Virtually any company big enough to make a worthwhile phone is going to do terrible things. Think a given company is an exception? They won’t be once they get larger.

That being said, the fact that “everybody does it” doesn’t make it okay. The “blue vs green bubble” shit is nonsense that’s totally unnecessary.

It’s extremely difficult to have ethics while being involved in a capitalist system which is inherently unethical. Genuinely giving a damn and putting people ahead of profits is seen as a liability.

I’m sorry I don’t have any advice to give.

I’m glad he took a moment to specify the difference between pessimism and doomism.

I readily admit that I’m a quiet pessimist… but I also hope I’m wrong, and I still think we should do everything possible to combat climate change.

They probably get away with it because it isn’t really “cheese” as most people define it.

When I started typing, I thought that was a joke, but now I’m genuinely curious.

I had the idea (source: fictional TV) that ALL cops had to be trained at a police academy before becoming cops. That’s not the case?

At first I thought this was kinda silly, but then I realized that the silliness only multiplies its awesomeness

lol good answer

How difficult is it not to act on your feelings? How angry do you get at (god, nature, the universe, whatever) for burdening you with something so universally reviled?

I gotta admit, I’m a little freaked out, but your tone and straightforward honesty has helped quite a bit.

I’m sure the feds are asking where and from whom he got it. They’ve got a lot of leverage now.

As for how they found it, they probably had a warrant to search all his electronic devices for other domestic terrorism stuff. Whoops! Looks like he ignored the “only break one law at a time” rule.

First, according to the family, the Russian bank where they moved the proceeds from selling their farm and belongings? It immediately froze their assets.

The parents (but not the kids) deserve it. They’re also doing a great job of showing their kids what extremist ideology gets you.

The only good thing to come out of this is that the cop quit. I hope he’s billed for the damage to the car anyway.
