It got snuffed, but it’s worth remembering that 13 years ago, Occupy Wall Street did happen. The path from self education to understanding the real villains has been roughly identical for most of recorded history, and right now if you still read books the truth is pretty much everywhere and undeniable.

Ever since OWS was unceremoniously snuffed without actual reform, I’ve been waiting for a nice blue shell thrower to show up. It’s been the only remaining path available the entire time. One person walks that road, and suddenly it becomes vastly easier for others to follow…

That’s the job I need. I’ve spent my whole live trying to be Data from Star Trek. I’m ready to try to mentor and befriend a computer.

I am intimately familiar with what a difficult road pacifism is to walk honestly and honorably. Let me tell you why I would jury nullify this guy if I could anyway.

It is abundantly clear that gun ownership is completely closed as an avenue to deal with the gun violence problem in the USA. This is the only avenue remaining available to citizens to vote on the subject of how the inevitable gun is to be used. If we cheer loud enough, maybe fewer psychotic breaks will take place at schools.

I, for one, pray to be alive for the day that the French Revolution comes back to life and makes meaningful landfall on American shores.

This Run the Jewels is

Murder, mayhem, melodic music.

It was here before we got here, and good and bad are both words of human origin.

I accept your take fully. Here’s why I still love it:

I have docks in any location where I plan to work for an extended period of time. “The smallest device which can run x86/x64 code” is what I look for in the handheld device I carry around with me that isn’t company issued.

You’re right about one thing, though. It and the surface go 2 before it are items I targeted when I saw the use that others were getting out of their iOS and Android tablets. I wanted a device that still gives me access to calibre for e-book sorting and the time waste-y low resource usage portion of my steam library even if I’m on an airplane. The pocket, as well as a charger, a slim bluetooth mouse, and an e-reader all fit in a pouch not much larger than a case for a study bible. I can pull that out of my travel backpack and tuck it in the pocket of the seat in front of me, then I don’t have to fight with any of my carry-on luggage during the flight. I take a bluetooth controller or two with me if I’m going to be somewhere for more than a few days, and then when I’m back at the hotel I can hook this same tiny device up to the TV in the hotel room and play emulated games or resource friendly steam games.

I’ve been using laptops my whole life, and it seems like whenever I’m using the built in display, it’s already a poor environment for productivity. Portability gets my attention in its stead.

gpd pocket is the best field work laptop series I know of right now.

You’re weird. I’m weird. We both know that weird is where it’s at, and the worst thing either of us could aspire to be is “normal”.

This strategy is about rattling folks whose identity is still external rather than internal. Introspection surrounding the idea of “weirdness” is the goal.

The expectation to conform to a set of principles foisted upon you by superiors is the idea that we’re fighting against. The people who support that way of thinking want wealth consolidation, conformity, and all others in cages. Weird is a dang battle cry in the face of something so oppressively ordinary.
