12 distinctions on one hand and 4 on the other doesn’t seem too smart to me… I’m with the binary crowd.

Okay, fair point, but that’s the same issue as connecting muliple consumers to the same wall outlet via an extension cord / multisocket.

I mean as a female socket it could have the “fat holes” - because the current limiting interface is the thin, male part that goes into the outlet. It’s not like a consumer will feed back 16 power into the outlet.

Reminds me of the fortune teller / writer in After Life Season 2 (or was ir beginning of season 3?) - did they write a whole book in that style? :D

Even if true, there’s nothing “fun” about the origin story that led to a war killing over a hundred thousands and including some horrible war crimes.

- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
To the surprise of no one who had been reading the news, though. It was mostly putting some details to thinks we already knew about. Still, I commend he did do it, and I wish he could live a life less controlled by those in power - but I don’t consider him a hero. More like a tragical figure.

We don’t disagree - I commented something very similar deeper down in this thread. have no idea how to link it here though on mobile - my apologies.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, there’s a good chance this is part of the problem - by benefiting passively from a first world that exploits so many other countries and people in the world, we become complicit, and develop a cognitive dissonance regarding our share of responsibility for the evils of the world. Especially since obviously as a child you can’t be guilty for the world you are born into, but it requires an act of emancipation to distance oneself from a system that you recognize as exploitative if not outright evil as you grow older. And it’s impossible to completely remove ourselves from it, we can only ever try and fight smaller aspects of the unfairness.
Another part that I suspect here is that many people have a complete blind spot for the fact that in order to get into a position to leak such sensitive information, Snowden specifically had to be a helping puppet to the system for quite some time.
In that way, and with the knowledge I have about the case, Chelsea Manning is way more eligible to be considered a hero, because they got a hold of documents for which they did not need to willingly participate in any kind of evil - aside from joining the military which is at least a questionable decision for many (including myself) - especially when it comes to the military of some specific countries known for frequently attacking other countries to further their own ends.

Guess what, I even read “No place to hide” by Glenn Greenwald / Ed Snowden. I never said Snowden is bad, but he was naive and quite fucking stupid to think he was working for “the good guys” initially. I am glad he had a change of heart and did what he did. Nevertheless it is more heroic to stay away from evil deeds than change your mind after partaking and then step away.

With the understanding that secret police is on your side, you will never take down anyone.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
You missed the point. To get that kind of knowledge, he first had to subscribe to the evil team. Which he did. It would be different if he had joined from the beginning with the motive to expose unlawful practices by the services. It is more heroic to not join team evil in the first place.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
Most of us here are more of a hero, because we had the backbone to never actually work for those fascist services to begin with.

You are an idiot. Previous commentor was not defending this in any way, he was looking to find an explanation as to why Stephen Tyler got away with things.
- Comment on Troof 3 weeks ago:
I don’t get the downvotes, I agree with you. It’s not okay, and yes, it’s legally rape, but it doesn’t have to be traumatizing the victims in the same way as the examples you also mentioned. And that’s not an excuse, but a reasonable answer to the question you responded to.
