Now I think you are being intentionally duplicitous. You know that there were at least two prior whistleblowers who did go up the chain of command, and as a result both were harassed and persecuted? If not, why did you not know this? Why ar

They are different, but maybe not consistently so for everyone. The visual distortions might be similar but the feeling will probably be different. I get a certain uncomfortable bodily sensation on LSD, to the point that after fifty or six

The quality of my comments lately is quite low, I'll give you that. You're actually more than welcome to delete the account, aren't you guys supposed to allow that anyway under GDPR (for Europeans at least)?

I know a woman who managed to sell cocaine out of a taxi (in the US) for 8 years without being caught. It's a great way to sell drugs because you can always claim that whatever is stashed in the backseat was left by one of your passeng

Well, except when people start jumping from buildings. I know two people, one of whom successfully jumped from the 3rd floor of a building and another that had to be restrained from doing so. It's a real risk, although I personally hav

Nah, I've always been terrible at RTS games but I'm still obsessed with them. I'm also pretty far into creating a generative RTS and it's turning out well. Maybe you'll like it too!

Anecdotally I used to be less empathetic but I took some steps to change that long ago. But, high pain tolerance would still describe me even after that point... I've had broken ribs, broken fingers and toes, broken hand and wrist, chi

What, did you expect a new lineage of humans to evolve separately there or something? Of course "native" can be arbitrarily limited to mean 1000s or 10,000s of years, but even after slavery those people lived there for at least fi

> I would add that the Iranian nuclear deal is now being revived, breaking the power of militaristic hardliners in Iran As far as I know Biden has not taken any step toward this so far, but many House Democrats are urging him to do so.

I actually like conspiracy videos (for fun), but Youtube did something a few years back so that they are recommended with much less frequency. Also to get a totally clean slate, which is still not perfect as you said, you have to delete sub

That's actually what prompted me to post this. I don't know how Youtube's algorithms work internally, but lately the front page is just so broken that it's baffling. The sidebar recommendations are another discussion --

It's harder to steal cars now too, which is how Cali's most successful bank robbers got away with it for a long time.

Is there any way that lawyers can be sent to jail for making egregiously bad legal threats? Does it ever happen?
