So, based on your description and the pictures, here's my take:

Your family is unhygienic and gross. Water leaking from surfaces can pick up all sorts of gross stuff. Leaving food waste (I see banana peels I think?) out and exposed to open air leads to rotting and mold which can definitely make you sick. Used toilet paper with fecal matter on it left in an open trash can? HELLA gross.

BUT

Your reaction to this environment is going too far. Disinfecting your phone constantly? Concerns about people spitting in the trash? Not eating any leftovers or drinking from any container you didn't open yourself? These are going too far. As others have pointed out, some contact with germs is important to maintain a healthy immune system.

There's a middle-ground that both you AND your family are missing.

Wash your hands after using the bathroom and before eating, sure. Don't leave things that rot out in the open, of course.

Putting the garbage can next to the table while clearing it? Totally fine. Eating leftovers that have been refrigerated for a day? Totally fine.

I understand why you've developed hyper-vigilence living in that kind of environment. It makes sense. But I think you're probably overcompensating.

You might benefit from learning more about the human immune system, food safety, and other science-based topics. Did you know that urine, for example, is sterile? You can literally safely drink human urine (with some exceptions). Feces, on the other hand, is total opposite of sterile.

I'm sorry you have to live in such a gross environment. I hope you can find a way to convince your family to meet you in the middle.

I'm...uh.... pretty sure those numbers you provided are neither hundreds nor millions....? They're thousands?

I guess I could have said "possibly as many as tens of thousands of years"? 🤷‍♀️

Either way the point was the selective breeding, not the duration of time it took to achieve

they didn't say it was hypocritical, just empty criticism. They are implying that ml instances are no less egregious about the types of bad content they allow, even if the content itself is different

As an android ROM hacking and foss enthusiast, this meme is dumb as hell.

It's not called side-loading because it's not from the play store or whatever. it's called side loading because the installation is not triggered from within the on-board software.

If you're using Graphene OS and install software from F-Droid, that's not sideloading. If you take the Play Store version of an APK and install it via ADB from your PC such that it functions just like it was installed from the store, full authorization included, that IS sideloading.

Don't take the technical language we've been using for decades and reinterpret it to push some agenda in a meme.

Call the situation what it is: taking away product ownership rights.

Working stiff has enough saved up to lose his job and go back to college while still paying the bills. Truly an ancient premise.

Previous work on task initiation has implicated a neural circuit connecting two parts of the brain known as the ventral striatum and ventral pallidum

yes they did. Ctrl-F helps

EDIT: shame that 11 people upvoted this without verifying the accusation when it's so easy and even shows in the OP summary

The jewelry and investment industries make up 45-50% of gold consumption. Practical and industrial uses make up only 5-10%.

As such, while flooding the market with cheap gold would rapidly lower value, that's unlikely to be how the gold is sold. If the amount of gold being generated from fusion reactors is orders of magnitude less than the global consumption rate from jewelry and investment, which seems likely, and they are selling at our near market value rather than trying to undercut everyone, then the value of the generated gold would remain relatively stable.

in other words, considering that the gold market generates something like $350bn USD per year, and the total market value of "above ground" gold around $25tn USD, even if fusion reactors generate $1bn USD worth of gold it would have a negligible impact on the price of gold while providing significant value to the reactor operators (incentivizing the growth of the fusion reactor industry)

The unfortunate reality is that court costs are awarded after the fact and that means you have to be able to put up the money first. A company as large as Corsair will drag it out until any non-wealthy individual can't afford to pay their lawyers anymore and win by default. This is why hitting their bottom line is the only viable strategy these days

I mean, you're not wrong, but also, if my opponent brings a knife to a boxing match, I'm reaching for a knife, not standing on my pride as an ethical boxer, ya know?

This isn't far off from my position that I'll stop deadnaming Twitter when Elon stops deadnaming his kid

Obviously there are limits; if you can disarm a potential murderer then you do that instead of killing them. But I'm pretty sure this very obviously comical conversation between a father and child doesn't rise to that level of severity where it needs to be reigned in ;D

  • Trump admin sends national guard
  • State sues to stop the troops from being sent
  • Court grants a temporary block on sending troops pending a final determination
  • Trump admin asks 9th Circuit to intervene and block the ruling that prevented them from sending troops, arguing that they needed to send 25% of all Federal Protection Service agents to safeguard ICE, which left others vulnerable, and that the national guard deployment would alleviate that problem.
  • Based partially on this 25% stat, 9th Circuit agrees to block the lower court's temporary order preventing troops from being sent to Oregon. This did not stop the lawsuit, but did allow the troops to be sent while the lawsuit proceeded
  • Plaintiffs (state of Oregon) informed the 9th Circuit that the number of FPS agents sent at a single time was not 25% (actually closer to 7%), and requests that their decision be reversed. 9th Circuit reviews the situation and agrees, reinstating the temporary order that prevents the Trump admin from sending troops to Oregon

Contempt of court for failing to abide by the ruling. But of course that can be put off as it goes through appeals for a while.
