I just checked Reddit to see if this headline was there, and I didn't find it. At least not near the top anywhere. Isn't that strange? /s

I only know because I interned there and it's something they talked about. Maybe it was always preceded with 'civil' I just don't remember that as well. The big issue amongst the workers when I was there was that in principle they supported Citizens United, and most of the employees did not support it in practice.

Just adding my experience to the topic, not sure why I got down voted for it. I'm not trying to push anyone to be libertarian just pointing out other ways the definition can be used.

I would like to throw out there that the ACLU is a libertarian organization that would likely line up with the majority of the beliefs of Lemmy users. With that said I understand most people aren't using libertarian in its 'correct' meaning as the ACLU does.

I agree. And I cant rightfully feel that way and not contribute more so here's to turning a new leaf

First console I downloaded dlc on (Skies of Arcadia) First game I uploaded my own content for (Jet Grind Radio) First console I emulated games on (Genesis and NES) First console I downloaded and burnt discs of full games (too many)

And I raised some really nice Chao (SA2)

What a great console.

I got in trouble for doing homework at school. Because it was meant to be done at home.

I have the soundcore liberty air 2. They have good sound quality and fit the bill for what you're looking for. Looks like $30 on Amazon. That said, I do need to push them in occasionally while exercising but I haven't experienced earbuds where I don't have to do that.

I like the book Hyperion's description. Kinda reminds me of how that Hackers depiction looks, except more massive and there are AIs (and other intelligences and processes) roaming around, enforcing rules, running algorithms.

Confidence goes so much further than you imagine. You don't need to be tall and physically attractive, but you will figure that out. If you think of yourself as unattractive, so will others. I have a gnome-esque friend who embraced his geekiness, found a style that worked for him (outdoorsy/woodsman style) and since then has had plenty of romantic success. If you can have non-romantic relationships, you can also have romantic ones. You really think the only thing preventing them from becoming romantic is the thought 'if only they were taller /more physically attractive'? You have things to offer, you just need to recognize that fact.
