Tell me in so many words how broken the American system is. I mostly agree, just want to emphasize the root problem is the legality of the business practice. The core question remains, sure. The more important questions are imo why is this legal and how can it be changed. The very basics should be that the system doesn't proliferate practices that inevitably pose such "greater good scenarios", these should only arise with illegal practices in the first place. Also: the notion of a greater good scenario implies that anything changes - I don't see anything meaningful changing as of yet. They changed the visibility of leadership on websites ffs . This is so sad.

The core question is simple enough, rule of law needs to be upheld regardless. I just hope the person never gets caught.

iirc some mushrooms do that without the corpse - the main mushroom is in the center underground, while the fairy ring is basically the fruit it produces (these are probably not the correct words to describe this - but thats the principle, I think :D)

This. Half of this thread is such an absurdly cruel and stupid oversimplification.

Just to make sure: I'm not trying to defend the nazis - the zealots that died as pows got what they deserved. But a lot of the common people never had a choice. It's mostly the lower income classes that had less of a choice as well. Just meat that got send to the fronlines. I guess I just don't get why people delight in their fates out of all the people/"nazis" they could hate on.

"We can disagree and still be friends" only works (and then it is a good sign of political culture) when both sides agree to respect each other as equal citizens and acknowledge to have the same rights. The "friend" relationship is generally perceived as an equal one - in this case it is implied, but might (depending on the context entirely) be anything but that.

I don't know where the pic from OP comes from, but I think it's a pretty clever caption.

Thanks for the suggestions! When you say model, do you mean the OSI model or just an actual network where I can tinker? Lettuce eat lettuce was kind enough to make a list of the basics - I'll use that as a guideline. Others have provided material as well; it seems I do not need to worry about filling time :)
