My goto response when someone says “I have nothing to hide” is to ask them to hand me their phone unlocked so that I can go through their messages, pictures and financial stuff.

This usually does the trick of reminding them that you do have things to hide.

Not an American. But I’ve heard the same explanation. And it does make sense to me.

However, why do Americans say “Fourth of July” then?

Article got removed ?

This is a shit post now ?

Media headlines that use the word lobbying probably do it so that people don’t take up arms. If they were to instead call it bribery, I think a lot more people would take issue with the whole process.

It has not been peer reviewed.

I could make a paper in 5 minutes about how AI can be used to uniquely identify people by smelling their farts. Doesn’t mean anything unless it’s been peer reviewed.

Until this paper has been peer reviewed, I give it as much credit as I give a flat earth conspiracy person.

I had it recommended to me by a colleague. And I’ve gotta say, it’s fantastic.

Some nitpicks (when it comes to curved screens) , but otherwise it’s pretty much flawless.

Yes honey, I’m almost there.

What an absolutely braindead comment.

Loudermilk had an episode on this.

Oh we know. We just don’t care.

If your first response to a valid point is to attack the other person, then you’re worse than anything inbreeding might produce.

And you’re saying that shouldn’t be the case right ? Right ?

I’d insert that Anakin Padme meme here if I had one ready.

By that logic, nothing is a human right since you can find food, water and shelter in the wild.

The problem with that logic is that you assume everyone to be physically able and knowledgeable to live off the land.

That’s exactly my point as well. I’ve got a pair of shoes that I got for $40 around 5 years ago and I still wear them everywhere.

I’m lucky in the sense that I’m bang on average. So most off-the-shelf stuff fits me good enough.

My point was about myself actually. I didn’t mean to generalize to any group as much.

Also, I do agree that super cheap t-shirts don’t really last very long. And my point wasn’t that I’d buy t-shirts only if they’re under $5. But rather that “I’m not spending more than $50 on a t-shirt”.

I’ll go with shoes and clothes (not the work kind)

That does not mean that I’m going out to buy the cheapest I can find. I just mean to say that I don’t buy expensive ones.

And my definition of expensive is $100+ I always make sure to not spend more than $50 on a shoe or any item of clothing (shirts, t-shirts, shorts, jeans)
