> It wasn't a disaster

it was for the country

Of course it was a disaster for the country. But the purpose wasn't to help the country. It was to steal data and assert power over the civil servants. If you look at it that way then it was a complete success.

The disaster was that our checks and balances failed, the right people didn't stand up to stop it, and our elected officials didn't do their jobs. Hitler's standard playbook adopted by this administration.

When Hitler became chancellor on January 30, 1933, he relied initially on a coalition, emergency presidential powers, existing conservative officials, and the established bureaucracy. Enabling Act, March 23, 1933: allowed Hitler's cabinet to enact laws without parliamentary approval. Many conservative officials remained in office and the takeover occurred through a combination of legal changes, intimidation, selective purges, loyalty requirements, and control from above.

When someone, hypothetically, invades your country and you fail to defend, it's still fair to call the event, as a citizen of the country, a disaster. The pedantry is silly and unnecessary. The intended readers aren't so stupid as to need this repeated every single time this topic comes up.

I don't know if I'd call the pedantry silly and unnecessary. This forum is one of the few left where brilliant minds are able to discuss openly, with both accuracy and precision, about topics both narrow and wide. Being able to correctly state truths and falsehoods about any subject without fear of needing to subject to social guidelines on communication is a strength of this forum.

1. Not a great job if you truly cant argue with your boss.

2. the concept of arguing with your boss and humiliating them publicly is not the same, the word argue in the title is misused for the story the author tells

its the typical US regulations for consumer but not for corporations, disgusting

I have an X4, though its not small enough to stick onto a phone (or my phone is not gigantic enough), I do love it, simplistic and purposeful

wouldn’t agree that there’s a paradox to be found in what ur proposing

> nternet is beautiful because it's ok to be weird - this is often the opposite on twitter, fb, reddit and many discords where if you have a different opinion you get mobbed by angry comments making one feel worse about their own weirdness

which is ‘funny’ because by offline standards the average redditor will probably be seen as weird
