This is the thing making me lean more toward leaving than trying to change things. Even if Trump were magically impeached today, and our election system were left as near-intact as it is, somebody just like him could be just as likely to be elected in the next cycle. And odds are he’s going to pull off rigging the system to make sure that happens by then.

I think that on a long term scale, to get at the root, something needs to be done about the media machine behind him. Culture eats policy for breakfast.

Time for meshnet?

This. The fundamentals of things computers do is so heavily abstracted now days, all kids know how to do is work with those abstractions.

As far as catch-all rule of life rules go, do you have any greater alternatives?

But again, your problems aren’t really problems with the idea itself. You’re just trying to make a general life guideline do more heavy lifting than it was meant to, and all your issues are again solved with a little bit of common sense and conscientiousness.

As a quick sidenote, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” is not Yeshua’s (Jesus’s) principle law. His highest commandment was, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'”

I’m sorry, you didn’t actually think this beverage was healthy to begin with, right? Lol

For starters, agave is one of the highest fructose-containing sweeteners out there. Our bodies can’t use fructose directly, so most fructose metabolism occurs in the liver where it’s converted to glucose. Overconsumption of it may promote metabolic syndrome even more than glucose.

The only two sweeteners I use are date sugar (whole powderized dates), and rarely molasses. Unsweetened teas might be an acquired taste for some, but after getting used to it, they generally add plenty of sweetness on their own.

Really more of a communal theocracy. It says right in the New Testament that you are expected to give all of your wealth to the church, with the implicit trust that the church is meant to distribute those resources fairly, starting with those most in need.

Those seem like misinterpretations to me. Underlying your desire to be left alone is the desire to be treated how you want to be treated. So you can quite easily extend that reasoning, how do others want to be approached? The golden rule then suggests we should have the conscientiousness to inquire and respect the relative boundaries that each of us have.

This gets into letter of the law, vs spirit of the law. If you care about the latter, then the golden rule is quite good. But if you take advantage of the former, then you can subvert and break down any rule.

That title was extremely disappointing to read. Initially read it as, “All kinds can now be jailbroken, thanks to new jailbreak method.” and was like, “What?! Yeahhhh we’re gonna jailbreak all the things!!!”

Then I saw what it really said. Cool, but meh. Happy for all the Kindle owners but I already solved that problem by just not buying a Kindle. Such disappoint. (눈_눈)

Omfg I can’t believe I forgot about this one. Ecco the Dolphin metroidvania!

Oooh, another one: Demon’s Crest.
