[FRIAM] request for collective memory: degrees of democracy

Dear All, I am very sorry to spam the list because I am a disorganized person and can't ever remember where I saw something. Sometime in the past, an email was circulated that had a research paper on -- if I recall aright -- a way to talk about the degree of democracy a society has, by compari

Re: [FRIAM] Now For Something Different

I used Pale Moon for a number of months until about a year ago. Low overhead but I found that for unknown reasons it didn't play well with a number of extensions I liked, so I returned to FFox. I especially like its bookmark program. (Chrome's is terrible.) TJ =

Re: [FRIAM] ​Academia.edu

I think "both"? But Academia seems to be "trending" .. i.e. providing better services, being (unlike Google) Slow and Steady wins the race. And offering your own website? Not sure RG does that. -- Owen On Fri, May 12, 2017 at 12:16 PM, Barry MacKichan < barry.mackic...@mackichan.com> wrote: >

You're absolutely right, Gillian. But because i'm contrarian, I'll argue with you anyway. 8^) Trump's words and actions are interesting because there are a lot of us who live with narcissists. And although the subject has gotten a lot of attention in pop-sci lately, few of us understand what

Plane and simple dad, he's what gamers call a troll. They (generally) don't last long in any decent sensable community. They say stuff to get attention. The maxim is: Never feed the trolls. They thrive on what ever attention and all manner of aholery and chaos they try to make. Feeding them plays

Re: [FRIAM] Fwd: Q&A: Transcript: Interview with Donald Trump | The Economist

If by interesting we mean: yep, he's still a neurotic prick. And why was he even a candidate? Then yes that's interesting. It's like wondering why things are "interesting" if Loki or some other jack ass was running the world. On Thu, May 11, 2017 at 9:02 PM, Owen Densmore wrote: > Kinda interes
