He was a good writer and a solid philosopher. Less focused than Clarke or Asimov, less wacky than Dick, and less manipulative than Hubbard. He presented ideas in a clear way.

Thank you! I believe we will.

Literally just got married this weekend. It was for love. Because now, it's in the public records that I love this woman, and she loves me.
It was cheaper (for us) than taking a press release.

Cool. I'll keep emulating.
- Comment on Women in dating apps 1 week ago:
Language was invented for one purpose, boys - to woo women. And I'm that endeavor, laziness is never acceptable.
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 2 weeks ago:
You mean DIN, not DIMM. DIMM is RAM. DIN is PS/2 and others. As far as how I use my old boards and trackballs, PS/2 to USB-A 1.0.
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 2 weeks ago:
USB-A is the common standard. Most devices are made with USB-A compatibility. Most portable media are USB-A.
I'm not even going after the vast majority of my hard stops when I pick technology, like the fact that there's no proper (S)VGA and no full-size DisplayPort (and I mean proper DisplayPort, not an "HDMI" plug into a DisplayPort interface), or the lack of a hardware switch to fully disable power to all onboard radio and modem devices.

If I'm in a situation where it's Apple or failure, I will gladly fail.

It's cheap "labor" that pushes KPIs and looks impressive to investors. It's got the same upsides as slavery (the model most of those bastards want to go back to), without the costs being obvious, or the labor itself being able to rebel - instead, the disenfranchised and the 'little people' are the only ones left to fight, and we don't have enough money or energy to do so. Until there are riots in the streets, the AI-loving klepto-pedo-fascists win.
- Comment on ‘Hundreds of job applications’: young people on their struggle to find work 3 weeks ago:
In the 2010s, I didn't consider it a reasonable day if I hadn't sent at least 200 resumes between 8AM and 5PM.

So either the DCs get wrecked, or we have less meth heads. Or both. Win/win.

Are dog breeds species?

That's the Headmasters one between S2, the movie, and S3, right?
- Comment on Anon plays Metal Gear Rising Revengeance 4 weeks ago:
I think the response is somewhere along the line of "nanomachines, son!".
- Comment on Splinter Cell designer says “one of the difficulties with modern stealth games” is realistic lighting, as environments are now so much “harder to read” 4 weeks ago:
Stop worrying about realism!
- Comment on When a judge tells the jury to ‘forget XYZ,’ how can the jury possibly do that? 4 weeks ago:
It's not forgotten, that's why lawyers engineer those moments.
But it's supposed to be rationally disregarded.

Samson's actual weakness was the same as the artist's - a beautiful woman. Achilles' was a beautiful man.
- Comment on New York real estate titan likens the phrase ‘tax the rich’ to racial slurs 1 month ago:
Alright. Normalize both then. And remember that "tax" is a euphemism.
- Comment on Most could work on anyone really 1 month ago:
Yeah, half of these I wouldn't mind. The other half would make me lose my sense of humor.

And the birdies you listen to when they chirp and throw seed to are still them.
- Comment on There needs to be something to subvert in the first place 1 month ago:
Retsuko could do with a Xan or two maybe. But I like Keroppi and Keroleen more.
- Comment on Ecosia has Planted 250 MILLION Trees 1 month ago:
I have a choice - pay for that, or pay for food, clothes, shelter, and the esoterica of existence - including debts that I got myself into stupidly because I trusted someone I should not have. There's no amount of the money I need to live which I'm willing to expend on that.
- Comment on Ecosia has Planted 250 MILLION Trees 1 month ago:
I'm not interested in supporting paid search, or being subscribed to a search engine with a "try it". So, no thank you.
- Comment on Ecosia has Planted 250 MILLION Trees 1 month ago:
That's the sticking point. I use NoAI DDG as my main engine, but I keep having to go back to Alphabet.
