Fry the onions until the entire Universe behind them becomes transparent, revealing the wallpaper of the laboratory where it is kept as an experimental energy source.
I donate 10% of my income every month, which is as much as I can and also 33.3x more than 0.3%. Don't paint everyone with the same brush, especially not to defend the haves from the have-nots.
I agree, but don't forget that holding the overprivileged responsible to society for the wealth that society gave them is one of the necessary steps towards that reform. Without a culture of giving back, the change we want will never happen.
Well, there are still villains like Lex Luthor, Kingpin and Amanda Waller to represent the actually evil part of society. They're just a minority because goofy over-the-top villains in silly costumes are more entertaining for the kids.
I’ve gone back and forth on taking a multivitamin since I know my diet isn’t all that great. Ideally I should be working to improve that diet but let’s say due to certain circumstances that’s a bit difficult at the moment....
It's almost like people won't publicly criticize the government when the government imprisons and kills people who publicly criticize it and their families.
Outdoor advertising still works. TV ads still work. Social media advertising won't collapse. It may become less effective if legislation moves towards greater privacy protection but it'll still be effective.

While Jitsi is open-source, most people use the platform they provide, meet.jit.si, for immediate conference calls. They have now introduced a “Know Your Customer” policy and require at least one of the attendees to log in with a Facebook, Github (Microsoft), or Google account....
Possibly stupid question: if they found out that people were doing illegal stuff on it, doesn't that mean that they were monitoring people's conferences? I thought that the FOSS community was big on privacy.
This relates to the BBC article [www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66596790] which states “the UK should pay $24tn (£18.8tn) for its slavery involvement in 14 countries”....
Poor white people whose peasant ancestors were left jobless and homeless due to being unable to compete with free slave labor should pay reparations to the descendants of the people who were forced to work for free, while the rich descendants of the slave owners who dislodged one group while exploiting the other put their blood money in offshore accounts and laugh as the poor people squabble over crumbs.
The first of the tools Denuvo is offering to Switch developers is Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection, a “revolutionary technology to protect games launching on Nintendo Switch from piracy”....
Exactly. But AFAIK every Denuvo game eventually gets cracked, so at least we will have the pirate copies. From a preservation standpoint, a dumped ROM is much better than a physical cartridge anyway, since it's more portable and easier to back up. It's the contents of the cartridge minus the physical limitations.
Take my morning medicine with a tall glass of water, then roll over and sleep for some 20 minutes until it kicks in and I can force myself to get up. Then, breakfast, water the plants and shower.
Good, maybe in two or three more years Windows 11 will be useable. Right on time for Windows 12 to roll out and drag Microsoft users back to the Stone Age again.
It was the same on Reddit, people openly say disturbing things against children. What prompted me to post this is someone saying that babies should be put in overhead bins inside airplanes. Even if they’re joking, this is a disgusting thing to say. I won’t say that about anything else....
I think there's a clear subjective difference between consciously spanking a child as a form of discipline, as a rational decision and with the absolute minimum force required for it to work, and hitting a child as a form of punishment guided by negative emotions. In the first case, you're doing it to improve the child's life in the long run. In the second, you're just being violent towards someone weaker than you because you're the lowest of the low.
It's like the difference between a tasteful nude photograph meant to highlight the beauty of the human body and porn, or between using dissonance in music to create tension and using it because you're a bad composer. There isn't a set of general, objective rules to distinguish the two, but if you see it, you immediately know which one it is.
Hi, everyone. I really need to vent. I don't expect anybody to actually read this whole thing, but if you do I'd love it if you could share your thoughts with me....
Photons exist, so there is the perspective of a photon. Most may not be absorbed but that's irrelevant because some are. And when they are, their perspective - like them - ends. Like yours does when you die.
The photon does not experience time, but we do, so from our perspective they can be emitted and absorbed even though from their perspective they are timeless. Again, like us. Before you were born, you didn't experience being not alive. From your own perspective, you've always existed, even though from the perspective of someone older than you, there was a time when you didn't.
There's a difference between time not passing and not existing. To a photon, space (in the direction of its movement) doesn't exist, as its origin and destination points are the same. But time does not pass - the axis of time is there, but the photon never budges in either direction, like a rock buried in the middle of the desert doesn't move in any spatial direction on a human timescale. The photon's beginning and end aren't simultaneous, quite the opposite. Since it can't move in time, they might as well be infinitely far apart.
I don't resent anyone else for not being able to do what I do, because I'm aware that I can't do stuff that others can.
IQ is just one kind of intelligence. I have a high IQ (or had one ten years ago when I took a test, anyway), good body awareness, passable social intelligence and really, really low emotional intelligence. I suck at dealing with my feelings. So for every time somebody is complaining about some problem they have where I find the solution trivial, you can bet there's another time when I'm complaining about some stuff I'm dealing with where they're thinking "duh, just do this, that's obvious".
I wouldn't say I "cope" with it. I just accept it. People are different, we all have our strengths and weaknesses, and I think that being bothered by other people's weaknesses is a huge weakness in itself. I have a bit of that weakness (I think everyone does, it's frustrating to see people stumble over stuff that you take in stride) but when I feel that way, I just remind myself that it's my own weakness that makes theirs bother me in the first place, so it's my problem and my fault, and I move on.
I tested high on the IQ scale. I'm single, unemployed and have trouble making friends. I agree with you completely. Having a high IQ does not substitute for life skills nor does it make you happy.
The flip side is that having an extremely low IQ can make it very hard for you to navigate the world and perform basic tasks.
Weird question, maybe pointless, and yeah, kinda petty I will admit, but eh, there’s no stupid questions and I kinda got curious after an interaction (see after the dots if your curious)....
The flipside is that unless you're hired to be someone's teacher, nobody is obligated to explain things to anybody else. There are also "the journey is the destination" type questions where the answer doesn't matter as much as the process of figuring it out yourself. Like science experiments in school where the answer is already known and the point is to teach kids certain ways of thinking or how to use certain tools. So yeah, there are legitimate reasons to say that, but a lot of the time it is indeed a cop-out. And your example is absolutely one of those times.
Getting sick in the USA is like going to one of those fancy restaurants where the prices aren't on the menu and are always a lot higher than they should be, eh.
That's pretty much it. Systemd goes against the philosophy of "do one thing, and do it well" by doing a whole lot of things and being integrated to an extent that makes it pretty much impossible to use only an arbitrary subset of its components while replacing the rest with alternatives. I understand where the critics are coming from, but I honestly don't care either way.

Should cars be required by law not to let you drive to drug deals? Should glasses be required by law not to let you read banned books? Should testicles be required by law not to produce government-unsanctioned sperm?
Be that as it may, the quality of Reddit's content has dropped significantly. The people who left were the heart and soul of the platform. And the ones who didn't leave are still pissed. Bluntly, the site's gone to shit. It will not recover.
Will it shut down? Probably not, but that's why I said "in every way that matters". Digg hasn't shut down either, even after all these years, but it has become completely irrelevant. Just give Reddit time to bleed out and it will be the same.
