Shareholders want the line to go up. Trapping everyone into endlesss subscriptions is a great way to guarantee revenue.

Just skimmed part of those links and… wow what a looney.

Same for me. I really really dug the atmosphere, art, all of it. But I got to mid game and it just felt like a slog all of a sudden. Kept putting it off and then never came back to it.

Same for me, I must love everything I see.

while running errands, such as walking the dog or committing crimes

Ok fair point.

So two thoughts:

1. Get more comfortable with making these people wait. You want an email to give me a better price? That’s fine it will take me a minute to lookup my email address. It’s actually not that bad once you get used to doing this. I do it religiously now when I’m traveling and it’s never been an issue.

2. Consider using DuckDuckGo’s email feature. They will quickly generate human-friendly throwaway addresses like “geek-rhino-spoon” at duck dot com. I have the ddg browser on my phone and once you have it set up, it takes just a second to search “ddg email” and first link goes to the page that generates a new address for you. So it’s super quick to do on the fly. When they forward emails to you, there is a banner at the top with a link to deactivate that throwaway address you used should you start getting spam. It’s pretty slick in my experience.

Edit: fixed a typo

I’m no expert but I don’t think that’s how bell curves work.

The rectum is not the same as the anus.

Excellent examples, thanks. Your last line nails on the head where my thoughts are at these days.

Excellent history lesson, cheers.

Just want to point out that going to Suriname is going the wrong direction if you are trying to reach the USA. Also even IF the boat had drugs and IF it was destined for the USA, it seems like this would be a job for a coast guard vessel to intercept and arrest the smugglers. Just executing random people in the ocean because they might be smugglers is murder.

This might be obvious to you dear reader but I feel like we need to say these things loudly and often.

Ok but since you brought it up, do YOU believe objective morality exists?

I mean it’s not nescessarily bullshit. FaceTime is end to end encrypted if I recall correctly so it could be used for anything. But this is completely ludicrous for other reasons. If the terrorists start passing notes do you ban pencil and paper?

You reminded me of this wisdom from Gandalf:

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
