If that's true, it's more than money. If you take money from the mafia and don't deliver, it's about your life. That could be one of the many reasons he tried to back away from the purchase. I don't get why CIA isn't all over this.

And it's not just about the election. They're trying to destabilize everything in the west.

I guess you're referring to the part I edited out where I said that there doesn't seem to be any evidence that life is supposed to be easy. I don't think that contradicts humans trying to make life easy.

But it seems to me that a lot of meaning is derived from being at the limit of what is impossible and staying at the level of easy makes people depressed and unhappy.

Dunno what kind of economic model we'd need if we had star trek -level replication technology.

You get to exist and understand that you do. That's pretty huge already, as far as I can tell.

I see no evidence that life is supposed to be easy, even if it is for the majority of us commenting here.

That might've been the plan all along.

I sure fucking hope it's not 94% for Republicans.

I have been using X11 since 1996, and I never felt that it was very good. Sure, at the start it was better the then state-of-the-art desktop (Windows 95), mostly thanks to Linux, but that advantage went away in 2001 when OS/X was released. And even Windows went past it at some point, perhaps around Windows 7 or 8.

Wayland took a long time to get there, but it definitely is there today.

The person you replied to said that

All fascist ideologies will use the argument of “Protecting the children”

Did they? Did you just make a reverse strawman fallacy?
