Are you suggesting that most people would rather scan 400+ pages of a physical book than deal with ebook DRM? Because that sounds like the worst, most tedious option to me. I’m confident most would never consider scanning a viable option.

The same thing it always does. In the best case, exactly what a program written by a human developer could do but with a high chance of hallucinations and an insane power draw nowhere near worth applying to the trivial problem at hand.

Her job is one of the most interesting in the administration to me. Every day she has to get up there and gaslight, lie, and threaten people on behalf of somebody that she knows full well is a piece of shit. She might be a true believer in Trump’s goals, I don’t see how you could do that job otherwise, but she’s not so stupid that she can’t tell what she’s doing. Most of the rest of them only have to say the crazy shit every so often but there she is, day in and day out, laying out the bullshit that they came up with in their late night spin sessions.

I can’t imagine what it would be like to have that low of a moral standard. It’s such a foreign concept to my brain that even though I know intellectually what she’s doing I just can’t comprehend how it’s possible to live that way without hating yourself. Who knows, maybe she does hate herself, but she’s at least putting on a good show of being OK with it all.

If the beliefs held up to scrutiny they wouldn’t be associated with the modern Republican party

Yeah that’s what I meant by “people who use it more probably think it has a better layout”. I’ve tried to use it in the fashion it was designed on a couple of occasions but the version control / repository categorization functions didn’t make sense to me. I assume it would if I did those things more but I also think it’s laid out differently than I would like even for those purposes.

I’m with you on github for sure. I assume people who use it regularly think it has a decent layout but to me it seems so random and disjointed that I can’t imagine how that’s possible.

I think the current moral question society is wrestling with is along those lines. Something to the effect of, how removed from the outcome of a decision does one need to be in order to absolve themselves of responsibility for that outcome? Essentially, why is it OK for a CEO or a President to cause thousands of deaths by signing a piece of paper but not OK for that same person to go out and shoot those thousand people one at a time? The outcome is the same there’s just more obfuscation along the way in the first case. The greed motivation seems to be the difference. The CEO isn’t usually killing people because he wants them dead, he’s doing it because he views them as acceptable casualties in his quest to make money.

Charlie Kirk is a great example of that phenomenon as well. He may not have directly shot anybody but he undoubtedly influenced people towards doing exactly that. To what degree should he bear the blame for their actions? He certainly didn’t do it in complete ignorance of the possibility that people could die but does the separation from the actual crime make his actions morally acceptable? Does it make any difference if his motivations were money and power as opposed to bigotry and hatred?

You’re right, they’re a gas.

I don’t disagree with your assessment but if we are collectively dumb enough to subject ourselves to obviously bad ideas simply because we haven’t experienced the negative effects of those ideas firsthand then we deserve the consequences of such colossal stupidity.

It’s actually sitting in one place putting up with a bunch of bullshit for most of the day. That is an essential skill in the modern workplace.

Why are both of these so veiny? Also, why does the word veiny and both of these pictures make me think of dicks? Am I the inevitable perverted product of an overly sexualized society or are these drawings intentionally evoking phallic symbolism? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
