By denotation, sure.

By connotation, I was talking about the battle I thought I'd been invited to -- that of reasoned debate, where I have to actually use my brain a bit.

Those cycles are lost on him. But sure, I'll move my fingers some.

More ad hominem bullshit from the pro-censor bootlicker. (I waited this long. May as well join you in hell.)

Imagine my surprise where you continue your ad hominem tactics, and pretend like remembering instagram motivators is a measure of intelligence.

It's a matter of choosing my battles. I don't make it a point to explain myself to people who willfully misunderstand me. I think there's some instagrammed stock photobullshit that probably has those words in front of it in cursive on a tumblr somewhere...

It's hard to take seriously anyone who uses both ad hominem and strawman in the same comment.

You are unfairly forcing others to operate by the same faith in information sources that you have.

Your quick on-line search sucks balls. I've been buying blu-rays for around $1/ea for 1.5 years. Amazon. You couldn't find amazon?

Because it hasn't stopped it from happening in the past! DUH.

Me? i was the one responding to the guy who said they weren't real barriers. So we're agreeing. So I don't understand why your comment sounds like disagreeing.

Except it is, and you don't dictate how reality works. All I have to do is have made a purchasing decision by that criteria at any point in my own life (which you can't disprove) in order to have a counter example that disproves your idiotic statement.

It's a mental barrier. People have price points, and they are often round numbers like $1/M, $1/G (depending on when you grew up), etc.

Especially because, in actuality, Slashdot says my karma is excellent. The sig is a lie.

post?

If you think Facebook keeps you in a bubble where you aren't exposed to ideas you don't like, you must have never been on Facebook. Try a day on my feed...

And they shut down my shell account 15 years later citing that we can easily host our web content elsewhere. Nevermind that I'd built a web presence on non-rotting link URLs for 15 years. so yea... I paid the ACM for decades, and if i could go back in time, I would un-join, and not pay them a damn penny. Special thanks to Virginia Tech sysadmin John Edstrom for ruining it for us.
