"Or simply not try to rely on display ads. There are so many other age old Media revenue models. I'm not sure why people are stuck on this one."

"I guess.
"My time is way too valuable to waste it doing ..."
I hear that so much.
Is it, really? How much time did you spend on the XBox this week? Did you watch that three hour very special episode of the Bachelor?
Chances are, your time probably isn't as valuable as you say.
My whole point in responding to this thread is that the idea behind all these new technological upgrades to our life is to be flexible. If your life is so rigid that a customer or client or vendor being "late at the gate" wrecks your day and your productivity...
... well, whatever. You guys can get all bent out of shape. It just makes me look better by comparison while I mop up all the business you guys refuse to service because you're upset about someone getting caught in traffic or whatever."

"The philosophy/ideology of anarchism, within which Libertarianism finds it's home, is one of inclusiveness. Socialists like you can live in a libertarian society and voluntarily practice your socialism in groups as small or large as you can manage.
Libertarianism is the ideology of shutting the fuck up and letting people decide how they want to live at a societal level. Libertarians literally want you to do whatever it is you want to do, up to and including characterizing libertarians as nutjobs."

"If you're never late, your life both less interesting than it could be as well as ridiculously under-optimized. I vacillate between on time, early and late depending on the circumstances of the day and the depth of the conversation in any given meeting or the height of the concentration in my heads-down work.
If you have 30 minutes to devote to being early to everything, you're wasting unbelievable amounts of time."

"There is no conclusive evidence that vaccines in any way contribute to infant deaths. There is no credible debate on this. Your premise is flawed.
That isn't hateful, it's simply the facts."

"Oh sure, you convinced me then. No sources needed!!!
Oh, by the way, I have an unnamed source that says you run a terrorist sleeper cell. I'm running it as a headline feature post on my site tomorrow. Who cares if it's factual or not?"
