The sanctions on the ICC judges were just one of a number of illegal things that the Trump admin has done, including their attacks on fishing boats in the Caribbean and the killing of the survivors of those attacks.
A judge ruled that these sanctions were illegal and ordered the Trump admin not to enforce them, but the Trump admin refuses to stop doing illegal things.
I haven’t seen a single example. You’ve hand-waved things that you think maybe sometimes do happen, but no examples of it actually happening.
Debanking, afaik, is more of just something government agencies do at their discretion
Can you provide an example of that happening?
There’s also the way it bypasses many of the protections and assurances we have about the latter, like due process.
How does it bypass due process?
Easy rule, don’t put anything in the oven that doesn’t belong in the oven
Who’s to say what belongs in the oven?
For example, bread recipes sometimes tell you to proof the bread by putting it in the oven with the heat off but the light on. There are similar recipes for making yogourt. Or it can be a good place to dry seeds.
Those things “belong” in the oven. But if you turn on the oven without taking them out you might be very sad. That can happen if you’re turning on the oven in person, but it’s easier to verify the oven is empty when you’re doing that.
It’s an alternative to using more serious threats, like physical violence. The state can freeze your bank accounts to get you to comply with its demands, or it can send a SWAT team in to arrest you.
disrupt the logistics of protests
Again. This wasn’t just a protest.
Especially if you forgot that “X” was still in the oven, for various values of “X”.
Then again, a well designed smart oven might include a burn sensor that would shut the thing off if the smoke got too bad.

They could have just used the pen and paper with no cash.
The people who side with the so-called “trucker convoy” that was mostly non-truckers defend it as simply being “free speech”, and “being critical”.
But, what actually happened is that the so-called “truckers” occupied downtown Ottawa for weeks, including areas with high-rise residential buildings. They prevented any traffic from moving, and harassed anybody who came nearby that weren’t part of the occupation. They also leaned on their horns at night keeping people nearby from being able to sleep. Eventually two of the organizers of the occupation were tried and convicted for “mischief”, a crime that can lead to up to 10 years in prison. They got off extremely light with home detention for 1 year and another 6 months of a 10 pm curfew.
Fallout boy?
Why do you think you’d be able to buy groceries with cash if the power grid goes down?
For example: in Canada, the bank accounts of those who protested were literally frozen (for simply speaking out or being critical)
Yeah… try using that lie on people who live in Ottawa, see how it goes.
Right to repair laws would help things so much. If you didn’t like the firmware that came with the car, you could install alternative firmware. If the dealer sold a car that was known to have some terrible components, there would be a business opportunity for a car modder who would buy factory vehicles from the dealer and replace the most trouble-prone parts, then re-sell the car with a slight mark-up.
It used to be that when it came to high performance cars, there were groups like Alpine, AMG, Abarth, Shelby, Saleen, etc. They were often race teams, or associated with race teams. Sometimes they would buy stock cars and modify them for racing, or at least modify them for high performance. But, most of those have now been brought into the company most associated with them. Mercedes owns AMG, Alpine is part of Renault, etc. I would bet one reason that this is not as common anymore is that cars are heavily computerized, and the computers can use DRM to restrict anybody but the original manufacturer from modifying them.
That’s the difficult thing about reviewing the durability of things. If you want to talk about whether something will last for years and years, you have to wait years to publish the review. By the time the review is out, they might no longer sell the model that was being reviewed. In some cases, the company might have been sold to a private equity investor who is just milking the brand’s goodwill before the value tanks.
How much is that going to cost you? I know long term it will probably save you money, but I would bet that the cost is triple the stuff you buy in a big box store.
There are probably times when the way restaurants do things isn’t appropriate for home cooking. For example, I read about commercial woks vs woks for home use. Woks used in restaurants tend to be thin and lightweight. They’re meant to be used with immensely powerful wok burners used in restaurants, and are light partially because a chef using a wok for hours and hours wants something as light as possible. If you’re a home cook, a heavier wok with a flatter bottom might work better because your stove probably can’t get as hot as a commercial wok burner. The flatter bottom means it heats better on the kinds of stove used at home, and is more steady when set down. The thickness helps it retain heat when it’s removed from the stove or when ingredients are added. A home chef doesn’t have to keep lifting the thing hour after hour, so the extra weight is ok.
A commercial fridge and commercial freezer sound great though. They seem to be built more and more delicately these days.
computer networking hardware which will eventually be outdated and no longer get security updates
I don’t think that means that the correct approach is for the manufacturer to build in obsolescence. Sometimes the security threats don’t matter to some users, so they should be allowed to accept the risk and keep using the item. Or, there could be a rule in place that if the company no longer wants to maintain something, it is required to release the source to maintain it.
There’s no comma there. They use it as punctuation at the end of a sentence:
e.g.: “I heard your mother died I’m sorry lol”
Are you even more worried about the failure of possible legal protections when the government decides to use the navy to sink fishing boats and come back to kill the survivors?
There’s a limit to what you can do when the house and senate refuse to impeach a president who is obviously breaking the law constantly, and when the justice department sees itself as the president’s lawyer.
