Digging in on the wrong side of history is a core tenet of conservatism.

He was hit on his right Dumbo wing, was absolutely, accidentally on target.

My take, informed from decades of personal experience, is the most effective form of suicide prevention is to create an environment (world), in which one can legitimately and actively, choose to participate in when we’re at our most vulnerable.

For me, my depression and suicidality spawns from my inability and unwillingness to develop my sociopathy to a level required to be mistaken for an acceptable participant in the world today.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment.

Make the shareholders responsible for the morality of the corporation.

If one has been found to have acted in a sufficiently harmful manner to the society within which it resides, its assets and capital should be seized, auctioned off or destroyed, and the proceeds distributed to their victims.

I create unique email addresses for every organisation and service I deal with, including an obfuscated date, so when an address is compromised I can nuke it with a hard rejection, and regenerate as needed. This all feeds into a catchall mailbox, with server-side sieve rules to filter the stuff I actually care about.

I besides some account specific and burnt addresses, I don’t actively track of any of the addresses I’ve created, it would be in the hundreds by now.

One benefit of this crazy setup is there’s one less common identifier to match across disparate data stores.

Finally, no one should do any of The above. From experience I consider it pathological.

A broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.

All of those concepts were spawned from lead-addled generations, microplastics are their unleaded gift to their progeny.

Finally, taxes don’t pay for anything when the funding originates from the issuing entity of a fiat currency.

Not sure I understand your point

Basically MMT.

I never claimed education shouldn’t be paid for, nor that resources shouldn’t be applied to its provision, but a society which levels the financial burden on the student is imposing an artificial and indefensible barrier on their collective progress.

Further, education can only be framed as expensive when it is not appropriately valued as the investment it is.

Finally, taxes don’t pay for anything when the funding originates from the issuing entity of a fiat currency.

A society which charges students to acquire knowledge values neither.

Object permanence applies to tangible objects, basically things explained by physics and constituted from energy.

A nation is a construct of collective imagination, much like religion and economics.

National patriotism is a religion which worships dirt.

No serious entity can legitimately claim the arts don’t get funding when security theatre this entertaining exists.

A broadly educated population is toxic to conservative ideologies.

It’s not how much they took, it’s how little it took.

The US has the cheapest representation their money can buy.

I’ve been calling all fossil fuels ‘artisanal energy’. It will eventually become as practical as other handmade, small batch products.

Configuring multiple v4 addresses on an interface is a kludge, typically only used on hosts which apply inter-network routing logic. It’s an explicit, primary function of the standard v6 specifications.

With v4, you would use either RFC1918 and NAT, or plumb a public address to the host.

With v6 you should use a ULA and an address with a public prefix, and selectively open ports/services to on appropriate address.

An example is the file sharing and administration daemons on my NAS are only bound to its ULA. I don’t need to worry whether it will accidentally be exposed publicly through fat fingering my firewall config, because it will never route beyond my gateway.

I use ULA prefixes to ensure the management interfaces of my devices don’t leak via public routes.

It’s one of the unique parts of the standard IPv6 stack not back ported to IPv4, that an interface on any host can be configured with multiple addresses. It permits functional isolation with the default routing logic.

IPv6 is far from perfect, but the majority of the arguments I’ve seen against deploying it are a mixture of laziness, wilful ignorance, and terminal incuriosity.
