We're about 80% of the way to Idiocracy.

WTF are you talking about? I'm sorry, I can't parse what you've said as a response to what I said. I do, however, hear that you are very angry. I'm sorry for your frustration and hope you are able to figure out some positive way to channel that energy. I agree, there's a lot going on in the world that is super-upsetting. I just don't think we'll solve anything by dehumanizing broad swathes of the population. Sure, some people are assholes and they're certainly over-represented among Trump supporters. But, for example, the other dude who responded about his mother. Someone like her is not such a black-and-white case. And, generally, more is accomplished by trying to understand the motivations of others than by dismissing them as bad people.

Edit: But, yes, some people are bad (Trump, for example). And, it is not a good use of time to try to understand their motivations. I guess it comes down to how and where to draw that boundary of empathy, so-to-speak.

If that let's you disengage from the issue, then OK. But, alas, reality is more nuanced than that.

A lot of it boils down to abortion. When you see abortion as baby murder, it would take an awful lot to offset that moral significance. In other words, many who support Trump wouldn't exactly condone rape, corruption, etc, but they feel abortion is a much larger moral issue.

Drums in the deep!

In fact, reality is not apparently basically rational. Why does anything exist at all? Surely, the trivial solution would be a simpler state of affairs. Why is existence not nothing forever? Why there exists anything instead of nothing (let alone you and me, in particular) does not stand to reason.

I doubt it. I don't think information that doesn't involve him directly even enters into his awareness.

I suggest spending it on additional defamation lawsuits against Donald Trump.

This is the correct answer if privacy is your priority. They're not particularly cheap, however.

And how're we supposed to learn when y'all keep dumbing shit down?

I know this would vary from locale to locale, but, presumably, there are some animals that do not require a permit to kill (mice in mouse traps, for example). How does this work? Is there a list of "always OK to kill" species?

Edit: Thank you everybody for the replies!

 

Hi smart people,

If I have several computers on my home network and I have not set any explicit QoS rules on my router, how is bandwidth allocated? For example, if computer 1 is downloading a torrent at max speed and a second computer starts a download, how is the bandwidth allocation between the two determined? Thanks!

 

It just seems crazy to me given the power imbalance. A cynical part of me suspects that things are playing out exactly as some evil strategists hoped they would, which, given all the children dying, is super-depressing.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
