This was a clever supply chain attack. I say clever because I don’t think anything like this and at this scale has happened before, but due to it being lethal it’s crazy scary. I’m not condoning it or praising it. As a cybersecurity professional we usually see people infiltrate the supply chain of code to inject their own, not actually putting explosives into communication devices and then using the network to remotely detonate.

Not if you’re a regular here. And by regular, I mean even in the last 24 hours 😊

Edit - they’re even next to each other

Thank you for giving me the first belly laugh of my day. 🤣

Which one? §§€ππ√π or ®°•[||||]¢?

This is a really important point, thank you for raising it!

Thankfully my kids aren’t a/the Lockpicking Lawyer!

When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s my Grandfather who served in WW2 kept guns in several closets and under two beds at least, and I also knew where the ammo was located. I knew to never mess with them but times sure have changed.

Nowadays I lock mine up responsibly and never loaded. I’ve not started giving my kids lessons though, since they’re not even 10 yet. We’ve talked about safety though. I think that education is super important.

I’ve thought about one of those hidey wall shelves but am a bit scared to have anything quick access that they could stumble upon.

Maybe we should keep destroying EPA protections in the name of corporate profits without paying attention. Surely it’s not an issue this generation will ever have to deal with. The idiot new generations can figure it out later. Am I MAGA’ing right?

Holy moly, people seem to really be upset with this bot. I like it because it can call out when someone is doing something shady with their news sources when people like me (that don’t know news sources by heart) read a posting.

We have a lot of repeat users in here that I personally feel (and I could be wrong) that have ulterior motives, like being a foreign actor spreading misinformation, trying to sew division, and lots of other foreign and domestic actors that are obsessed with one thing and throw the baby out with the bathwater (for example people obsessed with Gaza and Israel war just being nasty in general because they’re angry - I’m not saying that scenario is not wrong and fucked, but this bot can help illuminate patterns in their behavior which can help us regular people tag them accordingly as a single issue participant so they are more informed when engaging that person)

My suggestion is to be very careful about crowd-sourcing the rating process. Nearly every post I go into this bot is super negative on its downvotes. Rather than just simply blocking the bot, people are retaliating against something they don’t agree with. You would likely see that translate to your crowd-sourcing rating also at best. At worst you would see bad actors focused on division and misinformation making a fuckery of it all.

I’m not saying don’t include the community, but brainstorm with this potential pitfall in mind.

I like this community, and want to see it continue to be as factually correct and represented fairly, and appreciate the mods and their ongoing challenges with the people that would seek to upset the apple cart at any opportunity.

I think the bot adds value and applaud the honest effort to make improvements.

He IS a great villain

You love to see it, especially later in the summer

Probably wouldn’t matter anyway, narcissists don’t actively listen, lol.

It’s too bad we will never hear about the outcome of this investigation.

Trump’s ear appears to have been miraculously healed, I’m betting he barely got grazed and is on blood thinners, which is why there’s not a visible wound and there was so much blood.

Still, had to be a little terrifying coming that close to being shot. He got lucky yet again.

Plus, you know how stupid many of his supporters are. Someone could churn out deepfake AI videos or audio of him saying things and claim that they came from some recently found cache of discovered media.

Those chucklefucks would eat that shit up and keep buying fake assassination sneakers when that dude has worms eating his asshole underground.

Think about it. A martyr with endless fake AI videos and audio. He will become immortal.

You’re 100% right. The other reply above you is right too - a bullet is far too good for him. I want him to get some finely ground justice.

Doom II really solidified it and it’s been that way ever since.
