      Honestly good satire. A lot of law enforcement tactics, statistical based policing, and psychoanalyzing is intentionally using high false positive rate tests (like something like this would be) in order to justify going after whoever they feel like.

        Oh absolutely. Honestly, the reason I wanted to make it clear was that I couldn't tell without searching the full headline

        As far as I knew, US intelligence didn't have that specific spying infrastructure, but I wouldn't have been shocked considering precedents like Cointelpro & Friends

          It's entirely believable. Modern always online games record a huge amount of telemetry about what the player is doing at all times.

    It's amazing what you can predict when you don't care how high the false positive rate is.

        Just stick everyone that works for the ABC ghouls on a watch list and you'll have a 100% list of current and future sociopaths

    Imagine being the guy that has to comb through steam database logs to find out which players kill the most prostitutes in GTA or some shit and then having to cross reference their behavior with any of their online text communications or some shit. Having your job be to submerge yourself in the darkest corners of reactionary internet culture has to be an extreme form of psychic damage.

        Nah that's the kind of job that is given to some low level data analyst. They have just as much a chance as anyone else in government or law enforcement to have their mind shattered by peaking behind the curtain.

      Gonna be honest, I side with the Stormcloaks purely because I don't like the armor on Imperial soldiers.

    So the fed’s premise is:

    behaviors toward NPCs predict behaviors toward other human beings in real life

    So the feds think that other humans are just NPCs in their lives?

    Who’s the sociopath here … ?!

    Please let the fact I adopt children and give gifts to them and good gear to my thanes and help the homeless make up for the fact I cast fury and necromancy on mudcrabs to make them fight each other every time I find them in a group. or use arvel's convection on weak enemies because I know they'll die faster than I will and the spell costs no magic(but only deals 1 damage per second.) Or just everything I have done in Markarth(cursed city). And everyone I have killed for Daedra. In all fairness, I did make my character drown himself out of guilt the last time I played.

      Also I cast fury on NPCs I don't like so the guards can kill them for me.

    If they don't have a unique name, they're getting stealth killed and looted sorry. Gotta get NCR dog tags somehow.
