It's not morally correct to pirate adobe software because it's crashy shit and you're wasting the precious hours of your life recovering work that never should have been lost in the first place. If you're going to pirate something, at least pirate something stable.
All drugs should be legalized, but there should be laws cracking down on people who do bad things with drugs as their excuse as an aggravating factor.
Do what you want but don't bother anyone else. People fail the second mark too often.

Most of Canada should be declaring independence from Toronto and the St. Lawrence seaway.
That might be true in many places, but not everywhere. Hydro got hit hard as "not green" because it's effective and boring. In particular, Canada is fully capable of going fully hydro -- half the provinces already are -- but there's no political will for it, only for magic boxes that don't so fuck all 9 months of the year.
Desalination powered by nuclear or hydro (or even solar in places like California) seems like a game changer to me.
Except hydro. Hydro is fine. Much of Canada uses hydro and it results in super cheap electricity year round.
To me, it's one of the examples showing it was never about renewable energy that there aren't dozens of major hydro projects right now in every country with the geography to support it.

No, there's no child porn here, pedos please just stay on twitter where you belong! I'm sure Elon will be hit hard enough for the feds for cracking down soon and you can go back to your normal Twitter activities, don't bring them here!
I was watching a video about the Marxist opposition to families today, and it made me realize how insulated the whole ideology is. It's an ideology by northern europeans for northern europeans.
The hate for the nuclear family in particular betrays the truth. It isn't the norm in most of the world. Not in Africa, not in Asia, not in South America, not in a chunk of Europe. Relatively speaking, the northern european conception of the nuclear family is a relatively tiny fraction of the world.
Given that there's a lot of different family structures in the world besides the northern european nuclear family, it would be positive to look at those societies and see what actual conditions end up developing. While the nuclear family isn't perfect, it sure looks like one of the better options imo.

I ONLY BELIEVE IN ABSOLUTE TOLERANCE. IF YOU ARE ANTI-SEMAPHORE THEN I BET YOU WERE BEATEN BY A FLAG WHEN YOU WERE A KID
No matter where you lie on the political spectrum, this is a huge problem. If things continue the way they are, we will start seeing things like civil wars. There are a number of instances from Roman history of someone being executed by having molten gold poured down their throat. What might happen to the oligarchs in a modern age if things don't start to change?
For admins out there, you might want to look up tuned. It's a tuner daemon that looks like it can fiddle with your linux install to operate at its best. Started using it during the sunday peak paired with pg_repack and I'm down to some pretty decent looking load numbers. I've seen sub 0.1 this evening which was pretty surprising for a sunday night. It's in the ubuntu repository.
I think it should be really simple. Such people have often had important roles in the community, and people are starving for a return to real communities.
The white pill to me is that the population will shrink, and when that happens, the power of the individual grows. When the power of the individual grows, that's good for most people, even if the economy as a whole shrinks.
I think it's always important for us to remember that we don't get paid in economies, so if the economy shrinks because the population shrinks, you can have some really good stuff come out of that, including a huge increase in the potential to make sustainable economies. My son or his kids could have a really good future. In fact, we might even get to see the millennials and Gen Z catch it in their last few years.

Trying to think long an hard about what lessons to teach my son, I've also realized that we treat hedonistic pleasure as a virtue to pursued as a good in and of itself rather than a vice that feels good on the way to more deeply satisfying pursuits, those pursuits being what I like to call "building something". Building families, communities, making safe and comfortable places to live, it's all stuff you don't put a dollar value on, but it's so much more important than dollars and cents...
The west needs to either create a new ideological foundation in this regard or it needs to return to an older one, but if we continue on the nihilistic path we're on there won't be anything left. Eventually some other culture will come in and it will become dominant.
