Yeah i was half awake, a bit harsh ig.

Maybe a better formed argument is that getting into a marriage legally is way too easy compared to the legal process of leaving one. Even if you have all your things in order and everything is completely amicable the dissolution can be a a very drawn out process, especially if you can't be present in the state you were married in.

The part about being in a hospital, only applies if the partner is not conscious, otherwise they can consent. Some other counties have another method for this where if you've simply lived together long enough those sorts of protections exist. So yeah you have a fair argument in the US. Is it a valid reason for legally formalizing your marriage? That's up to you and your partner to decide.

I think my major annoyance is that people put emotional value into the legal matter of marriage as though law and the state had some interpersonal value.

How did my boss come to embody every other department/group that you work with!? Literally one guy, fighting with himself about the ideas he wants and failing to communicate it while complaining that the solution should be simple and easy while making meetings drag on...

I get it now. I was kind if skipping some context. I was saying under legal means sharing books is fine and good(not paying for it). e.g. going to a library. But you can certainly copy books and distribute them. I posit that it's nearly always ethical to do so. Whether or not it's legal is a different question and depends on the material in question.

The salvadoran government was significantly supported by the US during their civil war. The war lead to mass migration of Salvadorans to the US. MS-13 was originally an LA street gang that the US deported to El Salvador, an act which launched it into an international cartel. They didn't "make their culture this way", the US sluffed it's own problem upon them.

Yes?

Did i say something anti-library or am i reading into this wrong?

Beyond missing the subtext...

I don't actually read all that much. I'm excruciatingly slow and i don't currently commute. Most of my reading was on public transit or camping. But the authors i like just happen to either be ok with sharing copies of their work or it's available for free anyways. That said I've bought maybe twenty books in the last decade...

Textbooks from exploitative publishers especially i refuse to pay for. E.g. Wiley, pearson, McGraw-Hill, etc... As well technical publications and journals.

The great Gatsby was provided by school when i read it. All the books were in my k-12. Most the students couldn't afford them.

The only books I've paid for are the ones where the author explicitly allows copy and free distribution.

Well, those and the ones that get bundled with online access way back in uni.

Silently installed device scanning software is spyware whether it sends data or not.

The only reason it wouldn't report is to avoid legal liability. Protections like this are thin and hinge upon the legal system determining whether the applet's knowledge is an extension of Google's.

The other benefit is there's no fun and games on the windows boot so i can't get distracted from work. If it was just a quick shortcut away I'd get nothing done.

Separate hard drives fixes this one.
