The prospect of "Attack" and "Literal War" is limited by the fact that worst-case resistance involves a drone strike, and worst-case compliance involves retaining enough wealth for you and everyone you know to live on the beach sipping mojitos for the rest of your natural lives, while holding a nice trophy.

Just not, you know, a space program and a larger military than Krushchev's reporting to you personally.

Worst case scenario? It was the first you brought up.

I don't really want to cut taxes for the working/middle class though. I want to tax the everliving fuck out of the hyper-wealthy, to the point that they cease to exist. The money should go into providing goods and services for the working/middle class, but collecting that money and lighting it on fire (or parking assets in a sovereign wealth fund) is a superior option to doing nothing.

Neither our democracy nor our position as a world power survived capitalism eating itself and everything else. We are down to single individuals holding more nominal wealth than whole continents, and the worship of the billionaire has replaced the worship of Jesus Christ for most Americans, a palace cult committing national suicide on your behalf. If you want any of the things that America pitched as its merits in fighting for influence in the Cold War, you want this situation over with.

Let them eat three commas and not a penny more. When you become a billionaire we give you a medal and confiscate every dollar above 1 billion. Using a carrier strike group if necessary.

This is just silly. Not many animals will stand completely still while you attack them.

It sure sounds tough though! Literal war with people for being successful, how much time have you spent on this line of thought?

That is expected. The problem is that people are not getting healthier, or more intelligent, quite the opposite.

Obviously there is an absolutely massive problem that you're missing as you're congratulating yourself on "succeeding" with a massive effort with no clear result.

Good experiment… I guess turn the lead back on and we’ll see!

When I was a child, in the 90s, I did this all of the time.

Input a unique string I could watch for, fire up SoftICE, watch for the string, and then step through until the == comparison happened, then either grab the calculated key and input it, or patch the comparison from == to != or just return true, depending on the implementation.

SoftICE was such a gift and pain in the ass.

I did a massive crack that involved a program and it’s inf/dll hardware driver package.

Some of the most rewarding work I’ve done and also just so tedious!

Having to stop the OS like that and accidentally getting to the kernel but then not wanting to lose my position so having to hit step over and step out until just the right place… whew.

Changji is. And yes, its a nice shopping mall also, but also seats you can sleep on in the movie theater.

It would be really chill for them to play silent films from midnight on

How would you have paid more to avoid the situation the author of TFA found themselves in?

If the airline has a lounge, you may be able to sign up for their credit card and get access.

Lightshot, if youre using it you should remove it and then google why.
SV_BubbleTime · 10 days ago
If you have something to say, say it. People don’t have the time to go investigate, but maybe you have something interesting to claim with a source.

For all I know you found a way to tie some software to a politician you want me to hate, or the guy that wrote it donated to $50 to a cause you don’t like, or they murdered beagle puppies in some horrendous way. Just spit it out.

Same. I tried probably 6-7 different tools on Ubuntu before I found Flameshot. It was everything I was looking for.
SV_BubbleTime · 10 days ago
Good to know.

It was number three for me, I stopped looking and sort of wondered if there was anything else out there better.

It’s VERY GOOD…

But why the hell can’t we get pen smoothing? What if I want to use the pen tool but not make it look like I’m a child on several mediations?
