    I have read about it. I just don’t fetishize it.

    They don’t care about historical truth around here. If you post anything more more political than a python tutorial you’re apt to get a talking to.

    You have a child’s understanding of our government. This isn’t a Tom Cruise movie.

    Yes, almost as if political issues affect everyone, you included. What a shame there aren’t more “apolitical” tech drones out there willing to go silently along with the status quo…

    If only we had sane leaders who didn’t voice similar idiotic thoughts in public.

    Over the last three years I've become a single-issue voter/activist. That issue is seeing Trump on death row. Ideally along with the other Trumps + Barr, Whitaker, and so many othe…

    Humans are not conductive enough for standing waves to form at that scale, so this analysis does not make sense. The human body, as a macro object, does not resonate with EM waves …

    You're assuming the free speech argument is in good faith. It isn't. Trump is upset because he expects everyone to utterly capitulate to him, and Twitter won't kiss the ring.

    We clearly have different standards of what’s acceptable. This country’s gone to absolute shit in the last 20 years.

    I disagree. You don’t really want to shoot people, but others do. It’s hard to understand, but violence always is.

    Yeah, it’s not going to be easy. But I’m deeply afraid living here and certainly can’t raise my child here.

    What makes you so sure? Until last month there was less unemployment than at any time in our nation’s history. Things stay the same until they change.
