Very intriguing story and person and what a drive….but for what and at what cost? As much as I like a good story sticking it to the man I just can’t get over just how egotistical this guy is. He’s hurting so many people just for the fun of it and not once using his skills for some common good. I ended the book having almost no compassion for him because of this and it kinda ruined the cool hacker story I was looking forward too.
Annie Ernaux - The years
An almost beat-ish story through France history seen from the authors eyes and life. Hard to describe but very much worth the read. The melancholy and nostalgia is strong but not overly done. I absolutely recommend this book especially if you know the basics of France history the last 50 years.

elcuello Link ParentInteresting. I found Dark Matter original and exiting. Maybe because I haven’t read much like it I don’t know. The show is also good but given your dislike for Crouch I will not recommend it to you.Interesting. I found Dark Matter original and exiting. Maybe because I haven’t read much like it I don’t know.

Imagine if some of them used the motivation for something like this. And not even in a legal sense. Just to create enough insecurity and fear in these assholes that they “might” reconsider some actions beforehand. Just expose them and fuck the consequences like they do.

Comment on Svend Brinkmann: ‘If you place conditions on forgiveness, love or freedom, you have already destroyed them’ in ~science

A grudge to me is an unnecessary obstacle that obviously can be difficult to handle and take time to process but in the end is something I need to handle one way or another because as skybrian said "what do I gain?" Though that seems a bit contradictory to what Brinkmann is advocating. I'm not big on revenge so letting go is usually the way I go. Then again I'll certainly not rule out the possibility that this approach is lackluster if shit really hits the fan.

elcuello Link ParentIs the result of being unforgiving to a person always a grudge? Maybe I just don’t fully understand the word forgiveness or I interpret it more like letting go or forget about it.Is the result of being unforgiving to a person always a grudge?

elcuello Link ParentI mean he literally says the words “both sides” in his statement…It's not about being "neutral" or "trying to play both sides" like some people claim

“I am appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The suffering and pain caused on both sides is a human tragedy,”

At the end of the day these companies don’t give a fuck about what you need or want just as long as you spend more time looking at and interacting with their product they’ll find a way. Don’t do their market research for them.

Comment on Hayden Panettiere dies at 36 in ~movies

The speculation is always going to be there and much more when it’s kept under wraps. It’s none of our business sure but it’s the one question everybody’s asking and it’s almost unnatural to not ask that question if someone told you a 36yo died.

Sure there’s probably some things you don’t catch but it’s not intricate fine art in it self so you’ll be entertained either way.
Ha I just posted this on the other thread. It’s great!
