It is a really interesting, very scary technology that requires a solid institutional foundation to provide trust. Musk degrades trust, he doesn't build it.

"...they [Infowars] strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal."

What a fantastic read.

I understand your frustration, and I think he is guilty of the things he is accused of also. I still think the justice department made the correct democratic decision of setting the precedent that the executive branch does not prosecute political figures when the electorate has a chance to make that decision.

I hate that the electorate decided that none of those offenses were damning enough to flush that turd, but that's democracy. He won the popular vote and it's up to those of us unhappy with the result to convince others that we need better leadership.

The justice dept went easy on Trump because it sets a very dangerous precedent for the current administration to use the power of the justice dept on political rivals. He was removed from office and his actions were investigated and displayed to the public. Under normal circumstances, those actions should make it so he cannot run again. The electorate are designed to be the check on political power, but it failed.

I fear elections no longer have that check. I do however believe the justice department made the right decision. I don't think it should criminally prosecute political rivals, because then we end up with situations like Nivalny dieing in prison. The justice department played it's role by exposing all of the criminal behavior, the electorate did not by allowing someone that dangerous back into power.

Okay, then what is the process for creating good policy?

Littlefinger embodied as a political party.

If the Ottoman Empire wasn't the middle East, what was it?

Holy shit! Me too, except I've decided I like it. It is a compelling story. It goes a bit hard on the scientific accuracy which can kind of interrupt the flow, though.

I find the most interesting part is the insight of modern Chinese commentary of recent Chinese history. I wasn't sure what popular sentiment was, or what criticism / critiques would be allowed to be published by the party.

That doesn't really have the same rigidity. There would be no guarantee for others that it would remain available to them as long as they adhere to those principles.

Said another way, a bad faith actor could create a patent and make it available to FOS developers, but then turn around and sell that patent to someone who will charge those same developers.

I suppose you could have a third legally binding document that stipulates the terms of use, but kinda wish it was just handled under the patent.

Might be a stupid question, but I'd there a GNU license equivalent to patents? Could you patent something that could be used for free, but not used by a company in a for-profit matter?

I usually do quad stretches, forward bend, downward dog, childs pose, pretzel, and figure 4. I think the figure 4 has had the largest impact loosening up the glute to knee connection.
