  • I didn’t mean a specific state, I just wanted to imply that terrorists backed by a state - with the money and connections that encompasses - would have the means to do this.

    I currently don’t see any state that would wish to cripple the internet. That would hurt indiscriminately.

    Perhaps in the future, before a planned attack, to sow chaos. So China or Russia perhaps.

    Perhaps North Korea, but I don’t think they have the power or knowledge to do something like that and China would get mad.

    Perhaps Superman has cheat days? You know, to stay sane?

    Police Chief: “So we release these people and you hunt them for sports?”

    Superman: “Pretty much, yeah. It’s my cheat day!”

    Police Chief: “But with your super speed and x-ray vision they really have no chance!”

    Superman: “Do the animals have a chance when you hunt them? It’s just for fun!”

    Police Chief: “But why Republican politicians?”

    Superman: “Even on my cheat day, I still like to do good.”

    The checks and balances were destroyed when the supreme court elevated the president over the law. And even before that money and corporate interest had influenced the laws against the people.

    The supreme court is corrupt. We know that, yet nothing was done. The president is a criminal, yet nothing was done. The elections are influenced and the election law is outdated and unjust. Yet nothing was done.

    It gets worse under Republicans and next to nothing changes under Democrats.


  • Of course a hand drawn image by someone who can draw well is better - the artist practiced for years and took hours to draw this. On the other hand whoever took second place used a few minutes and had no training to produce something that was probably quite nice, too.

    It’s this ‘everybody can produce art in seconds’ that is both good and bad. On the one hand I like how I can get a image of whatever I want for pennies, on the other hand I can understand how artist fear devaluation of their art.
