It wasn’t that long ago we had phones that couldn’t leave the house. This choice does still exist for us.

Yeah that’s exactly it. It drives me nuts when I try to click on something just as a dialog with a button shows up, and I maybe don’t even get to know what I did. Or clicking on something that moves because of some sloppy infinite scrolling or slow loading images or something.

Elements should not even be clickable for at least 0.5 seconds after first appearing.

Not really long form, but The Roads with Belle

The largest untapped market in the country: people who dislike trump. It’s genius

The Democrats were never our friend. The Republicans are merely worse.

I’m ignorant, because I never needed anything that only a Mac can do. Can you clue me in in the cost justification for this?

It definitely never occurred to me before now.

I think one easy way to remember is if you’re somewhere where either one resides, you’ll know about it.

MFr looks like a live action dr seuss villain and plays the part.

Trump voters hating him? I think I might take you up on that bet.

I think that the health insurance industry is profoundly immoral.

When it comes to strategy, however, morality doesn’t even factor in.

Since the US is headed for 4 years of a made-for-tv style society, I guess this slots right in.

This smells like the second amendment argument about defending against a tyrannical government. Please, take inventory of materiel and finances before you go down that road.

I would argue there’s another deep hypocrisy lying with people who insist such figureheads should be killed, but the only action they take is blathering about it on public forums.

Be the change you seek, go set an example if you think you know what’s right.

But pitting us against the ruling class in this way isn’t going to be a winning proposition. The best you’ll get is a massive and severe security clampdown.

There are still some games that won’t work, mostly those with really invasive anti-cheat

Interesting, are you recruiting me to do something specific with you? Or should we just keep discussing how it’s immoral not to do violence on an extremely public forum?

I don’t know if it’s morals, I just don’t have the stomach for violence. That’s kind of a weird thing to say to a person anyway.

It should go without saying that such violence is not good and not supportable.

I am not celebrating. It’s a tragedy, even if a predictable one. We’ll all do better with a little more cooperation and a lot less greed.

I don’t like it when people die, or get maimed.

If I say that I can understand how something like this happens, it’s not out of sympathy for the murderer. It’s just an accounting of facts amidst the fact that billions of people exist so obviously someone is going to be willing to kill for their perceived injustices. Especially when injustices are a lot more concrete than abstract.
