That just means he’s not a middle manager or exec, not that he isn’t cashing the check from someone who is clearly a short sighted idiot.

To find tools applicable to reality. Not to construct reality.

The world just is, regardless of what we think about it. Physics is our best attempt so far to understand and predict it at a low level, but it will always be incomplete. Maths (and especially compsci!) are constructions by and for humans.

Clearly you haven’t been reading the news? This is just ignorant.

The typical response if someone comes knocking is ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about’. And really, how would they prove it unless you left a stack of printouts next to the door? Now they could prove it was your printer (and that has ha

Also the constant turning on despite my prior explicitly disabling of spyware (memory ‘live sampling’ to the cloud for ‘virus protection’, one drive ‘auto backup’), and features I’ve explicitly disabled like copilot. It’s creepy as fuck, an

Uh huh. That’s not at all what your comments have been saying.

This whole conversation is bizarre. yes, that is what I said. it seems to be pretty different from what you were saying though, since if you meant it that way then what is even the point of your comment?

It’s not against the law, the way you’re using the term.

Still way cheaper than the funerals?

At the point there is a noticeable mortality spike, it’s not just a few weeks of discomfort eh?

For some reason they seem allergic to AC - see the rest of this thread.

I think they’re arguing we’d be doing something about global warming instead of rage baiting each other from the comfort of our cool houses on social media while ignoring it, like we’re doing. Well, not really ignoring it, more like making

Weirdest argument to keep letting 100k grandmas die from heat every summer I’ve ever heard.

Have you ever tried it in public, except in perhaps a college town or another handful of special places or circumstances? Because you’d definitely get threatened with disturbing the peace, entertaining without a license, or be evaluated for

‘Every one is the same’, even when one group or another doesn’t like doing some kind of work for some reason. Because surely no one would have legitimate preferences based on their gender, cultural norms, etc. or real differences in aptitud

Shifted? Not at all. Merely articulated the specific mechanisms. As you note - my original point stands, and is correct. It’s difficult to come up with ‘weird’ or ‘suspicious’ behavior that isn’t going to be reasonable suspicion of somethin

Eh, most roads start where other roads end or meet. The wheel turns, regardless.

Not really, in the way you are using it. Only in specific edge cases and definitions, which I’m guessing you don’t know. And calling it ‘illegal’ is a stretch in 95% of them. Generally worst case any evidence gathered would just be inadmiss

Don’t threaten me with a good time. I keep asking dang to ban me; no luck so far. Looks like you’ve wasted about the same amount of time here as I have!

Society (broadly) disagrees, and even trivial examples would have you agreeing with them if you thought it through. If a cop saw someone hiding in your bushes at 2am - stop and check it out, or nah?

You also can’t ban these without making it impossible to stop 99% of real issues either. A giant banana car is the definition of unusual behavior, after all.

Duh? Maybe re-read my comment?

Because no one is allowed to have fun, obviously.

I can assure you, pulling over the banana stand is not the road to death camps. The death camps are.

squints have you met any police?

The exceptions prove the rule. The situation OP described (military members just ‘quitting’ on short notice and working private sector) aren’t possible for 99% or more of service members.

If you’re enlisted (or even commissioned in most cases), you quite literally don’t get to quit.

Yes, but counterpoint - code duplication is also the wrong abstraction. Pro tip - which is the least bad abstraction? Answer: it depends!
