spacetoaster posted:"making my wife cry first thing in the morning by sending these heavy-duty lawmen [to] come collect stuff and talk about stolen products and jail time," A lot of people are dumbasses and can't tell the difference. Which is not their fault. Which is also why Wotc sent pinkertons. which makes me feel better about stealing all of their products for the past twenty years. (btw if you want any free WOTC products that aren't shithead cards PM me)

There has been a blurring of the lines between "intellectual property" and actual property, and between enforcement of real laws and fake contract poo poo, and that ain't good for any of us.

There was a recent story about some cops doing just that and the homeowner answered the door with gun in hand. Then the guy's wife returned fire after hubby was swiss-cheesed. Funny how the Pinkertons are never sent after those folks or anyone well-armed, for that matter.

They're about as mult national security conglomerate as you can get. While yes they can actually provide security guards (among other things) having them on your door could mean anything from one polite man in a suit to some APCs crewed by people who aren't in the phone book. Calling the local sherrif is likely to be as helpful as pissing into the wind.

it always makes me laugh that the literal Anti-Pinkerton Act of 1893 which had the company in both the title and text of the bill didn't even slow it down, nor has the bill actually stopped the US Government from employing private mercenaries in general.

Might makes right so holding onto a high horse regardless of how morally correct you believe yourself to be in the face of an army, private or not, is simply a principled suicide ticket. Give the nice men at your door (lets call them the pointy end of the spear in this case) the dumb gaming whatsit they came for. In return you get to live. It's a very fair and equitable exchange.

Bar Ran Dun posted:back before the asteroid theory won out there was a competing explanation that was basically along the lines of the more specialized and sophisticated and interconnected the niches evolved into were, the more likely they were to die off in a mass extinction. that’s also the good health ecosystem you want though. can you elaborate a bit on what problems niches not going away after a mass extinction poses for this view? what is an example of the solution sets that arise from it you mean? I understand what you're saying, but I think I don't grasp your meaning.

Pinkertons get away with it usually because they have a close relationship with cops in the first place and can terrorize the population at will.Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:A lot of people are dumbasses and can't tell the difference.

Also gently caress Nintendo as well for the Boswer thing, I have no problem with anything modding their Switch/using emulators. quote:nadian hacker Gary Bowser has agreed to pay $10 million to settle a Nintendo lawsuit against him over piracy charges. Bowser is a member of the Team Xecuter group that have created mod chips or jailbroken the Nintendo Switch, 3DS, NES Classic Edition, and other consoles.

AvesPKS posted:The only time I've ever seen a part of a Kardashians show, Kim was talking about hiring someone to hack the voicemail of a person she didn't like, and I was thinking, didn't that bring down a British newspaper? How is that not illegal? And she was openly discussing it. I think about that from time to time. the story seems to be that in the late 90s someone accidentally found out that hardly anyone changed the default pin to access voicemails and showed off this “trick” to one of the british tabloids for a story, which was mysteriously spiked just before publication and the guy was persona non grata amongst all the newspapers soon after 20 years later phone hacking was so normalised that they hacked the phone of a murdered child and kept deleting the messages as the voice mail box kept being filled up by the desperate parents leaving messages, getting in the way of any celebrities leaving messages they could write about , and the cops/family thinking she was still alive murdoch has already spent more than $500 million on settlements

this has been a frequent refrain throughout the hiking cycleJerome H. Powell posted:While higher interest rates, slower growth, and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses. These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.
