Vasudus posted:I'm more concerned about them using ~cyber weapons~ that we most assuredly have in their power systems and industrial controls to brick the country. It's way less messy than saying OMG NUKES and much more likely given that the Trumpenfuhrer doesn't understand anything related to computers. I remember reading back when Stuxnet was a thing that bricking the entire power/water systems for the greater Tehran area would kill like millions of civilians. Cyber weapons are scary because they're so easy to do. I've spent a large part of my life doing reverse engineering and hacking work, and there's pretty much nothing I've not been able to break into. If the British government said tomorrow "we're at war, we won't prosecute any hackers that hit the enemy", I'm fairly sure I could knock over a power station or chemical plant or something. Industrial control systems are how can I put it, not good, and some idiot executive always ends up connecting them to the net to pull reports in. Thing is, if I can do that, the amount of poo poo an intelligence agency will have now will be huge. I reckon they could turn off a country, easily actually.

I had to look into jareds personal life for a dinner event that got canceled. I didn't see anything hugely bad about the guy. Jared hates chris christie for loving over jareds father though. Jareds father was a bigger donor to the democratic party as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Kushner

My personal theory is that Trump has someone close to them that's gay. Family member probably. The man who has made it his mission to insult just about everyone has been rather light on the LGBT community, given how it's a red meat demo for ~the base~ Obviously I mean Trump himself and not his admin (lololol hi Pence)

I guess the thing that scares me the most is that modern society would be completely devastated by a total loss of critical infrastructure. Like an untold number of people would die within 45 days of disease, starvation, and thirst. That's assuming that you can maintain law and order, or that there's no external forces like say the invading army of the country that shut off the lights. But hey, it's not nuclear so gently caress em. The only thing that's stopping any of this from happening is the fact that thus far, nobody's had the stones to try it beyond the incredibly targeted Stuxnet family of weapons.

Current (or at least prior to the Trump administration) policy treats a cyber attack on critical infrastructure as an act of war and presumes a mixture of kinetic and cyber means for proportional response, so it's not too different from any other scenario. Unless Bannon and Trump are in charge.

as far as I know, yah it is free speech so it is ok it is still lovely though Also you don't always just pay protestors, you some times just donate money to a group and mention that they should counter protest / protest something. It is understood if they want the funds they should do it then the organizers do the work for you. This poo poo is all old hat so when people say that a rich person is paying for poo poo, they really mean something like this, which well... happens. If they did it is another thing but even if they did, you can't easily explain it without looking like a conspiracy nut since a lot of focus has been spent on discrediting these types.

Stuxnet leaked, well that was the point, it was highly targeted but started infecting all sorts of poo poo, because a computer virus doesn't do what you want it to all the time. Someone could have replayed it, it was stupidly dangerous. God I'm surprised I didn't get arrested before I learned that lesson.

There was a "town hall" meeting in my town this morning for Congressman McClintock, a Republican. There were lots of protesters outside, McClintock brought a police escort, there were bomb-sniffing dogs, the local news say they had to plead with the police to be allowed in. I didn't hear about the event until it was already starting, or I would have been there too. Waiting to hear any details of what was actually said (it ended just a few minutes ago), though I'd be shocked if it was anything but party-line nothings. This is generally a very red area of what is considered a very blue state. The Tower Theater in Roseville was the venue, and they're about a week away from starting a production of "Legally Blonde: The Musical." The set is already in place and ready, so... (click for big)  So much pink. Robot Hobo fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Feb 4, 2017 |

maffew buildings posted:People not from CA generally have no concept of how fiercely Republican and intolerant parts of the state are. I do not miss that area, but Legally Blond the musical sounds delightful Most of the rest of the state, which is a huge majority of it geographically, is politically and culturally not that different from the deep-south red states. I grew up in a rural area about 25 miles North of the state capital. My high school had maybe 1,300 kids when I was there in the late 90s, I'd guess less then 10 were black. If there was a single gay student or teacher when I went there, they were smart enough not to make that public knowledge. My Biology teacher was a hardcore young-earth creationist, so he made sure we knew that Evolution wasn't a real thing. My cousin is on the school's shooting team, which I didn't realize until recently isn't a thing all schools have. The side of my family I was raised around (my parents excepted)... well, I only ever heard them resort to calling someone "a colored" when they were in mixed company and were trying to be more polite than usual. There's a whole movement here for "The State of Jefferson," trying to get California to split in half. The intent of the split being to separate from the liberal areas entirely and become a new super-red state. It's a terrible idea for lots of reasons, but if you see 5 cars ahead of you on the freeway around here, you'll probably see at least one pro-Jefferson bumper sticker.

Robot Hobo posted:Yeah, that's a huge misconception people have. Everyone tends to think of California as this wildly liberal place. Los Angeles area, San Francisco bay area, and a few of the coastal/college towns are what they're actually thinking of. Those places have dense populations, so they're relatively tiny areas that swing our overall votes to the Democratic side. They're also the only cities you tend to see in the news, TV shows, and movies. That's pretty much any state. Almost all liberal states are ones with enough people in their cities to control the way the votes go.
