You're just missing the silent words in there.

No. Especially if you have work experience, doing a MA or an MSc will be taken for the career pivoting skills development you sell it as.

Don't do a PhD, though, unless you're specifically trying to get into a job that looks for them. That is, unless you specifically want to do the PhD for the sake of doing it. A lot of employers see it the same way a retail employer sees a BSc - a sign that you're a flight risk.

Are you trying to erase Odo?

The system required personally ambitious people to the right thing for everyone instead of the thing that would get them further ahead as an individual. In the face of the wealth and power of the oil industry, corruption was almost inevitable, sadly.

Worth nothing that Augustus used the title "princeps", which was also an existing title in the Republic. And his power came from holding existing offices. He was careful to make himself the ruler of Rome using the existing governing framework.

He just negotiated that he would hold these positions for life.

This is the same thing Julius Caesar did, except the existing title he held - dictator - carried too much political baggage.

It’s litigation around what a machine can freely use in its learning model.

No, its not that, either. It's litigation around what resources a person can exploit to develop a product without paying for that right.

The machine is doing nothing wrong. It's not feeding itself.

You're asking two questions here. One is about some kind of purity test, which... You gotta let that one go. The crowd isn't here to pass judgement on you, and asking it to do so is a kind of psychological self harm.

The other is about whether using a particular Reddit front end supports Reddit. The answer to that is an unqualified "yes".

The two together point to you wanting to use Reddit, but not wanting to be judged poorly for doing so, and that's an anxiety state you don't deserve to live in. You either believe strongly enough about not supporting Reddit for your own reasons to not use it, or you don't. And that's ok, because they're your beliefs. You're not some soldier in some holy war.

I think it was before that, but after publishing lists of U of T faculty he wanted his incel army to harass and threaten.

I thought he did this 5 years ago, and then never heard anything of it again. Was that a fever dream, or did he fail to find his blackjack and hookers?

You wouldn't be so smug, with all your fancy shmancy hydrogen atoms, if we had ever found Nemesis!
