I had been at work for two hours, but yes.

I missed the “X” in that title, and read “EFF is leaving the Electronic Freedom Foundation,” and was very confused.

You keep saying “I understand” and then displaying that you don’t understand.

I mean, I can explain why Grand Moff Tarken blew up Alderaan. I understand why he chose to do that. There is no slippery slope from there to “it’s ok to blow up planets.”

It is crucial that you understand the motivations of your enemy, and understand why he makes the decisions he does. You aren’t going to defeat him by guesswork.

There is a difference between “justify” and “explain.” He’s not saying what happened is OK, he’s explaining why some people were motivated to ruin what most purple thought of as a good thing.

If I had the skills. . .

This is the worst headline I’ve read all day.

A good point.

Wait, how many of those do we have? I’d expect us to have at least 10,000 given how we are supposed to be the bastion of goddamn freedom. Can hardly claim to be the stalwart defender of democracy if we don’t have enough ammo for at least a month.

And if we don’t have ammo, maybe we shouldn’t be starting wars with nations that have a military.

If I could get a slide-out keyboard, like I had on my sidekick, or even a T9, I’d ditch autocorrect in a heartbeat.

No, just autocorrect deciding it knows better than me.

Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the worst is these: Vader was right again.

No, that’s the 35th rule.

Rule 34 applies.

No, not that one. Rule of acquisition #34.

I think maybe someone should be worrying about it.

We can’t tell if it’s pointlessly gendered unless wet know what the questions are about. Seems likely to be a study of some kind, and knowing how men perceive other men, for example, might be valuable data.

I’ll admit outright that I’m just not interested in most people.

But I’m terrible with names, even with the people I am interested in. I can tell you all kinds of things about a person, just not their name.

It’s kind of bizarre.

Might have been. But there are dozens of us.

In this case, the enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. Nothing more.

Always has been. Sometimes my enemy’s enemy and I want the same thing for a little while.

Maxim 29.

That waste heat is very humid, which causes corrosion and mold issues.

Has he ever apologized for anything? Ever? Even sarcastically?
