Oh look, another vegan with an agenda. Seriously, go fuck yourself. You eat what you want to eat. The moment you start trying to impose your choices on me is the moment that I slam the door in your face.
Just curious, how is his making some suggestions for things to look up "imposing" on you?
But you are helped massively by the sheer amount of commerce which happens in California. It's weird you accept that money gladly and without question, yet the moment you are asked to possibly start thinking of contributing a little back so that commerce can continue, you develop short-sightedness and a bad case of Libertarianism...
After "somehow wresting water rights" from Easterners? In case you haven't noticed, the reason the West tends to get little water these days is that all of their storms get pushed north by high pressure systems, and then land south once again smack-dab in the center of the US. Easterners tend to be desperate to get rid of their winter rains in the last few years, they don't like their flooded homes.
But if you're spoiling for a fight, which your tone through this thread suggests, then fine. You don't want to help pay for problems related to Western drought? Well then Westerners don't want to pay for any of the "omg, horrible winter" problems that people in the northeast, mid-west, and south have had for the last few years. They'll pull out of any disaster relief for the Atlantic area that gets hit by hurricanes. They'll pull out of help for people in the midwest when a tornado demolishes their towns. They'll pull out any help for people with torrential rain and the blizzards that never seemed to end this year. After all, easterners don't have to live in areas where the rains pour into their houses. They could just move west.
Or, we could decide that yes, we actually are a country that has socially evolved beyond being a few regional tribes fighting each other all the time.
SEe above. It's not about encrypting the story, it's about encrypting your connection so your anonymity remains secure.
Only if what you're doing is sent to another party, and that party then strips out identifying information. And by "another party," I don't mean Facebook or any hosting service. More like a foreign journalist.
There are two separate issues here, transmission and hosting. Encryption helps protect anonymity during transmission (and it can verify that the endpoints of the transmission are who they claim to be), but that's not what got the journalist identified. He was identified because his public posting was not anonymized.
UH strong crypto is what enables obfuscation of meatspace identity in wiredland. Are you feeling okay?
Yes, it keeps (some) of your communication private. Of course, the author's intent was to disseminate the information widely, so that aspect of encryption is lost. It's especially lost when you add enough distinguishing characteristics to the work itself that you can piece together who the author is.
Actually - yes I am. I watch people avoiding the police. I watch people saying "Yes sir" and "No sir" to the police. I watch people groveling in front of the police.
I address police in one way, and one way only. I address them as equals. I am a free man. Cop says "Stop!" I say, "What for?"
There is a story that is likely apocryphal, that one of his staffers contacted director Nicholas Meyer after the signing of SALT, giving him credit. I doubt that actually happened, but we do know from Reagan's diary that the movie deeply, deeply affected and depressed him. Much of the adminstration rhetoric before was that in a fact against the Ruskies, we'd have a noble victory. Threads and The Day After helped dispel any notion that a nuclear war was "winnable."
I worked at a place which had a fantastic worker/executive relationship. They just "got it." They were the sort of executives you wanted to work for, who promoted leadership and didn't grind you into the mud with poor working conditions.
One of their lessons was "never be afraid to hire people who are smarter than you and better than you." I am stunned by all the people who refuse to do that.
"Other people are doing it" is a terrible life lesson to teach the kids too. My whole point here is.. whatever happened to wanting to be a good person? Is backstabbing, lying, etc all just fine if you can gain some advantage from it?
But hey, if they don't then there "scientists" might not got the millions in "research" grants anymore. Oh wait, that's right, "scientists" would never do anything crooked or back handed to get rich, would they?
This has as little credibility as the leftist "pharma companies are hiding a cure for cancer" claptrap. Stupid conspiracy theories are no less stupid just because you want to believe that they're true.
Not particularly. It's a fucking horrible way to teach your kids.
Is honestly supposed to be considered an outdated virtue in this age? Do we worship the anything for a buck attitude? That it's just fine to swindle people and screw them if it means you get ahead? What about living the way you'd wish others would live?
Absolutely disgusting. People like that ruin everything.
I remember him really trying to create a narrative and then running it into the ground. He had a long series of editorials about Nerd Culture and the Columbine shootings ("From the Hellmouth"). He also famously wrote editorials about a teenager in Afghanistan who connected his old C64 to the Internet and was now consuming pornography and pirated software, all thanks to the liberation of Afghanistan. Most people thought Jon was being scammed and that the story of the teenager was particularly unlikely.
That's because a CD does something useful for the bank -- it's not just cash sitting in a money vault. It's money usable by the bank until the CD maturity date. Money given to the student is not earning the bank anything during that time. It's just gone.
Where the hell are their parents and why aren't they kicking their kids in the ass?!?!
Actually.. the parents probably have to co-sign for those loans
I think you might have indirectly answered your own question. There's a combination of two things. First, the parents don't want to have to be the ones to kill their child's dream. Second, wishful thinking that it will all "work out." They might think that their talented youngster will get scholarships or grants to help pay (though hundreds of thousands of dollars?)
My guess is because the line "you [Americans] are petty fascists who demand the world bends over for your security" is a pretty trollish line. It's hyperbole and unnecessary.
It's something you're going to be doing for the majority of your waking life. It really pays to find something that you like doing. Going for your dream job is a fantastic move. Passion for your job is a positive. However, you can't let passion blind you either -- when considering that your 'dream job' pays little for terrible working conditions, it might pay to be pragmatic and avoid the industry. They can only get away with such conditions because so many are willing to put up with it.

So ignore the PR drones and keep using the words as you used to, don't let the drones destroy a perfectly good word.

"Selective Libertarianism?" Interesting idea.

Almost everyone that commits suicide agrees: Getting shot to death is a better way to go than burning to death.
Mance Rayder and the rest of the Free Folk agree! That's why Jon Snow shooting him as he was getting burned alive was a mercy.

Let me guess. You're a white guy.
The .45 or the 40 ounce?
You got two hands, right?

He said he wanted to rid the world of nuclear weapons altogether.
Likely after watching "The Day After."

Despite there having been NO increase in global temperature for the past EIGHTEEN years
You can usually tell when someone is being intentionally disingenuous. The above line is par for the course for them.

McVeigh's beef wasn't (really) with the IRS, though, it was with the ATF and their handling of the Waco and Ruby Ridge incidents.
But no beef with the IRS or the ATF justifies the bombing of buildings like that. I don't particularly care what kind of statement you want to make.

My 15 year old daughter makes $20/hour writing fake Amazon reviews on Fiver
I... I don't even know what to say to this.
WTF? Why is this modded troll?

A job is NOT "just a means to an end."
It's something you're going to be doing for the majority of your waking life. It really pays to find something that you like doing.

When you use Timothy McVeigh's tactics, you only strengthen, not weaken the opposing side.
