Tabs. I need more open tabs. Currently at 67.

Or even better, you can buy yourself a pet president.

I mean, fucking up is a common thing people do and is an integral part of the human condition. What should be emphasized about Jobs case is that he fucked up his own liver, learned the cause and treatments, used his wealth to cut in the waiting line to get a liver transplant, and then fucked his second liver just the same way. This is the definition of terminally stupid, and no UX focus will ever change that.

Remember, you always should read Trump's posts in a voice of a drunk Limerick aunt.

Is OP sour because the message was unsent before they agreed? Or tearing sexual innuendos towards minors are a pretty mild thing in Romania?

Any conservatives want to chime in on how they think this senile billionaires' pet will physically be able to hold for 8 years in one of the most challenging positions in the world?

"Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones. Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself.”

1964, I guess white oppressors forced him to write this.

Here's a thing I often think about.

Somewhen long, long time ago trees existed, but there were no microorganisms or fungi which could break apart wood, so for some 60 millions of years land was littered with unrotten trees.

Until these microorganisms and fungi came into existence and started to feast. That event made wood a perishable material, and people now have to treat wood in different ways in order to show down its decay.

Currently, humanity relies on plastics. And one large advantage of plastics is that they are, well, effectively non perishable. At the same time, humanity actively creates microorganisms that would be able to do what nature learned to do to wood.

If Michael Crichton taught us anything, it's the impossibility of containing such organisms in the lab. So I think it's fairly reasonable to say that humanity will face with natural plastic rot within the next hundred years.

Am I mad?

Can you imagine challenges that will bring? Think checking every plastic bit of an airplane? A car? A ship?
