The personal data of 2.9 billion people, which includes full names, former and complete addresses going back 30 years, Social Security Numbers, and more, was stolen from National Public Data by a cybercriminal group that goes by the name USDoD. The complaint goes on to explain that the hackers then tried to sell this huge collection of personal data on the dark web to the tune of $3.5 million. It's worth noting that due to the sheer number of people affected, this data likely comes from both the U.S. and other countries around the world.

What makes the way National Public Data did this more concerning is that the firm scraped personally identifiable information (PII) of billions of people from non-public sources. As a result, many of the people who are now involved in the class action lawsuit did not provide their data to the company willingly.

What exactly makes this company so different from the hacking group that breached them? Why should they be treated differently?

Better than yanks who you can depend on to drag you into a pointless war halfway across the world.

You've dragged us into more wars than you've defended us in. This idea that there are hordes of hostile countries just salivating at invading us across three oceans is a joke.

In fact, the most significant threat to our safety is your trainwreck of a country deciding it likes fascism actually and doing a Sudetanland to us.

Yeah, a lot of capitalist realism, the way we do things now is the best possible way we could be doing them bullshit. No vision whatsoever.

Not Shapiro? Netanyahu must be feeling pretty nervous this morning.

There was more to WW1 starting than Franz Ferdinand getting shot, too. They are sarcastically skewering people's simplistic understanding of the causes of those two conflicts.

This is basically like if back in 2015 after Trump insulted Ted Cruz's wife, Cruz became his VP pick and defended the insults, haha. Totally spineless, no limit to how far he will debase himself and his family for a position in the administration.

The weird thing works because it elicits them to defend themselves and, because their beliefs are in fact weird as hell, they do so in the most awkward ways. Turning off normies who might have some reactionary sympathy but are on the fence. Calling them slurs or just mean things isn't going to work in the same way. It's not like no one has ever called them cowards or assholes before.

No way that wasn't intentional. They could have off centred it even just a bit to ruin the effect if they wanted.

Sure thing.

Factually incorrect. In 2022, about 40.26 percent of all family households in the United States had their own children under age 18 living in the household. To be clear, when I say “children”, I mean by age too, I’m not concerned about giving 80 yr-olds with 50yr-old children more voting power.

Your assertion was that, "Parents have a greater stake in our nations future". Do people suddenly stop caring about the future when their children move out? Perhaps you don't think parents of adult children should have extra votes but you suggested that they care more about the future and the totality of people who have children is still greater than those who do not, putting that class in the driver's seat.

talking like this just tells me you’re unserious about this conversation. I have no further desire to engage with you

More like your stances are weak and unsupportable and you want an easy exit.

A) Having children is by far more common than not having children. If sperm donors/receivers are so much more fundamentally concerned with the future how did they let the climate issue become a crisis? You all have been in the driver's seat and you fucked it up.

B) I have likely another ~40ish years left on this Earth. Towards the end of that time there's a good chance I'm going to be reliant on people your children's age for, at the very least, medical care and possibly other elder care depending on how my health turns out. That being the case, I'm quite invested in the next generation being well qualified to provide that, thanks.

C) Thinking that people will only care about how things turn out for future generations if they have children of their own to care about is telling on yourself pretty hard. Kind of the same energy as people who think everyone would rape and pillage if they didn't have a fear of God keeping them in check.
