Well no shit. 100% freedom is illogical. Critical thought free us from having to deal in absolutes. It should be obvious that a "free" society should not grant individuals absolute freedom commit violence against others. Fascism is violence.
The only way you would ever accomplish this is if you put us all in cells, but we would be equal right? This is how you have made yourself the enemy of the people. You use your delusions to justify stripping everyone of their freedom. You are the fascist, you just can't realize it because it is too painful to see you are everything you hate. |

I have been noticing an increasing irrational hatred people are starting to have for "antivaxxers". One of my favorite things lately is to ask them which is more impactful? A tiny minority of "antivaxxers" or millions of unvaccinated immigrants from countries with poor medical standards flooding in? Heads explode with cognitive dissonance as they desperately scramble for excuses. The usual reaction is just accusations of racism.

Problem is that he already made up his mind long ago, he considers trump guilty no matter what, look at the way he writes, things like ''well this investigation could take 4 more years, that's why he isn't convicted yet'' For me 2 years of investigation with virtually no results means most of the accusations against trump are bullshit, not saying that he is 100% not guilty but the more time passes the more innocent he looks, of course hellfish doesn't see it that way.
You know what is interesting regarding your last comment, is under the new sexual assault laws in Canada, if you were to accuse him of rape he would essentially have to prove he didn't rape you. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089923.0I suppose this is just the general trend of thinking of these types of people, everything is relative in the pursuit of their vision of social justice, even pillars of freedom and law. Yeah that is pretty insane, it is like that in many places even though it's not a law but essentially anyone who is accused of rape is seen as guilty instantly, which is disgusting. It also seems extremely hard to prove you didn't rape someone, specially if you actually had sex with that person and that person decides to lie about it. I blame SJW's and feminism. Also women who got caught lying about it walked almost free, almost no punishments or really mild ones compared to what the man accused of rape would have gotten. It is interesting how the same people who claim to care so much about rape victims have no issues with sending an innocent man to prison to actually be raped. It is almost as if they never cared about rape victims at all and only were using them as cover for their own ideological goals... |

How much of the structure is flammable and is there any built in fire suppression, like at least a pump to the ocean with hose connections internally for fire fighting?
For regular guy reading about fire in the middle of ocean this might sound silly but Actually this is a really important question but fire is ships biggest enemy. Structure should be as inflammable as possible and there should be ways to detect and put off fire fast. How many catamarans in the ocean have water pumps for fire suppression? The platform I'm in is close to the living space of a large catamaran (at a much lower price). A fire extinguisher should be fine. You know keeping a fresh water reservoir of some kind could be used as ballast as well as for fire suppression, especially if you had a smaller elevated tank. Pumping the water up would also be a viable method of storing any extra energy you collect to then later use the potential energy to run a generator via gravity flow. I know you are trying to keep it minimal, but some times good design will do everything you need and more. Well...we have the hose in the kitchen sink to fresh water. And the bathroom. Only other room is the bedroom. This isn't a Blue Frontiers seastead where we theorize about all sorts of tech that has been done in some lab somewhere. We buy stuff at the store and use it. This isn't cutting edge theoretical technology here. Not sure what you imagine I mean, but I imagine you have some kind of renewable energy system that includes batteries, in which case this could increase that capacity for energy storage for use off of peak generation times using simple pumps, tubes, and tubs. Not sure how you expect to grow with this kind of attitude, but was just trying to be constructive. I suppose I can go back to just ignoring this again... |

The media doesn't hate Trump. They are simply out there to make money. And they have decided that there is more money to be made by appearing to hate him.  This is rather simplistic. It started out as being for profit, then it shifted into a motive to cover for their sugar daddies, then it became complicity, now they are in cover their ass mode. If they fail a lot of people in the media will be seeing lots of time in court rooms and cells, not to mention bankruptcies galore. |

The sword cuts both ways buddy <3
Innocent until proven guilty is not a defense to accusations, it's a right you have to not be convicted and punished without due process. When Trump or an ally of his is convicted without due process you can scream innocent until proven guilty and you will have a lot of support. Innocent until proven guilty does not mean accusations can not be leveled and it is not a defense once allegations are made. Well, not really. For instance if I accuse you of raping me right now, you are considered innocent and it is a defense, you don't have to prove you didn't rape me, I have to prove you raped me. Careful, he is touchy about that one. |

Could be a trap, or could be their plan to remain in power. While North Korea placed their bets only in the military, the Chinese went for wealthiness (capitalism). After all, is not like you are forced to ask loans from them... Venezuela got them in exchange for oil AND supporting their international political position (ie. Taiwan, Tibet, Hong Kong...) during Chavez. But after Maduro did what he did to the economy, even China stopped loaning. They became an attractive alternative to the World Bank and the World Monetary Fund, with their Chicago school of economy thinking (growth by debt). "Forced" can be subjective. I would like to recommend a good book related to this subject. https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Economic-Hit-John-Perkins/dp/0452287081It describes in detail how powers can in fact force countries to enter into debt, then start harvesting the nation of all of its resources. |

TMAN and Lauda have thousands of unique feedbacks. The question of trust is a personal one. Is quantity an indicator of quality? |

I do not need to tell you why I excluded you. If you think that I do, then you misunderstand the system. Anyone is free to ignore such inquiries (regardless of who is asking).
I just thought you'd meet me halfway and explain its opinion, but apparently you never aspire to friendship on forum. I do not, no. Maybe the other two will be kind(er) to you. I think the question here is less of being "friendly" but more one of what is more important. Your logic for doing so, so people can learn and judge for themselves if it was a correct choice, or your personal enjoyment over gloating about wielding your power over people who have no recourse in the matter whatsoever? Why are you above reproach? Just because you are free to do something doesn't mean you should. So why should you? |

