Yeah, that’s the wrong word. “Extracted” or “looted” or “stole” are all more appropriate.

If it’s “use my name a likeness, maybe my voice work,” I’m not mad, it’s people paying to do stuff the devs would need to pay someone else to do instead. If it’s “I have some ideas how this story should go” I’d be a bit more concerned.
I’d work on forestation, planting permaculture food forests.
Outside of Florida, cholera and syphilis are more popular than DeSantis.
If you’re referring to dollars given/promised to “charity,” a huge amount of that is done in a way that protects assets from taxes but primarily benefits the donor or the donor’s offspring.
Example: Warren Buffet has billions he has pledged to charity. However, when he dies it goes into a private charitable trust that conveniently employs his children and pays them millions a year for “administration” duties. The trust can donate stocks to charities, and there is a tax exemption for the “value” of the donation, reducing the tax burden of the trust further. Billionaire charity in the USA is a nearly-complete fiction which is actually more in line with the behavior discussed in this article.
Did he actually defend that subreddit or is it more of a general “this happened and he didn’t do anything about it until he had no choice?”
Even better if you could build your own room in Roblox and arrange furniture until you figured out what pieces you wanted and where to put them.
Purge the infidels from the earth. God may forgive them but we never can.
Or, you know, a school. You know, where there are children? Maybe children who have physical limitations who have been called gimps?
Oh well, who cares about the educational environment and getting kids exposed to FOSS options instead of commercial software?
I think the only reason that some people say they like it is because of the association with, you know, a new car.
I’m a death penalty opponent but cases like this remind me why a lot of people aren’t.
Boy it would be a tragedy if 30-50 feral hogs trampled Ken Paxton into a paste.
Dammit, can we see criticism from someone who isn’t a monster and doesn’t refer to antisemitic tropes in their criticism?
You stated that the INR would have rigged an election. That is just as false as saying the FBI rigged a foreign election, that’s not what those agencies do.
Does the US fuck with the domestic affairs of other nations? Of course. Does the INR play a role in that behavior? Sure. Does that role include rigging elections? Absolutely not. They might suggest it, but the CIA would most likely do the dirt, the same way the CIA may be involved with armed insurrectionists but it’s going to be spec ops operators doing the training.
She said it in 2006, when she was a senator, not the Secretary of State. So I’d argue she absolutely did not mean “we” as “the state department.” She likely meant “we” as “the United States Government.” Either way, at the time she would not have been in a position to tell anyone to rig the election, being a democratic senator with a republican in the White House.
This agency that has zero foreign assets or any function beyond analyzing raw intelligence gathered by other agencies? They were going to fix an election?
Did you read the article? Ham-handedly manipulating foreign elections is clearly stated as within the jurisdiction of the CIA.
Isn’t there a journalism rule about not having a headline be a question with a yes or no answer? Seems like there should be.
The standard for criminal trials is “beyond a reasonable doubt.” There’s a whole speech in To Kill a Mockingbird about it.
Jeez, reading how the people were killed makes me wonder what the motive was. I’m assuming that with a group doing the deed it’s not just a psychopath.
Speaking as an American, I am completely unsurprised this happened. In fact I am certain that this is maybe .001% of the number of cops who have used this tool for personal purposes. I’d bet $100 if you got into it, this particular cop pissed off someone in his department and that’s why we know about his misuse of the tool.
