How can you be forced to input a pattern/PIN?

Ignoring your source of, “trust me bro,” a huge number of actual Americans in America think things are normal. How does that relate to interest rates?

oof

Nintendo Power would disagree

It’s a cute little comic about how people feel on first dates and how crazy dogs look drinking from a hose.

You come off as someone who has no personality if they’re not talking down to others.

Jesus Christ this thread is full of people who don’t realize they’re the judging hipster in the post.

Ubuntu isn’t the entry level distro that you move on from once you’ve gotten your feet wet, and your not very subtle pats on your own backs for using something different aren’t earned.

Does it do everything the user needs from it? If so, don’t tell them that they need to “graduate” to a “better” flavor.

Or Ubuntu could perform every task they need it to and never switch to anything else.

Braver than most western journalists, who regurgitate the corporatocracies narrative and manufacture consent on their behalf.

True

Hopefully she’s given a good job and granted asylum somewhere in the west ASAP, so she can go on with her life.

What?

Not everyone of course but there’s way too many people over there who will justify anything the Chinese government does or just ignore criticism by saying, “what about what the US does?!!?!”

How they cannot understand that the US and China are both dystopian hellscapes is embarrassing.

There are very little, if any, benefits to using a VPN service to browse the public internet.

This is why it’s often best to just avoid the comments completely

It would take a super genius to understand that they’re either a non-native English speaker or made a simple typo/autocorrect issue. Also, since it’s completely impossible to even guess at the point they’re trying to make through the context of every other word in their comment we all owe you a debt of gratitude for calling this out!

Thank you, [email protected], for adding something incredibly meaningful to the conversation and the world as a whole!

Oh no… I just saw this comment in a different thread from 2 hours ago, and it MAKES NO SENSE:

Doctors today face a demand form their services that, while we can’t guarantee will get them.jigher wages, can give them more leeway against unwritten political rules of speech.

What is a doctor’s “demand form?” And “them.jigher” isn’t a term I could find anywhere on the internet! I don’t understand what the author, [email protected], was trying to say! It’s all just gibberish!

I feel good calling it out though. I’m sure that [email protected] will be grateful for my much-needed help and not think I’m a dick for detracting from their point to assert my knowledge of English grammar over them.

Neat, there’s a second epilogue update in the game that I can’t get past the second level.

That’s 86 F for all you freedom lovers, or the front seat temperature of a Ford F150 with 312 fresh Big Macs in the extended cab.

It’s true, I spent way too long replying. I usually avoid engaging but I think it was the absurdity that made me throw away what had to be at least a combined hour of my day. They knew the true nature of the universe and tried to convince an atheism group.

It was obvious pretty quickly that they weren’t in a place where they could accept their belief being challenged, but maybe a really bored person read it all and took something away from it.

Stay in school, kid.

On the contrary, if another pandemic killed a bunch of people, many of their homes would be bought up by the same hungry corporations that created and perpetuate the housing crisis.

I get that you feel like you have to “win” and that since facts and logic aren’t on your side you want me to feel upset which would give you some sort of moral victory. You try and change the topic away from you claiming your own god (predestination) in response to an atheism comic no less, to debating my mental health which could put me on the defensive and begin to get under my skin like I have to you.

It doesn’t work when you’re so transparent though. And even if it had, you’d still walk away knowing that some stranger poked a few holes in the latest belief structure that you were trying to use to make sense of your reality. That would be a fun challenge to an intellectual but just sucks for someone like yourself who wants to be right and feel smug.

There’s hope though. You don’t have to stay like this. As you get older and mature, your awareness can help you to become someone who’s interested in learning instead of being right. Then you could grow into a real intellectual thinker instead of cosplaying one.

If you were able to take in anything I’ve said you wouldn’t have asked that, though you’ve made it abundantly clear that you don’t currently value the process of learning. I’ve never cast judgement on the theory you’ve chosen to call The Truth. Through everything I’ve said, you either refuse or can’t understand what I’ve clearly laid out. Your issue is blind acceptance of something you heard. Your arrogance and lack of actual knowledge told you that it sounds neat and makes sense at 30,000 feet so it’s Truth.

You go for personal attacks because you have nothing of value to retort or add. Your Knowledge was challenged and you reacted with anger and name calling because you can’t reasonably address anything I’ve said.

You and religious people have a lot more in common than you think. You all believe that you’ve found The Truth. Whether it’s Jesus or some theory you actually know practically nothing about, you’re drunk on feeling superior and think you comprehend the very nature of existence. There’s no real difference between you and any religious person because there’s as much hard evidence for one belief as the other. You believe there’s a difference because you chose to go all in on a theory as opposed to a god, and that makes you feel smug.

You’re a kid who doesn’t know much about anything, and you think you’ve got existence figured out. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad and common.

Hopefully you’ll grow out of this but there’s plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest that may not be the case.
