  1. Instead of moving to Iranian servers on Iran Forces Messaging Apps To Move Data To Iranian Servers (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    The *companies behind popular messaging apps* should respond with free VPN and proxy services built into the app. But they need to extract all their personnel from the country first.

    The voters... Everything depends on the initiative of the voters... The whole routine. This very moment they could turn their back on the the republicans and democrats, turning their money into fertilizer, and make it a race between the Libertarians and the Greens. It is strictly their choice to make.

    What made them think they ever had that?

    Anyway, the good news is hearing we are seriously breaking the habit. But energy is a trivial issue... How are we going to use it to distribute water to where it is needed and away from where it isn't?

    It only matters how fast you want to flow that 10 gig video. Instead of showing it live, it will have to be cached at a lower rate onto the local machine for later viewing.

    Oh, but it's not "corruption" at all. Everything will consume as much and grow as big as it can until it bumps into some resistance. It is nature, it is life. All things truly are equal. That would include us.

    No, an intentionally 'weak' candidate that presented no real opposition cost the democrats the elections in 2000 (Re, 1968). And this is the intention now. This whole "spoiler" angle is a fraud. A guilt trip brought on by the loser's voters who believe they are entitled to our votes and try to blame us for everything that went wrong.

    The Overton Window needs to be smashed. In fact the wall containing it needs to be demolished.

  12. Re:Other party than the republicrats? on John McAfee Denied Libertarian Party Nomination For President (reason.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, there is Stein. She'll be on the ballot. And there are several Green candidates running for congress(Clean House, remember?). She is preferable over Sanders*. And you won't be called a 'sexist' for not supporting Hillary.

    *If Trump were on the ball, he would have called him "Sheepdog Sanders" instead of "Crazy Sanders", since his real job was to corral the more "left leaning" money into the democrats coffers. So far, he has performed most admirably. He really raked it in, and just like Trump, successfully kept attention tightly focused. And really, we should all raise a glass to Edward Louis James Bernays. His theories are more demonstrable than Einstein's.

    The choice is ours, and we are responsible for them, the propaganda and money be damned

    So the people ARE to blame if one of the former becomes president and does something stupid?

    Yes they are. But evasion is an art form developed over millennia. In the name of convenience and expedience the individual prefers to blame the collective for the choices he makes, to absolve himself.

  14. Nice post an' all, but don't confuse "progressive" with neo-liberal. And there still is the Greens, if you're looking for a "mature" alternative.

    You're full of shit. There are at least four choices available for president. The voter is the only limiting factor.

    lawfully-condemned

    Determined by the whims of the emperor, or the populace, makes no difference, aside from the degree of efficiency.

    the only valid argument against it can be based on the imperfections of the justice systems.

    Yes, that is the fatal flaw, and a good enough reason to abolish the practice. The other simple fact is that no matter how you want to rationalize your vengeance and thirst for blood, whether by cave drawings or Shakespearean prose, killing an unarmed caged man that is not an immediate threat is murder. The death penalty is as heinous as any other human atrocity, made even worse by popular approval, your personal point of view, or what is considered "lawful", notwithstanding.
