I guess that's how I feel too. I would never preach this gospel, but I find it inspirational.

I wish more people were inspired by Gene Roddenberry's vision of an ideal human society. I know it's a science fiction pipe dream because we're always held back by the lowest common denominator, but if mankind moved past the

There's no Soviet Union boogeyman to compete with. Maybe if North Korea was competent and had the resources to start shooting for the moon, then I'm pretty sure we'd deem it worthwhile. I'm not sure we fear China enough

My dad was always proud of being the main guy on the ramp for the 747 Houston to Honolulu and Los Angeles flights. He used to tell everyone about how the wingspan was longer than the Wright Brothers first flight. Apparently it's true,

I just used it as an example. I'm not even that interested in it honestly. But when I brought this up it was the first day of the scandal, and you're saying it'd already been talked about enough that we needed to "move o

Well, that does make sense that it's a daily story to you if you think that way. I just wish the people who do think this could understand how tiresome it is to see every story infused with a Trump angle. Like this Al Franken story for

t_d was a promotional subreddit for his campaign, it never claimed to be balanced. It bothers me because I would like to visit a subreddit that actually is balanced, and now there isn't one.

Look at /r/politics right now, or any day of the week. Good luck finding one article that isn't about how Trump is literally Hitler. Whether you agree with it or not, I don't see how anyone can say it doesn't have a

If it genuinely is a monopoly, then that is terrible, and hopefully something can happen to change the situation. I guess it's hard for me to picture because it's not my bag.

If people hate EA so much, why do they keep buying their games? It's not like Time Warner, with a monopoly you can't avoid.

It probably starts with the technological ignorance of the parents. Spreading stories like this hopefully reach these parents.

My last company started having design sessions to build a system that would monitor how much employees were actively engaged at their desk. I tried to steer them to "rewarding employees who were working hard" goal, but they were o

It seems to me the Internet has been tamed, by in large. But it has to do more with the overlord companies swallowing most of it, and then subjecting everyone to their own regulations. Even if you're on the outside, you can't exis

I used to be employed at a place that was so restrictive I couldn't even access asp.net (the website). I think it was something to do with it being in the cloud and looking like it was being hosted in the middle east. Most people proba

PIA is cool because it works seemlessly with your phone as well. It used to be you had to have some special access to get it to work with a provider like Verizon, but it works flawlessly now.

I know there's a freenet on IRC, but it seems to be people mostly talking about programming. Which is handy sometimes. But the freenet I was actually referencing was this project https://freenetproject.org

I definitely reddit, and try to cultivate subreddits I find interesting. But just commenting and looking at funny pictures is only fun for so long. I know that old 4chan carries some other connotations, but I don't think people realize

Yeah, you definitely articulated it better than I could have. But I mentioned other sites besides just 4chan. Even IRC had networks full of active rooms, with people from around the world. I just know there used to be more things that I con

I do miss when there was more web on the Web. I've been wondering if the problem is that I don't search as much as I used to, or if there just isn't as many fun sites to visit these days. There actually used to be hangouts on

Get out of here with your facts and perspective. China finally did one good thing, so they are better than the US.

I almost find this hard to believe, unless you seen it somewhere with poor resolution or lighting. Sure they did a good job, but they were so noticeable it broke the spell of the movie for me. They are the best proof that we are still in th

I would never try to tell someone they should have kids, or make someone feel like there is anything wrong with not having them. But going on vacations or having luxury items seems so trivial compared to what I've experienced since my

I don't really use Spotify. But this is why I like Google Play Music, because the playlist suggestions are categorized by what you're doing (rockout at the gym, christmas, working-chillout, working-fun). But honestly you can'

I agree, it always seemed to me that most of us didn't want people to think we're stupid. It seems sad that you have to worry that a kid will just fill in whatever so they can go to lunch. That seems like a self-esteem or discipli

Having looked at their frontpage recently, it's amazing how far it's fallen. Not that I every considered it a reliable source, but it genuinely had some interesting articles in the past. There was one article about the actual stor

This is definitely not my field of expertise, I want to hear that energy is becoming cleaner, and renewable. I guess I believe that this is the right direction, and still better than just continuing on the road we've been on. But when

Just to play devils advocate, where should the line be drawn? None of this work could be done if it weren't for the cafeteria staff that provided brain food, or the spouses who shouldered the responsibilities of any parents who worked

I'm always glad to hear news about the advancement of solar power, but I don't hear as much about advancement in batteries or storage. The manufacturing of batteries is not a clean and renewable resource, or have I missed some new
