  • If the wave of a magic wand resulted in the best win/win outcome possible, what would it look like?

    America keeps spending on military and forces some kind of structure around the world, Chinese keeps making bank off trade, but not too much bank?

    I don’t know any more. US involvement around the world isn’t all bad or all good. I dont think the Chinese have any desire to be morality police in any way unless it’s economically beneficial including on topics like child labor, usury, hell, possibly even slavery. The us easily offset rogue nations for decades with it’s alliances but those are all crashing. Hell, I don’t know what up or down any more.












  • The psychology of this case, and other cases like it, is really baffling. The article didn’t go into much detail except mentioning the prior attempt, the millions of dollars of life insurance, and her cover story about him being addicted to opioids.

    When investigators found those details the picture must have became clear.

    What causes one person in a long-term relationship to off the other one? Why not just, you know, do what everyone else does and divorce? I’m sure being a divorcee sucks but it can’t be as bad as a convicted aggravated murderer who will live life behind bars

    I understand where you’re coming from, but of course the Linux I want to use is not a business with a centralized marketing department vying for market share. It’s something that I can customize and make into whatever I want it to be.

    I think that’s why many people want to use Linux - they’re not pigeonholed into decisions made to gain market share, they’re free to choose whatever works well for them.

    Paradoxically, 20 plus years ago people chose PCs and Microsoft over Apple for much of the same reason. We could select our own hardware from any manufacturer, easily run our own executables and develop code in any direction desired.
