Legacy from a time when it was used as authentication. I guess. I sure find myself not reproducing my past signatures very well. Never got me in to trouble.

I'm afraid I will get malware, just stepping in to the play store. Yep.

Just install the bare minimum and get out asap.

If you loose an arm or a leg as a russian fighter, you are not gonna survive. Doubtful you will even be looked at twice. A wounded russian is a MIA russian. Russia is a cold place. Not just literally.

So you can continue to be shitty in family game night! Don't you also want to continue to cause disagreements and conflicts between family members?

If you would otherwise vote for donald; go ahead and do the protest vote.

I have a feeling Israels leadership don't agree with you. Their chosen war tactic seem to hinge on starving the enemy until they are ineffective. To them; killing Hamas members are more important than any number of civilian suffering or death.

Corporate tactic, very secret: Don't self-destruct.

Nice recommendation! I tried it and it's probably the first keyboard I actually like.

I think there is confusion over the long- and short scale naming system for numbers.

Long Billion: 10^12^

Short Billion: 10^9^

There is this concept of 'Us and them', a in group and out group. In conflict it is often utilized to make your guys hate the other group and 'dehumanize' them so that you can prevent your guys directing sympathy towards the enemy. The other guys may have different language and culture and whatnot. Language is one of the best barriers for sympathy and is well recognized by the ones that use this to their advantage.

To a large extent, I think it is the same principles that prevent people from recognizing the suffering of individuals of other species.

We apply importance to the recognition of suffering so we can prevent it. I say we apply it to everyone.

Now, of course we can nit-pick and try to separate out who or what we apply sympathy to. You could designate some things as just automatons; such as ants, bacteria or even viruses. But I'm not gonna do that now.
