Me, 1996: No, "Goodtimes" is a hoax, an email can't run computer code or give you a virus

Me, 2000, miserable: Microsoft did something weird and now emails can give you a virus. Bubbleboy is real

Me, 2010: No, the "Enhance" bit from CSI is not real. There aren't algorithms that can add information to an image.

Me, 2025, miserable: Microsoft did something weird and now the "Enhance" button is real, but the details are fake. Law enforcement IS using it and innocent people will go to prison

Who cares what microsoft is doing? Who uses products from USA? Use Unix Light, or Linux Open source.

@feich see the thing is some of us schmucks are unlucky enough to actually live here, and we have to care about what microsoft is doing because microsoft is collaborating with law enforcement and therefore determines whether we go to prison

Prison is expensive for the state, workers are needed and taxes. So, no taxes should be paid.

@feich ah yes, let me just do a tax evasion. i'm sure that will work out wonderfully for me as i get sent to prison.

oh right, sorry. strikes only work if everyone does them, don't they? all i have to do is convince everyone in the entire country not to pay their taxes. seems simple enough. once that's done, they won't be able to arrest us all, they won't have the prison space or the money. of course, they also won't have the money for any of the social programs my tax dollars currently support, and the people who depend on those programs will likely die, but hey, at least we're not funding the largest military on earth anymore! that's good, right?

Sanktionen gegen Deutsche: Die Wiedererfindung der Reichsacht

Je länger man über die Aufnahme von Alina Lipp und Thomas Röper auf die EU-Sanktionsliste nachdenkt, desto gravierender wird der damit vollzogene Rechtsbruch. Man muss sich die konkreten Folgen in Deutschland vorstellen, um die wahre Bedeutung zu erfassen.

@feich This article, written in German about things happening in Germany, that barely mentions taxes at all, makes a remarkably poor argument for committing tax evasion in the United States.

Would you care to present a better one?

(By the way, for future reference, when you link to a news article in a debate, you're supposed to provide a summary of the relevant parts and use the article to back up your claims, not use the article instead of an argument. It's considered *extremely* poor form to write a comment consisting exclusively of a link and expect your opponent to read the whole thing to find out why you disagree with them, doubly so when the article is in a different language than the debate and they also have to run it through a translator first.)

@feich In the above scenario, if the *government* is using Microsoft "AI" products, then I could be falsely criminally charged or denied health care because of decisions the "AI" made, without me ever purchasing or using the Microsoft software myself.
