No, the biggest problem is that computers are fundamentally calculators with the addition of pointers and goto, and computer scientists have spent the last five decades trying to hide those two features from users because if you expose them you have a general purpose machine that can be made to do anything.

Many people--including fans of Jimmy Kimmel, or drag performance, or news reports critical of the president or the late St. Charlie, or non-violent protesters--would consider government seizure of the means of speech to be the greatest threat to free speech. But it's true that you can now insult out-groups and tout ivermectin on Twitter now, so I guess the First Amendment is doing better than ever!

The LA public television station also balked at the price of PBS affiliation a few years ago. So it could be that they will opt to produce their own programming, or buy shows directly from the producers/distributers and continue to broadcast educational programming. But it's Arkansas, so maybe it will be The Walmart Product Information Hour--brought to you by The Noah's Ark Experience.

Roads are not federally managed. They are managed by the states. Most rules around roads are made by a "private" organization AASHTO, which is a consortium between the states and the federal government.

The subtext of the right-handed circle jerk above you is because years ago the Canadian government didn't let truckers obstruct the streets for months on end and because a licensing board thought Jordan Peterson was preaching out of his depth. Meanwhile, for the US these people cheer people being jailed for weeks for insulting the regime, journalists being deported for covering protests of the regime, the President and his appointed head of the FCC placing their own restrictions on the news, and and the government "restricting the right to protest" with unreasonable and unaccountable force.

They nurse the grievance of lost privilege and exposed mediocrity by becoming "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic — Islamophobic — you name it". I suppose we can add Canuk-Francophobic to the list. It seeps out of their pores, and they like it when thinking people wrinkle theirs nose at the foulness because it reassures them they they are still the person they are afraid of growing out of.

Many of them realize that the malevolence and incompetence is crashing the economy, but when they look at the cabal of kiddy diddlers and enablers in this administration, they think "at least they are like me," and they're fulfilled.

You just use the on screen keyboard to type Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Alt+Scroll Lock. The keyboard is under the accessibility settings submenu.

The error with your math is that it only works on spherical minorities in a vacuum. The world did not begin when you started thinking about it, and in the millions of real lives that were lived before you started trying to justify your social position, out-groups were excluded from contention in the meritocracy, and in-groups were improperly promoted within it because the in-group is often blind to it's own bias

Neither education to help recognize of this bias, nor an attempt to correct for this bias' historical effect is racism. One would think the party that complains constantly that "X isn't racism" would be willing to recognize the distinction. But instead, they use government pressure to keep people ignorant of history, and government money to erect Confederate monuments in the year of our Lord 2025.

What is happening is not subtle, and if you deserve a place in the meritocracy you should be able to see the distinction without thinking any less of yourself.

> Locking yourself in a store with a criminal is a good way to escalate a situation to violence. Sounds risky for employees and other customers nearby.

"None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me."

Are you arguing that the fortunes of the working class are actually going up, or just reminding people of what they would find in the dictionary?

I think one of the Dune prequels has the Butlerian Jihad being waged against a cyborg crab. Please, no one else read that book to confirm or refute.

More like 28 times and it breaks down in about 10 years as opposed to 30.

In general, yes. But Binance certainly got what they paid for.
