Democracies are only as functional as their courts. I think the US court system has been failing its people in a lot of ways, for some time now.

Nobody seems to mind though so I'm not even hiding it

China's getting a bit aggressive though atm. Not as bas as the US, but still not exactly 'free' for the countries involved.

Man, it would be really cool if we could just take them at their word. Unfortunately that's not the world we live in.

I was working with some younger people a few years back and one of them noticed that all of us from of a certain generation always slam the mouse down whenever we first use it. I explained it's a reflex from when the wheels inside the mouse would get stuck with gunk and we would instinctively slam the mouse to get them free.

By my understanding, 4chan left themselves vulnerable which, given the circles they foster, means they were going to be compromised. No fear of reprisal or consequence for it either. Not like when attacking a major corporation or government.

Add "liberal" or even "critical of the president" to that.

It should stipulate it has to come out of salaries of any above a certain threshold from the lowest paid full-time employee. No more run-away pay. If you want to get rich you gotta make sure the lowest down can at least afford to live.

I hate when nature is absent. It's not just urban centers. Large suburban parking lots with no trees are a kind of hell for me.
