yes. Everyone should experience the k-hole

Not recreational dosages. At serious addiction levels yes.

It would be like saying having a couple of recreational beers on a Friday causes liver failure. It doesn't. Drinking a bottle of whiskey every day for an extended period of time, perhaps.

Same with Ketamine

None of those peoples come from modern day Colombia.

Aztecs - Mexico Maya - Guatemala and neighbouring countries.

they do and have done for years. Years ago, even if you tried to not have google index your outpt from js ahem they nearly always could.

IIRC then didn't the US gov / Monsanto take to court the EU for

a) making these illegal b) once forced to legalise, labelling it as such

I may be getting confused with another case, but I recall some trade episode as such

>Telling people how to break the law is not illegal.

Are you sure about that? Could it not come under incitement / planning

You are correct that global political manoeuvring is rarely a straight forward case of just one country involved. Countries come together when it suits them and oppose each other just as readily.

The US does sometimes come under unfair criticism for being the cause of all evil, when the reality is a lot more nuanced, but when you are sitting on top the pile, everyone is gunning for you.

However, as the parent comment pointed out, the US has been "involved" in many coups / destabilising existing governments. Do you think the US would help out in French / British coups if it wasn't in their interest?

Has any government ever viewed their own actions any differently?

Everyone sees themselves as the good guys, everyone justifies what they do as the right thing from the biggest empires down to the smallest country. American, British, Soviets back through all European empires to Romans and beyond.

This whole good vs evil of the current global empire and the war names they give to operations is laughable. Yet they say it with a straight face and it is lapped up by those who get their news solely / mainly from the mass media

>>South America has a long tradition of interchangeable strongman governments, none of whom had any real interest in advancing the needs of citizens

I can think of 6 democratically elected socialist leaning governments attacked / disposed of by the US and US based interests and am barely knowledgable of Latin American politics

1) stop interfering

2) goto 1

Pretty much covers it I reckon

I keep trying out new tools and always go back to txt files and a notepad with a daily list of things todo and weekly things.

> Sure, a subset of miners can learn to code.

Anyone can learn to code, it isn't hard what we do. Granted some do push the boundaries, but that is a tiny % of what actual programmers do

Why stop there? Anyone without family dating back say, more than 600 years - back to country to origin?

>If Google takes customer service really seriously, Thanks for that, you brightened up my morning. Google and customer service :-)

Perhaps if you are spending millions on adwords, you "might" get some customer service, but I doubt then it will be great

Is there anything resembling "opensource" for any other area apart from programming?

I am not aware of any other trades / industries where people work on things to give away for free in their own time (and even be expected to do so in order to get a job)

Obviously it won't. No one who thinks about it for a second can possible think it will.

We terrorise you, you terrorise us. Only difference is we kill you in far greater numbers than you can ever dream of.

The war on terrorism will end when a new enemy can take it's place. The smart money is on China, but don't never count the Red Menace out, good outside bet they come good at the last minute.

What about those who do harm in your name?

What should be done?

Bomb the hell out of the Syrians? Surely they have suffered enough.

Iraq III? Maybe this time.... maybe....

Send the ground troops into Saudi? Quatar?

Acknowledging that some of ISIS / Al-Qaeda gripes do have some merit, stop interfering in other countries affairs, stop propping up dictators because they are "our" dictator.

Something else?

Unfortunately for the Syrians, my money is on bomb the hell out of them, trying to limit the number of "collataral damage" of dead women and kids, but hey, not our fault.

And so we go round the merry go round again.

>Ideally of course I'd be self-hosting, but that's a tarpit I'll leap into at some time in the future

Wish I never bothered, that is a hassle you just don't need. Getting it up and running so it just works is a hassle enough.

Thinking of going on holiday and want auto responses? You better plan that about a month in advance to figure it out :-(

As you may tell, I am thinking of moving to fastmail for domain email hosting

I feel a bit left out. I am using windows7 (preinstalled on laptop) and not once have I been notified about Windows 10.

None of "get your free copy sign up now", none of the "do you want to upgrade".

the chance that a nation state would kill 10 million more tomorrow is several orders of magnitude more probable.

China, US, India, Pakistan, Russia.....

the narrative will change back to the red scare shortly as Russia grows. Then the "terrorists" will be our friends. Our war against the terrorists will be forgotten and so on and so on....

>9/11 was an extraordinary terrorist event: it killed more people than the previous decade of terrorist attacks worldwide

Obviously you mean their "terrorist" attacks on us. Clearly, more people have been killed by either sides "terrorist" attacks. When we drop bombs on 3rd world villages, or fund armies to do it for us, those villages consider it a "terrorist" attack, regardless of whether "we" refer to it differently in the press - protection of interests, operation freedom, operation democracy spreading.

Please don't be so closed minded that only "they" are terrorists and "we" are the good guys, everytime without fail. The use terror tactics has been a part and parcel of our militaries since the time the military was created.

We are all as bad as each other

My take is the candidate has his head so far up his arse and lives in this bubble world of his making.

The people I have known who are truly that good are humble about it. Those who are not humble, IME are never as good as they think.

I would expect that, as the interviewers did not instantly bow down at this guys superior knowledge. This write write up is his personal interpretation of what the interviewers thought - why else would they not give him the job?

Interviewers perspective. "This cocky guy comes in, tells us everything we do is wrong, that he can improve everything we do, literally laughs and derides our working. In the end I walk out."

just another bullshit marketing term. I cannot believe these type of people really think that those reading it will go "wow this guy really cares about some low paid worker cleaning my house well, I will go with them".

Just seems so contrived and fake to me :-\

>Why do you hate freedom?

They're probably a cheese eating surrender monkey and don't realise the good you are doing by trying to force your skewed version of "freedom" on to them

Rats imprisoned in a cage in a laboratory with no chance of escape prefer to numb them selves with non-stop IV high quality cocaine where possible.

So would I probably.

Rats living freely in their natural habit - probably different story

It is also very corrupting work (drug police). Of the handful of people I "know" who got busted, not one was charged with the full amount of drugs nor cash they were arrested with (when it was worthwhile amounts)

Depends how you define "addict". As any heroin user? Someone whose whole life is based around the drug? Something else?

Whilst US made tobacco certainly does kill many Chinese, the vast majority of it is Chinese tobacco. The cheap <50c a packet type
