You can still find the mind enriching parts if you look. It’s a neutral communication medium at this point, the barriers to entry just don’t really exist anymore. People use it how they will. Dumb people will use it in dumb ways. 50% of people are dumber than the average person. That’s a lot of people.
In Oracle you’d just set up a user that has limited access and give them those credentials. Creating a few views that pulls in the data they want is a bonus.
it makes sense but the comic is slightly confusing because I think the character should be smiling in the last frame, as if thinking, hey they didn’t lie, it really doesn’t use cookies
Clothing stores are the worst. I love responding to “what’s your phone number?” With “no thank you”.
As we both know, the 1918 Spanish flu was unusually virulent, and back then we had no vaccines. Comparing to that flu would not give us useful data. It would be misleading. As you know, I meant today’s flu.
How are their symptoms though? Not bad right? By saying COVID is over I mean the more dangerous forms of it from 2020 and 2021 are gone. It’s barely worse than the flu at this point. I’m not saying people aren’t still getting it. It’s just mostly inconsequential.
That seems like a separate issue. I acknowledge your dread. It is important and should be addressed appropriately. I just don’t think the actual threat that COVID currently poses warrants such dread. You should be more afraid of heart disease, or car accidents, or something like that. Those things kill more people than COVID. Especially in 2023. It’s barely worse than the flu now. I was afraid of 2020 COVID. It’s not the same disease as it was then though.
Opinion: unless you or a loved on has some kind of immune system issue, COVID is pretty much over.
My town actually has a square. It’s nice to have.
Dude even stuff like bowling is too much now. An hour for two people can approach $70 at certain places. Not the bougie places either, those places are even more. I was browsing Google reviews for one place nearby like that and the owner responded saying that they should look for a Groupon.
It’s been years since I dual booted. If you want Windows to be default I’m struggling to think of what could be gained by dual booting over just running your Linux system in a vm in Windows.
I think people who would say that might recognize Nirvana as more of a gen z fashion brand than an actual band. Like they know it’s a band but the first assumption is that’s not the driver of anyone’s interest in it.
I think I’m a pretty normal person. Unremarkable.
Actually you’re right, it’s that person’s prerogative to try to make themselves as comfortable as possible with the resources they’ve been given. They shouldn’t care about my comfort just as I do not care about theirs.
Perhaps your tastes have changed. I’m sure there must still be a game out there for you.
Reclining certainly does make my experience better.
I refuse to accept responsibility for the consequences of a scenario that I didn’t create.
Ideally the airline should simply make it so that the seats can’t recline.
If we acquiesce and make up for the airline’s failures by taking matters into our own hands, that just enables the airline to continue to not fix the issue. It’s the same thing as tipping at restaurants. We have to tip because the staff don’t get paid enough otherwise. The restaurant is passing off their shortcomings to the customers. The system only works because we agree to participate in it.
I’ve found that people who worry that they have bad handwriting typically have very good, legible handwriting. This is true with a lot of things actually. If you care about it, chances are you’re above average already. It’s only people who don’t care and thus you don’t hear from at all about it who are truly bad at something.
