    Everything on the web transferred in cleartext, which is pretty crazy from today’s perspective.

    Man, I still remember the days before firesheep when you could get up to all kinds of fuckery if you knew what you were doing.

    Also, completely baffled me that someone thought it was a good idea to only use HTTPS for auth and leave the secure cookie traveling in the clear.





  • It is really dick sucking him tho. Calling that pice of shit a devoted public servant after he was instrumental in getting us into a war that was only as popular as it was because they took advantage of the nationalistic xenophobia to let W wage daddy’s war again for him, and that’s not even getting into the atrocities that were committed both at home and abroad under his direct leadership, and not even mentioning ANY of that might as well be sucking him off.

    I can understand "don’t speak ill of the dead’, but these fuckers should also understand “don’t speak of a war criminal on glowing terms”. It’s a bad look and it’s one of the many reasons yet another milquetoast democratic lost the against the worst politician in modern history.






  • had to re-test people and strip their badge/gun if they failed

    And I wonder how many of those stripped of their badge and gun went a county over and got hired?

    Problematic officers are usually just moved around when they get in trouble, so I have no faith that the officers with mental health issues actually got help or actually removed from the force entirely. And that’s assuming those who didn’t fail the second time legitimately got that score and didn’t have a thumb in the scale…





  • Nevertheless, there have been cases of brain dead people’s body adapting to the lack of central nervous system

    We’re they on life support, or do you have an example of it happening without any outside assistance?

    so the body is more independently alive than we tend to give it credit.

    Being able to biologically adapt to a different control mechanism is cool, but it’s not necessarily ‘alive’ depending on your definition. The biological mechanisms may still fire, but that doesn’t mean that you’re doing anything more than keeping a meat sack functioning while it otherwise atrophies.
