His shoe came off. By the laws of the land, he clearly died from this dangerous stunt. Be safe out there guys!

#FriendsDon’tYankFriendsToDeath

Sci fi or not, I kinda want them to get this one figured out ahead of time. It is kinda like assuming that a convicted felon could never be President. You wouldn’t think that rule would need to exist because come on, how could a country possibly want to elect a convicted felon? Its a completely ridiculous notion that could absolutely never happen.

There is a common circle jerk for sure. Humans gonna human, it happens everywhere. However the question was honest if a bit rude sounding.

It isn’t really about edginess. People tend to continue believing in whatever religious preference (or none) they have unless something convinces them otherwise in whatever direction.

To an atheist’s point of view, it legitimately doesn’t make sense why someone would be religious when what they see is nonsense. It is a genuine confusion and not necessarily meant to be rude.

This isn’t just an atheist thing that happens, religious people can often not understand why someone would ever choose anything other than their religion. It doesn’t make sense to them either.

Those smiley fucks have got it coming, I swaer.

Achievement Unlocked: Mention Linux in a computer related thread!

100% of tech related posts have this achievement.

(Relax comrades, I too am a Linux disciple.)

They do be looking pretty tasty right about now.

Let me clarify, legally speaking you do, but I am not arguing that. Practically speaking, that device can become fort Knox with a properly configured phone. Use a custom android ROM like grapheneOS and not use any services that can/will give you access to the content on your phone and that phone is practically useless to them. Even with a warrant, you aren’t beating today’s privacy and security practices without a major security flaw. If a person doesn’t want you to know what they have, they don’t have to give you anything.

Will their be consequences? Probably, but that may or may not be worth it to you if you are a privacy activist who doesn’t want to be incriminated on a legally but not moral basis. Or you could be a criminal with something you really want to hide. Doesn’t really matter in the end.

Psychologically, the best chance they have is convincing you to unlock it. However, a privacy focused user that takes the initiave to use a custom rom like grapheneOS and not use any services that will compromise your data if requested might as well not have their phone exist at all. If they don’t want you in, you are not getting in.

They can sure try, but at no point do you have to make it easy for them.

I mean, they can’t force you to give up something you know if really don’t want to. Torture tends to be frowned upon in government.

As soon as they came out with scale, I knew core was going to be cut off when scale got good enough. There are just more possibilities with what you can do with Linux. The extra community support can not be understated as valuable to a profit driven company. At the end of the day, they gotta eat too and having one base system instead of two is the way they need to do it. The features are growing much faster on scale than they ever were on core in my opinion.

That’s pretty neat. Fun is a great way to learn new things.

Hello again, I wanted to run an idea by you as you have great advice if you are willing.

I would like to ask her out at some point but have learned that she has been asked yet again by another coworker. I am starting to think me asking would be a bad idea just continuing the chain. So I am proposing a sillier idea.

Instead of me asking her out one of the times I am hanging out with her. I say I am interested but I am not going to ask her. If she is interested she needs to ask ME out. “Girl, you asked for my number. If want to go out, then I need flowers, dinner, the whole 9 yards! I expect to be swept off my feet!” Putting the ball back in her field.

I would like to think a humorous exchange would help relieve any awkwardness but I wanted another opinion.

Looks like you were right, she definitely feels frustrated about being doubted and made to feel stupid. Hasn’t given specifics yet, but I am sure I can get her talking at some point. She said she appreciates being able to bounce ideas off of me without worrying about the above. Good start I would say.

If this shit is what women have to deal with constantly, I am not surprised there are so few of them in my field. Why can’t we all just get along?

They are implying Carlson works for Russia and they have canceled remote work so he has to come work at his place of employment in Russia.

I would like to say you have been very helpful and I think have settled on taking your advice. No matter how this ends, I could still end up with a good friend. I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t be a bit disappointed though. However, that’s life and she has no obligation to me.

Also I have no idea who the guy was or what role he played to her. I assumed it was a lower level employee but you bring up a good point there.

She was working on some self assigned homework. So it was not work related.

1. She is in a higher position than I am, I just have a skillset she doesn’t.

2. As far as I know, that is not the case.

I already got together with her outside of work on non-related work tasks.

Yeah, if I had to guess, she is currently trying to figure out what she wants. Or I could be completely wrong and the girl is just hungry for Linux knowledge. Which is also great because we need more of those kind of people.
