Not just the government, lol.
Look at any comment section under a post about Ukraine. Nobody cares whether some particular russian supports the war or not. Either they’re at fault for supporting it, or they are at fault for not doing enough to stop it.

That’s why they (and others) wrote the “smoke cover” loophole into international law.
They just don’t clarify that the “smoke cover” happens inside of their victim’s lungs, as well as other body cavities after the phosphorus burns through the skin.


Pretty much everyone is a real criminal, it’s just that most crimes are so minor that they are ignored (see: jaywalking, speeding, putting ice cream in your pocket). In some cases, the laws exist to provide a fig leaf for the powers that be when they want to fuck with someone.

That skill is not very common.


This is a style that I first noticed with Archer, and it is very hard to do well. I enjoyed Archer, I enjoyed some of Rick and Morty, but I also recognize that I’d refuse to engage with someone like that in real life. Iasip takes it to the extreme of being genuinely unpleasant.
I have found one specific use case where ML has helped quite a bit: finding trends in massive databases with tons of variables.
