harvested data early on without consent

when you harvest something from someone else without consent, that would be like me bringing my combine harvester over to your field and taking your crop while you weren’t home.

there are words for that, aren’t there? i think it is called “stealing”. or how about “theft”?

I’m told that’s imaginary. Billions in sales says otherwise.

I’m saying they started selling harvested data early on without consent and that’s evil.

Coming the Trainlord, that’s rich. Nothing is more evil than trains.

Trains don’t take things without permission. Well eminent domain but that’s a process.

Instead you pay to get stuff moved. If you ask for it. Nicely. And have your money ready.

Evil cannot be avoided. It must be defeated.

Trains go on tracks, it shouldn’t be that hard for them to not fall off the tracks and blow up.

Those guys were losers. And looks like the shipper didn’t disclose the volatility.

How do you differentiate these “losers” from the rest of big rail? All the same to me.

It’s basically like Al-Qaeda pointing to the Islamic State and saying “Look, they’re bigger assholes than us!”

Obviously, but my point was just that they’re all terrorists in the end.

That’s nice, since 1830s job titles in practice means you just have to deal.

that’s only because the related terms “satanist”, “socialist”, and “communist” had not yet entered common parlance!
