I just realised the concept of looking at boobies in a book with extra long pages must be pretty foreign to anyone born after 2000s.

I could move to Signal, open up a chat with myself and chat for a while but I think it would get pretty boring pretty soon.

I wouldn’t imagine that OP meant the question as Snowden being permanently labeled a hero for all of his life actions, nor should anyone ever be labeled as such. We are judging a specific action he took many years ago and also in a context of people generally labeling his action as good or bad since then. We are also not talking about comic book characters that are consistently one way or another through all of their actions. We can agree that a convicted felon can be heroic and a puppy loving doctor can do villainous shit as well depending on circumstance, opportunity and personal moral beliefs.

But for this specific action of exposing a terrible truth and essentially losing his way of life and being forced to live as a refugee, I don’t think we should get into the pendatry of what a hero in theory is or if his action led to any actual change. Being suppressed by forces with way more weight than you doesn’t eliminate whatever label your actions deserve.

I think you are being pedantic. If you went in risking your life to rescue a puppy from a burning house but the puppy doesn’t make it because of the fumes or you jump on a robber but he kills and leaves with the money anyway, do you stop being a hero because you failed to enact change? That’s ridiculous.

I have seen only one implementation of this that I like so far, in Decathlon. You dump your shopping basket in the machine’s basket, you don’t even have to know what is in there and the machine automatically picks everything up by their nfc tags. It has never failed for me and you don’t need to search for any tags or barcodes. You pay, you can pick up all yours stuff and dump it in your bag and you are ready to go.

The polar opposite experience is the one you describe and for those shops I avoid the machines if I can.

Doesn’t the UK have similar rules? Many other european countries already have the kind of rules Mexico is implementing.

It’s true that there’s a lot of AAA slop out there, but my all time favorite games have all been AAA in their time. Cyberpunk can still push my PC to its limits to this day.

For people like me we live in depressing times, although technically there’s no current game I am interested in that is beyond my PC’s capabilities. Good thing past me thought 32GB is a good addition in the before times when it only cost as much as a fancy meal.

He repeats information constantly. Any time I watched one of his videos I couldn’t stop thinking how it could be cut to a third of the length without losing anything important. For my attention span it’s unwatchable.

I have been stopped while doing something illegal that was a minor infraction, but still caught red handed, could have easily been fined, but was let go with a verbal promise to do better and the whole interaction was very civil. Also a few months ago the police recovered stolen items and managed to detective their way to me to return them as well as caught the bastards that did it. The whole process was honestly impressive and the cops I dealt with were just awesome. My interaction with police throughout my life has been at worst neutral but mostly positive. In Europe ACAB is bullshit as far as I’m concerned and anyone who uses it here is memeing after the Americans where it sounds like it’s 100% applicable.

I’ve never seen any european police respond to anonymous tips with 20 police cars, SWAT equivalent units or even guns drawn for that matter.

This is my Roman Empire. When I find out people live with their shoes in the house I don’t want to visit them again. Your willingness to drag the outside fecal matter on the floors of your supposedly clean house is a huge red flag about you as a person for me.

That’s what house slippers, thick socks and some good rugs are for. Even if somehow you have a special pair of shoes that you only wear inside and never outside for the obvious hygiene reasons, they are probably bad for your feet compared to walking barefoot.

There are 6 monarchies in the EU out of 27 member states. Stop lying.

Feels like you are responding to a discussion about a much deeper topic. When one doesn’t know what a word means, it doesn’t mean they need to go down a rabbit hole or make a whole research paper about it. A quick definition or wiki search is much quicker than writing the question on a forum.

Would it really be a contribution from me and an opportunity for you to elaborate from your point of view if I asked right now what’s reddit? I don’t see it.

And all that for just 1.5 hours of runtime.

This isn’t fresh news anymore and they are not lying

Imo if leaving from windows, Linux is easier to use than macos these days, simply because Linux has improved so much recently and the design paradigm is more similar to windows.

Macos has some weird ass UX sometimes like the ridiculous alt-tab equivalent or the switch around of all common keyboard shortcuts.

How does someone seek royalties on an open, royalty-free video coding format?

I don’t think it’s black and white so I’m not hating, but the cultures I mentioned are already some of the poorest in the world so the cost shouldn’t be a factor. It definitely requires huge adjustments in thinking and approach to food. I know it took me something like three years to be fully comfortable with eating 99% plant based. Like I said, if you’re serious about it, I think you can do it.

Are you adding to the meme excuses or genuinely think this is a good excuse? Because I have two answers depending on your intention.

Option 1: good one.

Option 2: Do you live in the Arctic or somewhere where plants don’t grow? No vegan who’s serious about this has ever starved. There are entire cultures and religions that are plant based and their choice of food has never starved them.
