That operation also needs to be async itself, and ultimately it needs to be implemented as running on a separate execution queue. Yes, but this is the relatively easy bit. It's wri…

The real problem is that it presupposes thought-crime. The problem with that is that it's hysterical bullshit, and implies that people will be prosecuted for thoughts . This is a t…
