Well, libertarians are not running things. So the government will not be leaving you alone of its own accord.

It stands for "Social Justice Warriors".

This originally meant someone standing up for minorities and the disadvantaged, but the term has been twisted into a derogatory insult for anyone who disagrees with conservatives on social issues.

Youtube/facebook won't throw you in jail for creating a competitor. The government will usually take exception to you trying to start your own government on their land.

Well, the difference is still there. You can switch to a different social network without too much difficulty (you miss out on that platform, but that's as far as the cost goes); You can't just declare yourself as part of a different country without actually up and moving there, changing your job, getting the new place, and rebuilding most of your connections, and potentially learn a new language depending on where you move.

Do you have a source for your claims?

There's a good flag to make "Read data from all websites" more reasonable.

It requires a "deliberate, explicit user action" to run the extension on the page each time even if it asks for that permission. And if you really do want an extension enabled 24/7 (such as vimium), then you can select a check box in the extensions page which allows the extension to run without specifically enabling it each time.

You can definitely write to the windows file system from WSL, so long as you don't need admin privileges to do it. I use it at work and 99% of the files I edit are in a windows controlled drive.

Why is social pressure necessarily feminine and violence necessarily masculine?

Hard to say currently, as my phone broke about a month ago and I intentionally didn't order a new one until just recently.

I'm also just bad at quantifying anything as a whole. I generally have trouble getting distracted whenever important things aren't attention-grabbing and shiny things are few clicks or taps away...

I experience self control issues on a fairly regular basis.

Computer, phone, daydreams, etc. I'm just recently keeping bad sleep habits at bay (usually, still occasionally let the lure of the shiny keep me up).

On a solution-level, I've found that exercise + proper rest tends to have the greatest singular impact on my self control. My willpower tends to scale with my energy-levels. In addition, adding little obstacles between you and the distraction (noprocrast setting on hackers news, forestry app for phone, etc) can often give me just enough time to pull myself back to important things.

Does it matter if the house in seattle is cooler if you're never going to be able to buy it?

That very much depends on whether the complexity increases intelligence/comprehension or whether it is merely increased complexity.
