If I can get it later, personally I don't back it up. I have lost 100tb of media before and since then I've redownloaded most of it. For that stuff, if I forget about it then it wasn't important. When I care about it, I'll remember and just go get it then.

Oh I'm not stopping. Just pointing out how this is hurting people's retirement.

My 401k today is $520 less than what it was Jan 21st. I put in almost $600 every 2 weeks.

That's a good chunk of change that just disappeared. I can only imagine how much someone with a bigger retirement account than I have is hurting.

A "special Government employee" (or "SGE") is an officer or employee in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government who is appointed to perform important [...] for a period not to exceed 130 days during any period of 365 consecutive days.

May 30th is 130 days from Jan 20th.

Could be around when there were Canadian trumpers and the whole trucker protest thing.

The DMV (or secretary of state offices) I know won't see you without an appointment.

That was such a disingenuous comment. Literally relying on the peoples lack of history knowledge to distort the truth. It's fucking doublespeak.

Don't lie to my face and tell me I like it.

The health insurance industry sole obligation is to make money and that is directly in opposition to their product, which is to pay for healthcare.

This feels a little defeatist. Oh no, it's too far along we should have stopped it years ago.

Never stop until fascism is stopped, no matter how hard it may become.

The supply chain comment makes me wonder if they might need new pagers soon.

It is the obligation of every university to refuse to cooperate beyond the minimum amount required by law. No one in the administration is working in good faith. Make them require the judicial branch.

Indirect becomes nebulous. At what degree of indirect harm do we set that limit. Almost every action we do may cause indirect harm to others. It might be better phrases as "physically" harms someone. I don't want to get into someone doing something to themselves like taking drugs and restrict it solely on the basis that it will hurt their family and friends to see what happens to them.

I use it as the core base of my beliefs, but that doesn't mean I don't think that freedom divests them of any responsibility for their indirect actions. It's the default position until something convinces me why it should be restricted or outlawed.

I also limit it to individuals working alone. Once they work in groups and organize the damage that can be done is different. Or doing it for commercial reasons. I believe private businesses can only exist under strict regulation.
