The US making an enemy out of Canada is as stupid as Denmark making an enemy out of Sweden — something we quit doing 306 years ago, back when The United States did not even exist yet.

Really didn’t think that so many American and European tech people who had grandparents heavily affected by a world-wide war started by fascists would choose to become fascists, but here we are.

I like the way you think.
I like the way you move through the world with a permanently bewildered expression, as if you're only now beginning to understand the true depth of the horrors.
Google's brilliant "lay off all the senior people with taste and experience" plan is going swimmingly.

There is a right time and a right place for everything - including card games.
Conversely, there is very much a wrong place and wrong time for card games.

@juergen_hubert Okay but I feel like the church and congregation didn't deserve to deal with that literal huge bloody mess in the building... Then again maybe they did, in the eyes of God and the Devil, for allowing the sacrilege.

No son libertarios, dejemos de llamarlos así
La palabra “libertario” no nació para defender un mercado sin límites. Durante más de un siglo nombró tradiciones de emancipación, igualdad y rechazo a toda forma de dominación. ¿Cómo terminó significando casi lo contrario?
Breve historia de la palabra
Hasta donde sabemos, el neologismo libertaire nació en 1857 de la pluma del poeta y militante anarquista francés Joseph Déjacque, exiliado en Nueva Orleans. Lo usó en una carta verdaderamente feroz contra Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (padre filosófico del anarquismo), a quien le reprochaba sus ideas cavernarias contra las mujeres: «No se considere anarquista o séalo hasta el final», le decía allí. «Lloras contra los grandes barones del capital, y promueves una orgullosa baronía del hombre sobre la mujer». Y sobre todo, lo acusaba de ser «apenas un liberal y no un libertario». Al año siguiente Déjacque fundó en Nueva York el periódico Le Libertaire: antiautoritario, anticapitalista, antiesclavista y feminista. En las antípodas perfectas de lo que hoy se vende bajo ese rótulo.
Los nombres son importantes
Cuando las palabras pierden su sentido, decía Confucio, todo el orden social se resiente, y peor aún: «las personas pierden su libertad», según el visionario filósofo chino. Por eso siempre es buen momento para empezar a aplicar el principio también acá: llamarlos “propietaristas”, como sugirió Cain hace más de sesenta años, o “libertarianos”, para marcar la diferencia con la acción y la razón libertarias.

This is a Ruckers mother-and-child virginal—a 17th-century keyboard instrument with a second, smaller instrument built into it, tuned an octave higher. The “child” could be pulled out to play duets or set on top of the “mother” to add a jangly, buzzing color to the main sound—a Renaissance-era layering trick, centuries before mixing desks. Antwerp instrument makers were doing this in the 1600s.

I think a loose translation of the motto is:
As agreement in small things grows, disagreement in great things shrinks.
Of course, it's been around 50 years since my last Latin class.
