Wait, the claim you made was "constant" news of terrorist organizations operating out of Canada . The list you cited was the Canadian governments' list of global entities that are designated as terrorist organizations and

Organized crime, sure. But what terrorist organizations are you referring to? I live in Vancouver and have not heard of anything notable in this regard.

None of what you said is a valid reason for "banning" crypto.

The same thing that happens when the Visa network "goes out". That particular payment type is unavailable until the issue is resolved. https://www.wired.com/story/visa-outage-shows-the-fragility-...

For Reddit and HN, I simply added some browser CSS that removed the "next page" links (on Reddit you'll need to use the old version for this to work). Since I can browse the first page, that allows me to "cut back"

Right you are about Sims 1... and I did love that game! Kudos. Wingdings as Comic Sans is indeed the stuff of nightmares. I'll be lucky to sleep tonight :-)

I'm aware of the timeline but it has no bearing on the point I actually made. Invading Ukraine only makes the need to join NATO more pressing for the Ukrainians not less.

IIRC SmugMug was family owned and run. Perhaps it still is?

by mthoms 5y ago
Smugmug was pretty cool except for the Comic Sans (-ish) logo. That thing was so hideous and amateur many people just didn't take them seriously.

Oops. That should read: "In isolation, it isn't."
584.
by mthoms 5y ago
Exactly. Annexing parts of Ukraine, and then complaining that Ukraine joining a defensive alliance is a threat is beyond absurd. If they didn't want Ukraine to join NATO, maybe Russia shouldn't have gone out and demonstrated to th

Similarly, I like to say something along the lines of "lies by omission are still lies".

In isolation, nothing.

>Also, "users here are very tolerant of that" — I'm sorry, I have to disagree with that hugely. You say I'm "suspicious" because... I have repeated behavior of being suspicious? That's a circular reason

Sure they do. I’ve used those parental controls myself. Every single app in the App Store has an age rating. An underaged user can only download apps in the age categories that their parents have specifically authorized.

You may not be a paid shill (I’m certainly not accusing you of it - that would be against the rules) but your behaviour is indeed curious for someone who is trying to not look like one. For instance, why are you trying to get in touch with

Whoa, I think we're on the same team. I was saying it's not ethical to tell only your gov't about the exploit, and not your customers.

Ethically , it’s not the same.

Does your evidence of manipulated reporting consist entirely of adjusting the saturation of an image or is there anything more substantial? Just look at the skin of the human being in both photos - the less saturated one looks 100% more n

This is our 6th (or so) exchange on this matter and the first time you've even acknowledged that the crying wording exists (!). I've asked you what you think of the crying over and over and you repeatedly answer in vague terms

A bit of a tangent but: my wife has a seizure disorder. Having the indoor cameras (which I can view remotely), coupled with an Apple-watch seizure alert app have been a godsend for us. Absent that, I don't think I'd be comfortable
