║ "use our service in these ways" is not a fair requirement when you aren't │
║ getting anything in return. The service has traditionally qualified, but these │
║ days it's more competitive to promise to be good. Basically, "if we don't │
║ achieve these metrics (very minutely detailed explanations of the maximum harm │
║ they could cause to the environment) then you can sue us on our dime. We'll │
║ pay for your lawyer. If you accept, then you can use our service, BUT ONLY if │
║ you don't pirate it or whatever. And we'll promise to be good, and if you │
║ don't think that's good enough... Okay let us know and we'll consider │
║ including it." │
║ │
║ A reasonable base target for "maximum harm to the environment" is net zero. │
║ Even better is total zero. But that's often impossible, and besides nature can │
║ heal a little scratch or two. But like... pumping toxic chemicals into │
║ waterways, polluting the air and clouds, bulldozing precious habitats... yeah │
║ that's too much. we must live in tandem. │

humans are computers that inhale air, produce electricity, and exhale carbon.
give me a biochemical or mechanical process for doing that on a reasonable
scale for cheap and you can solve global warming by replacing power outlets
with an energy generation box. Doubles as an air purifier and UPS.

I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
have any bugs in this day and age.
For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

Dear Anakin, for as long as you've known him, Obiwan learned just as much from
you as you did from him. His title as "master" was a formality - he didn't get
it because he was better than you, and "padawan" does not mean you are lesser.
There is no hierarchy. He was learning to teach at the same speed that you
learnt to learn. You built each other up, an unstoppable force for good in the
galaxy.
But then an evil wizard stole your heart and twisted your mind. Have no fear,
fear is the path to the dark side. Your mother knows this well, for it is a
common lesson among all people as they age. Fear not, hate not, and feel fury
more than rage. You can bring the universe into a bright golden age, never
forget your purpose and your [potential / duty]

camouflage in an urban environment is not camo. rather, regular clothes of
black or white.
don't wear sports glasses, you look like a dummy.
revolution is when they murder everyone but your friends. this is what
happens, ya dingus not ideal. "okay who are the bad guys here? okay let's go
shoot them to death with our bullets and guns."
violence as a first aspect, cause as a third spark. "I have a strange urge to
play video games?"

frankly tho that's highly unlikely. Let's just see what the future will bring.
