I think we've all walked by a giant important point.
These nearly-all-male network state fans have such compelling ideas that women outside their immediate circles would rather Xerox "bits of their bodies" than engage with those ideas. Their outreach "embassy" attracts even fewer women every day. Possibly even an average number rounding to zero.
Right now it seems like their polities will be remembered in the same religious studies lessons that teach about the Shakers.
This reminds me of the reaction when I point out that to non-native English speakers that Canadian students may not have had as much English grammar instructions as they did.
Also this brought to mind all those times I've been taken to task about my own phrasing.
Gatekept by non-readers indeed.
Even just saying it was mescaline would help it make more sense.
People who seem impressive until you listen to their ideas are a real theme around here.
I came here for his full-throated support of Apple Music staying installed no matter what and I am so sorely disappointed.

That was a bit surprising to me too, apparently no floor scale in the airlock leading to the server floor, or not even an airlock just a door. Also no security supervision, or at least one which was letting things slide.
(Assuming for the purposes of my post that this isn't just an updated instance of Poe's Law.)
Weird how these authors never think this through to the part where they're the scrawny whiners spending time posting annoying things on the internet, and the obvious targets of the people training for actual things (war, paramilitarism, martial arts, target shooting competitions, et cetera) to pick fights with so they have somebody to beat up.
That startup founder. Is he okay?
