You don't have a skeleton inside you. You're a brain. You're inside a skeleton. You're piloting a meat powered bone mech.

that's a bold strategy coming from SatansMaggotyCumFart, Cotton, let's see if this works for them.

just under 50% of people voted in Ohio in the 2020 election.

Trump won by 8%.

If just 9% of the people who felt like you (what's the point of voting) had showed up to vote for Biden, that would have flipped the state.

No single raindrop believes it can make any difference. But together, all those insignificant raindrops can change the course of a river in a single day.

Part of being an academic is being available to discuss your publications. Your full name will not only be flying around the internet but recorded permanently in libraries and journals.

Science is about collaboration, and standing behind the work you do, publicly. You will find it extremely difficult or impossible to get your PhD without being known to the academic community.

I think you won't find many anonymous scientific papers held in high regard.

The idea with anti-fingerprinting is the idea that no matter who you are or what your setup is, the fingerprint is created, it matches many, many other browsers

Imagine a sea of people in Guy Fawkes masks.

If your fingerprint is unique, that means you can't be confused for someone else.

That is literally the opposite of anti-fingerprinting.

You want to look like 1000's of other people, so they can't prove it was you that visited a particular site and use that information against you.

If I'm calling it's an emergency or extremely time sensitive. Otherwise I text. I can understand when you don't want app or even text notifications. But understand and accept the risk that comes with it.

What pisses me right the fuck off is when I call, then call again, then text, then text again, and you, "mr/mrs im so important I can't be bothered by notifications" are somehow offended at me because you missed out on something because you didn't bother properly configuring two calls in a row from a known contact through your deny-by-default filter.

Those people, family or not, can fuck right off.

I don't like telemarketing or spam calls. But I also take responsibility and check if it's actually important. It's nbd to me to hang up on a spam call. And to be honest I have gotten a fair share of legitimate calls from numbers I don't recognize.

TL;DL Answer ya damn phone, you damn well know tiktok and insta still gonna be there 5 seconds from now

FPS are an adventure/puzzle game where the only solution is "USE GUN ON MAN"

BOFH: hooked up the mains to the doorknob and asked a luser to bring their laptop over for personal attention and repair.

Let's say there is a user lmicroservice. I'm on a UI team. I don't get to tell the user service team what, or when, to implement any features.

I'm tasked with making a page displaying all the users who have a birthday this month.

User API service can only search by user id, email, display name, or nickname.

Now instead of just querying the goddamn database, a one line fucking SQL statement, I have to deal with the user team, getting them to first off even admit that my use case is valid, convince them to work on the feature, coordinate with them to make sure the query works, sorts the data the way I need, etc, et. al, blah blah blah.

They already have the next 3 sprints full so I'm sitting on my ass for the next month before I can test.

Meanwhile they decide they're gonna implement a super generic thing, and so despite me working on code that we talked about using an interface we talked about, they implement something else so i have to throw out half my work anyway.

Then when I finally start using it I find, oh, it doesn't support a sort, only returns 100 results max with no pagination, so if there's 200 this month with a birthday fuck the 2nd hundred they don't show up because they're implementing bare minimum and the rest is slated for another sprint.

And it was then, your Honor, I grabbed the lead dev for the user microservice and tossed him off the 9th story of the building.
