Why they wouldn’t want to please previous administrations?

Those administrations weren't targeting them.

I think it's always about the money, plain and simple. If there is a threat to their gravy train, they will bend over backwards to keep it going. Otherwise, they don't care about you.

I find it disappointing that people interested in privacy would have such little respect for a private individual’s right to have their own thoughts.

Ding ding ding.

It seems the vast majority of people do NOT want to allow speech they don't like, no matter the consequences. That requires too much forward thinking. Excuse me while I watch history repeat itself...

does echo 3 | sudo touch /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches change the available RAM at all when this happens?

I would rather be beautiful because then I wouldn't realize everyone else around me is so unfathomably stupid.

Please re-read the last line I wrote.

Yes I think intelligence is a spectrum and that neither side is more "correct" than the other.

I think there's good and bad ideas from both sides depending on your perspective, and we have to concede that nobody has all the answers, and that we don't know what we don't know.

I don't see it so much a political division as it is that most of the world is simply not very intelligent.

I'm just pointing out that both sides think the other is dumb.

And I don't think either side is correct.

but the right says the same about the left

this is no different than the right calling the left mentally ill.

both of you think you're right, and I think the real answer is nobody is right.

"As a rule, strong feelings about issues do not emerge from deep understanding."

how is buying drugs reducing their suffering?

because someone's political opinion doesn't (usually) define who they are or even affect the rest of your family in any way.

this is like kicking your son out because they put pineapple on their pizza.
