Your brain handles facial information differently than it does any other visual information. Most visual information is processed by your Occipital Lobe. But facial information is processed by your Temporal Lobe. To be fair, facial recognit

I can play a whole song in my head, and then realize that I don't know the words, and when I try to get the words out of the song in my head, I can't understand them, because my brain only committed the musical parts, not the lyri

I suspect that everyone has an inner dialog, but the defining difference could be on which side of your subconscious it's on. It might not be that some people don't have an inner dialog, it could be that those people aren't c

I think one can convey the feeling of "wishing something were real" into spoken words without actually thinking those exact words to themselves. It's like when you are hungry, and decide to eat. You didn't have to tell

Your first point is moot, because a person could point a gun at you even when you don't have your computer and demand your passwords, or even kidnap you and force you to log on somewhere else. This solution doesn't aim to prevent

I use Asterisk to tie a bunch of my shit together. I even have little burner phones that can do all sorts of cool things thanks to modern SIMs and VoIP tech. What's your podcast? I'll bookmark it for later.

I would much rather see the financial elite in America expropriated so that corporate leaders are less likely to buckle to China for short-term profit.

I really don't like some of the philosophies expressed in this article. The whole "put family members in jail" bit feels like a worthless appeal to emotion. If your family member is a mass murderer, I really don't care

They're not looking for anyone. They're looking for evidence that the scope manufacturer illegally exported to countries that they weren't allowed to, and tracking app downloads is certainly a way to do that.

Again, I already made it clear that this has nefarious purposes. But there is zero utility in keeping the larger dataset secret. Society is not safer as a result. The only reason they ever framed it the way they did was to get media attent
