Pixel Dungeon is life.

Do you think decriminalizing for possessing a small amount in the interim would still fuel crime?

as someone who considers themselves an animal-rights moderate, I am 100% OK with lab meat. No sentient beings suffering = no problem!

You've lost me towards the end. However I disagree with your opener. If you change your habits and appear to lead a happier, more satisfying life others will notice this and adopt similar habits. A sort-of reverse keeping up with the joneses.

The fact that this is down voted shows what an elephant in the room this really is.

Or even compared to the 8 million tons of plastic dumped into the ocean each year, which will never truly degrade. I understand plutonium has a half life of 25,000 years without anything aiding it.

>there is a much higher chance that someone here has a gun

valid point.

Really? I'm a Canadian who had an awful experience with US police. I was attending a music festival that had a noise complaint, officers came in with guns drawn. I've never seen this approach in Canada.

> So why should I invest time/energy into changing something that doesn't affect me?

This argument has a place here, but it has a cringe effect each time I see it. I find it a dangerous one if applied to other circumstances.

The average home user, sure, the ISP AP may be fine. But for the average reader of HN I suspect it would not be.

I can't use an AP that does not allow me to fine-tune QoS and just tinker in general if packets are not flowing in the way that I desire.

>That said, don't ever use an ISP provided access point.

Because the hardware is often inferior to what you can pick up for ~$200 at a tech store, not to mention the lack of control you get with an ISP AP.

Twitch is surely an example of the 1% now, but he's saying that you may not be at that point yet and still have a great startup, regardless of what you are valued at, at this moment.

What was your IQ before you were out o the streets? Average grades? Were you exposed to hallucinogens such as DMT or LSD?

The outcome in your life largely depends on the opportunities available to you, whether it is perceived as you creating those or not.

Dr. Mike Gazzaniga has done some excellent research on free will (or the lack thereof). It's impossible to break from the path on which you are headed, however you are responsible. Something happened to you that set you on a better path than that of the poor folks with the lack of forward thinking abilities that you mention.

This was the premise for an Impractical Jokers punishment. Sal had to go to a community planning board and propose a "Senior's Playground".

IMHO direct digitization is the way to go. I'm sure one could find grant funding and train an army of volunteers to perform this over time in a relatively inexpensive manner.

the upcoming canadian election is ultra-important for this reason.

There are fitness clubs and/or access to treadmills everywhere. No-where has any ever said "every-time I try to exercise normally I risk getting arrested" ever.

For the example you gave in response to my first reply the GPL license would have permitted them to do as they please. No-one forces a license on you, you choose what license your original code is under. If I would like to prevent my code from being taken and profited from that's also my right. The fact that you can choose what license your code is under is freedom. The non-permissive vs permissive license argument is a moot point, because the very arguments supporting permissive also support the right to use a license such as GPL.

I think there's the expectation that they should view their jobs more seriously than that of, let's say, a porn director or toy designer.

They are different from the rest of us, in the same way that those who are border patrol officers, paramedics and military officers are. Not only does your job greatly influence your persona but you should be expected to take your job more seriously depending on the subject matter you're dealing with.

Did you mean to reply to my comment? I can't tell.

Regardless, all the reasons you're giving for why you prefer permissive open-source licenses also apply to the GPL.

That doesn't at all address or relate to the question I asked, but instead provides a completely different talking point supporting permissive licenses as a charitable act.

How does permissive licensing put food on the table for those who created the code? If anything wouldn't it have the opposite effect?

Did anyone else expect this to be an article about the drug LSD and the unreliability of its composition when being purchased at the street level?

There is solid science behind what is moral in the world. It's a good idea for countries to work together to maintain a moral standard internationally.

A quick read through the article seems to indicate that a lot of the opposition to it is due to the fact that it is a patented crop, and will no longer be grown by locals.

Aspergers in the medical community is no longer distinct from ASD (autism spectrum disorder)

Who are you sharing your views with that you are experiencing so much judgement, etc?

Are these comments on your blog, or real life friends, or both?

>politics are still left of centre

The whole left-right thing is really a false dichotomy. It sounds to me like you associated/associate with extremists of political correctness.

I hold some very progressive ideologies, but I have never faced ridicule if I don't "tow the line" as you are experiencing. But then again I don't blog or share my views that publicly.

Most men still pee standing up. That's pretty messy.
