Are we having an argument? Most likely I’m not trying to be a meanie, but I’m just struggling to understand / effectively communicate with yah.
Always gonna note too that Google Chrome (and chromium + derivatives to a lesser extent) kneecaps adblock plugins so that up to 50% fewer ad domains are blocked, blocklists are out of date, many in-page ads can’t be caught, it’s slower, and invisible trackers can bypass it.
The other 7.8 billion of us on this planet would have the biggest objection to “lbs”
I remember them telling us covid was low risk, that it would be contained, and not to panic.
I agree a lot public health management really fucked up in a big way, and we could have handled even the initial response a lot better. But in their defense, these statements had been true of every other overblown novel contagion in the past century. In the past couple decades there have been a few diseases which were touted as the new global pandemic and they came to very little (on the grand scale, not saying they weren’t serious for the people who suffered them). I also agree the mask shit was totally mishandled.
I think it’s impractical to call for a full-blown reaction to every new disease out there. Unfortunately then reacting to stuff when it does become big will take at least some time.
Personally wouldn’t currently advise anyone to “prepare” for it in any way beyond how they should already be as standard - Just always have a few days worth of canned food, supplies and masks.
It’s already been proven that piracy is a causal factor in more sales. Any self-interested dev should be promoting piracy of their game.
Whenever I’m asked for help by IT colleagues, I never say I’ll help solve an issue. I just say “Sure, I’ll come help stare at it for a while” - it’s the most I can really promise.
Calcium fluoride keep teeth winning
In Europe, these blocks are typically just IP bans, so secure DNS no helpy. You need a VPN or other proxy.
Is mass killing children via deliberate targeting not just like… automatically evidence?
Websites worked fine before ads, and they would work well again without them. Doubly so now that crowdfunding is a common method to support things people actually want.
You mean the conflict that literally started with the people of Donetsk and Luhansk taking up arms against a government that was explicitly shutting down their language and implementing outright oppressive laws against their ethnicities?
FWIW, if you’re in Europe, you have guaranteed rights to refund online purchases within a timeframe. I’m assuming they’ve factored that in, but worth knowing if not.
In fairness, I did quite like the suggestion to just remove division and subtraction! One that should be taken to heart :)
A fair criticism. Though I think the hating on PEDMAS (or BODMAS as I was taught) is pretty harsh, as it very much does represent parts of the standard of reading mathematical notation when taught correctly. At least I personally was taught its true form was a vertical format:
B
O
DM
AS
I’d also say it’s problematic to rely on calculators to implement or demonstrate standards, they do have their own issues.
But overall, hey, it’s cool. The world needs more passionate criticisms of ambiguous communication turning into a massive interpration A vs interpretation B argument rather than admitting “maybe it’s just ambiguous”.
Forward three hours, me using thesaurus.com to try fit the whole gist of my change into the first line.
This is the argument every single election. Every time, for decades, and yet things get continually worse.
I’d argue the belief that voting for an establishment party is any kind of a long-term solution is the biggest threat. By all means do it if it’ll help a little in the short term, but the ship’s still sinking.
Things will get inevitably worse. Voting might slow that decline slightly if we’re lucky.
The only hope for any kind of improvement, to reach a slightly tolerable world, is mass action outside of voting, and that just doesn’t seem to be happening. So it’s hard to care too much.
Though I’ve not dealt with alcoholism specifically, I’ve experience with very serious relationships that were ‘good when they were good, but abusive when they were bad’. Relationships I stayed in for many years too many, because I loved her and I thought things could change. From my anecdotal experience, I don’t think there’s much you can do but tell her how her behaviour affects you, support her insofar as you’re able, and hope that can inspire change.
Past that, I just want to say make sure you take care of yourself. It’s a certain possibility that she will not meaningfully change. No matter how much you love a person, you should never feel obliged to put up with being abused, no matter how infrequently nor in what context. And doing so will help neither you nor her. Best of luck.
Super cool, thanks guys for your work. And the join page is another way for people to find Hexbear, which can only be good <3
Already got all my favourite games downloaded or on DVD. All my Youtube favourites and the full catalogues of some old channels would be great. No JonGrumps and no 00’s meme videos make me something something.
