OP is referencing the Dark Tower series for those who didn’t know.

Look! It’s Homelander! I’m sure he won’t grow up and torture the scientists in horrible ways…

I’m just responding to your comment. If you were only talking about encryption, then maybe word your comment more clearly… Especially if you want to cast aspersions towards other about staying on topic.

Only if you look at it in the most general, limited, pov. Are they the same people on corporate greed? Not all, but mostly yes. Are they the same people on encryption? Yes. Are they the same on human rights? Absolutely fucking not. If the only thing important for you is encryption, voting isn’t going to change the government’s policy decisions. However, if things other than encryption and corporate greed are important, then voting for a Republican is voting against your interests. History is filled with people who can’t see past their own fucking biases and look out for the greater interest… So you have a lot of historical company.

I think all of their albums have songs equal to or better than SFTD. Is SFTD the most consistent throughout?? I don’t know. This coming from a guy that had SFTD in his cd player from 2002 to 2006. I

Live-Throwing Copper. It’s an absolute masterpiece. Their other albums have some gems, but the rest of the discography is nowhere near the quality of TC.

I was raised in the city…shitty…ever since i was an iddy biddy kiddy drinking liquor out my mama’s tiddy.

All Tool albums Lateralus and later.

Your response doesn’t logically respond to my comment. It attempts to reframe the argument by setting up a “strawman,” and shows that you fail to understand (or choosing to ignore because it doesn’t support your new reframed argument) the difference between civil and criminal law in the United States.

It can’t be a crime unless there is a criminal statute that applies. See if you can find one thst applies.

It’s not a crime.

You just keep shifting your argument to create some sort of sympathy. I guess. No one says a rich person isn’t a victim. The point is is being a victim as a wealthy and influential woman like Taylor is a lot different than being a victim in a working class context. If you disagree with that, then you’re either being intellectually dishonest or living in a dream world.

Even the law agrees. It’s a lot harder as a celebrity to win a defamation lawsuit than it is being a normal person. You typically have to show actual malice. Frankly, that’s the legal standard that would probably apply to any lawsuit involving the deep fakes anyway.

That’s not their point and you know it. Get your bad faith debating tactics out of here.

She isn’t living “every woman’s nightmare” because a woman without the wealth and influence Taylor has might actually suffer significant consequences. For Taylor, it’s just a weird Tuesday. For an average small town lady, it might mean loss of a job, loss of mate, estrangement from family and friends… That’s a nightmare.

They aren’t in my experience. They are stressed about increasing cognitive dissonance.

“science”… That’s just a road to hell with extra steps.

The universe will still exist… But the end of the human animal is most certainly nigh.

At those prices, that’s not the only thing getting fucked.

I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.
