"Thank you for applying for a position in Serious Tech Company. In order for us to review your application, you need to find a way to bypass our incoming mail filter (we are not allowed to touch it). Looking forward to working with you! Maybe."

Being correct is not equivalent to being right.

I was pointed out, correctly, that not all people who happen to work at the Agency necessarily trust it. I'll rephrase:

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who don't trust the Agency, and those who don't trust the Agency for completely different reasons.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who don't trust the Agency, and those who work there.

"You keep asking me if i know where Mr. NotHereRightNow might be, and you keep getting the same answer. Tracking people is not my job! I don't work at the Agency, sir! Though, i did submit an application once... They didn't answer."

I have a feeling it wouldn't be as funny if you did.

I'm arguing with invisible people in my head. It's hard to imagine a more favorable environment, as they can't throw at me anything i haven't heard before; But i still, somehow, manage to lose.

An acceptable blockchain joke takes a lot of work to get right.

When a prominent tech company rejects all email that doesn't come from one of the five most popular freemail providers, it effectively postulates that anyone capable enough to run their own mail server is overqualified to work there.

"Not on my watch, which ends in fifteen minutes!"

If you are doing it wrong, but get the desired results, you are probably doing it right.

Correctness is secondary to usefulness.

Delivery confirmed. Hail to the people! (The weather phenomenon, of course.)

Try also posting a Bitcoin Cash address. Cashies tend to be more generous than laser-eyes.

Few things make you appear refined and cultured, as casually swearing in Elder Speech.

Si vis pacem, para bellum. Si vis bellum, para...?

If you treat someone like your bitter enemy long enough, sooner or later they will start acting the part, if only out of self-preservation.

Everything is permitted, but nothing is allowed.

I am more of a process than an entity.
