Having been raised in a religious household and having escaped it later in life to become an engineer/science nerd, while being ostracized by my, incredibly, incredibly disappointing parents because they refuse to learn new things or acknowledge scientific studies that conflict with their religious views:

This answer is unequivocally, absolutely, a 100% correct take on humanity and their need for the “simplistic” and incorrect answers religion gives about the world around them.

Well. Now I’ve got another fear to add to the list.

The double decker is still around, they call it something else, but you can still order it.

That’s pretty much exactly what he claimed.

FWIW, I never thought I’d remarry either.

It could happen if you meet the right person and want to share your life with them. Took us close to 8 years of dating before we got married.

Super small wedding, total of 7 people invited. I kept waiting for the “other shoe to drop” with her, but it never did, and then I realized she’s the real deal, and I could commit with her without some dark side of her personality showing up or her getting run off to the hills with my issues.

Anyhow, maybe it doesn’t work for you, and it sounds like maybe not with your current GF with the mental health issues.

Wishing you guys all the best regardless, just wanted to let you know I was pretty much in the same camp until a couple years ago after my previous marriage ended almost 15 years ago.

Gotta let the shareholders know value is only paused. More value will be created once we finish abolishing the remaining rights of EU Citizen’s privacy.

Shareholders are always worried about their value. Gotta pause growth. Can’t stop growth. Growth is infinite. The universe is infinite, and so is the capitalism machine.

It’s stock, not cash

Because Netflix didn’t dismantle the capitalism machine.

Capitalism can never fully disrupt itself. It’s always cyclical. If bundling eventually made it more money, then it will eventually return. If the response to that is to innovate something that gets around that form of bundling, then that “disrupts” the market, in the short term, only for the market to settle back to bundles.

Because as long as the idea makes more money in a capitalistic society, it will never die.

Yeah, there’s ways around this. It’s just that most of the ublock origin blocking specific code, isn’t reusable here and the team will need to start over to deal with this new tactic/approach from Google.

The cure might eventually be worse than the disease though. If not now, or tomorrow, then the next day.

I want to believe…

Honestly, just looks like he was captured or saved, and stored in the bathroom until they could figure out what to do with him. He probably got nervous and tried to climb out. They’re insanely strong in certain directions, like, insanely. Wouldn’t take much to pop the toilet off its bolts.

He’s being condescending because he believes as a developer nothing is actually fully secure. If I spend 100 hours building and securing something, that’s not going to stack up very favorably vs the 1,000’s or even 1,000,000’s of hours attackers and communities can spend trying to break my security layers.

Basically, he’s a dick in how he answered the question, but the truth every software engineer learns, is that there is no fully secure system. There’s always an angle/attack vector you didn’t think of and secure.

Edit, guess I was wrong

Trump is going to fuck shit up so much worse than Biden over there. Like, orders of magnitude. They’re deluding themselves if they think any different.

1994 Ford Taurus.

I went over a speed hump at 5mph and the whole engine fell out of the front.

Apparently it’s not supposed to do that.

Religious apologists downvoting and PMing me how wrong I am haha. I guess they’d rather keep kidding themselves then.

Like, for those downvoting me because you don’t like what I said, doesn’t change the fact that it is correct. I’m not saying that just to be a dick. What’s happening over there is entirely due to religious influences and control warping people’s minds from childhood to think there’s some supernatural forces or divine guidance that gives them the “OK” to genocide another group, no matter the cost in casualties.

That’s coming from a place of zealotry and extremism that is driven by millennia of religion. And the people in the US that continue to support Israel are no better. They’re all calling themselves Zionists. It’s the belief that in order for the end days of their scripture/teachings to come to pass, requires “God’s chosen” (aka the Jewish population of the world), to reclaim their “lost sacred religious lands”, which is Israel and Palestine.

Once the Israelites do that, then a bunch of stuff in the New Testament supposedly comes to pass, specifically Revelations, which is the key signifier for the end times.

It’s why all the crazies are coming out of the woodwork to support Israel along with the “non-crazies”.

The truth is they share a common insanely crazy belief, which is zionism, and it’s pretty fucked up.

Exactly this.

Other way around. What drives those two things and is used to control the masses while it happens telling them that it’s their divine right to settle the west?

Manifest Destiny is something you should probably check into if you truly believe what you wrote.

Right. Like, let’s not kid ourselves. This conflict is due to religion, as is the core of the US support for Israel.
