I (well, supposedly) knew the guy who unleashed SQL Slammer and a small group of friends (into Ragnarok Online hacking/botting) sat around on IRC watching backbone router pings go apeshit until ISPs started blocking it. It was also amusing checking firewall logs to see whose servers were vulnerable.
I have piracy accounts older than my niece and nephew.
Had to call rackspace and get new credentials for a friend in Iraq after that massive raid.
It’s tautological to them. Anything we’d consider evil he did because it creates the most good. All evil, by that view, is in pursuit of the greatest good.
Jesus popping up and drowning children isn’t an imposition of will apparently.
But yeah, there are things you just have to accept that these extremists just take for granted, like they are so chosen/special that they can have the cake and eat it.

It’s always going to be this way. Every election will be an emergency. Every election in my lifetime has been. We’re in an abusive relationship and we need to get out of it. We need to break the duopoly. We need sane polling methods. But, no. Just like they keep us divided they’re keeping us distracted.
They’re both fucking crazy. They’re not the same, but they’re both insane to half the fucking population. That’s their power.
It’s shitty. We’re abused spouses. At some point we have to defeat the fear and either go to a shelter or the street. Until we’re willing to do that, well, enjoy.
