While I genuinely love to see this, I fear it will come crashing down. At some point the one, or both, of two things will happen. Either:

• A government’s private cloud will be hacked, and the argument will be that the security upkeep is too expensive and cause the lapse that allowed the breach.
• Similarly the cost argument, on its own, will rear its ugly head during some future budget crunch and popular thought amongst government leaders will sway back to the ever popular “private industry == efficiency & low cost.”

Hope it doesn’t happen, but history do often be a bitch like that.

Isn’t everything? /s

Yeah, we all need to be minority women of wildly varying income levels. Make the “great replacement” fuckers shake in their boots!

You mean 201 yards away!

Obviously, making time for yourself is a good thing. If you’re miserable, there isn’t much point!

I guess this is more a consequence of my living in a very consumer-oriented society that the importance of saving is so prevalent. Plenty of fun can be had for little to no money.

If you can’t be alone with, and genuinely love, yourself; you’ll never be able to do that with someone else. Living alone for a little while really helped me either this.

I was told on my way to college to stick to natural stuff, and only with people I absolutely trust. I know there are plenty of natural drugs that can kill you quickly, dad was just trying to make it easy. I guess he figured I’d never see shrooms. At an A&M school. Surrounded by cow pastures. Anywho…

In my youth I thought I was old enough to try some stuff. I was not. Now that I’m older, I still think lots of drugs should be legalized, but I think 25 is maybe a good age. Let the brain finish developing before you start killing off the slow cells!

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

If you don’t know, ask or find out. Knowledge is rarely a Bad Thing.

Take care of your health. It gets a lot harder as you get older.

Seriously, go to a library. Pick something. If you don’t like it, return it for something else. If you do, get some more like that one. But don’t be afraid to branch out.

Edit to add: pretty much everything said here is really good advice.

Adding to this:

Save as much as you can. One day, you’ll need it.

Take care of your teeth. It’s the only set you get, and it sucks when you start having problem.

Drink water. Lots. You do not want to experience a kidney stone.

Measure twice, post once!

Need to do it the old fashioned Russian way. Get the military heads behind you, overthrow the despot, put him and all his cronies up against the wall, and then the next “strong leader” takes power.

This actually makes sense. The colony argument didn’t since that could apply to half the world! Y’all got around!

In Asia? Is this that New Geography?

Interestingly, that site mentions Israel’s “strong ties to Europe” as a reason for its participation. Is Canada in Eurovision? Australia? The US (I actually know the answer to this onej?

Stupid American here. Never watched Eurovision, but thought it was a competition for European countries?

I think Rage Against the Machine should’ve just avoided the studio altogether. They were so good live. Killing in the Name is great.

Haven’t seems Muse since Black Holes, but they were also very good live.

So far, this is the most prescient comment to me. If the low-rate dictator currently running the US allows people like Thiel to do whatever they want, that’s probably where we are headed.

Also, props for “Nerd-reich”

Jelly beans, Burma Shave, and brimstone.

Deserves a peace prize because:

A: That one black guy got one

B: He will have ended a war by giving the aggressor what they’ve already taken (plus a little more, if I’m not mistaken) while stripping an ally of most of their country’s natural resources. But, peace!

I just think it’s sad that the country needs a “Bad Guy” for the government to think about driving serious innovation that doesn’t just benefit the military (see: DARPA &, to a lesser extent, the Interstate Highway System).

Oh, and “is it debated?” Among rational adults, not at all.
