I did not read it that way.
- Comment on We are a lot more alike than we are different 3 days ago:
Every molecule that makes up our entire existence came from the fusion of a hot star, and no matter what it looks like right now, it will once again be both the precursor and the product of many more stars.
In that regard we are all identical and inconsequential.

This is not an area of law I stay up to date on, but that did not used to be the case. Is that a rather new development?
Last I knew most courts were holding that since customers are sharing this information with third parties (sharing with their phone companies, Apple and Google, Facebook, giving everything away anyway, most individuals have waived any claim to an expectation of privacy. The right to privacy is founded upon reasonable expectations. I did hear about some pushback on that, more recently, but not from the Court of Appeals from DC, which has jurisdiction over appeals taken from federal agencies, prior to the Supreme Court. I’d be grateful to be shown otherwise. About time, if true.

Search and seizure, the Fourth Amendment, only applies to State actors. The only exception is when a private entity is acting as an agent of the government, such as in the case of private prisons.
Congress needs to pass consumer protection laws aimed at privacy in the digital age. They haven’t updated this sort of thing I believe since 1996. It used to be legal for adult video stores to disclose the tapes people rented, but Congress passed a privacy law forbidding it when some journalists disclosed some of their rentals. The scandal had some cool name. I forgot what.
- Comment on My parents never did any extravagant trips like to Disney world or Sea world. Knowing what I know now I'm kinda grateful for that. 4 weeks ago:
Had a laugh picturing this. You have to use a call to action to get people to help you get through. Get them to look at you and then look the way you’re going, and start tapping shoulders to help you through. “Coming through” “make a hole” “help me through please.” As you catch people’s attention, nod and gesture to direct their attention forward. It’s like surfing. You’ll catch waves. Helps to be male with a sobering voice I think.

The people and prices are insane. The behavior is one thing, but the sheer number of people crammed into these tiny spaces is so uncomfortable and unpleasant. I’m alllllll set with that.
Look, the endorphins and other neurotransmitters that come from floating through the air on that big swing or down the giant slide are the same whether you’re in Orlando or Oneida. Who needs all the other bullshit of Florida.
Maybe the one in California isn’t as unappealing. There, at least you’re in California and not Florida.
- Comment on Should i be giving a shit about my posture? 1 month ago:
No they don’t.
You’re better off taking a few minutes to really relax your muscles in your next and back. Start by breathing in as deep as you can into your belly, then in the same breath, switch to your lungs, and breathe in as deeply as you possibly can until it hurts, and then exhale. Do that for a minute and then when you think you can’t possibly breathe in any deeper, breathe in deeper still.
If you do this for a few minutes and feel crazy muscle spasms in your neck and back, you need to start taking a lot more deep, relaxing breaths.

This is why you have to install the latest software updates on your license plate. One time I let my gas cap firmware get outdated and someone downloaded my car.

- Comment on What is the purpose of this plastic piece? 1 month ago:
The real interesting question is those two holes in the end of two of the prongs.
What are they for?
A long time ago there were two little dimples inside the outlet that corresponded to those holes, they would kind of help snug the cord in place and hold it in. Moderate outlets don’t need that anymore since they grip the prongs inside of the outlet, so why are we still drilling holes in all the plugs?
Well, it turns out, that if you don’t drill them, consumers, think there is something wrong with the plug and don’t want to use it. True story.

Hezzbollah literally shoots rockets at Israel multiple times per week. Wtf are you talking about?

Maybe all an army has to do to take over the entire world is being their families to the front. Can’t shoot back at them because their families are there. So they pretty much win every engagement. Problem solved. No more wars.

Is there any time of day it’s not atrocious? Seems like any time would have basically equal risk for collateral casualties.
To be effective it all had to be at once. It seems that they waited until the pagers were being used to coordinate a fresh wave of rocket attacks with promises of more to come before setting them off.

I’m sure Israel caught a lucky break through whoever they had in Taiwan, to get this opportunity.

Stunning that you’re being downvoted. This was a brilliant attack on a group that actually attacks Israel actually indiscriminately on the daily.

- Comment on Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA? 2 months ago:
Corporations, now. Can’t even really call it a practice. They are businesses that employ doctors. In law, most civilized places, you can’t own stake in a law firm unless you are a member of the bar. Makes for a more service focuses industry.
Another thing I haven’t seen mentioned is the way people find doctors now has changed. People look online, and there are plenty of sites that are just aggregators for data about doctors. Anyone can scrape that info and then setup a webpage to rate doctors. So now doctors are finding that they aren’t getting patients if they aren’t getting good ratings, so now we have doctors just telling patients what they want to hear, prescribing what they want to be prescribed. Gotta keep up that 9.8/10 rating to keep patients coming in.
