Yeah we’re in a thread with Joss Whedon, Cosby, and Elon. I know I’ve lost patience with people, I don’t think we need to go and lump something as small as this in with those assholes.

Honestly liked the Cosby show, and even his standup. Was very disappointed when I heard.

Same, I thought he was out to try and save the world from climate change. For me the illusion shattered when he tried to kill California HSR because he would make less in cars. It was never about the environment, it was about being “cool” and then cornering the market.

Everyone here saying confidently “no” hasn’t kept track of science over the last several thousand years. There have been hundreds/thousands of things that have been “that is impossible” that we simply didn’t have the knowledge for to be able to do.

200 years ago you would have been laughed at for thinking man could ever take to the skies, and now flying is a boring tedious thing for us.

75 years ago the idea of carrying a computer in your pocket with thousands of times the sum of the entire compute availability in the world back then would have been scoffed at, and people would have told you it’s impossible. Now we use it to post on forums like this like it’s nothing.

Both are examples of “it’s impossible, the science says so”, but that’s the neat thing about science. We learn new things every day. Our thoughts change, you don’t “believe” in science, you only learn new things.

So is it impossible? I think it’s incredibly small-minded and dare I even say arrogant to say it’s impossible. How do we know what will be discovered tomorrow, or 100 years from now, or 1000 years from now? We have absolutely no idea what will be possible then. With our current technology? Absolutely not. In 400 years? Who knows someone may be standing in line at security and see a meme making fun of us for thinking it was impossible.

I was a hardcore Thomas the tank engine nerd.

And Theodore Tugboat.

They have proven over and over that consumer brands aren’t anything to them. They constantly chase flashy buzzwords and quarterly earnings over improving and fixing their longstanding issues

Meanwhile clamping down on usage and pricing. Seems they’re speed running enshittification.

For me it was when I stopped going to church. I didn’t go to Easter service, a very important date to our church, and it caused massive backlash. My mother stayed in bed and cried all day, cancelled all of the dinner plans we had that evening, and told family not to come visit. I eventually went and bought fast food for my brother because she refused to do anything for us that day. It took a very long time for her to get over that one.

Don’t worry I got your back. I haaaaaate working out. Every second of it. It’s miserable, boring, tiring, and gross and sweaty.

However, since I started doing it I hate to admit that I am more energetic in everything else, I move easier, I’m not winded going up stairs, I’m happier, all the tripe they tell you is true.

It’s not 30 minutes because you have to enjoy it, it’s 30 minutes that improve the other 23.5 hours a day

The fact that it’s only swarming, all agile workers know that swarming means for a week or two. This is just to shut people up

2 big things for me.

First is that everyone, and I mean absolutely everyone has something they want to hide. People assume “I’m not a violent person or a criminal” except yes you are, and you’ve done something. A great example is everyone in the US speeds, absolutely everyone. Does that mean you want every office to know every instance of you speeding if you get pulled over? So, yes everyone has something they’d rather not say.

Second is more of an example of you should be allowed to go places without everyone knowing. The example was about 5 years ago police used location data to find a person who broke into someone’s home. Problem is that the location data they used returned one person who happened to be on that street around the same time. They were riding their bike down the street. To the police they had the person there, they had proof, it was good enough. Except it wasn’t, and he obviously wasn’t the person they were looking for. Location data put him there though, and sold him out. So maybe not the best thing for whoever to know exactly where you are at any given time.

As for encryption, ask him for his porn history. If he gets upset, just say “why it’s not illegal”

but, I agree with the other person. If you’re dad is like mine and countless others, you’re not fighting against him but propaganda. If that’s the case, you aren’t going to win this. The only winning is turning off the source.

Apparently a 1% of uptick in Linux users got their attention

That is … fair lol

Nope, that’s separate from this. This specific disease and the reporting around it is pure fear mongering in my book. CDC issues are there, they are real. This entire article is just for pure panic.

Didn’t say it wasn’t, said that it’s transmitted through urine and saliva, there are some cases, and the article you posted said:

a total of 196 people were identified as contacts of the infected patients and were traced, monitored and tested, according to the Indian health ministry. All were found to be asymptomatic and tested negative for the virus, the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

This is fear mongering. It’s well contained, it’s largest jump is if you are actively touching bats, or sharing bodily fluids with someone else. Neither article mentioned passing it via the air.

What in the fear mongering shit is this?

6 paragraphs of dear god doomerism everything is terrifying.

Then there are some cases.

Then at the end that it’s transmitted through urine and saliva.

Jfc huge downvote for doomerism bait.

Literally who is their target market at this point.

Is it left leaning liberals who want an ev? Because musk ruined that

Is it right wing truck drivers? Because they made so much oil propaganda that they think an ev will only make it 4 miles before needing a charge and that only pussies drive them.

Is it the average consumer? Because there are many other better evs on the market now.

Think of the leaderboards!

Think of the metrics! distribution by hour, day of week, month, times per day/ week/ month, holidays, workday, weekends, etc etc.
