UltraMagnus0001 , in Anti-trans Texas pastor arrested after paying undercover cop for sex

These fuckers always hiding as someone in power to control others, meanwhile they’re the ones projecting and can’t leave other alone.

GregorGizeh ,

Technically I don’t think it is projecting as usual. Often it is some anti gay preacher trying to secretly hook up with a gay person or so. This is a trans hater who… Was looking to get with an adult consenting bio woman. I dont think that qualifies, aside from the usual and unsurprising fact that a man of religion does something his religion frowns upon.

Someone check the pizza trackers around the Pentagon. If it’s busy, we are in trouble

But I’ve read they have since mitigated the traceability of their pizza eating through various means.

Someone finally got the green light on the pizza oven in the white house project they’ve been harrassing the budget committee about for five years.

When the president wants Thai yellow curry today and menudo tomorrow, you make it for them.

catloaf ,

There’s a comedic bit about that in one of those pulp thrillers. The President keeps trying to trip up the chef by requesting weird stuff, but the kitchen always comes through. But at the end of the book, the President sits down exhausted and just asks for a grilled American cheese sandwich—but they’re out of American.

I’m sure that in reality, if they didn’t have something, they’d send a runner to go pick it up real quick. Or nowadays, maybe doordash.

OTOH - WTF do they think they’re looking for? I don’t expect hotel staff to know a nefarious device from a multi-port USB hub.

abaddon ,

Why does this bot constantly get down voted?

Vent , in Hotel to Search Rooms During DEF CON Hacking Conference

But… it’s cybersecurity. What is a “brief visual and non-intrusive room inspection” even looking for? Anonymous masks? Green terminals with scrolling text? People shouting “enhance” and/or “I’m in”?

adespoton ,

Possibly they’re looking for people assembling their sniper rifles, or trying to ensure that no hotel room gets gutted to become some group’s command HQ with 50 amps of electronics with no shielding sprouting from the wall sockets and clean (de)soldering stations set up alongside an electron microscope?

I know what’s gone on in those hotel rooms in past years, and a lot of it is stuff I wouldn’t want to have to deal with as a hotelier.

friend_of_satan ,

Answering machines, scrabble boards, camouflage laptops, rollerblades.

I’ve heard you can bankrupt financial institutions with one of those.

scytale , in Hotel to Search Rooms During DEF CON Hacking Conference

How can an inspection be non-intrusive if it consists of physically entering a guest’s room? As an aside, I was hoping I could attend this year but my company said there wasn’t enough budget 🙄. Whenever I attend Defcon or Blackhat, I stay in hotels not directly within the vicinity of the con because of all the shenanigans.

jordanlund ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Non-Intrusive in that they enter the room, which is their property and they have the right to enter, but they aren’t going through your stuff.

Nougat ,

Renters have rights.

jordanlund ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

They do, and you agree to whatever rights are outlined in the rental agreement when you check in and sign the forms.

meco03211 ,

There are rights you can’t give up even by signing them away.

jordanlund ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

On private property, you agree to the terms the property owner sets.

meco03211 ,

There are still rights you 100% cannot sign away regardless of what property you are on.

jordanlund ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

There are also rights people think they have on private property that they absolutely do not have. ;)

Nougat ,

There is a difference between being a customer in a store and a resident in a rental property.

Tenants have rights.

foggy ,

When you give someone the key to property you own for an exchange of money, you indeed lose that explicit right.

So, no. You are incorrect. It is their property, but they gave up the right to enter with less than 24 hrs notice when they sold the keys.

This is by definition, intrusive.

jordanlund ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Spot the person who has never read a hotel rental agreement.

foggy ,

Spot the person who has a fundamental misundertanding of property rights.

Get fucked, my guy. I was polite, but youre returning fightin words.

