    Well, he packed it himself, and he considers it sufficient...

    I imagine he'll take umbrage at that.

    "The people fighting saying it's not censorship, it is, it is censorship with the justification of money and profit. 'If we host this we may lose other income'."
    One type of example I can think of is athletes. They've been losing endorsement deals since I don't know how long because they did something "bad". OJ comes to mind.

    What changed is that they claimed Cloudflare "supports them", you illiterate fuck. Usual suspects acting all outraged? Pot, meet kettle.

    I thought that the adjective used was hilarious.

  8. They be singin' the blues on Feeling Bad About Feeling Bad Can Make You Feel Worse (berkeley.edu) · · Score: 1

    There is an entire genre of music devoted to "feeling bad". Western music also has a mode for this kind of thing--it's called the minor key. Country-western has lots of "My Woman Ran Off with my Best Friend's Truck" songs, too. These guys need to get out more.

    Good answer.

  10. I find it funny that people always assume that aliens will be atheists. What if they know Yahweh? What if they never sinned?

    What if they *are* Yahweh?

    Maybe they've found out the hard way that Diversity Is Not Our Strength, and therefore they aren't going out of their way to cultivate any. Maybe someday humans will figure that out, too.

    Without the diversity that the Illyrians provided, the Roman Empire would have died a couple of centuries earlier. Monocultures are fragile.

    The destruction of the technological capabilities which provided the Green Revolution would drop the carrying capacity back to 3-4 billion, I would expect.

    You ain't lived until you've watched your deck of punched cards get sucked through the card reader. Godspeed little cards! And pray that none of them jams.

    Sorry. You put the JOB card in the wrong order. Try again later.

    Eh, whatever, it was news to me, and interesting. I find that humans are in need of occasional reminders about important things, anyways. Plus there's also the next generation that needs to be introduced to old info.

    Expensive lawyers take care of the problem. The rest lose. THAT is our legal system today, and tomorrow.

    I figure about the time the peak of the boomers are retiring, they'll figure out how to deplete our 401k's.

    Ha! I liked this: "“Conservatives like guns, tobacco, fossil fuels, deep-friend endangered caribou,” while liberals “like yoga, weed, clean air, free-range kale and giving everyone free health care.”"
