    Heck, even moderate gets used that way nowadays.
    What have I always believed? That, on the whole, and by and large, if a person lived properly, not according to what any priests said, but according to what seemed decent and honest inside, then it would, at the end, more or less, turn out ok.

    We struggled against apartheid in South Africa, supported by people the world over, because black people were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about; our very skins. It is the same with sexual orientation. It is a given.

    And today I saw a doctor who was unable to access medical sites because of the hospital's web-censor program.

    Back in the early 00s, the German unemployment office could not research jobs like "canal workers" because the word "anal" was blocked.

    Yeah... and you know how Germans write compound nouns all in one word, often with an "s" added in the middle. So a "trade expert" is a "Handelsexperte" which was blocked (along with dozens of other experts) because it contained s-e-x.

    The old DC boards wouldn't let you discuss Nightwing by calling him by his real name.

    Unless you're paying, you are not the customer. You are the user, which falls further down the list of priorities.

    Just had a nice 10 k run with my buddy Erkan. Gonna try very hard not to be one of those friends who disappears for months the moment he enters into a new relationship.
