This was my conment on a post saying that pregnant people should always be used instead of pregnant women. My comment was under someone saying vitamins for pregnant women should say vitamins for pregnant people. I have a trans son and many trans friends. My comment was not promoting hate!

There's no King of the Alphabet People dictating and controlling exactly how everyone behaves. You're dealing with individuals who due to America's (and other) shitty government are dealing with a literal existential crisis. This is a terrifying position to be in. Unfortunately I consider it normal and expected that in a situation like this for people to feel cornered and viciously protective of their safe spaces.
It's not impossible to have a good faith discussion over the Internet. But not everyone wants to have those discussions. Not everyone wants to actually educate and recruit allies. Yes, notice I said "recruit" - it takes mutual effort to build that relationship, and that means both sides need to chill the fuck out and talk without alienating the other.
The problem isn't necessarily "stuff not sent over vpn isn't encrypted". Everyone uses TLS. It's more that you are no longer NATed behind the VPN egress IP. When governments want to assassinate anyone who touches a destination IP, having the true source IP instead of a VPN source IP is pretty helpful. For this to be practical you first need a botnet of compromised home routers... which they already have.
In a corporate environment, traffic that is VPN'd typically also undergoes better logging and deep packet inspection.
It's understandable to want bad thing to happen to bad people. But where I lost empathy for OOP was when he got sad about her banging a bunch of dudes long after the breakup. It implies he feels like she belongs to him forever, or something.
Each of the companies that we have talked to for Hot air balloon rides have said you pay for it in advance, then if there is bad weather, you don’t get your money back. You just have to reschedule for another day. We have a friend who had to make many many many trips an hour and a half each way and each time on the way there,...
Usually in situations like this you might be able to schedule it super far in advance, and then maybe a week later call and cancel to get a refund due to "unrelated reasons"
Totally not the same. Religious people believe the afterlife is better than real life and the OP was curious why they aren't speed running to get to it.
A blank nothingness is not an upgrade for most people.
I think heaven was a necessary evil. The point was to have a scary place with an omnipresent being that will send you there if you break the rules. For that to work, you need a good place to serve as the dangling carrot.
It's relatively worse. If you have nothing you won't be around to complain about it. But having a good life is totally better than simply not existing.
You're agreeing with me, so I'm not sure why you're saying No.
The con man uses the carrot as part of the convincing. And people are just as susceptible to those strategies now as they were back then. Science is better now but the "floor" hasn't moved much, just the ceiling.
My Asus motherboard started bluescreening Windows. After a lot of effort I traced it down to a specific device ID that windows was loading firmware for. No matter what I tried I couldn't get this auto installation to stop. It was a totally random component that added nothing I could tell.
Asus refused to release new firmware be cause the motherboard was "unsupported" even though the box etc has stickers saying it supports windows 10.
After a ton more effort I figured out how to make some low end api calls that eventually stopped this auto installation. It was mostly reliable. I got to crack a lot of jokes to my friends about my motherboard not supporting windows but it was a really hard period for me particularly because Linux gaming wasn't as strong as it is today. I was really big into league of legends at the time and this experience forced me to quit, losing touch with many friends in the process.
MBTI, DISC, and love languages work well together. Even if there's no hard proof, it at least gets your thinking about the fact that other people think differently. It's very easy to live in your own head and make assumptions, so getting exposed to these concepts in a formal way can be really effective in building relationships of all kinds.
I wouldn't be surprised if those loans are repaid without realizing the gain of the collateral. Step-up basis is a huge tax dodge, and tax dodge is theft from all the people who would benefit from the things those taxes could pay for.
The way the rich use loans as income is unfair. Therefore the rich do not pay their fair share.
If you agree the system is broken I encourage you to reconsider your prior statements about the rich not paying their fair share.
Rich people do a variety of shady stuff and keep it hidden (Panama papers), I wouldn't trust your lack of data points to mean it isn't a pervasive problem.
With a electoral system like Ranked Choice voting, people would feel safe to vote for whomsoever they wish, as their vote would still be counted even if their preference didn’t win....
If there is a huge section of the population that writes in candidates, the person who would have won those votes in a ranked choice situation is motivated to enact rank choice voting.
Yeah idk. If you check my comment history you will see this conversation getting played from several angles. Obviously trump is worse than Biden, but Trump being that bad means if we all agree to fall in line then Biden has no incentive to to improve
We could play the slow game and slowly install progressive people and hopefully stuff will be better in 50 years, but with the wealth inequality since Reagan I feel like we’ve already tried the slow game. It’s hard to tell if things are actually improving.
I’m just so sick of watching Bernie be on the right side of history every time. Motherfucker is actually literally batting a thousand
He did release a video recently criticizing him at the start, but then falling in line after. Biden won the primary and Bernie isn’t splitting the vote. It’s too late cuz primary is over. Gotta go Biden due to FPTP
Yeah but people love to say “if Trump wins democracy is over for good”. Idk if I want another four years of that but I do think Biden needs an actual incentive to change.
The system is what it is. Would you rather he tell people to vote trump? The primaries were over. Given FPTP if you vote a third party you either split the vote and lose, or waste a vote.
Split is a move in blackjack. It’s not just hit and stay.
You turn your 9-9 into two separate hands starting with 9s. The most likely card in blackjack is a ten cuz of all the face cards, so the idea is you get 19s instead of 18s
However according to blackjack cheat sheets you should not do this if the dealer is showing 7 10 or A.
Oh I’m sorry, is this not the lefty sub where we’re allowed to point out dissatisfaction in the democratic party, and how they can do whatever the hell they want because the right will always be worse and nothing is being done to eliminate first-past-the-post?

That's a good start, I think. The tricky bit is I think you need thirty years straight of good decisions so that the next generation is fully done "correctly". Will be harder to abuse the system after that.
"Be more like the winner" is interesting. Trump is a populist and he was more worried about Bernie than Clinton.
If we define the size of the Internet as a continuous function, and it started at zero and currently doesn’t fit in your phone then yeah, no shit, at some point it fit in your phone.
If it’s truly continuous there was an exact point where it would exactly fill up your phone with no room left over.
That’s a great question. No way to tell. It’s freaking emoji.
A thumbs down could be displeasure of the product not being able to catch it, or it could be them not liking the comment because they think it’s untrue.
A fuzzer might catch the crashes related to the memory layout? But its purpose is to look for vulns not malice.
