SF is better than I remember 6 years ago.

Purely anecdotal

>Like Taiwan

I see what you did there.

I don't think cessation was the implication

Secession.

Thanks, long day.

I think thats the observation being made. Most people respond to the organizational problem with the only tools they have, which manifests as that.

Usually management knows and doesnt care about the problem

Eh, I feel like twitch.tv is different enough.

I agree with your observation, tho. I feel like twitch is more about e-celeb fan access.

I dont think Destiny 'feed nathan' Dusty fans are doing a lot of peer to peer socialization. (Then again, maybe Im wrong).

That's a good point. It would be like calling a music concert a social club. Some socializing occurs, but you're all there to watch someone entertain you.

Yes

One year I'll go this route.

Living in a city I can't really raise anything beyond herbs, however hunting once a year reduces my reliance on factory farming so much.

When I lived on a standard city lot in Minneapolis, I was growing corn (lost most of it to squirrels), tomatoes, carrots, horseradish (can't kill that stuff), squash and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember. And a "natural prairie" section of mostly native grasses and wildflowers.

Just depends on how much land you have and how much of your lawn you want to dig up :-)

The rules of this forum dictate that participants can't make claims of astroturfing, so I won't make that claim.

On a related note, I find it interesting that your comment is being downvoted while contributing to the dialogue productively.

Inference is left as an exercise to the reader.

Wouldn't that be an example of brigading, rather than astroturfing?

Or is brigading considered a kind of astroturfing?

Depends, brigading can be organic or artifical. Artificial brigading from a campaign of controlled accts would be proper astroturfing.

It's derivation all the way down.

That's what renewed my passion for reading; revisiting texts with contexts in mind, history, intent, etc.

I feel the education system really fails people with these little bits

Talk about 'in perpetuity, for all time, throughout the universe' levels of legal due diligence!
