The Great Twist

Previous censuses were just demographic data and nothing specifically tying information to a single person was maintained. This one is recording specific information about individuals including their full legal name, and last I checked they were being stored in plaintext on their servers.

Also they just claimed that their servers are unhackable which basically means every hacker in the world is going to be trying now.

what's so hard to comprehend about First Peoples being a good label for the native populations throughout the entire world

this is like when people got up in arms about the word cisgender

I wouldn't want to use a blanket term for the entire world, since the experiences of different native groups haven't all been the same and can't really be painted with a broad brush without committing some historical gaffes. The Maori and the Cree aren't exactly brothers when it comes to their history.

I think some sort of scanner that you press your genitals against would be a good start. If my iPad responds to my fingerprints, genitalprinting technology must be within our grasp.

My wife and I were discussing this and we were wondering if you can use your tongue to activate a smartphone touchscreen, and it turns out that yes you can.

Maybe don't try that just after you've unlocked it with your dick, I dunno.

I know you're trying to be cute here, but since you asked: I propose that people stop assuming. Especially before they talk poo poo to other posters about "noble savages". In the post of mine that Bloody Hedgehog responded to it was pretty obvious I was speaking as a Native American.

And if you really read that as me being offended that I got called sir, I don't even know what to tell you.

Steven Donziger, noted scam artist and racketeer, got the RICO judgement against him upheld. :smugdog:

The entire judgement can be read here and, while long, is considerably interesting reading, describing how Donziger and his buddies set up this huge scheme to defraud Chevron out of billions of dollars, which fell apart upon the most cursory examination.

Honestly I think most of the terms are fine. First Nations, Native American, American Indian, whatever. I usually call myself (capital-N) Native American and I've never had anyone, Native or not, think it's inappropriate. Except some goons I guess?

I mean, I'm not going to tell anyone what words to use because, well, none of it applies to me. I'm not saying that First Peoples is the ~correct~ term or that the other ones are offensive or anything either, I just find people getting worked up over it bizarre.

Now you've got me curious about British law for this sort-of thing.

Not really the thread but it's broadly similar to the US, it requires resistance to breaking the law to be overcome to qualify as entrapment.

Not that it matters, because without a valid chain of evidence (and given these clowns can't work out what way a camera goes I think it's pretty unlikely that they'll have mastered that) the whole thing is inadmissible in court. However it's probably still enough for Plod to have a chat, and criminals are notoriously bad at not incriminating themselves, so it's likely they've probably got a half-decent success rate.
