I don't trust them. Point blank. I don't trust that they do or don't do what they claim. They have been caught in bald faced lies numerous times before.
I'm not saying Google is better, I'm just calling bullshit on their claim of privacy. I don't believe for a second that they aren't monetizing your data and just calling it some newspeak term they made up to weasel out of admitting it.
Yes because they're sooooo transparent about how they handle you data. And they've NEVER lied before riiiiight?
It's not that they're fake for not being private enough, they're fake because of their long history of dishonesty and deceptive marketing. Or would you like to ask them what "current competing hardware" means on their next press release chart?
Apple was a cult of personality run by a snake oil salesman until jobs died. Now it's a shell of that, run by a board of investors. Why do people on communities like this, an ostensibly ant-capitalist community, still feel the need to defend them? It's always so weird to me.
No, but I clearly didn't say that. I just said you're assigned the wrong reason for their actions. They didn't do it because they were atheist. They targeted waaaaaay more people than religious groups. They did what China is doing now to the uyghurs. It's clearly a terrible thing, you're just trying to manufacture an atheist pogrom when this was your standard totalitarian cultural genocide.
The khmer* rouge didn't kill people "in the name of atheism". They were largely copying the Chinese "great leap forward" pushing to cultural unification through genocide of minority groups. Yes, many of those groups were religious minorities, but to say they killed them in the name of atheism is like saying that the soviets killed people because they hate freedom. It's obscenely disingenuous and clearly said to push an agenda.
Yeah I don't get it. I didn't call them stupid. It's not that they didn't know how to spell anything, they clearly just mistyped a decent number of letters. It just needed a quick proofread.
Yep, I definitely didn't do that on purpose. You're right.
I actually had a hard time reading their comment. Maybe it's because I was just waking up, but it's generally a good idea to at least read what you've typed once before hitting submit.
Edit: also you're wrong. https://www.oed.com/dictionary/oughta_v?tl=true
This word has been in use with this spelling since 1840. Language is fluid, Words are defined be how they are used, not the other way around.
What line work? It's 3d. I also don't think you were going for "vibrant" colors here necessarily.
Maybe if you tried again it would tell you that your exposure was good, but maybe adding a flash and some negative fill world really make it a really great photograph.
I eventually got my ex some really nice headphones because the literally constant true crime (she would literally fall asleep to it) was driving me driving insane.
Sure, but 21,000 usd as he was quoted is closer to the average annual salary in America. So it's still disgustingly more affordable for a local Mexican to afford their own dental care.
Look, I have looked up what those characters mean every time these comments come up, but no one else cares or uses them. Including me. So I forget what they are, because it's not important to me. Then it comes up again in a comment on here and nowhere else and I just can't be fucked to bother looking it up again. So I don't read those comments anymore.
I'm not mad, or stupid. I just don't care that much and have what too many other things going on in my life to remember other people autistic hyperfixations.
This is likely the most common way people intereract with your comments. So if you want to turn every interaction into either a fight over those characters or only have it read by other etymology autists then sure, Have at it. I, however, want to be understood when I talk. It bothers me when people don't understand me. To me the point of language is to get ideas across through any means necessary. By that standard I really don't see the point in putting any effort to bringing these characters back. They do not help language to be better understood or clearer and that's all I care about.
And in my experience, trying to force changes like that through use will just get tiring and not actually change anyone else. This kind of change in language would take tremendous effort. Even if I thought there was a point to it, I would call it a pipe dream to make it standard.
But it's not a lesson if it doesn't explain itself. It just turns their comment into a puzzle that they know most people won't know how to read.
It's gate keeping in the same way as intentionally using technical jargon when common parlance would suffice. It's a bit insufferable.
If I need to Google what your letters mean then you better have something real damn interesting to say, otherwise I'm going to be annoyed. Especially since I don't have anywhere else to use that "skill".
Depends on the place I guess. The old I've cream place in town? That's a little pricey, but not unheard of. One of those smoothie places? I don't think they have anything that cheap.
How much is like a dairy Queen shake these days? I'm blessed with an abundance of quality local establishments so I haven't been in a while.
On the auto banning thing, the last time I posted there I got banned because I was arguing that Rorschach from watchmen isn't actually a good guy because he's racist and homophobic. that the movies just cut that all out to make him more likeable and to flatten the morality of the story.
To make my point I put a few Rorschach quotes down. I got banned for the language that Rorschach used. It wasn't even slurs, it was just him blaming the decay of the city on "the backs, commies, and gays" basically.
This is the inherent problem with censorship. It actually does very little too protect anyone vulnerable, but does very much to protect against talking about those who are racist or homophobic or what have you.
Eh, idk. There's at least a handful of notable Nazi militia group bust-ups in America's history. Like yeah, it was built by slavers, but there's different kinds of bad, and pro big state fascism is actually very very far removed from the ideals of the people that founded this country.

Oh I understand what you meant now.
Ehhh, honestly I'm thinking it's more likely they'll block you. That's how these things tend to go in this age.
Kind of like how more and more of the Internet just outright blocks vpns.
Yeah I don't get it. I didn't call them stupid. It's not that they didn't know how to spell anything, they clearly just mistyped a decent number of letters. It just needed a quick proofread.

I wasn't trying to be pedantic I legitimately had a hard time reading that.
Oof, you really aughta give that a spell check once over my friend. It's on the edge of unintelligible.
They claimed his room was in their block when it was not. That's what you're not getting.

Not yet, but that sure do keep adding more layers of asking you about the app when you pull up to the drive thru window

Auto mod basically white washed Rorschach.
