Depends on the details. If their crime hurt someone innocent (or had a high likelihood to) and it was intentional, yes.
If I’m likely to go down with them if they get caught, yes.
Otherwise, I ain’t no snitch and even if I were I don’t know anything about nothing.
I’m far from an expert on the topic, but I’ve worked around the military for a while, and have had some conversations with some more knowledgeable people about this.
Basically, it’s any kind of military work that isn’t affiliated with a government. On the more benign side of things that would be stuff like private armed security, the French Foreign Legion, or working as a contractor for companies that do physical pen-testing for military installations.
It could also mean working as a contractor for a group like Blackwater, where you are engaging in some likely shady military operations where the government wants some sort of deniability, which (IMO) crosses the line fully into the malign.
Boredom is the key to learning something it’s just very likely that it won’t be the thing school is trying to teach. Especially if the thing school is teaching is the thing boring you.
My job’s unlikely to go anywhere unless I commit a heinous crime and I already live well below my means in terms of required expenses.
I’m probably going to be fine, but just in case I intend to increase my cash savings and stock up a bit on nonperishable food and other required household goods.
Other than that there’s not a lot of prep I can do.
“Sounds shitty, have you considered suicide?”
Younger me was depressed, pessimistic, arrogant, and very much so an asshole with selective hearing. He would only hear the parts of what’s happened that fit what he expects to happen.
And despite quite a few negatives over the last decade or so, I’ve managed to do pretty well for myself.
He’d probably also tell me to lift with my knees. I had to do some heavy lifting at work yesterday and now my back’s sore.
My recommendations are oriented towards people with a christian background, that said a lot of the ideas involved can be applied to religious belief systems as a whole.
Isaac Asimov’s guide to the Bible - an annotated version of the old and new testament that provides additional clarity and historical context.
The Skeptics Annotated Bible by Steven Wells - A version of the King James Bible with annotations written from an Atheist’s perspective.
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins - A book that walks through a lot of the logical fallacies, magical thinking, and cognitive biases that Dawkins sees in religious belief. As the title suggests the tone of the book is rather aggressive (which I think is a bit counterproductive) but if you can read past that there’s a lot of good information.
Well, not on a modern Xbox. On the OG XBox however…
Sure, just remember the S in IoT stands for security and IoT devices are just embedded devices connected to the internet.
And the Medical industry is the proof for the rule.
Ireland is probably the friendliest I’ve been too. The Irish are great people.
Rome (I know, not a country, but I can’t comment on the rest of Italy) is probably the least friendly place I’ve been to. Romans are assholes. It’s a very cool city, but the people, especially outside of tourist traps suck.
The Japanese are very polite, respectful, and helpful (almost to a fault) but I’m not sure if I’d generally describe them as friendly.

PETG is very hygroscopic. It’s one of those filaments that you should dry before using every time. Even if it’s a freshly opened package.
Burrito Factory does make some excellent burritos, but I’d actually recommend Burrito Heaven over them. Unless you specifically want a breakfast burrito. It is hard to beat Burrito Factory’s breakfast burritos.
For an additional gender neutral option, your butthole is almost as unique as your fingerprints, to the point that unless you have an identical twin it’s reasonable to assume that no one else shares your specific butthole print.
VR gaming is still pretty niche and expensive if you want a truly good experience. There also haven’t really been any major advancements in the space since the Valve Index almost six years ago.
Inside out tracking is still not where it needs to be and the base stations for outside in tracking are cumbersome.
Additionally, for the full promise of VR gaming to be realized you really need accurate full body tracking to include full hand tracking, a compact, easily stowable, but accurate omnidirectional treadmill, and some way to do all of the tracking without the need for base stations.
And all of that needs to be standardized across the industry.
I too enjoy VR gaming, but there’s been basically no movement in the VR space in a long time, and to most people VR is a novelty at best. Unless someone gives us a decade’s worth of advancement inside of a year or two, I expect modern VR will go the way of the virtual boy. Only to be revived again in 20-30 years.
But have you tried pizza on pineapple? A grilled pineapple slice with all of your pizza toppings on it.
Pretty much everything from Weird Al.
What’s wrong with the sentiment expressed in the headline? AI training is not and should not be considered fair use. Also, copyright laws are broken in the west, more so in the east.
We need a global reform of copyright. Where copyrights can (and must) be shared among all creators credited on a work. The copyright must be held by actual people, not corporations (or any other collective entity), and the copyright ends after 30 years or when the all rights holders die, whichever happens first. That copyright should start at the date of initial publication. The copyright should be nontransferable but it should be able to be licensed to any other entity only with a majority consent of all rights holders. At the expiration of the copyright the work in question should immediately enter the public domain.
And fair use should be treated similarly to how it is in the west, where it’s decided on a case-by-case basis, but context and profit motive matter.
With phrasing like that, you should start a gang. Call yourselves the Autobots.
Probably Norway, Finland, or Sweden. At the risk of potentially offending all Scandinavians, in terms of the things I personally care about, all three countries can be considered as essentially the same. They all check pretty much all of my boxes. They all have ideal (meaning Arctic or subarctic) weather, they’re in a particularly beautiful part of the world, politically and socially they generally align well with my values, hiking and other outdoor activities are readily available, and while it’s not the primary language, English is broadly spoken to a high degree of fluency in all three countries. Meaning I wouldn’t have to struggle to communicate while trying to learn the local language.
In terms of a degree, I don’t currently have one, but I generally enjoy the field I currently work in, so I’d probably go for either a general computer science degree or something more focused on system administration. Possibly with a minor involving some electrical engineering courses.
Ah yes, the infamous “stinky cheese” email virus. Who knew zip bombs could be so destructive. It erased all of the easter eggs off of my DVDs.