Google the term “reasonable person” and quickly learn that any such agreement has no legal standing. It’s an agreement. It is not contractual. It is not enforcable.

meco03211 ,

Not the person you’re responding to… but consider your proposal that an unreasonable person Google the definition of a reasonable person. I imagine they won’t come to the correct conclusion.

machinin ,

As a parent, I have the right to enter my kids’ rooms anytime I want. If I don’t do it respectfully, it will definitely be intrusive.

The hotel does have their rights. When they abuse those rights, it becomes intrusive. Rights don’t really have anything to do with feeling that someone is being intrusive.

Orbituary , in Biden, Harris head to Situation Room as Iran threatens attack on Israel
@Orbituary@lemmy.world avatar

WTAF did they think was going to happen letting Israel act unchecked?

Launch attacks across borders and you fuck with sovereign territory and…checking notes… Those places have a right to defend themselves.

WatDabney ,

Right, but it’s not really a matter of what did they expect from just standing idly by as Israel brazenly tried to provoke military responses fron Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran, since we’re in this bizarre post-truth timeline in which governments and corporate media just blithely pretend that none of that happened at all

All of the versions of this story that I’ve seen so far either pass over Israel’s provocations entirely, or try to bury them by just mentioning them in passing, in passive voice, and with no assignment of responsibility.

The stock phrase is “Iran vows retaliation after the killing of…”

The mid-phrase shift from active to passive voice is propaganda 101.

WTAF did they think was going to happen letting Israel act unchecked?

Yes, how dare they retaliate to events provoked by Iran? They are going about it terribly, but they were entirely in their rights to do something.

Ab_intra ,
@Ab_intra@lemmy.world avatar

Provoked by Iran? I think you should read some history dude. Nothing happens in vacuum and Israels occupation is the sole reason for 7. October. I do not agree with what Hamas did but thinking that anyone would just sit and watch their home be occupied is ignorant at best. The irony being that Israel funded Hamas. They can thank themselves for those deaths to be completely honest.

cygnus ,
@cygnus@lemmy.ca avatar

Israels occupation is the sole reason for 7. October. I do not agree with what Hamas did but

What kind of abuser rationale is this? “Look what you made me do?” That twisted logic is exactly what Israel is using to justify their rampage at the moment. Killing innocent civilians is not OK, full stop.

catloaf ,

Okay maybe Israel should have not been doing that since 1948 then

cygnus ,
@cygnus@lemmy.ca avatar

You should take ab_intra’s advice and read some history. People in the middle east didn’t discover violence in 1948.

Psychodelic ,

I’m with you on violence bad, but if you were to consider Nat Turner’s rebellion, where many enslaved Africans escaped their captors and murdered white Americans (including women and children), as justification for slave owning Americans being unjustly brutal towards Africans and prohibiting them from learning to read, most people would justly tell you to fuck off and say those people that thought they could own other human beings based solely on the color of their skin should be condemned for all eternity. Hell they might even say those Africans didn’t kill enough of those evil whites

I’d say, you’ll never achieve peace by attacking the other side, but you can only achieve peace if both sides want it. White Americans in the South during 1938 absolutely did not want peace with African Americans in much the same way Israelis don’t want peace with Palestinians today. It’s oversimplified but this feeling has always gone mostly one way. Black Americans have mostly just wanted peace, they don’t want revenge. The same goes for Palestinians. It’s truly amazing how hard it is/was for many white Americans and Israelis to learn and accept that fact.

protist , in $1 trillion wipeout: Market rout punishes megacap tech

Even after this correction, the NASDAQ is still up 16% year over year, and the DJIA is up over 9%, just to put things in perspective that the sky is not falling.

AshMan85 ,

Yeah but almost every major is pro trump and pro fascism

protist ,

Yeah I’m not sad about Google, Meta, or Nvidia each losing tens of billions in valuation, just making sure the “It’s 2008 all over again!!” crowd knows it’s not that.

henfredemars , in Justice Thomas failed to reveal more private flights, senator says

It’s so blatantly corrupt that it hardly makes news anymore.
