i guess all of us jumped to thoughts of music more or less simultaneously. the jump i made was to the "hostias" of mozart's requiem, cuz when i was younger and i was first exposed to it, that was when i started having feelings that i would later learn were called "submissive". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8XBU-tirqw

I tried real hard to think of a song that created a similar experience for me is Muse’s Time is Running Out. I’m not sure it’s got the same effect today, but there’s definitely a time that it was super strong and overlapping with a period of dense self-discovery along those lines.

i wrote my own serializer/deserializer and REST client library in python because if you try to use the "standard" ethereum library for python, it takes several seconds to import the module, and i'm not exaggerating.
Fun fact: I put a like $20 on a contract with a single public method that pairs out the entire value to the caller, and it sat there like a whole day before anyone got it.

So apparently we're ready to shoot down ayes but we can't target four planes that have been hijacked and targeted at government buildings given an hour of advance notice.

One of many reasons I cannot trust Mueller in the slightest, given his involvement with hiding the fact that the FBI *sponsored* two of the fucking terrorists that pulled off 9/11.
11:50
I mean I get it. Mistakes happen. They got duped. Own it.

Don't fuckin' cover it up.

That's how shit like "the government's responsible for 9/11" happens.

I am simply skeptical of UFO claims, paranormal claims, and massive government cover-up claims. The government isn't COMPETENT enough to cover anything up for years and years, let alone if dozens or hundreds of people are involved.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was, to be honest, but I don't see why it'd be controversial. If the towers didn't implode, they could have taken out other structures. That said, I don't think it did. They used cheap as fuck chinese steel with improper carbon counts in it. Too much iron and a high-heat ignition source will create "thermite"

But it's a big step from protecting politically connected Saudis living in America to "The FBI was involved in making 9/11 happen"
When Trump had his conference with DPRK and they blew up that "nuclear facility," it was all over the news, but last month when DPRK said they were going to immediately begin refining materials for nuclear weapons in response to sanctions it was only in European news.
I'm saying that the FBI was incompetent and the coverup to mask that incompetence is interpretted as complacency or conspiracy to actually be involved. They weren't. They were just stupid.
12:05
And it'd be better if they just owned that they were duped by saudi arabia instead of hiding it until it's dug up by lawsuits.

It's really funny when people try to sue the people responsible for running the courts they're suing them in.
Actually you said the fuckheads knew. Which may be true. Not sure even that means anything more than incompetence or inability to figure out enough of the puzzle to stop it vs: complicity. That's still a big jump
Exactly. Overall the "government" as a whole knew. They had plans to deal with hijackings and attacks. But that didn't get to the right people to execute during the actual attack.
W
12:09
Woofle A Thylacine
It's pretty standard to infiltrate and compromise people you know are involved, so that isn't per se evidence of collusion
But the fact that they're covering up their incompetence is what gets interpretted by your conspiracy tards for collusion.
12:09
And that's how shit like "the government did 9/11" gets born.
W
12:09

Well if you had claimed 9/11 happened because of a clusterfuck of failures of our security apparatus, I wouldn't have bothered to argue in the first place.

Talking to programmers at palantir, it seems like there’s folks who hold themselves/their systems accountable for any intelligence failure resulting in loss of life. Seems like a difficult industry.
If you see something is coming and you know it's going to happen, and you tell your superiors, and they do nothing, you feel like you didn't do enough

There are about a million angles and viewpoints a reasonable person could hold re:9/11 and the failures associated with it, but the idea they did nothing is pretty far from accurate. They did nothing that was successful is thwarting the attacks. That's damn serious, but you know "a broken watch is right twice a day". Maybe the FBI is right this time. We shall see :)
