  • Your identity cannot be stolen. The idea is science fiction. What thieves make off with are your credentials. Many of which you have no choice and sometimes no knowledge of. If you think about it, these credentials aren’t necessarily for your benefit, and sometimes directly to your harm.

    But it’s your job to safeguard and secure these credentials with your time, effort, and hardware you own and maintain. Carry on consumer.



  • The problem isn’t that we pet birds, it’s that we eat them. Or more specifically we gather them in huge, unsanitary populations in close contact with humans as they are raised and slaughtered.

    This reminds me of how people think AIDS spread from other primates through bestiality, when bushmeat was the correct answer. I guess it’s easier to imagine bestiality than the consequences of carnism.

    *not vegan, Just finding it harder and harder to dismiss them.


  • The ultra-orthodox have wanted this for a long time and it’s one of the reasons Israel’s government was trying to curtail the power of the judiciary. You may remember there were protests in Israel over last summer over this.

    This isn’t about Pacifism, but more about autonomy and seclusion. I don’t think they mind exposing their youth to bombs and bullets as much as exposure to cosmopolitan ideals they get from mixing with Israel’s more secular youth. It’s similar to the impetus for religious parents to do home-schooling in the US.

    You know, it’s that same right wing government’s hasbara for the 70 years to confuse the difference between an Israeli, a Jew, and a Zionist so they could use antisemitism as a cudgel and the Shoah as a shield.

    FINE: If I’m not allowed to criticize Israel without fixing antisemitism first, then Israel can’t have any more weapons or cover in the UN until they solve race relations in the US.
