    It is absurd to refer to this person as “Discord admin”.

    It’s like saying “email-address owner gets 15 years for…”.

      I guess it’s because his Discord server was where he leaked them? I feel like someone who doesn’t use Discord could read this headline and assume he worked for the company, though.

      Trump got 4 years of presidency in the US, which is definitely the more extreme punishment. It’s something I would never wish upon my worst enemy

        If I were a narcissist like Trump then I would love to be the President: I could set up all my family and friends with 7 figure jobs, I’d buy a hotel and then force the SS to rent out the entire building at 10x the normal rates, I could spend most of my time golfing, I could chat with my buddy Putin on the phone every day, etc.

        Are there shitty parts to the job? Sure, but is it better than being a powerless wage slave to a soulless corporation? Absolutely yes.

      It’s like you’re going straight from the later period corrupt Roman Republic to one of the ineffectual incest emperors.

    Situation - You run a discord server for alt right and weirdly obsessed about the military dudes. You have a secret clearance. Do you -

    [ ] Share secret intel with people who have no need to see or know about it

    [ ] Do nothing

    Note: There are no political or military reasons to share this info, only ego boosting yourself. 30 seconds on the clock.

    Honestly I question the sanity of allowing a child to have an actual clearanced job and not brag about it to his friends. Mentally you’re pretty much a kid until you’re about 25 or so if you’re AMAB.

    I’m concerned that higher clearances aren’t checking people for signs of stupid viewpoints before they’re cleared.
