings or strategy discussions with decision makers.

They do need better opsec for unclassified and personal comms. It would be nice™ for them to have a Signal-like app controlled by the NSA because depending on Signal or WhatsApp is vulnerable to a malicious insider. Few Meta employees have security clearances, while I don't know about Signal.

This. Session does desktop and mobile cheerfully without leaving metadata enabling government real-time location tracking.

Most dating apps exist to milk socially-unsuccessful people for as long as possible as a simulacrum for developing friends and social skills. These are instead a logical business model extension of technofeudalism mediation and commodification of all aspects of life with pay-to-play technological intermediaries. If any of the social media or dating apps were honest and prosocial ventures (orthogonal to profits), they'd instead focus on social skills improvements, positive social leadership/initiative, connecting people, and being secondary to encouraging expediency, reckless behavior, outrage exploitation, and superficial interactions simply because it counted as engagement and ad impressions. Community and reconnecting people would be the "killer app" that would make dating apps more/less pointless except for flings.

> I like the idea of scientist-run dating apps,

Sounds like eugenics.

Read the RFCP. ArtIII judges can absolutely empower people other than USMS to carry out legal orders such as service of process and enforcement of contempt orders.
