Good ol’ hawk tuah on that thang

Being Mormon.

They always told us that people who gave us anti-mormon literature just made stuff up and it was Satan’s way of tempting us. They said to never take any anti-mormon literature and if someone did give it to you then to throw it away without reading.

But at the same time they taught us that the Mormon church was the true church. And they also taught us truth was absolute. Well, i figured if truth is absolute, and if the church was THE true church then it would be able to withstand any criticism. So i read anti mormon literature, like the CES letter. From there i did my own research about various things and found that the Mormon church made up a lot of stuff and did lots of gaslighting.

There was some specific issues that i also had been struggling with, like their treatment of women, gays, and black men/women. That also helped push me to want to make sure if the Mormon church was really true. And it wasn’t. Now i can love my friends unconditionally.

Not everyone has the luxury of choosing where they work. People need to eat. Are some people complacent? Sure. But that doesnt mean every person working at Microsoft is a horrible person.

I’m forgetting the episode but darknet diaries podcast had one where a guy took revenge against a former employer and wiped out an entire schools email system and wiped all phones that has logged into the school email. This was done from compromising the school’s outlook admin account.

That was the first time i learned that logging into the employer email could give them the level of control over your device. Fortunately i never have done that for the #2 reason.

Agree. I had that much garlic last night

I only skimmed it but didn’t see this: part of the issue was that forums were prone to be shut down completely, or lose user data when migrating to a different forum system. It made it hard for you to have a repository of knowledge on a topic/ hobby when it could just disappear. Reddit/ Facebook/ discord promised an easier way for organizers to set up their communities, and community members had more trust that these new communities weren’t going to go anywhere.

They asked for a DRM-free ebook. Of course a physical book lacks digital rights management.

Let me get this straight, CBS is refusing to fact check the VP nominee who, on TV, admitted that if he has to make up lies to get America’s attention then he’d do just that?

Eat shit CBS

Agree or delete account is real “good guy gabe” energy.

What a fucking trash monopoly

Same, I’m now going to try to kill a PC with disintegrate just for the occasion!

I just returned it, but my idea was a separate VLAN and block all connections except for whitelisted ones for streaming. Smart tvs/rokus/etc do a lot of talking and they could theoretically brick themselves if there isn’t an internet connection available.

The future is a wonderful place!

Last tv i bought wouldn’t let you set it up without connecting to the internet. Guess we’ll need open hardware tvs next if they don’t aleady exist

Like $20 for the first 90 minutes. Makes it very affordable to not own a truck for the few times a year you might need to haul something home

I think in the context of the OP, not all donations have strings attached in the sense of trying to exert control. Maybe smelting orphans is undesirable but for donations previously received there’s nothing the donor can do about that other. And picking and choosing who you donate to isn’t a form of exerting control either.

Whereas large university donations do usually have agreements signed that could drastically change school policy. These are “donations” to exert control in some form or another

Mid threesome i had an idea for a position to try. Well, that idea got me a penile fracture. 0/10 would not recommend

The difference is 40 years ago when i lacked better judgement, i didn’t do things that were condemnable and they still aren’t to this day.

These kids have done something current date that is condemnable. Maybe they just weren’t raised right and can turn their lives around but it’s not quite the same situation. What they did will always have been bad at the time they did it.

That’s fair i guess. I did some stupid shit as a kid but I’m also a completely different person than 40 years ago. Otoh i never did anything quite like this. Id hope their eyebrows burn off from the backlash and they learn at least.

I hope someone puts this on a static website with their names so future employers can find it easily
