I wasn’t aware that the idea of a “meat cube” was related to Ukraine before reading this comment.

No body bags? No problem! Just crush your comrades into meat cubes for easy transportation!

I think the joke is that when the chewing gum bubble pops, the person holding the mace will use that as an excuse to smash things.

This also happens when Republicans have a majority. An example was how long it took to elect a Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2023.

Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.

I found https://daily.jstor.org/the-invention-of-incarceration/ by using https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=punishment+before+prison&ia=web

My assumption before even reading that was: I expect it’s because people wanted a punishment that wasn’t a monetary fine, corporal punishment, enslavement, death, or “death but we’ll pretend to not see you running away, and we might pardon you in 10 years, but if we see you before then we’ll kill you” (exile). I knew those were the only punishments in ancient Rome (and people weren’t held for long before facing a trial), and it seems that not much had changed until the idea of long term incarceration was conceived: https://romanempiretimes.com/crime-and-punishment-in-ancient-rome-justice-and-inequality/ https://factsanddetails.com/world/cat56/sub408/entry-6360.html

If you’re coming here and asserting they don’t exist

I don’t think “his “dark team”” doesn’t exist, because people that you are probably referring to are named the news article this discussion is based on.

Were you referring to “The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover” using the words “unidentified people”?

I also haven’t found anywhere Elon Musk expressed having a “dark team” (though they might have expressed something similar using different words): https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=“dark+team”+musk&ia=web

Your comments are confusing. Who are you referring to using the words “unidentified people”?

When I use https://archive.is/YAmss#selection-729.0-729.118 I see a list of names of engineers, which is surely a list of “The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover”.

https://www.futrega.org/digger/ clearly provides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digger_(video_game) using a web browser.

Thank you for prompting me to look for this!

If one copy of all of your data is deleted, you should be able to recover it.

• Maintain three copies of your data: This includes the original data and at least two copies.
• Use two different types of media for storage: Store your data on two distinct forms of media to enhance redundancy.
• Keep at least one copy off-site: To ensure data safety, have one backup copy stored in an off-site location, separate from your primary data and on-site backups.

Someone that was following best practices would have regularly made a copy of their data and stored it somewhere that doesn’t depend on anything Oracle does, since I’d consider depending on Oracle to store all of your data to be storing all your data at one site.

There is more discussion that might be useful here: https://ponder.cat/post/1453581

It seems the specific problem was that military planes were being used instead of civilian planes:

That is why I returned the U.S. military planes that were carrying Colombian migrants… In civilian planes, without being treated like criminals, we will receive our fellow citizens.

That does make sense to me, since I’d feel less comfortable if a military plane was flying into my country, whereas I’d be more comfortable if a regular civilian flight was used instead. From the perspective of a Colombian, I would be concerned about how national security would be affected by giving permission for military planes to operate when they wouldn’t otherwise have permission.

Something that might be useful is a general strike (see https://sh.itjust.works/post/9745322 and https://sh.itjust.works/post/31602246 also). It would be nice for more people to be unionized in preparation for that. I suspect that it would be better to start unionizing for jobs that more people have (like Personal Care Aides or people working in a retail store or fast food restaurant), since after having a union contract is more normalized it’d probably be easier for people like medical doctors or pilots or lawyers to have a union contract.

I’m personally interested in electoral reform (see [email protected] and [email protected] also), such that I wouldn’t have to worry as much about coordinating with other people before I vote. However, it’s guaranteed that someone will always be dissatisfied with the results of an election that isn’t unanimous, so that might not be a complete solution. A more general solution might be to handle more things locally with voluntary organizations. Another option could be to generally devolve power to local institutions (like to a state government or municipality) or to create more independent institutions that are directly accountable to the government of the United States but can act autonomously (like the Federal Reserve System) so that less is dependent on the Congress or the President, and then to reduce the authority of more powerful institutions. If some states withdrew or were expelled from the United States of America that might help (since the power of an expelled state and a post-expulsion United States of America would naturally be more local, and the power of each would also affect less territory).

What “new EU law” is being discussed? I read several articles like this but I failed to figure that out.

It helps me that this article expressed “The EU’s Code of Practice on Disinformation, introduced in 2022, includes several voluntary commitments” is relevant, but I don’t consider a law that is 2-3 years old to be “new”. Moreover, I’m not even sure what a “voluntary commitment” is in the context of a law.

This is the first news story I found that seems to be related, but it’s dated June 03, 2024: https://www.fortinet.com/blog/threat-research/menace-unleashed-excel-file-deploys-cobalt-strike-at-ukraine
