I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to the airport waiting for the naked scanner and been part of a group tahen thru the metal detector instead and let thru. I don’t even have to opt out of the scanner for the pat down.

As an American I wondered when the police would be made the victims and the actual victim would either get shot or arrested and blamed.
Rich kids at private schools aren’t wasting time vaping. They have cocaine they bought off someone on the faculty or brought in from mommy and daddy’s stash at home.
Tell that to Microsoft. Lol.
Why the fuck do headphones require an app to run? Who thinks this is acceptable?
At work they don’t let us install ublock or FF so I’m stuck with stock Chrome and stock Microsoft Chrome 🙁
Or you could edit cookies with devtools.
Standing up for your rights isn’t convenient, but it has to be done. Those that engineer this shit know that and make it as convoluted they can for this exact reason.
Always be on guard against those who would make you give up your rights voluntarily while giving up none of their own.
The difference is that if someone decides to freeze your cashless bank account they can by a mouse click and you’re destitute. Whereas if that happens in a cash-based society they have to come and get it from you.
Get a conservative business-focused person into the government and watch them give infinite money to business in the form of subsidies, bailouts, and tax breaks.
A cashless society is so stupid beyond words. In order to create one you must also create a full surveillance society to protect it, and even that would be ineffective to stop it from being hacked.
Both of them audibly and uncontrollably fart instead of just Donnie VonShitzenpantz
I put my mom on Ubuntu with KDE 10 years ago. I had far less problems with her on Linux than I ever did with Vista and 7. It got to the point she was calling me multiple times a week.
I didn’t have to but I did one Ubuntu reinstall in that entire time only because I made /boot the default partition size at installation and years later it filled up constantly. I got sick of going over there to clean it up and it coincided with her getting a new computer.
My mom installed printer drivers, and Cisco VPN software from run packages instead of apt and set up multi- monitors on her own after I taught her how to use the terminal, so it’s possible for the elderly.
Huh? There have always sects of Protestantism that were more conservative, but by-and-large Catholicism is against birth control, abortion, homosexuality (maybe not this pope, with homosexuality) but trans rights, priests marrying, women worship leaders, etc. Sure not one Protestant sect is going to allow everything, but growing up Catholic and then converting to Lutheranism they didn’t have a problem with birth control, pastors having families and stuff.
And that not mentioning the more liberal small churches that didn’t had exceptions to everything.
Don’t get me wrong, they all have a long way to go still. They all teach we are all god’s children but then immediately backpedal
Don’t forget Catholicism spent centuries converting with a sword and their missionairies destroyed all remnants of native cultures history once they were converted. That’s an awful lot of discrimination from Catholics.
If you are curious look up the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther and his 99 Theses.
I’m paraphrasing and my thoughts on what I experienced this but it came down more to the idea that Catholics worship the pope and the saints more than god and jesus. If you were the leader of a nation that called themselves Catholic you could find the Pope telling you what to do when it came to war and if you declared war on another Catholic country the Pope could tell you to stop or to declare peace. To not do so was in danger of having all other Catholic nations declare war.
Not to mention the many saints you are required to pray to, Purgatory and praying for the dead, all of the rituals, services in Latin, worship of the virgin mother, the schism that split the church between two Popes who excommunicated each other, etc.
Protestantism did away with all of that. No single leader, the ability to create different sects that didn’t make you an apostate of the church, etc. Now don’t get me wrong even the same sect don’t always believe the exact same things and it can get pretty nit-picky, but Protestantisn can change with the times more easily than Catholicism can.
The goal was to make less of a ritual cult like Catholicism had become, and more of a focus on the meaning of the the actions of jesus, being able to actually get to heaven without all of the pomp and circumstance that really meant nothing, and all that crap.
The worry is the President would be more loyal to the other Catholics than the rest of the nation and would be bound by cult rules than the will of the people.
Ironically enough right now it’s the Catholic President trying to stop rights from being taken away while there are both Protestants and Catholics in the Supreme Court and other facets of the government that are working so hard to do the opposite.
Have you learned nothing from paywalled articles and blogs from 2002? You get them interested in what you have to say. Make them laugh. Compliment them. Put in a little work first.
By then you’ll both be so into it that nicely asking for what you want to do is a mere (but neccessary) formality (consent is always required – Ed.).
Then after a few paragraphs you whip out the unskippable popup and stop the fun until they show you the goods, and they’ll give up that fake email address you want so bad willingly.
You don’t go right for it right out of the gate and shoot your wad immediately. It’s a good way to make sure no wants to check you out again. It’s just bad form. People talk.
Nagware has been around since the 80s and it was just as annoying then even without this bloated corporate hellscape we call the internet 🙁
