Comment I think it's about being uplifted by "dark" music (Score 1) 170

Steven Wilson mentions, in association with the "In absentia" record, that he is attracted to, and uplifted by dark, sad music, and I feel the same way... Music seems to be mind and mood altering, and very subtle in its shades of action. I can feel one kind of joy listening to an upbeat song, and be also moved by the stark melancholy of another which is another facet of joy, and neither negates the validity of the other. The idea that violent thoughts can be initiated by engaging in music listening, movie watching, video game playing, etc.... is a complex and interesting subject, and people, and especially politicians should not rush to judgement

Comment does anyone know list of platforms. G85ware only? (Score 1) 64

I guess we'll find out soon enough. People afraid of it could always run it in a sandboxed area. I wouldn't worry too much about being on a list, you are probably already on it. If the download consists of a stub that downloads a "downloader" like so much crapware today, maybe start to worry :-)

Comment discrepancy in number of executions (Score 1) 141

It sounds like not only does "P"RC execute more people than all others combined, but even the figure used for that most alarming conclusion appears to be grossly underestimated. Wikipedia says executions are "down" to "only" 12000 a year, but 60k-100k (hospital transplant data) - 10k (donors) transplants = 50k-90k "discrepancy" DISGUSTING PRC!! Assholes! I feel sorry rfor ank and file Chinese people who have to live with such a brutal, oppressive, realpolotiking, lying, and just SHITTY government.

Also, your knowledge is out of date. McCarthy has been gone for a while --> didn't you know that it's right wing republicans who love communism now? After all, we all know whom the Russians wanted to win, Yes? Republicans like Steve Mnuchin and half the Republican senate who cosset Russian oligarchs. The NRA, the "president of the USA", and all his indicted buddies etc... come on now, Komrade.

My experience with dropbox is that it is an absolute piece of steaming shit. They are obviously trying to LEVERAGE this and MONETIZE that, and so many things, to the point of it being unusable. Good riddance to bad garbage I say. may the door hit them smartly on the ass as they depart.

nice try mr anonymous... there is corruption in the manner of the "gift" itself...

Mostly true, the g8z foundation, in particular, is extremely suspect, as they are invested in the g8z Canadian shale-oil railroad, Monsanto, and other things that are leaving the world a much worse place than they found it... They are also the same things his non-foundation money is in. One of the first things virtually all robber-barons do, is set up their own charity... I guess all the pre-existing ones are somehow unworthy, when you're this rich.. yeah suure ok... gf8z is dodgy as hell, don't know why he should be revered by some, and thought to be a genius, and have answers about any random subject. He's just an opportunistic guy, who parlayed his mom being on IBM board, and stiff-armed any obstacles...
