  • Don’t take this as advice to ignore the picketers, this is a genuine question because I don’t understand.

    Wouldn’t it be more effective to have MORE people do the games today, and for them to disable ads and trackers when they do? Put strain on the services while the workers are on strike, highlighting the need for them.


  • By moderating our online discussion boards to better weed out posts, comments, replies, etc. from foreign interference and domestic Astroturfing that present themselves as far-left in order to convince people that perfect should be the enemy of better. I swear, nobody comes to the conclusion “Esteemed prosecutor Kamala Harris isn’t as bad as convicted felon Donald Trump, but she still has flaws and isn’t worthy of my vote in a competition for the most influential job in the world that will certainly come down to one of the two of them” on their own. That idea has to be planted by someone arguing in bad faith, and repeated in many forms for someone to begin to believe it.





  • Your “Explanation” essentially boiled down to “Nuh-uh!”, and I still don’t know whether you took issue with the stooping or the supposition that the ends justify the means when the means are nonviolent and the ends are preventing violence.

    Or maybe it was the simple math analogy that went over your head?

    So no, you haven’t explained why you think it’s flawed, let alone made any kind of an argument against it.




  • What part is flawed exactly? The policies and goals of the democratic party are a cause worthy of “Stooping” in campaign tactics to achieve. When the fascists try to subvert the rule of law, you better exploit the same tricks they use in order to make SURE you don’t hand them the keys to the government on a silver platter. Play by their rules, then fix the issues with the rules that they play by. We can’t afford to let them win.





  • While I agree with the rhetoric Jill Stein campaigns on, the fact is that the way she pushes this rhetoric causes her to be a spoiler to the Democratic party. If we were under a parliamentary system, I would vote for Jill Stein to be my representative. But because our system is locked to two parties, I have to distrust her.







  • Technically assembly is a human-readable, paper-thin abstraction of the machine code. It really only implements one additional feature over raw machine code and that’s labels, which prevents you from having to rewrite jump and goto instructions EVERY TIME you refactor upstream code to have a different number of instructions.

    So not strictly the bunch of bits. But very close to it.
