There are only a few comments currently and I don’t see anything particularly disagreeable. Maybe link to one?

I mean… Christmas Vacation?

Just like a forest, sometimes it is the best medicine.

That doesn’t make sense in this case. The opposite in fact, as pointed out in the text. They removed the link that leads to that scenario. So now they just use a slightly different player to get that behavior.

I was a fan of the Nintendo version.

Maybe. Have any evidence of that or should we all just believe what you’re telling us?

I was sitting at my computer one night watching standup way too late. I was thinking, “I should move my bitcoin off the exchange into my local wallet.” But I was too sleepy and I just went to bed like an idiot, ignoring my gut. The next morning I found out that in the last few hours Mt. Gox had gone crazy and my wallet had been emptied. Still think of that regularly. I get emails from the trustee doling out what they get back but I was rejected. Doesn’t matter how much but it was enough that my life would look very different. Very.

But I like my life so maybe for the better.

What was the second strike?

Either can come from the government or the community.

That has a nice ring to it.

Same. Got them from my old retired draft engineer papa.

Can do more than just multiplication, too.

I say the wealth bit with tongue in cheek, but I mean as some function of wealth distribution or gdp. There is some amount of wealth that is too much and really hurts society to be hoarded. I agree with you though and share your views on the points you made.

You can say “I’m anti x except in y circumstance.” You just can. You saying this prevents you from being anti that thing is just foolish in my view. Saying I’m anti abortion or anti choice in some cases are both things that can be both said and believed. That’s the point.

And to say that one is either absolutely anti or not anti at all is a false dichotomy. It is possible to be anti anything to some extent along a gradient.

To be clear, I’m against capital punishment on the grounds that governments regularly convict innocent people. But I also don’t think the law should protect people with some amount of wealth.

Tell me about your view on abortion. Not okay from conception or okay until 18 years of age? What a bullshit false dichotomy. It is possible to say I support something to this point. That doesn’t make you pro this or anti that. Nuance does exist.

No, just for all those to which I have applied, I have been offered the gig. It isn’t many: a few as a teenager and 7 since I left the military. But I’ve just been really fortunate, and not been rejected.

I have never not gotten the job.

Different parts of the government. Both existed then and now. There has for a long time been a substantial portion of the government, especially defense and intelligence, that rely on encrypted comms and storage.

Tommy Lee Jones is gay.

They are just buttons, and you have volition. If you use the down arrow as “agree” and up arrow as “I hate your family” it still works. The aggregate of community usage of buttons give them meaning.
