Also, at the societal level, the high lethality of the virus makes it far less likely to be able to spread broadly.

Establishment Democrats said Platner was unelectable, but he just curb stomped their chosen alternative, and every poll says he will do even better in the general - better also than Janet Mills would have by a wide margin. It’s almost like Schumer is full of shit.

It’s not exactly wrong though. The consolidation of suppliers increases the influence and leverage of suppliers. More companies does not necessarily equate to more spending, though in this environment more spending seems inevitable in either case.

LMFAO

Who’s dismissing it? The whole point here is about comparing nations. China is committing genocide, the US is committing genocide, Israel is committing genocide, and the list goes on. I don’t “dismiss” it, but if one is valid than so are the others.

Yes they have. Who hasn’t? America is still continuously invading Indian lands and destroying the ecosystems they depend on. You might have noticed America also has a bit of a white nationalist problem, and is currently in the midst of a purge.

Glazing him? I haven’t said one word praising him for anything. You are a ridiculous troll.

I don’t disagree on the current state. However, it’s not hard to foresee that attack tools will be developed that can maintain “attention” on an attack for days or weeks at a time with privately run agents. I’m sure they are out there already to some degree.

Cyber security in general is going to get interesting. Breaking into protected systems often requires more patience than expertise. Attackers often get detected when they take short cuts because of laziness and overconfidence. AI agents have unfathomable patience and attention to detail.l

Whatever you imagine I “implied” is outright contradicted by what I “said”. You overstepped here. Any internal debate I had about whether you are an idiot or a troll has been resolved. You are definitely a troll.

No, you super this dude like a cult. Like he can do no wrong.

I already said that I don’t even watch his streams, so what the fuck are you talking about?

Explain why his knee jerk reaction to tell at his dog whimpering?

Hassan himself explained it, and it’s easy enough to look up for anyone interested.

found at least 2 people who support animal abuse.

This kind of says it all. No, there is no support for animal abuse here, and it’s now crystal clear that you are someone who can’t (or won’t) distinguish between reality and their own assumptions. Readers can contemplate if that is relevant to your accusations against Hassan.

The whole reason they bring it up all the time is to derail substantive conversation and embroil the community in “what color is the dress” debates instead of talking about genocide. Even “winning” the debate is a losing move because it embraces the distraction and won’t keep it from coming up again and again forever.

That’s not what I said either. It’s enough for me to point out that the “facts” as you present them aren’t uncontested. I trust rational folks to go look for themselves. Nothing you or I bicker about here would or should be relevant to what they find. I also note that there are probably tens of thousands of hours of Hassan streaming with that dog in the background, and if there were a single other incident indicating that Hassan routinely tortures it, his detractors would certainly have surfaced it by now.

What I will point out is that, were we to swallow this junk wholesale, a “lesser of two evils” comparison between Hassan and his establishment detractors would still put him miles ahead. Shock collars are awful, but not genocide levels of awful. The talking heads reading AIPAC scripts against Hassan are literally motivated by support for a genocidal regime. Re-litigating old and seriously disputed claims is distraction at best.

I meant what I said.

I’m not interested in relitigating it here. It’s been discussed to death.

Given that the two biggest national sponsors of terrorism in the world are Israel and America, any comparison with Cuba, China, the Houthis, and Hamas might come out sounding like praise. Right now the fate of the middle east and the world at large depends on Iran defeating Israel and the US. The worst possible future would be for Israel to get to continue attacking it’s neighbors forever to build “greater Israel” as they dream. Does that make Iran the “good guys”? Not even close.

Probably because that’s bullshit. I’ve seen the video, can understand how some people might think that happened, but it didn’t. I’m definitely not in his cult, if such a thing actually exists. I’ve never even watched a significant portion of any of his streams. The guy mumbles a bit too much for my tastes.

It depends on the rest of your setup, but I recommend going with zigbee or matter/thread for the connectivity. I definitely wouldn’t put any “smart” devices on my general purpose wifi. That stuff is never going to be secure. Also, consider if smart switches would work for you instead. That way you don’t have to pay the premium when a bulb burns out.
