  • I’m not going to say they’re not real or not sentient. But I will absolutely say that they are selfish. They lack the empathy required to understand how things will affect others. They lack the willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. They lack the humility required to understand that they could be wrong, and the critical reasoning required to change their views in the face of new evidence.

    Almost every conservative I’ve ever met is either extremely rich or lives in microcosm. Hell, I’ve got extended family that have never travelled outside of their hometown and anything foreign or different to them is either ridiculed or shunned.

    They want a social hierarchy, and they want their place in it preserved. God forbid people get equitable standing.










  • Would it be okay if I traced every bit of public data about you, including your name, address, cellphone, familial information, work history, and online social media history etc, put it into a nice little package and put it online? I mean, I’d only be doxxing you with publicly available information that was easily linked from your profile. Would it be okay if I go the next step and gather your DNA from a publicly available location? All I need is a quick strand of hair.

    I mean it’s public. Anyone can find this information with a little effort…or do you feel have some sort of right to privacy? I understand not wanting any of this information broadcast to the public…but it is public information.

    It’s cutting edge, on the verge, or at the forefront of something.

    X is used a lot in Prototyping and Experimental designations or higher end products (see Aerospace and chipset architecture). In a more “Layman’s” Sense I would also assume that people associate it with being “Extreme/X-treme”
