Wifi sognals can read my heart rate, and be used to track me around my house. But I still can’t get a signal in my room one floor up from the router.

TIL there are places in the world where you cant just uninstall edge.

It’s a cult.

I know what you are saying, and i agree, except i don’t think the root of the problem is addressed. Those crazy people shouldn’t have access to guns.

Of course they are. They are a literal data farm. People need to stop using it.

A fair point. The rule is more to not keep secrets from eachother. This post was more about the distiction between secrets and surprises, and not really focused on the moral considerations or other nuances.

What do you mean? How am i giving him a reason to lie by helping him understand that secrets are bad.

Not sure you get it. But i feels intentional.

I am not saying secrets are kept but that we as a family do not.

You really don’t get it?

She wasn’t forced to flash her breasts. (I mean wrong choice of words as flash implies nudity, which isn’t what happened). she was forced to have someone berate her because they thought she was a man. What right did that server have to follow someone into a bathroom and declare they are a man and need to leave? What proof did the server have?

The bottom line is you are the one sexualising this. She didnt flash, she unzipped her hoodie to show that there were breasts under her shirt. The issue is she shouldnt have to have done that to get that server to leave her alone. What alternative did she have? And dont say she could leave because thats bullshit. She doesn’t have to leave. The server needed to leave.

What would you have done to make the server leave you alone? Short of proving your gender

I expect i will crumple at that point. But i hope i set him up with the tools he needs to navigate that part of life. And hopefully he feels close enough with me to come to me for help.

An encrypted proxy. Thats a pretty hefty distinction.

They couldn’t switch off VPNs for businesses. I work in a hospital and we use VPNs to create secure tunnels to other third party health care companies as well as NHS adjacent health services amongst other things. This is to protect patient sensitive data amongst other things. This would cripple our service and go against NHS england and government requirements for the secure transfer and sharing of data.

This would have to be public VPNs only. Despite the fact that it would be complete bullshit either way.

My 5 year old son does have access to an android tablet, but i restrict, selectively, what he can do on it and time limit his usage so it locks down after a few hours. I curate his youtube and frequently spend time watching kids content to decide if i want him watching it. If its good and educational i will share it to his kids youtube account. He cant browse the web, he cant buy things on the play stores. He has to get me to approve any app install and i will always install first and play to ensure it safe.

Its hard work, but its worth it to protect him online. And this has lead to it just being another one of his toys, it doesnt absorb his whole existence. He can take it or leave it. Which i am chuffed about.

When he is older and i can help him understand for himself how to be safe, i will help him however i can. Rather than restric, i will help him understand what the internet is, the good the bad and the ugly.

Funny month names are all well and good, but the only ones you can actually spell here are:

January, March, May, September, November, and December.

Otherwise, it’s

Febranuary, Japril, Juney, Julyber, Maugust, and Moctober

Ah, to be clear, i am not saying the workforce deserves the death sentence. Absolutely not. But i do think that ceos of companies that consistently make decisions tbat harm and cause the death of millions of people deserve a harsh form of punishment. And whilst i wouldn’t personally say that it should be death, i also dont have a problem with someone else believing and acting upon that belief. I would have more reservations on the type of punishment, but i dont think a more pragmatic approach is necessarily the wrong approach.

I dont think you should be forced to sell it. But it does defeat the purpose of making a new medicine. Like who is it for, if not the general public? But in terms of costs, that’s not a fair argument because the US pays significantly more for the majority of drugs due to lack of government regulation and insurance companies’ negotiating prices.

I dont think i can agree about your assessment of the cliff problem. I accept that you are not to blame for the situation, but given that you are now the only person who can help them, does that not create an obligation for you to act? If you then choose not to help, you are condemning them to death.

The judge passes the sentence but does not swing the axe. Is he less culpable than the executioner?

Would you also argue that since the judge passed the sentence, that the executioner is not also reaponsible for the murder, despite carrying out the sentence?

I think there are distinct parallels here.

Insurance companies who deny healthcare for arbitrary reasons should be held accountable for that. And i personally believe that even the workforce should be held to some account. I know jobs are hard to come by, but your own moral compass must be faulty if you opt to work for a company whose sole purpose seems to be harming people who need help.

Agree with your last point. Private for-profit companies should have no place in healthcare.

You think that not helping someone up who is clinging onto the edge of a cliff, about to fall and die, is not as bad as pushing them off?

Sure, its not my fault that they are holding on, about to fall. I didn’t put them in that situation. But here i am, fully able to save them, nobody else around to do it instead of me. Do you think that i am less guilty of killing them if i refuse to help them?

Heck, they are even paying me money every month to ensure i dont fall off cliffs. They will even have to pay some of the money it costs me to pull them up from the edge.

Think about what you are saying mate… thats fucking ridiculous.

I dont need to state my opinion of asmongold on here.

Everyone else has done that for me.
