There oughta be a hyphen in that title somewhere.

No high-iq individual will work 2 weeks per week with no pay in a society that requires money to live.

I’ve never had problems using terms like “look man,” “oh boy,” or “dude” In “normal” conversion with anyone until recently. I was talking to a trans-woman I know and definitely stopped myself from dropping “hey man” in our conversation because I thought she would not appreciate it. That’s caused some self reflection and while I’ll probably continue to use genderbent language when talking with my wife I’ll probably seek to minimize it elsewhere. I don’t really know how in tune a given woman I’m talking to is with their muliebrity and it seems not my place as a cis man to make that determination for them.

I would say for a lot of people it probably doesn’t matter, but for those that it does it does a lot and it’s no skin off my back to try to be courteous in my speech with whomever.

“Oh good! You let some cereal in. I guess you can have a little genocide as a treat!”

Probably with running a bunch of independents at the local level. You can’t do what the Greens tried and drag out an asset for the top position every four years with nothing else to show. Start small and get people used to the idea that it’s okay for someone outside of the main parties to hold office. Build results then form a party from the independents once you’ve had some successful incumbents.

Therefore the wanton slaughter of 41,000 people is justified! Who knew they had an excuse this whole time?

I’ve often thought about making an interactive timeline of the universe that would allow you to see what events happened at a specific time superimposed on a 3D model of the universe, galaxy, solar system, planet, etc. That way you could get a decent idea about scale Ann’s concurrency.

I haven’t built it yet cause that’s hard.

Yep, swipe input with midnight brain do be making those alternative facts. Thanks for pointing it out.

Coca leaves. They’re de-coked prior to use, but they’re still a controlled substance. Coke has an exception built into the law that effectively makes them the only country company in the US that can access them (possibly outside of medical, I’m not really sure and don’t care to check). There’s not a lot in the drink anymore as it is, just enough to keep the name.

Well, aside from it being illegal for any entity except Coke to handle one of the ingredients.

What’s the worst that can happen? Someone buys it and starts hawking boner pills? Yeah, that ain’t exactly gonna ruin his good name.

At some point the electrical signal has to be clear at a hardware level. Companies can make it harder, but if they’re streaming any info to a device in your possession someone will be able to extract that clean electrical signal and reproduce an acceptable feed.

What I mean by “on your computer” is not that it originates on your computer, but that some form of it exists there–namely this is going to be images, text, links, etc that the ad company hosts and a website will normally download temporarily along with the rest of the site’s content. Once your computer has that site’s information you can do anything you want with it. Importantly what exists on your computer is a local copy of what the ad servers host. If you decide to color ads blue on your computer that only affects your copy. The original ad, and everyone else’s copies remain intact.

To put it another way:

• If you want to see something it has to be clear (unencrypted)
• If you want to see something on your computer it has to be on your computer
• You can control your own computer

Therefore, any media that is viewed on your computer is clear, on your computer, in a realm that you control.

This is also why ad blockers work. You can send me ads, or requests to fetch ads and my computer just ignores them.

Companies will never be able to stop this, cause at some point you can always just intercept the data feed at a hardware level and reconstruct the stream.

Realism wasn’t necessarily the end goal of a lot of painting. When you look at old Christian art one thing to notice is that different people can have vastly different sizes. The virgin mother may be most prominent, some patron saint smaller, and the artist themselves or the commissioner may be included as smaller figures. This play of scale was a device to show what was important and being sure to capture and portray that hierarchy was a more important goal than realism.

Probably just used the design labs. It is a previous generation controller though.

This would be “again,” no?
