"What flower would you bring me?" I teased, thinking to catch her off guard.
"A willow blossom," she said without a second's hesitation.
I thought for a long minute. "Do willows have blossoms?"
She looked up and to the side, thinking. "I don't think so."
"A rare treat to be given one then." I chuckled. "Why a willow blossom?"
"You remind me of a willow." She said easily. "Strong, deep-rooted, and hidden. You move easily
when the storm comes, but never farther than you wish."
I lifted my hands as if fending off a blow. "Cease these sweet words," I protested. "You seek to
bend me to your will, but it will not work. Your flattery is naught to me but wind!"
She watched me for a moment, as if to make sure my tirade was complete. "Beyond all other
trees," she said with a curl of a smile on her elegant mouth, "the willow moves to the
wind's desire."

@lvbot (If any news sources, that is).
-
What news sources do you guys use? I'm making a news-watching script that automatically shows me headlines so I can know when something neat happens, and later hook it to another site I bot. I know so little news stuff that I can only think of CNN.
-
@mushi Your chance is pretty damn solid, then. Even if there aren't enough for every body, you're still high enough to almost be guaranteed one. Nice job, studious little nerd.
-
@redenchilada Don't worry, there's a lot of people into asses. I'm sure you'll live a successful, assholish life.
-
@mushi Still damn good news, though. Do you think there's a good chance there's enough?
-
@mushi Wait, really? Does this mean you don't need to redo anything, or whatever?
-
I'm not sure why I started, probably curiosity, but I've been watching a bunch of Paralympic stuff while slacking on re-making another bot I have. This is more interesting than regular Olympics.

@redenchilada Was that homeless man you? Have you been repressing your memories?
-
@nerthos I wouldn't be surprised if it made him happy to hear for, for a while, because of college stuff.
-
@metaltao When they're alone, they laugh with each other about how everyone thinks they're whiny and old and going senile.
-
@awl Bronies are furries.

Oh, sweet, I forgot lvbot was based on the RSS feed. So not only blocks don't matter, but subscriptions don't either, so I can sub to as many quitter users as I want to. Was paranoid about it since I re-subbed to taka.

@lvbot I need to learn more about Dwarf culture and why they have so many children. Is it normal, or is it like when humans have seven children?
-

-
@nerthos Oh, yeah, that's a thing. I was focusing on how the prices were high, since that's the only way they can earn a profit (When combined with forcing it down your throat) as it's such a specialty resource. And making it so everyone can copy and spread it for free kinda defeats that even more than it is now.
-
@nerthos Abused in what way? I'm just chose textbooks as an example (mostly) arbitrarily.
-
@taknamay No body would spend years writing new, updated physics textbooks.
-
@critialcloudkicker I dunno. I've barely paid attention to the bulk of RDN's stuff. I saw a bunch of pokemon stuff earlier, so I figured you were talking about RDN at first. Apparently not.
-
@critialcloudkicker I mean that it's completely normal not to be able to get on all the bandwagons there are, and that small communities, especially, have a lot. I think I might have misunderstood your situation, too, to top it off.

@mushi A nickel I think. Five cents.

@scribus We need to vote for (Politician you dislike) to get (New jobs / Free education / Lower prices) and solve all our problems.
-
@scribus Robots sto9le our jobs. You can't get jobs without a bachelors. College costs money. It's all a conspiracy by the government to kill white men, that's why almsot every country but the USA has free college. We're oppressed.
-
@critialcloudkicker That's usually a given problem for small communities. As long as you aren't having a panic attack over being normal, you're fine. Don't let it get to you.
-
@critialcloudkicker Because you're normal. Are you OK?
-
@taknamay Also, sorry if my arguments are scattered. I woke up like a couple minutes before seeing Red's argument and getting interested.
-
@taknamay However that would ensure many products don't get by, wouldn't it? I'm thinking of things like college textbooks, again, and how happily and easily students would finds ways to work around having to pay for them, and things of the like. In general it's certainly useful to 'force' companies to ensure their product is valuable like that, but the most important cases, to me as an individual, are the edge cases slipping through if it's abolished.
-
@taknamay Disagreeing with control over individual's actions isn't enough, though, IMO. To give a very extreme example, it's like disagreeing with laws that tell you /not/ to put your fist in that one guy's face.
-
@lvbot For clarification though, I'm not a security expert, and I never studied economics. But, however, I did get that post to exactly 1,000 characters.
-
@redenchilada There's also the fact that while, yes, making something open-source allows countless individuals to help contribute to its security, it's more vulnerable than usual at the beginning. It also demands more resources be allocated to quickly fixing problems, before some kid finds a bug and posts all about it on facebook. High-class businesses often use security comparable to the government's, I believe, so as soon as it's open-source, more than just Americans will find problems in code and wondering "Can I apply this problem to security their government uses?" and, occasionally, finding out they can.
After that, going back to economy, it would probably take a hit even with new businesses entering the field. A lot of people already have a "I'll wait for it to go on DVD / TV / I will pirate it in a week" mentality. Making tools (Many of which cost a hundred dollars for a reason, just like college textbooks) a horrifying product to invest in making. (IE, no more adobe flash).
