    All of the bills introduced in congress are posted same-day on https://www.congress.gov/. I don't know about the 5 days thing, but I think it is quite rare for bills to be introduced, passed and signed that quick. I looked at a few of the bills on there and none of them were passed in less than a month after they were introduced, and none of them were signed in fewer than a few weeks after they were passed.

    Talking about yourself in the third person and persecutory delusions are classic signs of paranoid schizophrenia. This is literally what I wrote in the first comment:

    Lots of malware now uses Tor hidden services for C&C, which can't be blocked with a simple hosts file.

    That is "attempting to take you down"? Get a grip on reality man.

    I really don't. You are the one that stalked me to another article and pretended to be someone else so that it looked like you had another person backing your argument. People that know they are right do that all the time yeah? LOL

    Even if the FBI has an attack on Tor, it doesn't matter at all because the perpetrators are probably in a country where they have no jurisdiction. I don't know why you keep pointing that out like it means something in this case. The malware authors are not afraid of the FBI. The fact that they use Tor is to make it harder for non-FBI people to detect and stop them. Also I don't think you understand how host resolution works works. The fact that the malware contains its own DNS code means that it can 100% ignore your hosts file. The proof is in the article that YOU linked.

    Again, how do you know it blocks the tor component of this threat? Did you download the malware and give it a shot on your computer? There is no evidence that it uses the OS host resolution at all. It even says in the report you linked that the binary contains its own DNS code. Also, I never attacked you or resorted to name calling so chill out please, we are just having a discussion.

    I am not the one that has to prove because I didn't make any claims, I am just positing alternate scenarios. You literally said it would "not only BLOCK this bogus machination, but to also stop it from functioning PERIOD." You have no proof of that. For all you know if it can't contact the C&C server it might just wipe your machine for fun. I'm sure your hosts file is good for a lot of things, but you are making baseless claims here.

    Who even are you. Every post you write is like a soliloquy in a badly written play, yelling nonsense into the void. You talk about logic and arguments and proof without ever giving a single scrap of it, just baseless opinions and paranoid ramblings. Please go back and read your comments again, you aren't the logical Vulcan super-arguer that you think you.

    Unrest is a critical problem and it will be avoided at all costs. It is preferred by our ruling class that the cost should be paid with the blood of the lower people rather than precious resources that would be used to raise potential competitors.

    Baseless statement with no proof.

    Leadership says: "Oh you don't have enough to raise your child comfortably? It's just TOO BAD that you don't, I don't know why that is or what I could do about it! What tragedy? Well here is an OPTION for you...."

    Also here you seem to be implying that "the man" wants to give more access to birth control as some kind of Illuminati conspiracy to keep the working man down, but then why is literally half the government (republicans) vehemently fighting against birth control. This ruling class sure isn't very good at executing their conspiracy...

    Basically the success of this slavery hinges on people like you thinking you understand the economy in your dogmatic belief that it is somehow infallible and beyond the control of organized manipulation. Even though the evidence to the contrary is obvious.

    I literally never said a thing about understanding the economy. Good straw man.

    You are still locked into this personally combative attitude. It's a sure sign that you feel you have no logical defense for your ideas and the only way to preserve the belief you've invested in is to display like an animal, moaning and growling but not actually attacking.

    Absolutely hilarious given that you are the one constantly name calling and I have never resorted to that. Literally every comment you make calls me an idiot or a coward or some variation of that, followed by more baseless arguments. Maybe take your own criticism here? You clearly have some anger issues.

    I really don't care what you think at this point, and obviously neither does anyone else given your shitty karma. Stop stalking my comments please.

    No because you can't put a declaration inside the if statement right now. You could use the comma operator to give an already declared variable a value before the boolean expression, but the variable would have scope outside of the if statement.

    Possibility for what? Your premise is already completely arbitrary. Human and not-human are classifications that you imposed. Depending on which scientific perspective you are coming from it can vary from the moment of conception to the moment of birth, with lots of moments in between.

    Your own logic can even be turned against you because there isn't a single moment of fertilization. It can take up to four days for a sperm and egg to form a zygote. You can never give a single point and say "look at that, now it is life." So yeah, you crying "but science" doesn't make your backwards opinion automatically irrefutable.

    It's pretty straightforward, having a child in the US is a really bad deal. No guaranteed maternity leave, day care that costs more than one parent's entire salary, relatively little government support that people shame you for even trying to take advantage of, etc. Not to mention the fact that it sets back your career for years and is not exactly a pleasant process, physically, for the mother.

    Having children, to a point, is a long-term benefit to society but so many people vocally resent having their money spent to help with the burden that goes along with children. Any discussion of maternity leave will have tons of people saying things like, "why do you get time off for having a baby and I don't get time off because I choose not to." Bottom line, people are too selfish.
