  • Oh I’m not sorry for their consequences. That doesn’t make removing all privacy a good idea.

    Though think of privacy as offering a feeling of safety. We wouldn’t know they literally said they love Hitler if they wouldn’t have felt safe enough to voice it. They didn’t think it WOULD be leaked. They just knew their opinion was gross to the mainstream.

    I’m SURE you have said many things the mainstream would call gross. Maybe not necessarily hateful and vile ontop of that, but gross and ostracizing worthy to some none the less. Would you be OK with people ostracizing you for less than what they’ve said?

    Would you have said/done those things if you knew it could be looked up by your name?


  • It’s by definition not private if others can just look it up. I’d say no. Nobody deserves to be judged by their employer or others for EVERYTHING they do or say. Everybody has a bad day sometimes. Everyone gets really annoyed and says mean stuff.

    Furthermore, privacy has profound mental health implications. People that cannot get privacy develop mental disorders like paranoia, anxiety, self-doubt, and all sorts of other problems.

    On top of that, if they knew their messages could’ve been leaked… do you think they would’ve said it in the first place? They WOULD be thinking it, but you wouldn’t know.

    Invading everyone’s privacy because you don’t want to have to exercise your brain is a terrible thing to ask. To those of us that do know how to observe and think, it’s pretty damn obvious when someone is a pile of crap like these people. Removing ALL privacy just so dummies can agree is… one of the worst possible reasons to remove privacy.


  • There is a diffuse gamma glow around the center. There are only a couple of paragraphs quoting the most silly versions of explanations: Dark Matter interaction and spinning neutron stars.

    The article offers no answers.

    IMO, it’s FAR more likely we just don’t entirely know how dense the region is and what atoms/particles are in it, and it could be as silly as interstellar particles getting excited from high energy particles that escape the SMBH accretion disc. Or some similarly ‘common’ thing.
