The ticket is always one way, whether you like it or not. All Cobain did was decide to get off the train early.

My Irish American family is a lot like this. One of my favorites that I only use with them goes something like this:

Getting old sucks, and I cannot in good conscience recommend it.

“Moving forward at a rate of 1 second per second.”

Usually at work, in meetings.

Funny thing is, I did neither of those things the last time I had need to install; the script handled it for me.

Pretty slim pickings there, but I can’t especially disagree. The point of the question really was to allow the poster to explain a very specific implication they made.

Yep. And I’m not against going to basic lynx when needed. But the person I responded to made a very specific implication, and I’d like their opinion.

Allow me to expand my point. If you are using a computing device of any type, you are using the fruits of the labor of IBM, Xerox, and AT&t from the 1950s and 1960s. That means, by your argument, you are glorifying racism, homophobia, sexual assault and xenophobia among other things. You should definitely get off the internet.

What do non-trumpets but still privacy focused people in your circles use?

I might suggest getting off the internet and finding a completely self-sufficient lifestyle then. I guarantee you there are people that you would disagree with in person, in every supply chain.

It’s not technically an arrest. In a high-stakes call, the police will typically detain everybody until they can figure out what’s going on. That means potential victims as well as potential attackers. It’s a safety measure.

Too soon.

This concept is just as dangerous as the right wing claiming LHC will open black holes. There’s an implication here that just as soon as LHC was turned on it suddenly gathered information about every unknown Force, particle, and energy in the universe.

The Large hadron collider took 4 years to confirm the higgs boson; as of today it is only on its third data collection run. LHC is hardly a silver bullet.

My company went remote first in April 2020. Even if I left here, there’s no way in hell I’m going back to an office.

I built a kit car, painted a penguin on the side, and forgot to include the telemetry module. Oops.

I think I’ll travel somewhere else.

Sony lost me many years ago when they decided it was appropriate to include a PC rootkit on an audio CD. This only lends weight to that decision.

Garbage. I’m over 50 and I’m not worried.

I know for a fact I’ll be working till the day I die.

Buck Rogers would be a cool one to reboot; plus it already has the " we’re going to trash the world " backstory.

The least amount? 20k US would halve my credit card debt and give me a leg up on getting the rest paid off. 40k would give me a jump start on finally rebuilding. Given I’m in my 50s though and with the state of the world, I’m likely to be making credit card payments until the day I die.

Could be worse. They could have picked Orlando.

How about this - your position is that a chemical burn from concrete cannot reach third degree? That it doesn’t happen fast enough to cause that damage?

Let me use your vernacular.

Bullshit. (Warning: NSFW)
