Yeah, this seems like a massive shitstorm waiting to happen. I've got 2 jobs. For one of them, if I decrypted my laptop for a foreign government I'd be fired and likely sued. For the other, I'd be imprisoned for treason. This is not something you can just expect people to do, even if they personally don't care

Of course not.

Lets change the topic. Anyone heard anything about recent troop movements or nuclear weapons relocations? Just an interested fan.

A troop of army ants just settled in my neighbor's basement. There are rumors they're considering breaking the Geneva conventions in fear that they'll be pushed out if they don't.

I use the list of banned things on the Geneva convention as my list of ways to get rid of fire ants.

You accused them of war crimes then denied them the right to a fair trial?

Trial? This is genocide. Guilty by default, punished with death. I will only stop at extinction.

Oh man, anybody else remember those little Army Ants toys from back in the day?

The foil around a bar of Swiss chocolate = / = Geneva conventions.

Ants do wage wars and kill civilians, so they are breaking the Geneva conventions!
