  1. Re: Wouldn't it be easier on Google Invites Users To 'Check If You're Clinically Depressed' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I have dated crazy. Like, full blown crazy.

    Sadly, I've seen people legitimately ask shit like that. "Why can't she just be happy? She should get a hobby."

    It kinda is a bit depressing, when you witness that.

    I have real life friends. They've all come to grips with my not having a clue about things like movies, television, new music, etc...

    To put it into perspective, I have no idea what Obama's kids names are. I know he has two. I have no idea what is in the theater. I don't know the names of the more recent Trek and Star Wars movies are.

    I kinda suck like that, but my friends are used to it.

    Mutant League Football was the greatest football game ever made. Any other opinion is invalid. No need for NFL stuff.

    If you're curious, Brazil already has air taxis. They're not very expensive and are quite profitable. They work inside the cities, as well as taking passengers to other cities.

    Source: I've been in them and spoken with some users and pilots.

  11. That was tough to find out. Google eventually turned up NH's rules, which were more specific. It only applies, for them, if you're in the same household. Other States may vary, but that's what NH does.

    I'm kinda partial to the idea of scientific knowledge being open for inspection at no cost to those seeking to learn. I'm no hero, but I am not scared of a court battle. They can fuck right off.

  16. You might fool them, but I'm on to you. My guess is you drive a Prius. Which is not a horrible choice, compared to other cars. It's better than a Tata or Dacia, after all.

    No, the courts and our history have defined it that way. In order to be treason, it must be an enemy. In order to be an enemy, it must be official - namely, we must be in a war with them. We are not at war with Russia. We sure as hell aren't in a declared war with Russia. We surely aren't in an open war with Russia.

    How about a link from a site you're likely to trust?

    https://www.washingtonpost.com...

    I'm REALLY trying to be polite but you're not helping. No, no you are not. I'm half convinced you're trolling, at this point.

    Once more, Russia isn't our enemy, officially speaking. No, sanctions are not an act of war.

    One slight update: A couple of people were found guilty post WWII. They were pardoned and released. My mistake.

    The law is not pedantic nonsense. Read the fucking Constitution. It defines treason. They felt the definition was so important, they wrote the specific definition into the framework of the country so that the courts couldn't decide otherwise.

    This is not a defense of Trump, it's a defense of honesty and reality. Trump's a fucking moron. You, however, are trying to be even dumber than Trump. Read the damned Constitution, for starters.

    Free speech should be a social objective, not just a matter of law. No, it needn't be absolute, but it should be the default.

    I have no opinion on reddit. I just have an opinion on freedom of expression.

  20. I live in America. We don't use that communist bidet stuff. I bet you use metric, don't you? Filthy heathen.

  21. Re: So it's just Java, right? on In Defense of the Popular Framework Electron (dev.to) · · Score: 1

    By almost all accounts, Electron is horrible. I guess Visual Studio Code is written in it, and that's the only one I've played with - albeit for a short time. I didn't notice any flaws, but I didn't pay attention to resource usage in the short time I used it. I have ample RAM and compute power. But, the general consensus is that it is horrible.

    It seems to me there should be a better way. Java doesn't really do it, as you can't count on everyone to be on the same version - or even have it installed.

  22. If you want to split hairs, no notices posted by the public are on any surfaces. There.

    And yes, I'd let them post that sign - were it up to me. I'd also let you post a sign. I like freedom of expression that much. Funny enough, the ACLU and EFF both agree with me. I'm in good company.

    Indeed, I watched the entire uploaded version - and several others - of the event where the lady died. There's a whole slew of them. I know you know where Google is. You can see the lady die, if you want. The interesting part is that the dude's car was set upon with weapons before even coming to a stop.

    I'm not a fan of Nazis. I'm a fan of reality. Nazis suck. Reality tends to suck, as well.

  24. Heh... I'm rather fit, actually. I don't actually exercise, as such. I do a bunch of chores, 'cause I'm retired and like being busy.

    Err... I'm 5' 11" and ~170.

    And I agree, being proud of it is dumb. Trying to get other people to accept it is even dumber. If you're fat, fucking diet.
