The least death could do is take a pull. What a wheel sucker!

I've read several books in the Objectivists library, including Atlas shrugged, the fountainhead, and the virtue of selfishness.

For a certain kind of person, I do think they have value in showing a different ethical/moral framework. To wit, if you have been raised on the principal that you must always sacrifice your own happiness for others, then Onjectivist philosophy is quite novel and can actually be helpful in moving towards a more self-actualized thought mode.

For most others, however, it can turn you into a raging a-hole.

In terms of how tenable the overall principles are in practice, just remember that Rand herself went on social security.

I also believe that student loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.

An instrument in my lab is running jdk 1_8_131....and this is a recent/newish piece of equipment.

Creation of embryos should happen entirely outside the body of the female, followed by decapitation of the male as God intended.

Windows is like the corner prostitute: pay some money, usually get what you want although not the best, occasionally get some horrible disease

Linux is like the sweet SO: has its quirks but you love them for it. let's you grow in your skills but that can be challenging at times. Surprises you in good and bad ways.

Edit: for grammar

Can confirm that with pihole you still get these. I browse with vanilla chrome on my phone at home and use a pihole, and I get these messages.

Hey hey momma said the way you move, gonna make you shake, gonna make you groove.

Iambic (some-number)-ter FTW

Same junk, different year. Remember Carter vs. Reagan and the delay of release of the Iranian hostages to discredit Carter? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Rhode Island Red or a hybrid thereof (e.g. Golden Comet).

Great egg layers (the hens of course, not the roo pictured) and very mild mannered.

Steve Jackson games FTW. That mofo even predicted 9/11.

"But if there was a third option with any chances of winning, things would look different anyway."

Aye, there's the rub.

Give a man a fire and he is warm for a day.

Set a man on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life.

Surely you overestimate their chances.

I bought my Tesla 4 years ago before EM went full douche mode. I actually quite like the car but would not buy one these days on account of him.

Similar in principle to carbon emissions: yeah, people individually have a carbon footprint, but corporations and industrial activities dwarf that.
