Castro was a lawyer by training, and Guevara was a doctor from Argentina (just look that up on Wikipedia). Guess who was cool-headed, and who was a firebrand?
Makes me grateful for geckos, they keep those in check. That's a reason to be nice to geckos.
extreme dogmatism that triggers 'Holy War' responses. Healthy discussion, and airing of opinions and concerns is OK. It's OK to be pretty motivated to do something to make your own situation better. But going on the warpath, imposing your will and overriding everybody in sight because somebody disagrees with you - that's what I find creepy and scary. I prefer to ignore people like that, if I can.Jordan Peterson said something really thought-provoking in one of his lectures about this. "Everyone thinks they would be the ones hiding Anne Frank from the Nazis". It's so true. We all just assume "Yeah I'm a great person. I'm like those people." And we forget that just like the rest of the "sheeple", we'd rather not get eaten alive by dogs, starved and worked to death, subjected to cruel medical experiments, forced to look at the dismembered bodies of our loved ones... I could probably list a dozen other worse things that dictators have been known to do to their enemies, but it would only get censored.

... these take me to there:You realize that this basically amounts to being a sommelier? wine is made from harvested grapes, which means the grapes are dead? What about tea? if tea leaves are dried, the tea plant is dead, it no longer grows, it's not a living plant? And tea leaves smell pretty nice when dried?I see the video today
Stallman enjoys Rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants)
Connect the dots to the wider world out there, people!So rhinophytonecrophile it is just another word for smoker or pothead? Cool.You realize that this basically amounts to being a sommelier? wine is made from harvested grapes, which means the grapes are dead? What about tea? if tea leaves are dried, the tea plant is dead, it no longer grows, it's not a living plant? And tea leaves smell pretty nice when dried?
Smell plays a vital role in the food industry. Since times immemorial, people have been eating dead plants, processing them, and enjoying the smell.
'Nasal sex' is nothing more than sniffing, while 'dead plants' can be dried tea leaves, tobacco, hops...
This doesn't scare me but it is oh so true. The statistics say "Windows is popular" but that is only because Microsoft flooded the market in the early 90's and people use Windows because they think there are no alternatives. They accept it warts and all and just think badly performing software with an incredibly inconsistent UI is the norm.
Yeah, just like we accept FreeBSD's faults like crappy wifi and dependency hell.
