It's more plausible that he actually was washing his hair than Trump not being a child rapist.

Is there anything you're seeing that indicates Hamas can accomplish anything other than getting more people killed?

Yes, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and Iran often hit civilian targets. And not by accident, they actually target civilians.

How old are you?

I'm no spring chicken and that's way before I was born.

Only Star Trek fans that think it being science fiction makes it better than space fantasy keep saying that. But really both Star Trek and Star Wars are space fantasy, with Star Trek being more fantasy than Star Wars. It's basically Homer's Odyssey but with space ships. They're constantly meeting magical beings that put them into moral quandries.

In Star Wars there's only one magic, and in canon it's the result microscopic organisms that can be measured with technology. Yes it's treated as a religion, but science fiction is about how things affect a society, and people having mind powers probably would be considered like a religion. It's actually strange that (other than the Bajorans) nobody in Star Trek develops religions around the magical powers ever other alien race has.

Mind melds, Q magic, and the Prophets from DS9 are all overt magic. Like why can only Vulcans do mind melds? If it were science you'd be able to create a technology that would be able to do it. But nah in Star Trek, they don't even try to develop technology to do mind melds because it's something everyone knows only Vulcans can do... because it's magic.

When Q was temporarily human, he mentioned being able to change physics constants. Geordi wasn't like "holy shit that totally changes how we think about science" he's just like "we can't do that because we aren't Q."

The powers that aliens have in Star Trek is treated as being magic by the people in the universe. Some aliens just have magical abilities and nobody questions it.

Meanwhile in Star Wars, all of the powers the Jedi have are explained by microscopic organisms that can be measured with a device. Sure nobody likes that, because we actually do want Star Wars to be fantasy and not science fiction. But (for better or worse) Star Wars is more science fiction and Star Trek is more space fantasy.

If I'm clicking around on a website and find a gallery of images, that's something I'm supposed to have access to. If I start typing in URLs that aren't linked anywhere on the site, then I'm accessing stuff the site hasn't explicitly indicated I have access to. If I'm doing this with the intent of getting data and distributing to others, then yeah that would be illegal.

The law allows for someone to exercise judgement. The people who do this are not so coincidentally called Judges. If the 4chan guys had have been white hat and reported the issue to the site owners, then they'd be fine. But it's obvious to anyone their intent was to get private information, they poked around to find some private information, and then distributed that private information to others causing a privacy violation. Yes, it was easier to do than it should have been, but it's obvious they had malicious intent and it's obvious they were accessing information they weren't supposed to access.

A crime being really easy to commit doesn't make it no longer a crime. Many times I've seen things that I could easily steal, but I don't steal things when I have an opportunity to do so because a) stealing is wrong and b) saying "they just left this thing out there in a place anyone could steal it" would not be any kind of legal defense. Simply because you're presented an opportunity to do a crime doesn't mean it's acceptable to do a crime, both legally and morally speaking.
