The thing is, ‘liberalism’ has become a meaningless philosophy nowadays, because it’s absolutely void of any ideology deeper than “vote blue no matter who” (or its rest-of-the-world equivalents).
Some conservatives (those who equate ‘liberals’ with ‘leftists’ and who think that anything that deviates from tradition is ‘communism’) can be put in the same group, but most are just people who don’t know better and were led to believe some seriously sickening bullshit by those who want to take advantage of them. That’s why I think liberals are worse, because they should know better. They should be leading society to a better outcome, but they won’t, because they’re sellouts.
It's alarming to see the term "liberal" has become a pejorative in multiple languages. "Conservative," too, has become a meaningless epithet. Peopl...
Who cares about that shit? In the end, they will award it to the one who wants to start a nuclear war instead of the one who’s in jail for exposing war crimes.

Fortunately, my ban was only temporary. I must say I’m pretty happy with the service my hosting provider gave me. Support lady was very nice, quick and efficient. She didn’t really do anything, but still.
So, I got locked out of my own domain for running a port scan on it. How was your day?

El 10 de octubre de 1839 nació en Ronda, Francisco Giner de los Ríos, pedagogo, filósofo y ensayista español. Inspirado en la filosofía krausista introducida en la Universidad Central de Madrid por Julián Sanz del Río, fundó y dirigió la Institución Libre de Enseñanza. Tras la Guerra civil española, la obra de Giner en general, y la ILE en particular, fueron condenadas y ocultadas por el régimen de Franco, dentro del proceso de depuración del magisterio español, por considerar que su obra educativa introducía subrepticiamente el liberalismo tan condenado por la Iglesia.

Side neither with nations nor with parties. Be neither Russians, Poles nor Slavs. Rather, be men who hunger for truth, free from any thoughts of particular interests, and from speculative ideas concerning the Chinese, Africans or Europeans. The patriot always ends up hating the foreigner, and loses the sense of justice that once kindled his enthusiasm.

Big thanks for Ancient FM (https://ancientfm.com) for providing such a great free music stream which I have been enjoying for longer than I can remember; at least 15 years I’d guess.

Dinamarca prohíbe los Chromebooks en los colegios: "no cumplen en privacidad"
Una prohibición a escala nacional de la plataforma de Google para la enseñanza en dinamarca está sobre la mesa después de los resultados de una reciente investigación.
I was searching the Internet for several old, probably out-of-print books, and I was appaled at the huge amounts of money US bookstores ask for them. Dudes, they are used books, not Picasso paintings! And shipping costs are never included. These alone range between $30 and whatever the fuck they feel like charging you.
Seriously, what kind of people does that? These are not stores. They are terrorists holding books hostage and asking for ransom.
Yo nunca he sido partidiario de subir impuestos a los ricos más allá de un determinado umbral, porque saben cómo esquivarlos. Me parece una mejor idea crear un impuesto a los artículos de lujo, porque eso sí que no pueden evitarlo. Un rico siempre querrá hacer ostentación de su riqueza, y para eso tiene que consumir. Un IVA del, digamos, 40% no le va a detener por la misma razón que la subida del tabaco no hace que la gente deje de fumar. El Estado ingresa y el rico no se queja (tanto), porque al cabo de un tiempo ni lo notará, como nos pasa a todos.

So who did bomb that pipeline?
Now that Stadia is shutting down, it is the perfect time to go play a game there until the very moment that they pull the plug on the servers, so you can see if Overlord has any kind of basis in reality.

#nowplaying A Million Miles Away by マクロスMACROSS 82-99 https://neoncityrecords.bandcamp.com/album/a-million-miles-away This will always be a Future Funk classic, a genre that marks the ending of the Internet age when everything seemed possible in a digital future, and the beginning of a disillusioned and draconian post-Internet era. #futurefunk #vaporwave #fediplay

What happened to @mangeurdenuage? It’s been four days since he last posted something.
I may, or may not, be the only person alive (and I mean really alive) who has read Kibo’s USENET signature in its entirety, and I don’t regret missing any of the 42 minutes I wasted doing it.
¿No os resulta curioso que los periodistas deportivos o los del corazón hagan preguntas más comprometidas que los encargados de política o economía?
