Just run them on a machine you don’t care about, if you’re concerned.

That’s the fun part!

Huh, that kind of gets the juices going, and I’m wondering how much we’ve been trying to make our problems fit the technologies we’ve built, rather than the other way around.

I don’t understand how streaming became so popular

Have you ever found yourself using someone else’s PC for some reason and they’ve got 20 browser toolbars, 3 anti-viruses and no ad blocker, and they’ve just been using computers that way forever, thinking it’s perfectly normal?

Yea, some people have extremely low standards.

I hope you can understand how extenuating circumstances such as yours aren’t the norm.

An indoor cat wouldn’t stand a chance. The lack of experience is an absolutely enormous barrier to overcome, and indoor cats really struggle a lot if they ever get lost outside.

Dude. Power seekers have been doing this shit since ancient times, and you’re getting your panties in a twist about people who fight back against them? Anons know this stuff because they’ve been dealing with it since the dawn of the net.

Here is a great piece someone put together a while ago which goes through many of the techniques bad actors use.

Literally the first novel ever written “Sinuhe” speaks of a very similar crisis in ancient Egypt.

I mean, all I can say is that 5 years ago we were trying to get people to buy local because of China, and now Trump has managed to get all the people who didn’t listen back then to become really hardcore about buying local now, thanks to his tariffs.

Western society is based largely upon a romantic partnership between a man and a woman. Because this partnership contributes to a very stable social system, it has endured and proliferated. Now that it has been abandoned by western society, everything is collapsing.

Yes I absolutely would download a car

This campaign joins D.A.R.E. as one of the most ironically unsuccessful campaigns of all time.

Lawfare

We know

These days I just assume it’s a bot if they’re exceptionally obtuse.

Because ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ are concepts used to split the voting population into two roughly equal groups which can be placed against each other to balance the other out, attempting to achieve economic stability. Where the divide needs to be made in order to achieve two roughly equally sized groups is different for each population.

Because irrational hatred is so ubiquitous that it goes entirely unquestioned (and even defended as you’re likely to see in response to this post), almost nobody seems to be aware that the scientific method was actually developed by the Catholic church as the religiously approved way to explore the mysteries of our world. The view that Christianity is rigid and exclusionary just plain isn’t supported by reality. You can certainly find bad examples and pretend you’ve “proved” something, but there are far, far more good people who aren’t brain dead zealots.

I was taught in college to only include a single question in one email unless you can’t get around it, because many people will only see the first one.

It’s totally immature.

If that’s something you think you’ll have fun doing, I fully recommend it!

Sorry dude, I’m not jumping through hoops to explain basic information to dishonest posters no matter how much you insult me. You absolutely know exactly what I was talking about. You are not as clever as you think you are.
