Cry me a river. I'm sorry your role in doing whatever it is you do is so hard on you. We don't reward people based on how hard whatever it is they do is for them. The intellectual property worshipers like to trot out that notion, but that's not how it works at least most of the time. There's no way of measuring how much of your effort actually goes into a work. Two people can come up with the same thing and one person worked a lot at it than the other. We currently reward who is first. I don't like the whole intellectual property model. If you can get me something and pitch me something, I can be willing to pay for it up front. The whole idea that a person can hold the world hostage on a topic, no matter how narrow is an affront to well being.
The world works with a wide variety of legal and illegal activities and even death. To pretend a part of the world is not how the world works is stupid.
You seem to understand the argument better than I do. What does 'ignore prior' mean in order for you to have that reaction? Nobody is even using any units here! What's up with that?
Somehow I don't like the idea that people can keep the details of what they are offering me for the purpose of putting it into my body a secret. Not that the tools for managing that information is all that great... and they really ought to be a whole lot better than they are currently. The company that provides my health care is just now getting all their people on one system and there are no guarantees regarding exchanges of information between health care companies.
I am also suspicious of the concept of trade secrets and proprietary information in general. Come on, people, what happened to that big talk we were going to have about ethics and intellectual property and culture and stuff?
But only if you were using your disks with single side devices and you also had to make a notch or you couldn't write anything. I was using double side drives and doing this would have erased the data.
Except for the wall bit, everything else you have said talks about what you think Trump's actions will cause without actually mentioning the actions themselves.
I am not sure about the most of my life part and I have illness that limits my output, but I generally work to create content for nothing and if you want you can trawl the qb64 and probably FreeBASIC sites and find lots of free content. Steam Workshop-supporting titles have a lot of content created for free.
I have no ethical issues with the way the copyright system is set up. Until we sit down and talk about forming some ethical underpinnings as to if copyright makes sense and if so for how long, I take the position that it is a government law infringing on the normal operation of culture and free speech. The original intent of the earliest forms of copyright was to censor and I can only assume that is its primary effect today.
Yeah, that's the sad part. People surround themselves with people that superficially seem diverse, but they are going to be more representative of the people in the group than they are the places they are from.
Never underestimate the power of C'thulhu's evilness! Not being a natural born citizen will not stop C'thulhu from claiming the presidency and everyone's souls! Now pray that you will be eaten first! Brought to you by the C'thulhu candidacy initiative.
Name one person Trump has physically assaulted. Courting racists for their money merely makes you unscrupulous as to whose money you go after, not a racist yourself.
Really? Shows what you know about C'thulhu! Not only are his innards literally Hell, being eaten by him is a relief in comparison to experiencing him from the outside! Brought to you by the campaign to elect C'thulhu. Why vote for the lesser evil? The more you know.
I am not led by emotions. I let my emotions inform my decision making. You decry how Trump goes for the cheap emotional ploy, yet seem blissfully unaware of how American politics has been played to an emotional full orchestra since at least the Federalist Papers. Now there's some cheap emotional ploys I tell you. There's never been a moment when hearing the politicians go on that it hasn't been about playing on people's emotions. The only thing different about Trump is that he is more blunt about it and stands out. Name one thing a politician has said that wasn't about the feels.
We all form our own echo chambers. People who think they are interacing with the rest of the world are still only intetacting with people who are interested in interacting with them. On Steam, I interact with a person in the Ukraine and a person in Iraq. Both are quite interested in what game keys I have and haven't expressed the slightest bit of interest in politics, American or otherwise.
Which of Trump's ideas are really terrible and why? What are the really great things that Clinton will do? You don't really give much to support or pick apart.

You seem to be confusing the tactics that made them successful with the tactics that made them vile.

I'm not speaking as to the truth of his statements, just that there is enough substance there to not be trolling.
There's enough nostalgia to go around. It's naive to think that the only ones with nostalgia are the most blatant actors.

How does something being a lie make it a little less likely it is false?

Well they are stealing from the public domain, so there's that.
He is saying things that make well enough sense without resorting to the conclusion that he is trolling.
I don't have to justify something I don't see as morally wrong. It is up to the other person to convince me I should see something as morally wrong.

He also couldn't tell that Hitler's speech tactics didn't figure greatly in Hitler's evilness in making that comparison.

The country NATO was created to resist hasn't existed for quite some time.
