@barefootstache agreed. Or illegal. It's a matter of perspective.

It's not that Linux isn't ready for desktop use. It's that you're not ready for desktop use.
@barefootstache But again, I'd like to hear them give me a coherent historical example of a legal invasion.
That's the trick, there isn't one, they will call them liberations lol
@barefootstache Yeah, understood. There is so much wrong with all of that. The US in large part controls the UN and/or international laws (as well as ignoring it, along with other big players i.e UK, China, etc) so I wonder how they describe the US war with Iraq? It's obviously the same situation, Iraq didn't invade anyone etc etc. So my point, saying it's "illegal" is just a way of selling it to citizens, to make it sound worse.
@barefootstache but since its "secret" they would still label it as an illegal invasion, right? I'm trying to find a situation where you could use the term "legal invasion", mainly to point out that everyone who says " the illegal invasion of Ukraine" is dumb, because they are unknowingly propagating the notion that its really bad because its illegal, vs having a legal invasion.

Let’s make more people sick
so we can sell more medicine.
Let’s start another war
so we can sell more weapons.
Let’s cause more crime
so we can hire more lawyers
and build more prisons.
Let’s cut ourselves
because the bandage is pretty.
Let’s kill ourselves
to feed the worms.
@barefootstache I'm trying to work that out....if both parties agree then I don't see how it could be an invasion at that point. "Hey, we are going to invade you." "Sure, cmon in!" Lol. Can you give me a hypothetical example, I can't come up with one.
Serious question - is there such a thing as a legal invasion?
@mrcippy you da man!
Happened to randomly check if Flipper Zeros in stock, after wanting one for months, and was surprised the US store had them. Got one coming. If you are in the US and wanted one, head to the store before they are gone. https://shop.flipperzero.one
@freemo @trinsec https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-csGDoSSZyc the 1st 20secs of this is happening in 90% of american soccer living households right now.
Wannabe dictators need only apply (mentions evil agents)
@empiricism Seems like an honest mistake on both are parts then. See, we can always find resolution with discussion. 😀

@empiricism I am not confrontational, unless confronted We probably would have had a much more interesting conversation if you didn't try to assert intellectual dominance for absolutely no reason in your first reply (attached).
But hey, shit happens. You too, have a good day.

@empiricism story? Thought it was one of those them complicated "thought experiments"?
No, it was the pseudointellectual response of someone who probably just took his first Psychology class (u a first or 2nd year?) Talking like you may hurt my social status (ego), INA purposely condescending fashion. Thats all.
None of the options of the thought experiment bothered me, because the act itself of controlling the entire globes minds is so unethical an evil that it surpasses the problems trying to be fixed in the options laid out. That's all.

@empiricism my response, which I had already stated originally, was the only thing I had to say on the subject. Which is why I said it. It obviously wasn't what you were looking for, but perhaps the only one you will get, who knows.
I don't participate in competitions (IQ), especially against an obviously unarmed opponent. (That was a joke)
Wannabe dictators need only apply (mentions evil agents)
@empiricism I'm sorry, oh thou of such IQ, I didn't realize these fancy thought experiments, which of course I never heard of cuz they are so complicated,must only be responded to in the wishes of the OP.
I retract my response,and of course submit to your vast intellect.
Wannabe dictators need only apply (mentions evil agents)
@empiricism you have become what you hate. Evil dictators have the same mindset as you in this thought experiment - that you are doing what's best. If you proceed, you are no longer a good person. The only difference is how the people are treated in this prison of existence
