Spooky month off to a bad start.

The entire covid crisis has made me about 1000 times more supportive of authoritarian governance and I don't think I'm alone.

Capitalist democracy's pitch is "yes, life will be lovely for some and there will be no guardrails preventing depravation, but you get 50000 various kinds of treat in the grocery store snack isle and you might get to be one of the lucky ones with multiple houses." that is a compelling and winning argument for most people in this country

Capitalist democracy's pitch on disease response is "yes, you and your loved ones will have an increased chance of disease and with it horrible death, but on the upside, the worst person you know will get to act out the dumbest beliefs they found on Facebook" and I can't imagine that's as compelling for people

I’m pretty sure this era of disinformation is going to rubber band hard the other way into authoritarian censorship.

A reminder that if you have a VA rating for anything that requires depression meds that cause performance issues, you may be entitled to Special Monthly Compensation K, for loss of a creative organ. It is an extra $111.74 a month and it stacks on your other payments.

I’m not sure I ever thought about the going rate for boners but I don’t think $111.74 is where I would have pegged it.

What’s the point of encrypting passwords if they can be stolen anyway

I thought encryption was literally invented to prevent that type of thing

Good chance they didn't encrypt if the paswords were stolen,

Don't assume any given site actually has good security, or even minimal security.

This is going to be a rabbit hole conversation because now my question is why even require passwords in 2021 if they’re not encrypted?

How do these companies even get off the ground?

Okay, but have you considered that someone convicted might not be guilty? Even if it was acceptable to basically torture prisoners, is it okay to torture wrongfully convicted people, even if it's something like .1%, just to make sure we torture the guilty ones?

I get what you’re saying, but child molesters should never be part of your argument if you are in favor of prison reform, even if you are 100% inarguably correct.

If we paid people based on their value to society you’d still have a huge wealth gap, it would just be kind of inverted to what it is now.

The 1% would be nurses and grocery store workers.

Why the gently caress does the highway patrol have a digital forensics unit jfc defund these fucks

Sometimes Highway Patrol is also another name for State Police / State Troopers.

All state level police agencies have investigators (detectives) and / or civilian support staff specialists that work on stuff dealing with computers, whether its normal poo poo like going through a murder suspect's hard drive or phone, or heinous poo poo like going through a pedo's hard drive or phone.

Bag on regular cops all you want, but dealing with child abuse crimes is horrendous on people's mental health, and it's good that there are units investigating and prosecuting poo poo like that.

Fwiw when I think highway patrol I think the Florida highway patrol who sit on the interstate and write tickets and work out of small shacks as an hq.
