Don't remove freedom from society - Be kind to people and give them equal opportunities to make sure they use their freedom for good. Prosecute bad apples with actual police work and don't let them ruin a good thing. Want to track

Milliondollarhomepage is a little strange and irritating, you're just buying pixels after all. But it is interesting and has a certain conflicting charm to it. Outbid is just sad. People pay money to get on a slop board?

Anything below /64 should be straight up illegal. We got IPv6 just so people can dot the exact same dumb shit with it that IPv4 forced us to do.

Good writing isn't complex for complexity's sake though. Mistaking complexity for quality is the most common mistake when it comes to writing — and I allege one central reason why many people like and trust LLM output. I'd ar
