Feds say plot was bigger than kidnapping Gov. Whitmer. It was civil war attempt. (Michigan) by Nemacolin in news

| The plot, however, (was) foiled following a federal investigation that involved paid undercover informants

That makes me slightly suspicious as to the veracity of the charges against them

| The last one was a major embarrassment for the federal government as it ended with the vindication of all the defendants

| In the end, the judge concluded, there was not proof of a real plot to overthrow the government or kill police, but people engaging in tough talk

Sounds much more likely than an actual plan to start a civil war by kidnapping a governor and killing police.

Great question. Slashdot.org has been using a slithering scale system of tiered voting for years. It's become a chaotic hellhole.

It works in principle. Users get five mod points to rate a post on a scale of -5 to +5 from troll to insightful. Mod points are allocated to those who participate and have positive karma. Slashcode is open source I think, you can check out the inner workings for yourself.

Saidit has gone the stolen code route. This is a house of cards. I respect what the admins do and what a cool place this is but if this place gets big enough the Lawyers are gonna come calling and take this joint apart. They lawyers can shut it down, the servers can be moved to a more accommodating jurisdiction, ehh

Even rotating moderator status doesn't work. The Pyramid doesn't work. It's like Communism. It only functions if everyone agrees to adhere to the system and you eliminate everyone who doesn't adhere to it

We went to concerts and galleries and exhibitions. To-do's with actors and sportsmen and producers. She talked me up big, and I did the same for her. I thought we were in love. I was making plans, big plans to move to a nice place and start a family.

I logged into her accounts, for whaterver reason. I had my suspicions.

It was just dick, dick, dick, pussy, dick. Hookups.

They demolish old casinos on the Las Vegas strip all the time to make way for new, more profitable casinos often owned by the same corps. Trump Plaza didn't go belly up. It wasn't profitable after a time and Trump wanted to sell it for more than it was worth. There's nothing remarkable about it. He did some tax dodging that was totally illegal and had to pay a massive fine, but he paid the fine. Justice served.

They close old grocery stores, like a Kroger or Safeway, just to open a new one less than a mile away. The new one has higher prices, a more favorable lease, and brings in more profits for a few years. Then when it needs costly repairs they tear it down and build a new grocery store closer to the new housing development a mile away charge high prices and a more favorable lease... ad infinitum

I think it's fucked, but that's the way it works.
