We need people that will safeguard certain lines that may not be crossed.

Exactly.

"We finally won."

What did it cost?

"Our humanity"

If people are so willing to cross those lines, what are we even doing or trying to uphold?

I'm happy he's not spewing hate anymore. However, I abhor (and denounce) how that came to pass and remain genuinely disgusted at the sick, bloodthirsty mob social media turns into when shit like this happens (or attempted happens).

I am very much not an "ends justify the means" kind of person and firmly believe that kind of logic is extremely dangerous.

How does this make me feel? Well, disgusted. Disgusted that there's more gun violence in the world, disgusted that people are cheering it on, and disgusted with pretty much everyone's knee-jerk takes on the matter. I can forgive celebrating his passing as dark humor / gallows humor. I can even understand laughing at the schadenfreude due to the guy's stance on exactly this kind of thing. But for people to be praising the suspect or calling for more is firmly crossing the line into psychopath territory.

Again, the ends do not justify the means.

I can feel in my bones that the other shoe is about to drop, and all these people salivating over the bloodshed are not going to be happy when it does. Violence only begets more violence, and people need to understand that and not be cheering it on.

Might be a bit premature. I'm gonna hold off until someone whose brain isn't a pile of mush and who isn't a pathological liar confirms it.

But then.....you sound like....William.....Shatner.....and I'm not...sure....if that is any....better.

I didn't notice it at the time, but AIM away messages were basically like proto-Twitter long before actual Twitter became a thing. Some people would always be "away" so their inspirational crap would show since AIM still let you chat like normal while "away".

vaguebooking that would involve lame-ass "motivation quotes" or worse song lyrics that were obviously about some dramatic thing happening in their life

You've just described like 90% of the AIM away messages in high school lol.

Dell Dimension 2400 or a descendant of that?

That was THE computer to have in college when I went.

By Grabthar's Hammer, what a bargain.

Maybe this is an old millennial problem, but I've had the same cell phone number for over 20 years. The number would actively link me to whatever. But that doesn't really bother me too much.

What does bother me is that I get enough spam calls as it is. If you don't carefully read the ToS/EULA/privacy policy when giving them your number for "verification", you may be giving them permission for marketing calls or to have your number shared with their affiliates.

Paracord. You can weave it into just about anything. Can probably also weave a water filter.

I don't live near the border, but one difference I notice when crossing over is the roads are always better. Doesn't matter which state I cross over into; roads a better (ours are shit).
