The law probably exists so that people are left accountable for any effects that result from their activities. People should have the liberty to not to have utilities, but they shouldn't be creating their own that may be unsafe.

Je suis en homm et je l'aime baguette. Omelet du fromage. Also, je suis Charlie Hebdo.

Unfortunately this is the extent of my French language skills.

It would be interesting if there were more discussion on /t/mystery.

Part of the punishment that comes with being a felon is reduced rights. If this angers you, perhaps you should read The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander. While it focuses on the racial disparity of prison systems, it also focuses greatly on how being a felon severely reduces your standard of living. The theme is that minorities who are more likely to receive prison sentences are reduced to second class citizens legally due to their felon status.

I looked up the institution that the piece focuses on and found this on the ct.gov website:

"In 2008 the institution was named the Facility of the Year by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care for its excellence in health service delivery. The accompanying accreditation has been renewed as of June of 2011."

Interesting.

I could also say that I found a biography on Disraeli to be quite inspiring. Its basically the story of a British Jew rising up to become the British Prime Minister in the Victorian era. It gives me the feeling that anyone has the power to do anything as long as they are ambitious.

You don't read books on your iPad? That's the only reason why I own mine.

Voat has been attracting the wrong type of users in my opinion. Some of the first exoduses were from /r/conspiracy and whatever subreddits promote anti-SJW. Now that /r/fatpeoplehate has gone there, too, the community is too much like the mainstream Reddit.

Perhaps I should make a read of that. I have a more pessimistic view of future technology, specifically that machines will further replace areas of human employment. I could only seeing it as further dividing the haves and the have-nots.

This is only minor, but Haruki Murakami has had me rethink classical music. Before then I had never really enjoyed classical music; I'd always thought it was what old people or weird homeschooled children were into. It was interesting the first few times that Murakami mentioned classical musicians and after awhile I decided to actually listen to the mentioned pieces while listening to his books. I haven't thrown out my old collection of rock and rap and replaced it with classical music, but I have found that I enjoy solo violin and solo guitar pieces and have incorporated a few into my music library.

I'd like to see more users from /r/books flock here, but I'm out of invite codes and too cautious to try promoting there. The book community on Reddit is one of the best that I've seen and is probably one of the few subreddits with any quality.

Perhaps if anyone is brave enough, they could try bringing them in. It would be quality and quantity.

I've thought about absorbing all knowledge, but it seems a bit too implausible. I feel like if I allowed myself that, my mind would function more like an encyclopedia than memory. I suppose you could recall the information when prompted (ex. a test), but your daily life would overall be the same. Instead of stumbling onto a previous memory, I'd feel like you'd have to search up a keyword in your brain to think of something and rather than abstractly thinking of an idea, you'd be basically reciting the words.

I, too, would run down libraries, but only in the sections that I'm interested in. I have no desire to clutter my brain about subjects I do not care for.
