Send a bomb threat from all major mail-providers any% speedrun anyone?

Seriously, as if no one ever send a threat from a throwaway Gmail account. The bullshit governments come up with to dismantle privacy...

UnfortunateShort ,

I recently did just that, even via VPN. They simply didn't ask me to. Maybe a regional thing?

UnfortunateShort ,

This has gotta be the meme that best sums up the situation lmao

UnfortunateShort ,

If nostalgia ever kicks in, German is my first language :P

UnfortunateShort ,

That and that painted nails can look good on anyone

UnfortunateShort ,

First came programmer socks, then Rust was invented, and now (fe)men are taking matters into their own hands, correcting the gender gap in IT themselves. What's not to understand here?

Seriously tho, I don't think it's against anyone. It's just a meme, probably originating from a high share of queer people in the IT domain and the rising popularity of anime and manga culture, where femboys are sometimes idealised.

I'm a pansexual protestant Christian skepticist, who has not once tried to convert anyone and votes for far left parties. Please enlighten me how I'm inherently ignorant and taking your freedom.

UnfortunateShort ,

I think you understand neither what a skepticist is, nor how religion or free churches work. And by your logic I assume you have to be an anarchist, since every government that ever existed - or society for that matter - has exercised some form of suppression.

I think your overgeneralizing, intollerant way of thinking is sickening and hardly better than that of a racist or sexist.

And please don't tell me what my beliefs are. That's pretty church-y of you.

UnfortunateShort ,

Well you're wrong in both, but I am curious why you would think that.

You claim I believe in an almighty being, yet this is a key point where a skepticist might disagree with your average Christian. Moreover you claim I am supporting oppression, yet you don't even have the slightest idea what church I'm in and what they do or ever did. So you seem to have either huge misconceptions or you are prejudiced to a point where you are dismissive of anything that doesn't fit your narrative.

I'm a pansexual protestant Christian

Are you kidding me? You told about your beliefs yourself.

This just shows how you don't view Christians as individuals at all. Claiming to know exactly what I believe in based on that sole statement is exactly as silly as me claiming: 'I know what you believe, because your are an atheist.' Acting like you know a strangers beliefs for certain is arrogant to say the least.

Care to explain what that has to do with anything I said in this thread?

Well, you judge churches based on the fact that some where oppressive in the past (and yes, I know some are still today). Based on that you either have to hate pretty much all governments, since it obviously doesn't matter whether anything have changed, or you have double standards.

And I think you resort to personal insults because you have no valid arguments against my positions.

If you feel attacked by me calling out your intolerant and overgeneralizing way of thinking, that's just because you are unable to defend yourself against a fact. Your words leave no other conclusion than that your are extremely prejudiced against Christians. You might have expressed yourself badly once, but you doubled down on your hate and ignorance. You might have good reasons for it, but would you excuse someone being racist for having had bad encounters with an ethnic group? Just as you probably wouldn't, neither do I excuse your statements about Christians.

    I have a Pixel and they have quite a bit of stuff where you need to opt in. Actually, surprisingly much stuff where they very explicitly state it's kept completely on-device, so I assume this is one of those. As other people pointed out, the GDPR fines would be waiting just around the corner.

    I think I actually got the advanced suggestions already, but not the stuff regarding tone and context

    UnfortunateShort ,

    I swear some people go out of their way to judge others for the most ridiculous things. Maybe try asking yourself why you are not happy about people finding love without going through half a dozen shitty relationships.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Tbf there are plenty CEOs who care for their company and their employees. It just so happens that investors don't appreciate that

    UnfortunateShort ,

    You can be a CEO even in a communism. It's literally just a job.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    That's not true, think of all the small to medium businesses there are. All of them got "CEOs" or whatever you want to call them and in many cases they do regular work besides leading the company.

    I know a quite a few people who are very happy in their respective companies. Heck, I'm employed in the perfect template of a bureaucratic, capitalist megacorp and our CEOs shield us from a lot of bullshit of the group we belong to.

    I think "CEOs = bad" is oversimplifying a lot. We just don't hear about the good ones, because ragebait sells and capitalist media is something actually fucked up at this point

    UnfortunateShort ,

    I have a wallet that's supposedly shielded and it turned out to be useless. Then I got a jammer card as a marketing gimmick. It doesn't just shield, it creates interferences. The stronger the EM field the better, to some degree. It actually works flawlessly. At least with my smartphone I can't read any NFC chip near that card.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Why people no buy our GPU anymore?

    Because I can get a whole fucking console for the price of a lower midrange GPU. My only hope is Intel's Battlemage at this point.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    I have an all-AMD system, but they have become too expensive as well. Just Nvidia with a 20% discount, safe for the 7900 XTX which is completely out of question for me to begin with.

    Afaik there are none, but I don't really get why I should use these services anyway. Pulling out my phone is only marginally faster than just using a card directly. They do improve security, kinda like a real life PayPal they prevent others from getting your card on file, but it's not worth the cost in privacy imo. That's part of the reason I use a credit card in the first place: Credit companies act as a proxy between you and your bank account and they offer some fraud protection.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Jokes on you, I don't

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Ok, after I reading the one in my mother tongue, I can identify pretty much every word in every other language almost instantly. Interesting to think that it could be so easy to learn them and still I very likely won't :D

    UnfortunateShort ,

    For real tho, I'm not paying Netflix money for a single damn news outlet. The prices are absurd.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    The documentary host went on:

    After hearing about their "totally riced" setup for hours, the exhausted predator dies a painless death in the icy waters. A mercy the breedable Rust peers of the Arch user, drunk on their freshly claimed victory, will not share. Already displaying socks as part of their mating ritual, no baby-faced creature that knows its way around a terminal is safe. They are not taken by force however. Rather they freeze, smitten by the confidence the incredibly annoying apex predator radiates. Feeling used, but also strangely satisfied, the confused boy is left wondering why they aren't using Arch, when Wiki and the AUR are so incredibly useful. Maybe it's that symbiosis that keeps them together: Curiosity, Fear and the common Arch user's incredible displays of power.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    While that's a great answer, it's still extremely disappointing... A million is a rounding error for Apple.
