I'm 6'4, 250 lbs. Canadian

I drive an 02 golf. Before this, a Toyota 4runner (1st gen).

I'm not trying to brag... But I think it's not a "I'm too big for anything smaller" it's a "I'm too insecure for anything smaller", aka "my dick is too small for anything smaller" syndrome.

I've recently made friends with a group of Germans who have come to Canada. I'm astonished by the practicality and industriousness I've noticed in contrast to the idiocy of most Canadians. I'm not saying you don't have any idiots in Germany. I'm just saying culturally, there seem to be some big differences.

Remember, don't let the dumbest of the world ruin your happiness.

Prost

6 months ago, it's "we want to scan all devices for CSA media", 2 months ago, "we want to scan all devices for DRM", now, "we want to scan all devices for phishing"

They're just rebranding the same thing over and over till nobody says anything... Get ready for it, guys, the end of privacy is here.

We were all thinking it, he just said it

Ex commercial (sourdough) Baker here. Cast iron will be handed down to your children's children.

What we used was basic (good quality) sheet metal bread pans. Avoid coatings, or anything fancy... Sure they may do something in the short term... But... Same with pyrex. They used to be good, but quality has gone way down in the past 20 years, and you have to be real careful with them, like they're made of glass or something ;)

This is one place, where possibly the cheapest option is what will win the day. Keep it simple silly :) don't overthinking it, get something, and get baking!

Something definitely seems to be going on right now.

It doesn't make sense that basically all social media platforms seem to be making absolutely horrid decisions right now, like, just downright stupid...

I'm starting to get portal 2 vibes here

I think it would be a good idea, not only would it show that you're not looking for his attention, it would set boundaries with your employer, where they may need to find ways to put you two far away from each other. Which would be healthy as well.

I understand I only have your side of the story... but I'm on your side. She cornered you, (probably because she had doubts about marrying this fellow) you told her what she needed to know, and he's being an asshole about it.

Do the right thing, go to HR

WAIT... I thought that was the well...

Have you ever tried Linux?

I feel like this is the new version of "bum fights"

If you're butthole squeaks... Please see a medical professional

Well, judging by your previous comment.

I essentially just thinking about what the intention is behind something. What are Facebook's intentions? Are they to connect you with your friends, and improve your life? No. Their intention is keep you stuck too their platform, and sharing marketable details of your life.

You walk onto a car lot. Is your first thought "hey, this guy is super friendly! He just wants to spend time with me" not, his intention is to get you into the most expensive car he can.

Does that make sense?

Good bot.

I can second this. I found their account closure process very aggressive, to the point where I would have to remind myself to sign in to keep my account open. Also the fact that tutanota only send emails between tutanota accounts, of its external, you have to share a key with each user, possibly for each different email.

End result is that my threat model is WAY below this, and their use model becomes a pain for me to use.

Their product seems stellar, branding is clean, and I've heard their service is great. If I was a journalist in Russia, reporting on government injustice, it would be my second choice... After proton.

Long Live proton!

If you start to build an "intention" mind set. This will make you successful in so many areas of life.

I'm in no means an expert here, but over the last 10 years or so, I've been trying to learn as much as I can. I am still in the boat of trying to find meaningful, impactful ways of explaining to people around me, why they should care about privacy.

Here's what I would challenge anyone who takes the time to read this to do. Choose a random user in this thread. Any one of them. Go to their profile page, and see what you can learn about that person based on comment/post history.

Did you get an idea of where in the world they live? The problems they're facing? The things they like? Now. Think like you were someone trying to harm/exploit them. Think of some products you could put in front of them that they could not live without.

Now we take that information, and start to put it together, we think, okay how do we manipulate this person into purchasing this thing.

Maybe we target a fake news article, stating "(target user's generation) choosing between paying rent and purchasing (target product)"

Now that person starts to think "whoa, in not the only one that's struggling with this decision, and others are choosing the purchase"

Now, maybe we target an influencer video to them, about how much better their lives are with that product.

Pretty soon, we put together a picture of how quickly and easily we could create an algorithm to manipulate someone into buying something that they would not have made the informed decision to buy. Now they value the product even if they can't afford it...

I'm literally realizing this as I'm typing it... And it kind of terrifies me.

All of this is completely ignoring the concern of government entities, with I'll intention, using the information against you...

This guy has a good financial planner.

I for one, will advocate for the separation of kernel and church.

That absolutely does. As much as I loved the ship one, and would love to find that one, I found the concept a very healthy way to wake up. Didn't panicked you, just got you up. Sorry, I may be living under a rock, is a one plus a phone? Or app?

This may sound dumb... An old Samsung phone I had years ago, came with alarms that gradually faded in. The most memorable, started with the ocean, and the seagulls... Then there was a fog horn in the distance. Slowly the horn got closer, and closer... Until it was all you could hear, and your alarm was going off.

I've looked everywhere for the sound file... It must be Locked away in a basement at Samsung somewhere.

One day I'll find it