Amen!! As a mod lib, this shit is a no issue. Who gives a flying fuck if two groups of random citizens disagree with each other at a protest? The current antagonistic political climate is the only reason I have to keep reading about this. Both sides have ran with this story; it's so inflated its meaningless. Fuck the Elder, fuck those kids. I hope that's sufficiently neutral XD.
I just cant give a fuck about people getting offended at a protest.about something as divisive a reproductive rights. And I question the judgement of allowing 16 year old kids to even attend some shit like this (this is a Catholic school, damned kids cant even legally fuck yet). Sex education for Catholics is a non starter, but yet we allow the kids to go to something like this..
Let's focus on why we are easing sanctions on Russian oligarchs with proven ties to Russian intelligence. Let's talk about being in the middle of the longest government shutdown in American history. Let's talk about Maduro expelling all US diplomats and closing all embassies in reaction to a tweet. And let's hear Cohens testimony in open Congressional session.
That, my friends, is the hot topic for the week.
Sadly enough, for the right There is no neutral. You're either on their side if you agree with them 100%, or on the ennemy side if you have even a slight difference.... So you're the ennemy because you havent said the kid is a hero. Even though he's clearly an asshole too. That is funny. "The right" can at least have a discussion including facts, logic, and critical thinking. It seems to me the sole weapon of the left now days is projection. Orwell was right. You are the enemy because you have actively made yourself the enemy, seeking people to victimize while you justify it with endless relativism, equivocation, and Postmodernist "logic". I don't really see anyone here claiming the kid is a hero. I do however see lots of willfully ignorant people demonizing children who did nothing other than wear a hat that people are conditioned to think it is ok to be irrationally hostile and violent over. |

I'm only trading in Sterling on Coindesk. I looked at using their in-house dollar linked currency, and I was going to buy some alts with it, but I decided that I'd stick to Bitcoin and Sterling. That way I don't think I can lose. If I buy, and the price goes against me, then I'll just keep the Bitcoin for a couple of years.  There are a lot of really solid alts that you can fairly reasonably count on being around in a couple years that you could do the same with. I have been in this industry a while now, and been on every end of this situation from dev team, to market maker and trader, and I am telling you ignoring the alt pairs is a mistake. You just have to have a slightly different strategy, and do some simple due diligence on the alt first. You don't have to risk large amounts to take advantage of alt volatility... you just have to know what you are doing and enter at the right time. It is simple math, the risk is higher yes, but the returns are in a whole other ballpark if you know how to do it right. Once you get some returns take a portion of those and drop them into safer trades or cold storage. Repeat. |

Why is it no one can produce any evidence of Russian collusion? |

I think one side will cave before the end of February once federal employees really stop receiving paychecks and people don't receive their anticipated tax refunds. Probably Trump will be the one to cave (likely accepting the original $1.6 billion and calling it a win)
Well, Trump caved yesterday, with $0 for the wall. It's not over yet but I find it hard to believe that he can get anything now that his bluff's been called. Amazing how quick he left is to jerk itself off, never once double checking their information before stroking it in public. At least children aren't getting death threats over this one though. This was a temporary measure likely aimed at getting workers paid. It lasts 3 weeks. That is it. You can stop declaring victory now. I don't see him shutting down government in 3 weeks time. Thats just him posturing and appeasing his base whilst he tries figuring out a way out of a mess he created himself. I bet you everything that he won't get a dime from congress, and he won't shut down government. He is more likely to abuse emergency powers and that won't get him the wall. I didn't bother clicking that, but the man is a known liar and his words are meaningless. He vowed never to open government without the wall money. Yes the world is quite convenient when you can just dismiss facts for opinions. For anyone who thinks he has an excuse.... https://www.virustotal.com |

Democrats don't even realize that Trump has shifted the overton window on this entire issue. Immigration reform is not on the table at all. Amnesty is not on the table at all, not even for dreamers. The entire debate is "border wall" vs "really tight border security" which would be even more effective than a wall.
That is an invisible win for Trump.
Don't be overly dramatic, immigration reform was never on the fucking table anyways. The dems and GOP have been fighting over immigration for decades and it isn't getting fixed weather Trump try's to change the narrative or not. The hard right isn't going to let Trump give the democrats the dreamers or TPS, they wouldn't give it to him when he was getting 25b for the wall. Trump reportedly was listening to Kushner who told him to dig in and he could get the senate dems to split from Chuck to get the 5.7b passed. Actually again you talk a lot about things you aren't paying very close attention to. It was actually on the table early on remember? Of course not your mind is a giant leftist memory hole. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/26/trump-daca-deal-is-a-dream-come-true-for-democrats-commentary.htmlCNBC vanilla toast enough for you or is that a secret neonazi rightwing rag? Frankly I would have been happy if they took it because those people are already here and we could move on and stop the flow. Of course that wasn't good enough. It never is. They even admit it themselves, their entire strategy since day one has been to obstruct. This guy is pretty far left, even of you, and he has (shockingly) a way better grasp on the dynamics of this than you. Of course he lives here, you just pretend to know whats going on and judge from afar. |

What about it, as far as I know, not a single person involved in this has been nor have any of them even suggested that they were incarcerated or convicted without due process? Innocent until proven guilty is not a defense to accusations, it's a right you have to not be convicted and punished without due process. You and other liberals considered him guilty since day 1 which also made this whole investigation extremely bias against trump no matter what, even after a ton of fake news and evidence was proven to be, well, fake. Not to mention the FBI trying to find any straw to gasp for to prosecute him or his supporters is the same FBI implicated in the same crimes they accuse him of, well before any accusations were ever made against Trump. It is amazing how much of the argument of the left relies on "NO U!" A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic.
