The show clearly makes him out to be a loose cannon, dangerous even to his allies. He caused great factionalism in the rebellion.

And he died, having accomplished very little, because he believed that victory comes from purity of purpose, rather than from working together against the enemy of all.

Actually, no. I forgot that my pay is two weeks at a time, so call it 60 hours.

I’ve occasionally considered purchases add a function of the number of hours worked to earn that money. My fast food costs an hour of work. My nifty you costs two or three hours. Rent costs 30 hours, more or less.

Sometimes it’s helpful, mostly depressing.

I don’t want purity tests because we, on the left, are incapable of reaching a consensus on much of anything. If we can’t agree to tolerate a limited amount of disagreement with each other, we can’t work together on the things we do agree on, and those things tend to be kind of important.

Knowing I’m using a VPN is not the same as knowing where I’m using it from.

The browser thing is bloody irritating, though.

I think I’m dramatically overestimating normal people’s understanding of computers.

I know a VPN isn’t a cloaking device. I just want my ISP to not know what I’m looking up, and my website top not know where I am located.

Would you care to expand upon this point? I know that a VPN is not going to protect me from everything, but “almost nothing” seems harsh.

I would like to know more.

Do they not have flatbed tow trucks?

According to Seaspan, Moffatt’s EV was denied boarding on their barge because it was inoperable and not on a flatbed tow truck or trailer.

Wasn’t he introduced with a story of pulling off a miracle to escape the Gorn? Or am I not remembering properly?

No research needed. Getting back to the routine, after a suitable period that varies from person to person, is important. But it is not, in itself, healing, and someone who didn’t miss a day of work is not doing well.

Oh certainly. But it’s treating a symptom, not the actual problem.

That’s not healthy, though. That’s repression, which is bad for you. I know it’s bad for you, as I have not had more than six emotions in the past 20 years.

Indeed it is so.

Nevertheless, assholes.

If the employers are using computers to read my resume, why shouldn’t I used a computer to write it?

Assholes to the lot of them.

If you were to use their network to take advantage of the features for anything that the “predator” behind doesn’t care, you’re fine.

But what will the predator care about tomorrow? Or next year? And how confident are you that aggregate data is not what they want, for whatever reason?

My loyalty is for sale.

Scientists were so caught up with weather they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

Also a consideration, yes.
