I’d love that too. But those books have become essentially a parody of themselves in today’s context. Without the 60’s mental POV, they’re nonsensical, racist, rapey and sexist. You’d end up in a unironical Austin Powers. I mean, the books are literarily fun fiction to read. But let’s not pretend they’re not cringey white male power fantasies. Spies were the coldwar’s mall ninjas. I’d rather revisit the spy kids universe.
Brain damage in general is my hypothesis. Repeated head trauma, toxic substances like drug abuse and heavy metals in general. Anything that damages brain tissue eventually disrupts the ability for rational thought in the mild end to disconnection with reality altogether in the most extreme cases of psychosis.
You’ve never shared your intimate personal life with anyone? Your fears and woes, and happiness and triumphs? One of the wonderful qualities of deep friendship is the ability to withstand long stretches of being apart and still shine as brigth as the last time you met. I have a couple of people right now who I haven’t seen or talked to in years. But I have the utmost certainty that if I were to pick up the phone and write them “hey, can we talk?” I would get an almost immediate response, despite the timezones. And the conversation would flow as if we just talked yesterday. That, is friendship to me.
SpaceX wins have nothing to do with Musk. It’s the literal army of engineers doing the work. Tesla’s event was a bunch of dudes in remote controllers showcasing 5 year old technology trying to sell it as future tech. Musk is a con man, all he knows how to do well is sell bullshit. Nothing he has ever promised has ever been delivered. What the engineers that work for him have promised, without the smokes and mirrors of stock trading theater, they have some what delivered.
This “move fast break stuff” worship is just an excuse to hurt others without consequences and to deflect responsibility. For that matter, SpaceX is forced to deliver without the seagull manager meddling because they’re overwatch by the government. Putting trust in a company even though you know for certain they cannot deliver and are scamming you out of your money is either shilling or insanity.
He is, watch the vídeo. Longwinded list of criticism, controversies and red flags in a single event, then back to shilling. “If anyone is gonna deliver, it will be Tesla”, god, it even sounds like an ad read.
Tesla is faux futurism. They don’t promote an utopia, but a fascist capitalist dystopia. Where tech has made it so you don’t have to talk with poor people anymore. Talk to your robot maid instead, and get shuttled around so you never have to interact out of your class bubble.
Maybe because psychopathy is not a diagnosis. Psychopath is a popular or sometimes criminalism term, it’s definition is vague and its use is not very strict. In mental health there’s antisocial personality disorder and psychopathic traits in personality testing. But there’s no single definition of what being a “psychopath” is.
The overlords decided that comics are for selling shit to nerds and cartoons are for selling shit to children. Now that nerds are all over 30 there’s no need for comics anymore, duh!

But in general, Japan is still way more into paper publishing still. Much more than the western world.
He is also very heavy handed. The entire admin team is (not necessarily a bad thing). I was banned from a community for reporting a comment that insulted me directly because they didn’t like a joke I made. The joke was a harmless word pun, the comment I reported called me an idiot. But I was the one banned. Resource? None, calling the mod chat to argue a community ban is discouraged and also an offense. My account could be banned just for pointing it out in this comment. But that’s just the way things are here. I had to block FS because he tended to argue in bad faith with me whenever I happened to comment in the same post as him.
Recently I had to replace my mouse, bought a G502. The mouse itself is a solid quality mouse. But then, three months in, the USB cord split the covering plastic and exposed the wires, right at the connector. I chose it wired specifically to use with a desktop computer that doesn’t move anywhere. It was meant to be a stationary mouse, I plugged it once, then never unplugged it again. Then one day while dusting the case I noticed the damage. Nobody touches this computer but me. The only explanation is that it came faulty from the factory and just a little heat from the case made the plastic open. I honestly didn’t want to bother with having it replaced, just sealed it with shrink wrap and moved on. But I won’t ever be buying another Logitech product.
Humor comes fast to you, but you’re obviously faster.
If an adult is a suspected victim of human trafficking the police will be alerted despite their consent. Sexual abuse victims will be contacted by police and social workers as it is their job, not the doctor’s, to offer assistance and determine the consent and course of action to take. Same thing happened here, the doctor is not qualified to make the judgment call, so they call someone who is qualified and authorized to make such decisions. For doing so, the doctor is permitted and expected to partially disclose patient information, like identity and anything they saw or heard that prompted them to call social services or police. As they did in OPs case. This is not the violation of rights you think it is. It’s actually a sensible compromise to try and protect the most vulnerable members of society. Adults can be vulnerable too.
It’s usually strictly regulated what is allowed and what requires consent. Like I said, life saving is usually the intended criteria. That’s how child molesters are caught. Are you gonna ask diddler daddy for consent to put him in prison for giving his daughter HPV?
You’ll flip when you find out that there are circumstances in which they are mandated by law to share your personal information. That stuff is regulated to hell, and rallying resources to help people sleeping rough is a good thing in my book. Maybe OP doesn’t need the help but the other 99% of the people living on their cars are at huge risk to life. Starvation, hypothermia, malnutrition, human trafficking, prison, just to name a few.
I love these dorks because they always look like CGI, but no. That’s just the way they look and photographs are accurate.
If you want to know how to fix this problem, the term to search for is sleep hygiene. You’ve been waking up at the wrong times in your sleep cycle. Quality sleep is a matter of habits, every person is a bit different. Research and apply what fits best with your lifestyle. Also, invest in quality beds and pillows, as well as temperature regulation. It’s far more important than most people give it credit.
Listen, that computer was manhandled and abused for almost two decades. You’d be shocked by the weird things they got it to do. Part of the hazard was all the Chinese “upgrades” it got over time.
An old Pentium III an extended family member had burned itself out of disrepair. The computer was used for about a decade before being forgotten, but plugged in for some other 5 years. Then they had the bright idea of using the old computer without cleaning it. It all went well for a while it boot up and otherwise was it old win7 self. Except, a couple of days later they let it on overnight. The house owner was awaken alarmed by the fumes of burning plastic and a faint trail of smoke coming from the case.
The over a decade buildup of dust had been trapping heat so bad that some old shoddy HDD power cable melted partially exposing the conducting wires. Then it short circuited and arced through the dust setting some lint on fire.
The flame was minuscule and it was controlled fast. But I would say that, it is indeed wise to clean your computers, at least once in a while.
The gold surface gets dented, nothing more personalized than a medal with your teeth marks on it.
Maybn read the article, chill down a bit. We all hate advertisers here. Everyone trusts Let’s Encrypt, they’re privacy and encryption advocates who run one of the largests online certificates repository. They’re a nonprofit, and they have been doing this for a decade. They’re the reason the internet is a bit safer by promoting widespread implementation of encrypted traffic.
Sure, anyone can turn bad actor at any time. But this guys are starting from a really high bar and have a really strong reputation.
Add: also, this is a good step for Mozilla. We want a internet free from Google, and that includes financially. Google puts practically the totality of the money for the Mozilla foundation. Donations don’t come close to the millions needed to develop and support a web browser. A direct relationship with advertisers, under Mozilla’s terms and not the advertisers predatory terms, would be a good thing.
All of them* and seen all the films as well. I’m an extraordinary fan of the series. But I’m also not delusional and can hold a critical view of the entertainment media I consume and regard them from the POV of the context that produced them. Casino Royale is still my favorite. Thunderball is still the goofiest shit Fleming wrote.
Now you tell me your five favorite songs by the famous band and prove you are not a poser. /s
