  • There is a conversation to be had here about how newer broadcast mediums like YouTube are not regulated the same way as older mediums like TV/Radio… And it is that old regulation and those differences that allowed Colbert to sidestep this censorship.

    Both the censorship and the tech aspects of this story are worthy of discussion, and thus this ‘event’ most certainly does belong here.

    But most people are more concerned about the censorship and the content of the video, and that will naturally influence the direction of most discussions about it.

    Plus, people don’t always even look at the forum a post was shared too before commenting. Naturally they just see a thing that interests them and they start talking about it.

    I only know the forum cause I got far enough down the comments to see yours.








  • The motivations for a person’s good actions are generally less important than that they act good, less you are looking for a way to manipulate them into acting poorly. Only then do the reasons behind their actions become more important than their actions themselves.

    God aside, he agrees with the words some ancient people spoke regarding how to be good people and thrive as a society, and no science has ever proven those words wrong… Science agrees, hand over fist.

    Research the sins and virtues and extrapolate their outcomes, or look to past examples. Then, when acting as an individual, choose the sin or virtue that best serves the whole community, including yourself.



  • Nothing noteworthy about 18, except voting and easier job hunts (technically, but I had to change cities to find work still, so YMMV). 21 was boring too.

    But a week from now you’ll be 40.

    Don’t be one of those who at 40 realizes they should have been investing 20% of their income and utilizing their employers 401k match, or taking better care of their health.

    The time goes by real fast. Faster than as a teen.

    Or at least it tends to seem that way.

    Enjoy your 18th today.

    Plan for you 60th tomorrow.

    Don’t wait.
