if there’s a client rendered element(such as a pop up box that can be clicked) it’s detectable
Neat, I’d never thought of that part. Usually when this topic is brought up, people talk about downloading the video multiple times and then diffing them to find the (presumably changing) commercials, but that’s a much simpler way. And it’s not as if they’d want an ad you can’t click on, so there’s no good countermeasure to it.
I mean clause 12 does give Congress the power to raise a real army, it’s just that it’s not supposed to stick around for more than two years at a time. In other words, it’s supposed to be a temporary thing during wartime and then go away afterward.
There’s no conflict with clause 14 because it’s about Congress’ power to govern and regulate the army during that two-year (or less) period while it’s raised (as well as to govern and regulate the navy all the time).
Seems to me like Clause 14 might not apply to the militia mainly because Clause 16 would cover it more specifically (e.g. delineating the separation of governance between militia under state control vs. militia under Federal control).
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 12:
“The Congress shall have Power… To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;”
That “no appropriation… for a longer term than two years” part was intended to prevent the establishment of a permanent standing army.
You can also tell that they really meant it because of the contrast with the next clause…
The Congress shall have power… To provide and maintain a Navy;
…which pointedly does not contain any such limitation.
(Also, the real point of the Second Amendment was that the militia – i.e. all able-bodied male citizens between age 17 and 45– should be “well regulated” (which at the time meant “well-trained”) and thus prepared to defend the security of the United States themselves. In other words, it was further reinforcement of the idea not to have a permanent professional army.)
Fun fact: the United States doesn’t have a permanent standing Army either. At least, according to the Constitution it doesn’t.
People in this thread, unironically:
I mean, given that Jesús would not only be a brown hippie moonshiner, but also probably a damn Mexican furriner to boot, he’d be lucky if they didn’t lay siege to the whole neighborhood, Waco-style.
No, because then the ATF will show up and shoot him.
This. “Marketing” is just a euphemism for “propaganda” – it is inherently manipulative and therefore evil.
Those links don’t say what you think they say.
This is especially true if your enemies are billionaires, petroleum energy execs, or others with exceptionally large culpability for climate change.
I learned Python after I already knew C, and I will forever be grateful for that.
I took an Operating Systems class in undergrad whose first assignment was to implement a simple web server in C, and it was fine. Later, I took the same prof’s grad-level class and had to do basically the same assignment again, and all I could think was “wow, this is incredibly tedious: this whole thing would be literally two lines of Python.” Python absolutely ruined my patience for writing C (or at least, for writing C socket code that has to manually juggle IPv4 and v6 struct addrinfos and whatnot).
Ha, you haven’t lived [in Hell] until you’ve tried to maintain a Jython build, with Python package dependencies (not just Java ones), in a production environment, in the 2020s.
I read that in Boss Nass’s voice.

Pretty depressing that even Montenegro manages to arrest, convict and imprison their coup instigators faster then the US has.
This situation you describe is legitimately one of my greatest fears as a parent. I have little useful advice to give; all I can really say is “good luck” and to research terms like “elsagate,” “gamergate” and “PewDiePipeline” to see what advice actual experts (psychologists etc.) have about deprogramming kids from them.
I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because I was trusted to be intelligent and wise enough to critically select what I watched or read and learn from the mistakes I made if I consumed something negatively influential.
I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because my computer-illiterate parents had absolutely no clue what the Internet was capable of exposing me to. Frankly, it was only dumb luck on their part that I happened to have the right personality and skills not to succumb to inceldom, the Alt-Right, or some other kind of radicalization.
(Even more frankly, maybe I did succumb to radicalization: I am, after all, an urbanist leftist Linux user (among other weird things) who likes to hang out on Lemmy, LOL!)
