Lock them up and tell them they can get the key if they send 50 bitcoin to g3tr3kt

Better put Ryan Gosling on standby in case he needs to "retire" the rouge Air Canada chatbot Blade Runner style.

I once had a professional licence that required me to register a whole bunch of personal info to a government website. I used a password generator to create a 32 character password when creating my account.

I tried to login after creating my account but my password wouldn't work. I hit "forgot my password" and got my password emailed to me in plain text. That alone was worrisome but then I realized my password wasnt working because they truncated it to 8 characters, which I'm assuming is the maximum password length.

I emailed their tech support about my concerns and they emailed back asking if I needed help to login. I said no, I had concerns over security and I never got a reply back. Every few months I'd hit "forgot my password" to see if anything changed. I always got my password emailed to me in plaintext.

Even IRL snipers are hated. Part of their training is to pretend to be a regular soldier if captured to avoid being tortured. Turns out people don't like being shot at by someone a mile away who immediately runs and hides after taking the shot.

We're at the point where the Pentagon needs to check with Elon Musk before making decisions because he personally controls 50% of the satellites in orbit and if he feels offended he can prevent the US, and anyone else, from using them. He can single handedly turn the tides of war. He's undoubtedly more powerful than the US president. He's unelected and has zero accountability. Why are we all ok with this??

Trolls see far greater reach on Twitter and Facebook. You can post about white replacement on /pol/ but the thread will get a few dozen replies at most. If you post it on Twitter it'll be retweeted by Elon Musk himself.

My town had a local shawarma place get busted for cocaine smuggling. I always laughed at the thought of some new guy getting nervous.

"Anything to drink, sir?"
"Do you guys have any coke?"
"ABSOLUTELY NOT! WHO TOLD YOU THAT?? GET OUT OF HERE!"

Stop being so chartreuse! Would it kill you to be a little more periwinkle?
