I need to go back to IKEA. But I need to make my own too.

You’re on an alternate social media service, which basically caters to the tech-savvy. Most of us are on the spectrum one way or another. Sarcasm and tone are hard to identify in text.

I genuinely don’t mind that too much.

So we need to defend the First Amendment again. They should probably have constricted the 2nd before the 1st for their own good.

Yes, but 90% of everything is crap. Why should we expect data centers to be any different?

My answer is that it depends on several factors. The first and least impactful thing you can do (and that’s in terms of both you and the other person) is to just block them. Next step up is that if they’re not on a big instance that you get content from regularly, just block their instance. After that, report them to your instance owner - they might get blocked from interacting with your instance. And the more heavy-duty action is to reach out to their instance owner with evidence and make your concerns known - then if they get booted, you can continue as you were; and if they don’t, block the instance.

She’s about to be so fired. I wish her the best.

Porn addiction as a unique phenomenon, yeah. But there’s still a lot of people who have compulsive behavior and/or addiction behavior around porn. So it’s not that there’s nobody actually addicted to porn, but rather that it’s not unique.

Development costs in that era vs. availability now don’t equate. I don’t remember the exact number, but the actual research & development of the zero-g pen did have a significant price tag.

You do realize that’s all of what he’s after, right? He wants to be remembered in such a way that no American will ever be able to forget him. He doesn’t care why he’s remembered, only that he is. We don’t remember the name of the pilot of the Enola Gay, but we remember the plane, Fat Man, Little Boy, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Truman. Recognition and memory, for him, is more important than context.

Wake Me Up When (Eternal) September Ends.

The Mrrshan were cool, but my pick is the Elerians.

Not everything gets tested at Groom Lake. There’s also the Lakehurst skunk works.

He’s just saying the quiet part out loud though. This was always the rule.

Sure. And they’ll get paid by the person who chooses to buy it to release it, or by the library.

So that everyone can experience it mostly. Potentially, yes, they could profit from it too, possibly, yes.

I just want to make it clear, I am a hobby writer who regularly releases my work PD.

There’s no problem. Those books should all be in the public domain anyway.

I was friends with one of the main branch of the Myiang family, one of the first Burmese families to take a Western last name. I also know that Burmese pythons aren’t as scary as some people make them out to be. And that ‘Crab Rangoon’ has nothing to do with Yangon.

Oh, and that there’s been a violent coup d’etat since about 3 years ago, and an oppressive, bloody genocide of the Rohingya population in the Rakhine state, which has been ongoing and unchecked through 2017. Cities have been destroyed, families have been murdered, and the world looks on without giving half a damn.

Their leverage is their value to the company. If you’re not capable of providing more than minimum value for your employer, then why should you work for that company? Find a company you can do more for.
