"Siffert tried to lay this outrageous load of balls on the jury using a faux-folksy analogy. "When your refrigerator breaks down, if you're not mechanically inclined, you're at the mercy of that repair person," he told the jury. "And if he repairs the refrigerator, makes it work well, charges you a fair price, you're likely to call on him again when the stove breaks." What he was essentially telling jurors was: This shit is complicated, so best just to leave it to the experts. Whether they're fixing a fridge or fixing a bond rate, they get to set the price, because we're all morons who are dependent on them to make our world work. Siffert, in his scuzzy way, was actually telling us an essential economic truth: You're at the mercy of that repair person."

Best quote so far that explains everything.  Man 

[Euld]

A woman who lost both boobs to cancer is not allowed to swim topless.  Doesn't matter that she's as flat-chested as a child (no offense meant) and doesn't even have nipples.  Doesn't matter that wearing a top would give her pain because of her scars.  Even weirder, she would be allowed to swim if she just told everyone she was actually a man.  Not kidding.  The sight of a topless, breastless woman is apparently too much for her city to handle.

[ChairmanPoo]

I have to ask: why would it matter that she swam topless even if she had boobs? Why can men swim topless while women can't?

[Descan]

Because the further away from your heart a nipple is, the deadlier it is.

Isn't that obvious?

Prudish moralists protecting Family Values.

Eeyup. Fuck "Family Values."

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

See, it's like "if we don't get caught we didn't do anything wrong," except the people using the immature excuse are high-ranking government officials with the power to spy on and detain people.

[Truean]

If I'm decoding the doublespeak right: "It would violate your privacy if we said we spied on you."

Translation: "Aside from the obvious that we don't wanna get caught etc, it would expose you as a public curiousity if we told people we spied on you....The actual fact that we spied on you is a thing that should remain private for your sake...."

I.... It just....

[Frumple]

Oh, it's not even that... the guys requesting the information weren't even asking for a who, just a how many. They were saying it'd violate people's privacy to state the approximate number of people they've been spying on.

This literally makes zero sense.

Besides the obvious agenda of the NSA wanting to keep peephole rights :|

This literally makes zero sense.

In fact it makes a negative amount of sense. So much good sense has been undone by these actions.

Well hang on now, maybe they're going for the circular universe theory of making sense.

It's drafted by the subcommittee on things that are so stupid they're smart. You know how sometimes when you get the super high score on a video game, the thing just fliped back over to zero? Or how you can drive a car so much that the odometer spins around to zero again?

Well sometimes these guys say something so dumb, it's brilliant. Don't think this is one of those times but yeah.  Maybe they were TRYING for that?

So now that you know about this obscure branch of government, write your congressmen, solicit your senator, get involved, or throw a trash can through a plateglass window*.

*Truean definately does not endorse the throwing of trashcans or other objects through plate glass windows, especially the ones near or that are part of my her office.

Ah, data underflow.
