Mine came on when I was about 12 years old and I'm convinced it was brought on by severe anxiety. At the time my life had changed dramatically. My parents split. Moved to an area adjacent to government housing projects, through which I

You assume that it will be a foreign enemy and not your own government bricking your car on the eve of revolution.

They don't have to do this. The cheap materials in the compressor or cheap capacitors used on the power supply board will just silently fall. And the cost to repair the problem, for the average person, will be slightly less than just b

Why bother tracking just the cars? Just track every person. When you're born some government agent can implant a tracker in your sphincter. When a car is stolen, they arrest everyone in the area where the crime occurred and then sort i

I agree. If it only exists so that a select few can actually experience, it might as well not exist at all. And don't kid yourself, those keepers and creators get full access as well as anyone they deem worthy enough. The rest of us wi

Freedom of speech existed before almost everything. Before the wheel, before the airplane, before newspapers, before radio and TV, and even before pen and paper. I wonder how much less free we'd feel if those things were banned as well

If your ego is elevated in anyway, you might want to work on yourself a bit. Ground yourself and don't focus on whether or not you are better than someone else. Just be content that you're not better, not worse, not the same, not

How does that scenario alter free and open source software? The software is still open and free. But in your scenario you're just super angry you didn't figure out to make money off your work. I'm gonna go out on a limb and s

Everybody on the planet knows that the modern cellphone is really just a portable vacuum connected directly to people's wallets and steam doesn't want a piece of that action? They must be raking in the dough if they are ignoring t

Capitalism doesn't exist. The fact that trademark, copyright, and patents exist nullify capitalism. There can be no free market if your government intervenes in every transaction.

What percentage of those people could never read above a certain grade level? Could 100% of humans eventually, with infinite resources and time, all be geniuses? Could they read and comprehend all the works produced by mankind? I'm cur

The only difference is that the people getting upset about this stuff is money. They hate the idea that someone is making money off their work. Even if the sum of their work amounts to a penny. They're just angry. In 50 years they&#x27

And you'll survive. You'll build the cornerstones of future civilization! They'll erect statues of you! And then in 100 years they'll curse you and tear down those statues because they found out you ate the last kangaro

This can't be true. I'm reading all these positive accolades for Andor in this thread and there's no way I'm watching it. Star Wars after Jedi is garbage. Lucas got me with those awful prequels and Disney got me with the

Like stealing money under threat of force from many individuals and handing it over to some random scammer? That kind of immoral act? You might not be as decent a person as you might think.

I'm not Christian and I don't want a federal ID. I don't even want a state ID but I will eventually be taken to prison if I continually get caught driving without one. Coincidentally and/or anecdotally I've never ha

Can't a raspberry pi (or similar) emulate a USB keyboard? Feed it any text and the key strokes will look real to your editor. I guess you could require a special encrypted keyboard in your plan.

But it will bring some percentage of good and some percentage of bad. Which ain't half bad, if you ask me.

You're automating the 1's and 0's. There could be millions of people in an assembly like line of buttons, being paid minimum wage to press either the 1 or 0 button to eventually trigger the next operation. Now all those jobs

My sister worked for the post office years ago. If her office received live birds, and thought they might die (because the owner couldn't be reached to pick up or whatever), an employee could take them home and care for them.

You're heavily indoctrinated by the State. There's no way I'm undoing all the damage they've done to you in a comment thread on a message board, so I'm not going to try. But I will plant this seed and maybe you&#x27

I'm not trying to debate the merits of various government. We're just discussing definitions. It you take my property via threat of violence (coercion), that is thievery. School children understand this. So I'm sure you do as
