...and when he shows up in court, drunk.

I have ADHD, which means I have to go to a psychiatrist every three months to refill my prescription. It's silly, really but required by law.

Before he died suddenly of an aneurysm, my former psychiatrist was fascinated with me. He said it was because I'm always so jovial... Which I understand now is something of an oddity at a psychiatrist's office 🤣

Anyway, because if this, he would often give me tests and puzzles to develop "a baseline". Apparently so he wouldn't lose his own mind from the more extreme patients he often dealt with 😁

I signed his forms (it was all above board) and he'd test my reaction time, run me through various questionaires about my thoughts, and time how long it would take me to solve simple puzzles. Only challenging one was one of those "fold the boxes in your mind" tests which I assume I aced (that's my jam!)

I didn't mind at all! It was actually quite fun working with his staff and psychiatrists in training who were the ones who were always there, recording the results. I would make jokes like, "I've been practicing my jumping!" Then pretend to be disappointed that they were only going to ask me questions and not test my jumping ability.

I was the lab rat. Probably the control lab rat but it was still fun and interesting. The best perk was that when I walked into his office, the receptionist would notice me and send me right to the back. No matter how many people were sitting there, waiting.

There were snacks, but only for children ☹️

Now that I think about it, the various tests and questions could've been a ruse! They were actually testing my willpower, sitting next to bowls of mini packages of M&Ms and Reese's the entire time! 🤔

Now I'm imagining his notes:

"Subject 294 still hasn't taken or attempted to steal any candy. Despite timing his appointment precisely around lunch time and keeping him here for an extra half an hour. He's still laughing and joking with the staff. I may have to order an ice cream machine."

These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts...

No. They were not fraudulent. They were just accounts.

Fraudulent accounts would be something like using a stolen credit card number or using someone else's real world ID info when you're not that person.

That's like saying this "riskable" account is fraudulent because I didn't use my real name when I signed up.

Also remember that violating a TOS is not a criminal offense. That's a civil thing that can be fought in courts or via arbitration (if the TOS requires it). The CFAA has long since been severely neutered on that front.

This is how the software works:

Missing:

• A game console
• All the maps in the world + compass
• Gigantic notepad
• Calendar
• Entire stack of catalogs
• Newspapers
• Thermostat
• A whole fucking supercomputer
• An entire building-sized stack of photo albums
• Flashlight
• An sycophant assistant who makes shit up just to keep you happy.

I'm thinking Miku Miku oooweeeoooh.

That's a great question! Normally the Executive branch enforces such actions but that's only a convenience. The judge in question can sanction the Trump administration in any number of other ways... Such as ordering courts to freeze (or seize!) their assets.

It would be an interesting situation if the judge froze or seized cabinet members or Trump's personal assets though. It's much more likely the Judicial branch would sort of seize (financial) control over these broken agencies by appointing special administrators. They would be well within their rights to do so!

Congress doesn't like it? They need to pick a winner by impeaching one of them. Except there's a big problem with impeaching a judge for such a ruling: The next judge that comes along might continue with the previous setup or rule exactly the same way.

Then what would Congress do? They could just keep impeaching judges but it's unlikely they would be able to actually do that since they don't have a supermajority in the Senate.

My prediction: That's when the Trump administration actually starts to get the military involved and tries to sack the Senate or just attempts to assassinate a few prominent Democrats.

Except he doesn't have the broad support from the people to actually be able to get away with something like that. It would be civil war. Or more like endless insurgency.

That sort of situation would result in all his billionaire friends losing nearly all of their wealth and drastically increases the likelihood of angry mob/guillotine situations.

Then again, I wouldn't put it past them to not really think that far ahead 🤷

Or the most obvious answer of all: Macs have a power button on the keyboard

Such a stupid thing to write about. Must be a really slow news day if they are writing about the location of the power button.

Electric school buses require a fraction of the maintenance costs of traditional diesel buses. Forget extra funding... That fact alone makes them worth it for every school district.

This vastly underestimates the laziness of English speakers. No: It'll be shortened to...
