There's a period. It reads "in all other matters, government fuck off".

Which is consistent with the poster declaring their anarchism.

Uphold the values of the constitution of the USA, but in the digital space.

And fuck the rest of the world?

And otherwise fuck off, govt

Anarchist nonsense. Zero government = total chaos. The strong eats the weak. Like now, but worse.

You can see this in painful clarity watching the Argentinian railroads. Created and operated by the UK originally, it has a clear shape of a funnel from all over the country towards the main port city, Buenos Aires.

And the reductive stupid answer is just yelling colonialism.

Most of those reasons, that are very real, are explicitly derived of colonialism.

For instance:

• 2 (resources) is the cause that the US promotes puppet right-wing governments or directly destroys countries to pillage them.
• 3 (education) is systematically destroyed in many countries because they want to make public education disappear so it's for profit. Again, following the US model and most likely benefiting US companies (for instance "educational" campaigns to teach proprietary products created by US companies, e.g. Microsoft)
• 4 (stability) is directly threatened by the US foreign policy of destroying every country that is ideologically or economically inconvenient for the unimpeded proliferation of unbridled, savage capitalism.
• 6: in many developing countries public health has been destroyed to follow for-profit schemes based in the US model, to benefit either US companies or US-backed right-wing politicians.
• 11: Crime is worst in countries reduces to poverty, in many cases by US-backed lending policies sending countries into misery.

All this, of course, is supported by years of colonial teachings after which the people in the "developing" countries despise themselves and look up to the powerful countries as inherently superior, even morally.

Cue the Max Headroom episode where the blanks (disconnected people) are chased by the censors because the blanks steal cable so their children can watch the educational shows and learn to read, and they are forced to use clandestine printing presses to teach them.

My hand position moves all over the place as I type

Clearly not a touch typist, then. The hands goes over the F and J (that's why the bumps are there on the keys, after all) and the fingers extend or fold to reach out to the other keys, but never move. And to use Shift with a key you use the one that's on the other hand than the one pressing the key. However, that's the formal version for typewriters, where you don't have extended sequence pressed with a change key. For long sequences of Ctrl+key, I tend to do as you do and use always the same Ctrl to press them all. However, individual Ctrl+key presses may benefit of the Right Ctrl key.

Multiple layouts for my native creates the need to engage in "mental modes" where your muscle memory tries to adapt to the layout you remember. I tend to configure the keyboard for the layout I use more frequently, even if it differs from the one printed in the keyboard. That makes for some confusing times for the rarer keys, though :)

Years later after going through shitloads of therapy I realized that despite what they did to me, I still wanted to be friends with them.

Was the therapist religious? That sounds too much like "the other cheek" to me...

Standing ovation

A former co-worker messaged me via LinkedIn to tell me about a job (that I got). But other than that... No use.

Lying TO me is a dick move, sure; but making me carry your lie for you is worse.

Agreed. For me in most cases it's a relationship-ending offense.

Do you have any suggestions for people that hates physical exertion and never will risk skydiving?

What instance of needing a burned bridge to be intact can you describe?
