Dubs, because I’m a poser I know

“Normal” is a funny word - it’s means something that’s completely relative to you and your experiences. So for me, I’d ask:

People that went to high school with only 1 floor, did you think that was a bit odd?

People live different lives, normal means different things to different people. Let this be a good lesson to learn: Where you went to school, what your family cooks for dinner, if you drive/walk/take the train to work/school, if you speak one language - none of what you know as “normal” is normal to someone else. More importantly, someone else who experienced different things are not “odd” and those things are also not “odd” - they are just as normal to them as yours are to you. People aren’t different, odd, or weird - they’re just people. They just had different experiences. Obviously I’m alluding to things, but generally even the most base thoughts like this I like to reinforce that idea.

A better way to ask that may have been upvoted would have been “People who attended high school with 3+ stories, what was that like compared to a 1-story high school?” and give an example of how you only experienced a 1 story.

For me, so many crowded stairwells between classes. You learned what floors had the best bathrooms.

There was a waterblock was under NDA too… until he auctioned it off for profit and told them to pound sand.

Always downvote LTT now. Went from one of my favorite tech reviewers to the bottom.

I’m pretty far left and I chuckled at this. This is why the right makes fun of us for not being able to take a joke.

I believe you’re asking if health companies purchase the data. So I’ll make the assumption that maybe you’re a smoker and you’re wondering if your data will be purchased that you smoke and participate in smoking communities.

The official answer is no, and I doubt they are specifically purchasing that.

However, I think this is going to get very muddy very quickly over the next few years, as I don’t believe there are any laws (in the US) protecting us from health companies purchasing that info. At this point it’s been fairly difficult, but with machine learning and generative AI it’s going to be relatively simple to say “From all of the information you have about {user} tell me if they are a smoker, and if so how long they have been smoking” and then code to say if true and greater than 5 then put them in a higher insurance bracket.

So, I guess I’ll say probably not, but I wouldn’t risk it if you’re real worried.

Thanks!

Well I started last week… so… everything I guess

Just having 8 of them being spammed on the page at once. I’ll say they were funny, and I’m american. But it quickly became spammy. At least spread them out over a few days

I’m 99% sure this lady actually ended up being mentally unstable. And not haha maga unstable I mean like actual mental institution unstable. If you were wondering why your hilarious meme wasn’t taking off

I’ve always thought if they just showed a bit of encouragement to him he would have been fine.

You’re not master - yet. But don’t worry, you will be, it’s a process. Listen Anakin, I know it seems like a long thing, and you are doing a great job, but everyone goes through this. I went through it…

Instead he just got “You are not qualified. Sit down”.

Yeah, I know, took a couple watchthroughs to get it at first but this was their own arrogance really showing. They couldn’t be bothered just to show a bit of encouragement.

Lol like any democrat went “yay biden”. Same thing with Hilary. Both parties are picking turds.

South Park was always right. Douche and Turd Sandwich

I’ll have to check it out some time, we’ll see. It’s on prime though so…

but yeah, a remake is a real bad idea

I was trying to describe to my MIL (who hasn’t seen the Hobbit movies) how they were bad. I ended up with

Do you remember the barrel scene in the Hobbit? How would you describe it?

“It’s kind of where Bilbo really felt his confidence, where he tried the ring for the first time and rescued the dwarves, and they snuck out down the river to the city”

Great great, and do you remember the battalion of orcs trying to kill them while they went downstream with Legolas and Tauriel doing sweet kick flips over them, while Bombur bounced around jokingly killing a dozen of them, and then Fili having a moment of weakness for his elf princess love while he opened the gate and then he gets shot with a poisoned arrow?

…no

Well there you go.

They took one of the most endearing moments of the book and made it a joke. No, they cannot recreate the Lord of the Rings. Even if you don’t like PJ’s version, there’s just no way modern Hollywood can do to improve on it.

It’s going to be. Don’t have any hopes for it, just don’t. In fact, I’d argue just don’t see it unless we hear that it’s phenomenal for some reason after it’s been released.

Still haven’t watched rings of power, probably not now that I cancelled Prime after the ad fiasco.

Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War were fun - but very non canon.

Anyone who bought Gollum at all should take what you’re saying to heart. Zero true fans of the Middle Earth world would put any money down for that game. If anyone bought it because they were a fan they deserved to lose their money, zero of the marketing material looked like it was going to be a quality product or decent addition to the story.

We have one area of actual steady investment in our lives - our homes. And they can’t handle us making a tiny bit of money

and I find misinformation about topics like this also to be rude. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t understand something, but what I don’t like is you going out of your way to dissuade people from using a product when I don’t think you understand the core concepts of it. If you have valid criticisms like security of docker then that’s a different conversation about securing containers, but it’s hard to take them as valid criticisms if the criticism is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the product.

I don’t think anyone I have ever talked to professionally or read about docker would ever describe a dockerfile as “scripts for setting up software”. It is much more nuanced then that.

So yes, I’m a bit rude about it. I do this professionally and I’m very tired of people who don’t understand containerization explain to me how containerization sucks.

I empathize that they’re happy to have a job - but at the same time they only have a job because they’re being exploited.

We hate outsourcing because we can clearly see them choosing cheaper labor overseas instead of paying qualified workers locally.

They should also hate outsourcing because companies are going to their countries because they are perceived as easily exploitable, will work overly long hours, and be underpaid.

2020 it was just a postcard. They don’t send someone to your house unless there’s a discrepancy or you didn’t fill it out. Anyone could fill it out from your house too, but it should be head of household.

Yeah this sounds pretty dang selfish of OP. You gave two people their entire lives, new hopes and dreams, and yeah their friend circle is going to be tight for the rest of their lives…

But them doing couple things makes you jealous? Sounds like something OP needs to work on internally and figure out how to deal with those feelings

I don’t know how to edit Wikipedia, but it’d be great if somebody would edit the Streisand effect Wikipedia page to include this

Nooooo I said not to!
