This isn't a case of logic, it's a case of observation.

It's also a joke. There are very few Democrat leaders that get involved in gay sex scandles, not because they don't have gay sex, but that their base doesn't care. Most of us just call it "sex" unless we have a specific need to differentiate. Some additional factor is required to make it a scandal.

Republicans, though, officially disapprove of gay sex. So anytime one of them is caught having any, automatic scandal.

It's honestly not too bad an idea, provided they are old enough.

I have no expectation of inheriting anything. Between medical bills and consumer debt, and the fact that my family is poor as shit anyway, there will be nothing to inherit. They might as well run that credit card debt up, because it dies with them.

I might feel differently if I had any reason whatever to feel bad about cheating credit card companies out of their money, but banks and financiers as a whole address not on my list of favorite people.

This is why gatekeeping is actually important. But you've got to be sure you're keeping out the people who want to change the group, rather than people who want to join it.

I actually stopped buying their products.

No huge loss. Black beans are black beans.

The broadside cruiser trait seems like exactly what I want for my Galaxy.

If I wanted to be noticed, I'd go outside. The reason I liked reddit, more than any other social media, was because my identity was practically irrelevant. Only my posts mattered.

I would be suspicious of any big company trying to set up a manufacturing facility. Jobs, yes. We need jobs. But the company is not here to provide jobs, they are here for cheap labor. They area here because they hope the desire for good jobs will blind people to the environmental risks of the project.

And I would expect a Chinese company operating in America to be more of a risk then any other combination I'm aware of. The American people don't trust regulations. The American government doesn't enforce regulations. And the Chinese culture, as far as I can tell, believes that regulations exist to be broken. Three groups that have no use for anything that will protect the environment is a recipe for toxic waste releases.

I'm relented reminded of the joke about the medical students.

I'm pretty sure that the main reason Google funds Mozilla is to be able to avoid claims of monopoly on browsers. I don't think we can have it both ways.

If only someone had warned people that mass surveillance would be used for purposes that most voters are opposed to.

Most laws of the limits of surveillance are based on the understanding that it requires time, effort, and expenditure of limited resources to observe someone. We don't require a warrant for publicly available information, like a cop following you around, and writing down where I go all day, because we understand that no police department is going to spend an officers time like that for no reason. It's a self-limiting decision. Similarly, the records of such observation would be limited in scope to the period of time that I have an officer assigned to me. They can't decide today that they want to have been observing me last week.

But with cameras and data storage, booth of those limits are removed. It costs nothing to observe and record where I go all day. Further, they can decide today that they want to have observed me last week, and just pull the data out of the archives.

With this in mind, the general understanding of "publicly available information" needs to be reconsidered, and the laws about what the government is allowed to collect and store about me needs to be updated.

I've failed those before, probably because I move rather mechanically. I've tried deliberately putting delays and random mouse movements while don't them.
