| schestowitz | Been using it through RC 1 & RC 2. Solid as a rock and easier to handle than most Linux distributions. Package installs and updates are intuitive. An excellent introduction to the realm of BSD. | Jan 16 09:06 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz | The sensation of stability is such that you gain the impression that it is the rock your house is built on. | Jan 16 09:06 |
| schestowitz | Most impressed. Updating takes a looooooong time compared to something like Debian, but the PBI process is still young and I'm sure there will be rapid advances now that a reliable base is present. | Jan 16 09:06 |

| schestowitz | New injury :-( Today I went swimming, running, and started working on competition-related activities. I went running despite the ankle still being sore and now both my ankles -- not just one -- are sore. I need to recover from this by the weekend and then run 6KM competitively. :-) | Jan 16 15:06 |

| schestowitz | > The first name in wealth for most people is Bill Gates. So imagine how surprised we were to learn that Bill Gates isn't even close to the wealthiest man in the world -- because he's given almost half of his money to charity. Through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Gates is projected to save the lives of 7.6 million children under 5 by 2019 through his support of international vaccinations and healthcare alone. Check | Jan 16 17:54 |
| schestowitz | out some more statistics and see why we think Bill Gates is better than Batman. | Jan 16 17:54 |

| schestowitz | This graphic is a piece of propaganda and a lie. Gates has gotten richer through his promotion of patents disguised shrewdly as "giving". People who play along with the bribed-for media campaign he runs (Gates spends $300ml per year on this reputation laundering - media expenses alone!) should be ashamed of themselves because they do more harm than good. | Jan 16 17:54 |

| schestowitz | qu1j0t3: no idea why I got that email | Jan 16 18:01 |
| schestowitz | I can guess that your comment in Quora had the author sent to a reality check | Jan 16 18:01 |
| schestowitz | so he decided to confront me by email | Jan 16 18:01 |
| schestowitz | I wonder if Billie paid for that piece of propaganda. He pays for so much of it (lots of blogs he bribes) | Jan 16 18:01 |

| schestowitz | at least they might see the other side | Jan 16 18:02 |
| qu1j0t3 | unlikely. | Jan 16 18:02 |
| schestowitz | might help them rethink or research properly next time | Jan 16 18:02 |

| schestowitz | they're afraid | Jan 16 19:18 |
| schestowitz | they need to provide proof | Jan 16 19:19 |
| schestowitz | the media does not provide it | Jan 16 19:19 |
| schestowitz | the solution is, provide research that does show what's happening, make it available and easy to find | Jan 16 19:19 |

| schestowitz | "In my previous E-mails to you I laid bare my opinions (as densely as I could) when it comes to some different nations and you accepted my views for what they are, irrespective of whether you agree with those or not (and although it would be preferable if we agreed on everything, what's most important is that we accept and respect one another's opinions)." | Jan 16 23:31 |

| schestowitz | "The objectification of women is a peer-accepted norm where the male -- if capable of subjecting women to his will (to an extent men too, as in bossing at work) -- then he will be seen as the alpha male, not for his ability to do sociable and humanist things but for commanding others, possibly in malicious ways (like leading an army, sleeping with many girls, etc.). This norm gets extended to social status one can get by | Jan 16 23:38 |
| schestowitz | mistreating women or disregarding their feelings (as though they are mere objects), which is often essential for that status. It is common knowledge that high figures in armies need to have a low value for human life, be ruthless, merciless, and vicious. Only this way can they fathom the energy to make "progress" (oppress others). In a sense, the same goes for people who objectify women; they need to be able to face the sight | Jan 16 23:38 |
| schestowitz | of crying girls, for example, and just proceed with their life unhurt and without guilt. This makes up a very rogue element of society which is sociopathic and unhealthy to coupling, including family-building." | Jan 16 23:38 |
