You think I am actually advocating for this nonsense?

As an American I certainly hope not

Pro succession movement in Greenland? I very much doubt it. They can influence all they want, and if they are that only shows imho that they fundamentally misunderstand how other countries work.

I doubt it very much also. But I am saying in concept, if the vast majority of the people in one place don't want to be a part of the country they are part of, in general they should be allowed to leave.

Not surprising. This has been a thing for quite some time, going back into the 2000s and 2010s.

You have a PDF file and you want to redact it. So you draw a black box over what you want to redact. Problem is, PDF works in layers. So you haven't actually blacked out the text, you have just drawn a black box over the text, which is still in the file. This makes it trivially easy for anyone with a PDF editor to simply delete the black box, or with a PDF viewer to just save the file as text and the black box will not be saved with it.

PDF software generally includes an actual redaction tool, which not only draws a black box but removes anything under it. However you have to know this tool exists and how to use it.

This interests me from illegal standpoint though. There are regulations governing what sort of things can and cannot be redacted. If things are being redacted for for political reasons, IE to avoid making Trump look bad, that is now quite easy to prove.

Given that it is a part of our mainland continent, I would be less enthusiastic than if, say, Hawaii or Alaska wanted to secede.

Nonetheless, self-determination is a solidly American value. If an overwhelming majority of Californians wanted to leave the union, then in general I believe the rest of the country should let them. Otherwise we are forcing them to be subject to a national government they don't want.

American here. I'm sure annexing Greenland would be very useful to us for all kinds of reasons. I don't want to do it.

Unless the people in Greenland want to become part of the United States, I don't believe we have any more right to declare Greenland ours than Hitler had a right to declare France his, or Russia has a right to declare Ukraine theirs.

If the people of Greenland want to become part of the United States, verified with an election monitored by multiple disinterested third parties, then by all means welcome to the party guys.

However given the timing of this ridiculous idea, I can't help but think the whole thing is just a distraction from the Epstein files.

Exactly. Athletes should wear whatever they feel will best compliment their performance. The only requirement should be it carries the team colors and logos and their player number.

The officers approached the trailer outside the tire shop, breached the trailer doors and found McDaniel hiding under his bed, the affidavit states.

We just need to remind the Master Race that there's monsters in the bedroom at night. That'll do it :P

I have wasted so much of my life on watching commercials, I refuse to waste anymore.

This, 100% this.

Every streaming I have I pay the few extra bucks for ad free. Keep that fucking garbage out of my house.

The crazy thing is, none of these articles seem to want to admit that AI is bad.

As the old quote goes- "A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him saying, "You are mad, you are not like us.""

In such an environment, nobody wants to admit they are not mad, lest they be attacked.

Or as someone else said- I want a future where machines cook and clean and do menial work, so us humans can focus on art and poetry and writing. Instead we have a world where machines create art and poetry and books, so the humans can focus on cleaning and menial work. I don't like this timeline.

Exactly this. I would love to see just one tech company stand up and say we are not doing AI, our AI budget is $0 and our product will not ship with AI. If you really want to use AI with our system you can download a plug-in or something but we won't waste our time writing one.

They would get a million users overnight.
