  • Honestly, if I’m the defense, this has gotta be awesome, right? Now, I’m not a lawyer, but I have watched Boston Legal twice, so that’s basically the same thing, and what I’m hearing is these people want to get up on the stand and show the jury a video which either:

    A) to the particularly inattentive, shows the victim clearly alive, or

    B) demonstrates that even video evidence can be completely fabricated from whole cloth, and the opposition is more than capable of doing so to serve their own interests

    Barring the staggeringly unlikely event that the defendant goes full-on Perry Mason Perp and outright says “hey, sorry I killed you, man” to the hologram, this seems like a pretty sweet deal.


  • nah, see, you got

    1. self-aggrandizing unelected bureaucrat
    2. intentionally sabotaging government programs to make his own vanity project look better
    3. blind obsession with deeply-flawed and barely-functional technological monstrosity
    4. claims sole credit for his program’s achievements despite, at best, hiring the guy that hired the guy that hired the guy to build the schematic that some other guy gave him
    5. definitely blackmailing his boss
    6. barely committed to his administration’s political agenda beyond whatever inflates his own ego
    7. nazi cosplay
    8. not a real face

    dude’s not Vader, he’s Tarkin. Vance is the moody teenager from bumfuck nowhere who suddenly started sucking the spiteful old warlock’s dick despite years of going on about how much he hates his whole deal, likely screwing over his wife in the process, making him Vader. and I guess Obi-Wan is Pope Francis because Vance definitely killed him.













  • Beyond that, it also just runs way worse; new.reddit takes at least twice as long to load a page than old.reddit. And when your entire business model is based on exploiting my stunted attention span to trick me into reading advertisements, you can’t give me that extra two and a half seconds to realize maybe I don’t give a shit about half the garbage I just mindlessly scrolled through, or else I’m gonna just go, like, fly a kite or something. And I don’t wanna do that, where do you even get a kite?

    And hell, it’s entirely possible this rate limit isn’t just restricted to old.reddit, but nobody’s noticed yet because new.reddit is too slow to make 100 requests in a measly 10 minutes.
