According to that definition Snowden doesn't defecate, he goes for a heroic dump. I'm just saying the word gets abused and people are lots of things, including heroic and deplorable. Osama was a hero to many people. What Snowden did was pretty heroic in my opinion but the deep state probably have other ideas.

Okay but a doctor is a profession. You could have a heroic doctor but nobody's full time job is 'hero'. A hero is a term that's useful in a novel but some people wanna cosplay the role and that eventually becomes a cult.

Booooo

A hero is a concept and since people are much more than concepts, the question is invalid.

Sweden is an odd one given all the help the Swedes gave America when they were embarrassed by the Collateral Murder video and war disclosures by wikileaks. That must have gone down like a shit sandwich with the Swedish public.

I would imagine the 10+ demographic has the highest rates of attrition. Those people will have witnessed most of the transition from niche to lowest common denominator. Everyone knows the adage that 100k is the subreddit limit after which the community breaks down. It would happen here too. The discourse here is uncannily like the 2009 Reddit I remember. People are polite and well informed. I hope the localised and open nature of the service keeps it that way.

Prediction: Reddit will become a cesspit of advertising and data harvesting, a la Facebook. It's most of the way there already.

What are the odds that the police take this snub badly and do something petty and vindictive in return?

How is it that we've created a society where scientists are subordinate to lying narcissists and psychopaths?

Cars produce more harmful airbourne pollutants from their brakes than they do from the tailpipe. Copper is being phased out and the ultimate goal is to abandon friction braking entirely in favour of electrical regeneration.

Switch to tagging transactions as 'real estate fraud', 'financial instrument fraud', 'fake university', 'epstein party fund'

We don't prosecute these things.

Touching Young Sheldon is a good name for a spin off series

British royal family.

Religions that collect money from adherents.

Web 2.0 data harvesting.

We have to call their bluff from time to time and remind the management that without us, none of their shit works. When we down tools its not like they can pick them up and get the show back on the road.

It will set you apart. People will think of you as 'that maniac with no life'.

Holy shit you guys are proper fucked. America went full retard

What up my hexadecimals

Microsoft is cancer but then so much of tech is going that way. We shouldn't lose sight of small victories, this is a good result. The EU is enforcing more openness and transparency in the sector. These are the type of changes we need.

Drugs. The prohibition of psychedelic substances in particular is looking more like a crime against humanity since we are rediscovering their therapeutic properties in the west (that shaman have known for mellenia).

Discussion on the topic of mental health. Virtually nothing was known about mental health until very recently. We are the first generation that even talks about it. Therapy didn't exist in any practical and organised sense for my mother's generation. If you got PTSD during WWI, it was a death sentence because your own frigging side would shoot you.

Who would have thought making a chassis out of a material that is denser than mild steel would result in a vehicle that is heavier? It's a truck, horrible aero drag and rolling resistance from the get go. Difficult to imagine a worse target for an EV project.
