Apply for a fellowship that involves a security clearance. Can't register an account because the Terms of Service and Policy Privacy are both dead links and there is a very small part of me that thinks it's a test. I'm aware that this is insane, but here we are.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I have Adblock and I still get ads.
I turn off adblock on some websites I frequent for the express purpose of seeing ads.

Ads make sites money. Helping your favorite sites get money allows them to stay around.

Oh no it's not that. I just like the ads.
The ones on the MSPA site stick out as good examples, since they go through a special service whose name currently eludes me. But more generic ads can be funny to see sometimes.

I've enabled ads on the LP Archive, and that's about it. Sure as hell am not going to let Youtube pester me with 4-6 ads per video.

For some reason, my Kindle doesn't get ads on YouTube. Flash ads don't work either. Maybe it's Silk not supporting flash?

I don't know what side of Youtube you guys are on. I rarely - if ever - see ads on my videos.

Edit: Wait, apparently I forgot to disable Adblock for Youtube on this computer. Derp.

YouTube ads... meh, when I use YouTube without Adblock I get 15-second ads before literally every video. I'd like to disable Adblock, at least for the little guys who I like, but I can't put up with the nonstop 15-second ads for products I will never buy on repeat ad nauseum.

Took me forever to find out why Black Face, even well done non-racist blackface, is racist... Since I never take things at face value.

The conclusion I came up with is that it is... Insensitive

There is almost no way to do it without being insensitive (and the few ways usually involve parody or satire.. and even those need to be handled right)

UGH! Morality is hard... >_<

I drank an entire little cup of pancake syrup at work today. No thought at all behind it. Just "Better not let this go to waste!" And then I was like "Wait, why did I do that."

What decisions have led me here? :(

I would do that if it was good maple syrup. That stuff is precious.
