@jeffreytucker That's anti-liberty. An employer setting standards for who they associate with does not make them liable for the free choices people made to comport with them. You just quit the association like they have the same right to do.

@LibertarianG0th The fundamental principle that makes one a libertarian is non-aggression. The degree you affirm non-aggression is the degree to which you're a libertarian. Fully consistent libertarians, fully affirm non-aggression. Those are also known as anarcho-capitalists.

Hey... That's my face on there!
Communism is the philosophy of death.
Every once in a while the right will get a taste of the police-state "heroes" they cheer for and work to empower. I wish they'd just learn from it once in an ever. The enforcers do not protect you, they control the tax livestock and do enough to keep up appearances.

Most people exist in a universe of floating abstractions. Was it self-defense or aggression? Violence or rude speech? Disrespect or a threat? The fog is comfortable because it can be defended with feelings instead of rationality, seemings instead of principles.

We went from this to Trump using export controls to prevent us from accessing words that were too intelligent
@fileverse BAM
Hermes online with Fileverse. Custom skill and MCP working.
@NousResearch
How do we convince @fileverse to give us OpenAI compatibility for AI integration?
You think cops get upset and uncomfortable when you tell them to wear a body cam... Try doctors in the OR when they're working on you. Instant freak out. They do NOT want you seeing what goes on when you are unconscious.

I had a great time interviewing the always thoughtful, always fun Patrick Smith @NotGovernor. See below for the video link.
FYI, we’ll both be speaking at Larken Rose’s upcoming event ‘“Approaching Humanity”. Links are in the show notes. @larken_rose

Hey. This is specific hard drive advice. If you have a Samsung 2TB 980 pro or 990 pro SSD, download Samsung's Magician software and check your firmware version on the drive. If you are not on version 5B2QGXA7 then update immediately. They have bad firmware on some that is cutting life span's in half or worse. If you are affected I would contact them for a replacement or refund.

14-year-old "still in alpha bro" but it'd be about ready to get a driver's license if it was a human game, Star Citizen, released a bug fix patch today to rescue a week-old patch that made the game mostly unplayable. The bug fix patch has left the game fully unplayable.

@handlewest @thatboybenagain @WIRED Of course, it doesn't govern by consent, that's just the fairy tail everyone is trained into from birth, revealed as a lie every time they do this stuff. It's just a gang of thieves writ large.

@woooggs @WIRED It's perfectly true. It takes 10+ years of government schooling to make you never question it. If governments derive their just powers from the people, then governments can have no powers that no person has to delegate to it.

The children did not consent and cannot leave. That is precisely nothing like respect for property—it is compliance on pain of aggression. And that's not even a good pragmatic argument as none of that nonsense is needed to educate on those goals.

@NotGovernor @MattWalshBlog Or, we could raise children that respect the property owner’s rules regarding meals, carefully designed to (1) be a healthy meal, (2) teach them how to eat presentably in social situations, and (3) promote familial bonding.
