Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

The French revolution represented a changing of the guard, where there was previously several estates competing for power, the nobility, the clergy, and everyone else -- the rich, and the commoners. The French revolution represented a burgeoning middle class between the rich and the commoners successfully for a limited time knocking out the ability. However, that revolution ultimately failed and that's one of the reasons that marks was so focused on the bourgeoisie. But let's say for a second that you wanted to elevate yourself to a new nobility. It seems to me that you would allow a revolutionary class to eliminate the clergy, and then you would make sure everyone was hyper fixated on the rich and middle classes because then a new nobility would have a monopoly on power.

being forced to show an ID to use your computer should be the unifying fight of our time, but nobody seems to care about something actually important.

That judge looks like her family tree is a stick.

My first impression to anyone who is saying "you can't dismiss it until you've tried it" is "watch me".

Absolutely nobody and nothing are entitled to my attention or anyone else's. More importantly, absolutely nobody or no one is entitled to my money. New game releases where I live on 80 to 100 dollars. That's a lot of money. That's almost a full year of supporting a YouTuber at a fairly high end. That's enough money to hire an artist to do a non-trivial work on fiverr. It's enough money to buy enough rice to feed yourself for months. And then for a lot of these games, they'll get mad at you if you decide early on that you don't like it, you're supposed to play it for 40, 80, 100 before you are allowed to decide that you don't like it. That's a big investment in time and money if you don't think the product ever made the initial case for investment. 

It might feel unfair, but your current work isn't what sells your current work. It is your last work that sells your current work, and at present mini video game companies are woefully lacking in that regard.

I've put out two books now, and I would love it for people to give my books a chance. The ebook for each is very reasonably priced, just a few bucks, and even if you read the whole thing end to end a novel takes about four continuous hours of reading. But again, I'm not entitled to that time and I'm not entitled to that money. If I happen to break out as a writer, I will be praying to God for creating universe in which I can succeed, and if I never do it's just a reality that creative works are a gamble that may or may not pay off within the commercial window for a work.

A significant proportion of children do not play outdoors regularly at all. Which makes it bizarre that many of those same children are growing up environmentalist, for an environment they never visit.

Fact check: mostly false

they're not fat

Working on building a universal debian/ubuntu repository for one of my favorite packages.

Already got all the latest (and not so latest) x86-64 compiled, now I'm on my way through arm64. Planning on i386, armhf, armel, and once I dig up my raspberry pi zero w I want all the relevant packages for raspbian too.

Next step for me after that will be to forward port the code changes I needed to the latest and fix up major stuff in the lintian warnings such as requiring PIE and the like.

If things work out, I'll have to start looking at different distro families too, such as arch, redhat, centos, and gentoo.

But given that my empire of dirt is all old x86-64 machines, the process of building all these other cpu architectures is slow and fiddly!

Plastic shopping bags were the world's most reused bags I think.

Turns out people die in the winter in New York?

I'm shocked. Shocked!

well, yeah.

That's rookie numbers. You gotta get that number way up.

Our prime minster waggled his finger at Trump for the loss of the "rules based global order" when his predecessor of the same party illegally siezed bank accounts of peaceful protesters. Oh, there are rules? Doesn't seem like it.

As a foreigner, I endorse this message.

It'd be nice if some of these world leaders would deal with the problems in their own countries rather than talking about what they would do if they were the president of the United States of America, cuz they're never going to be that.

At some point someone needs to follow up on the name Cortez and find out if it's that Cortez, because that would be more perfect than anyone would be comfortable with.

Just another day in Australia.

Wake up and have a Fosters -- haha just kidding, mate. Aussies don't drink Fosters.

Head out with my ute to get some petrol. Give the kid pumping petrol a house and tell the cunt to keep the change.

Head out for breakfast, good Australian grub, McDonalds. Give the kid a house and tell the cunt to keep the change.

Start my job building houses, after a bit go smoko, then after a bit longer it's time for lunch, go get some good Australian grub, McDonalds. Give the kid a house and tell the cunt to keep the change.

Head back to work, after a bit go smoko again, and then it's time to go. Pay day today, paid entirely in houses, life is good.

Stop by Bunnings on the way home, grab a snag. Costs 3 houses now, but that's alright, I'm not made of bloody apartments.

Go have a yarn with the neighbours. Old mate's dog owns six investment properties and doesn't even have a job. Lucky bastard.

Get home, check the mail. Council rates have gone up again, now I owe the government two townhouses and a duplex.

Missus asks me to take the bins out. Nearly get killed by a magpie on the way. Little cunt's probably protecting his rental portfolio.

Crack open a cold one, sit down to watch the footy. Ads come on: "Struggling to get into the housing market? Try our new starter home package! Only 40 houses a week!"

Have dinner. Good Aussie tucker: Maccas again. Give the kid at the drive-thru a house and tell the cunt to keep the change.

Go to bed early, gotta be up tomorrow.

Big day.

Heard Coles is doing a special on eggs.

Only 12 houses a carton.

That's a bobby dazzler.

Can confirm, am the nevarine, and the bitches love it when you compliment, intimidate, bribe, and threaten them over and over until you hit 100 disposition.

As more names come to late, I think it's most important to remember these people think they are morally Superior to you.

The number 1 hit in 1983 was "every breath you take" by the police. That song at this point is mostly forgotten, and of thousands of songs, it was number one.

Contrast with every single person who had a child in 1983. Those kids are now in their early forties, might have kids of their own, and carry forward the memory of the person who brought them for the most part.

There was only one number one hit in 1983, and I think it's quite arguable that the millions of people who had a child in 1983 have a firmer legacy in the future.
