  • Eh, not to be ‘that girl’ but the context of this article doesn’t seem to match the title. What he’s saying is that if the government WANTS to keep it’s activities constitutional, meaning they will succeed in any later litigation, they need detailed information before each and every strike so they can make wise decisions.

    His argument is that only HIS company can provide that detailed information…so the government needs to keep paying them.

    Ragebait?

    “Part of the reason why I like this questioning is the more constitutional you want to make it, the more precise you want to make it, the more you’re going to need my product,” Karp said. His reasoning is that if it’s constitutional, you would have to make 100% sure of the exact conditions it’s happening in, and in order to do that, the military would have to use Palantir’s technology, for which it pays roughly $10 billion under its current contract.









  • While I know you are all good intelligent people who source your info before posting, I JUST had this argument with some people and figured I’d copy paste the literal facts for your easy consumption. Shout it far and wide, everyone.

    I’m gonna edit this to include the oath, and then include the segment of the Code of Military Justice. I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

    10 U.S.C. § 892 (Article 92 – Failure to obey order or regulation) “Any person subject to this chapter who— (1) violates or fails to obey any lawful general order or regulation; (2) having knowledge of any other lawful order issued by a member of the armed forces, which it is his duty to obey, fails to obey the order; or (3) is derelict in the performance of his duties; shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

    Now two points. 1) Which comes first in the oath, the Constitution or the President? 2) Point ONE in the Uniform code says and I repeat 'violates or fails to obey any LAWFUL general order.










  • For my part as a kid, anything that was scary wasn’t just scary in a classical sense but because it was fast, violent, and unrecognizable. Nowadays most of what’s scary is easily recognizable and I think many of us have spent time thinking about just how we’d react in that situation. (Whether or not it would work, mind you xD). Now, real horror… not the silly shit in the movies… still retains some of that ‘magic’. (I hate myself for calling this magic, I hate it haha). Indie horror video games exemplify this horror, imo, because it’s almost completely fabricated from someone’s imagination that’s not mainstream at all… it jumps out at you and in a split second you have to friend/foe it.

    I watch Hollow play these games (cuz no thank you), in attempt to ‘normalize’ more and more so I can just enjoy a quiet evening in the dark with a smile.
