Ah, sorry, I thought you were single and that this would be a fun first date. My mistake, and enjoy the hike w/your boyfriend.

Nothing wrong with that. Mistakes happen, and the ability to clarify them and work well together afterwards is more important than not making mistakes.

That's the joke.

Indeed. The raw fact of how people tend to work doesn't make it right. It's just that hating on them for it is ineffectual.

The state cannot have been absolutely static - if it was, the big bang would not have occurred, and the same stasis would be existing now, unchanged.

It's not people's fault, but it is their responsibility.

They are not to blame, but they must handle what has been passed on to them. It has always been thus.

Deciding "it's not your problem" and choosing to blame others will simply make the problem last longer.

The fix starts with you. In my life, it started with me.

This is just terrible planning. I hate that economic philosophy.

Inflation is real, though, and it is also theft.

Yeah, this is something I stand firmly behind. Fundamentally, our issue is social and cultural. We are armed, and so when we lash out, that has greater impact.

That doesn't mean we should disarm. We are armed for good reason. But we should address the underlying cultural issues.

Yeah. Violence is generally not the answer. But when it is, it's the only answer.

There's a standard. /usr was often a different partition.

/bin - system binaries
/sbin - system binaries that need superuser privileges
/usr/bin - Normal binaries
/usr/sbin - normal binaries that require superuser privileges
/usr/local/bin - for executables that aren't 'packaged' - i.e., installed by you or some other program system-wide

There used to be: Signal.

With Signal as your default messaging app, you could just tell people to switch to Signal and use one app. If both parties had Signal, secure messaging was used automatically.

Friends and family slowly started using Signal, because it's just a nice messaging app, plus it's potentially more secure.

Then Signal decided to tank SMS. ..and slowly, friends and family started leaving Signal, and now it's just us security-conscious folks again.
