There's a reason scam artists target the elderly. If a box on the computer screen says "put payment info here" then who are they to argue with the box?

They could also be limited to serving for say 10 years without the possibility of a second term. Effectively very similar to a lifetime appointment. There's no re-election so they don't have to rule on cases in a political manner. This doesn't solve the problem of approval rating being completely meaningless, but at least there's some limit on insanity.

Was definitely not expecting to see this copy pasta here.

So you're just out here trying to start a riot, eh?

So we're just putting "Frostpunk video game" in as a prompt now? :)

Refusing to vote just lets people who do vote decide your fate. Refusing to vote for either major party candidate as a protest just means that you're okay with either one winning.

You might disagree philosophically, but I'm talking about the reality of what is going to happen. One of the two major party candidates is going to win. If your conscience tells you to vote third party, then sobeit. Just understand the potential consequences of that decision.

No, you're right, you should be. We don't want to normalize this shit, it should continue to shock and offend.

These are the dark sides of modern technology. The kids working cobalt mines. The workers being paid pennies to categorize data so bad that it is traumatic to even read it. I can't imagine how the people who have to look at pictures can do it.

I feel like I could handle some dark text here or there, but if I had to do it for 40-50 hours a week? Hundreds of passages every day. That would warp me pretty quickly.

I mean, being a combative dick to her is pretty much her aphrodisiac.

Know your school handbook and acceptable use policy inside and out. Same with any other published guidelines they provide. My bet is that their AUP says something about not circumventing their security and monitoring tools. Booting into a live OS would certainly fall into that category. But knowing what the rules actually say is probably the first thing you should do since you don't own the hardware or network. From there, you can decide how far you really want to go and if there are any defenses or loopholes in the rules.

Getting your own hardware is probably your best option in this case if you can do so.
