I think the questions are from bots, testing topics to farm controversy or outrage points. The greater the number of replies, the more likely the topic will be used in a future marketing or agit-prop campaign.

So you get these really stupid, controversial, psychopathic takes that no one should be taking seriously. The point of the exercise is the emotional reaction, the outrage, not getting a serious answer.

This ancient aliens nuttery has been around since the 1950s, with books by Erich Von Daniken and Immanuel Velikovsky. Much of their "proof" can be easily refuted by anyone with a basic understanding of science.

Carl Sagan did an amazing point-by-point counter of Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision" in his book "Brocas Brain"

There must be a hundred third-party freeware apps that let you encrypt files. Heck, even zip archivers have a password protect option. If you're a whistleblower, you're going to be collecting data over long periods of time, not sending instant messages. You can use OnionShare (droid-ify) to create temporary TOR links if you really need to share a file quickly and untraceably.

The purpose of discipline is to live MORE fully. Not less. There's nothing noble about suffering.

Old games stood on their own merits: artwork, sound design, game mechanics. I have no idea what "retro authenticity" is supposed to be, but it doesn't sound like it involves inspiration or imagination.

What is "lol?" Is it a drug? IS IT A DRUG?

"Not realizing. "

No. They absolutely realized it. Farking the country up is the entire point

This. You don't "negotiate" with the Patent Office. The courts decide whether patent infringement has occurred. You "negotiate" with THEM.

I recommend Keepass. It's freeware, is available on all platforms and supports biometrics (fingerprints, etc) on Android devices. It also encrypts the password file on your device, so you can keep a copy of that file on a cloud service without worrying if that service really respects your privacy or not.
