My response is typically, "I have literally everything to hide. I don't want you to know my middle name. I don't want you to know what I had for breakfast. It's none of anyone's business." And weirdly, the resp

The way it should work is that if a government can't do a thing, then they can't pay for the same thing. Remove the demand and the activity will dry up.

In America, we have the fifth amendment, and the right not to divulge any information whatsoever unless we're granted immunity. It is enough to say absolutely nothing, and request the government to prove its case. If someone shot a per

Define theft. If you write a contract and give it to a lawyer with the instruction, "Anyone who satisfies this contract gets this money." And someone satisfies the contract to the lawyer's -but not your- satisfaction, and the

Imagine I write a contract and empower an AI to execute it. I put $10,000 in a bank account and write, "I'd like a nice car." I do this of my own free will, at my own hazard. I know I'm playing this game. I have intentio

Dismissing disagreement as jealousy always bothered me. To think a person is jealous of you requires a lot of ego, like... narcissistic amounts of ego in my opinion. Either that or a world view so small that it can't conceive of other

I am also not a lawyer; I have some background and training in IP law as it pertains to engineering. As far as I can tell, the image you describe and your example sentence are closer than you might think to each other. Mickey Mouse is a cop
