The threat profile changes, sure, but framing all the threats imposed by using large-scale foreign clouds as "imaginary", and every threat introduced by local providers as "real", is very disingenuous. > most service

Well I'm Canadian, so... But going off what I said, I acknowledged this sort of legislation is bad and that a right to privacy is needed. How do you arrive at "beatdown citizens in a government they have no passion about"? Al

Awareness of the reality, yes, but there's no reason to play people's emotions to get them "aware" of it - or in other words, get them angry about it.

People on average are really not that stupid and are absolutely capable of looking back a few years for context.

Is the assumption that 100% - or even close to it - of boys need a male mentor? How much of the remaining 28% have a female mentor? Also, that specifies "for schoolwork." Surely there's many boys that have a male they can tur

I don't see how being emotional vulnerable means letting your emotions "dominate your behavior in dysfunctional ways"

If you manage to "self-monitor" all the time, and never show more than a modicum of vulnerability, that seems very disconnected to me. Perhaps 'disconnected' is the wrong word, but what I mean is that emotionally healthy

I've not read much of Holmes, so I can't really speak to the original character, but I would point out that the "he can socialize, he just doesn't like to" bit is somewhat part of BBC's Sherlock too - look at t

How often do patients request this? Do surgeons ever say no? I would think there's a risk of distraction here.

Was I just described not only as "effortlessly confident" but also "emotionally stable"? That's new. My crippling depressing and social anxiety will be glad to hear it!

Not really, it's just that most of us are adults who have experiences with healthy adult relationships. "Is my partner going to leave me if I display emotional vulnerability" is not really a concern in healthy, adult relation

I've seen this mentioned a few times lately. Not that I disagree, but why would that be? Is it just Github's poplarity? Is it the ease with which you can sign on and start yelling at FOSS maintainers? Something else?
