WOW. . I'm sure I'm behind, but how does my new phone know when I lightly brush up against it with a finger. My ID, my fingerprints, email etc ... this phone knows everything about me when I have always clicked NO..

You are saying no to them selling the data attached with your personal info. Google still collects all data from all sensors on your phone and stores it in their system. GPS off? Well not really, you haven't been able to turn that off since the early 2000s iirc. Microphone always on, even if you don't turn on voice assistance.

Then they use that "anonymous" data to serve you ads and suggest searches for you. A fun test is to set your phone down next to a Spanish radio or TV station for an hour or two, and then see how long it takes for the ads on your phone to stop being in Spanish.

In general though, it isn't REALLY saving your fingerprints, it's just logging specific points and the distance between these points. It wouldn't be able to give someone the info to clone your fingerprint and use on another device like a safe or something. I would be more concerned about the location, voice, and camera data that's being collected by google and government collection bots.

TLDR: you're opting out of the above board sharing of your info, not the collection.

Laugh at the joke or change your flair to lib-left. Making fun of Russia for legalizing domestic violence so their commie-block loving troll women can abuse their dick-gobbling, draft dodging men is fucking hilarious.

Oh so it wasn't a DOCTOR who helped her, it was a charity? That makes things so much better, I feel so relieved a whole organization who's goal it is to help people kill themselves was able to step in. This woman wasn't dying, she was mentally unwell. Did she have AIDS? Was she so sick from Cancer that she couldn't eat or drink? Because that's what "Dignity in death" used to mean.

Being told about that as a option would not make someone more likely to kill themselves.

Canada's 6th leading cause of death would beg to differ.

So essentially a medicated, suicidal woman who was so mentally unstable she tried killing herself multiple times was deemed of able mind to consent to letting someone do it for her? By a group who's mission is to help people achieve this goal?

If someone did this to a mentally challenged individual it would be considered murder. She was not in sound mind to make the decision herself.

The babushkas who can get away with cutting their good-for-nothing sons and husbands:

Hey Putin did something I like for once! (They are holdout commies from the before times)

Edit: Jesus Christ you'd think a meme subreddit would be able to take a joke, so much butthurt I thought I was in a monkey pox vaccination line.

Average Mars surface temperature: -81 degrees F (-200f low)

Average Tesla Battery: Loses 40% range in 32 Degrees F

Will need different tech that can handle the cold. Our best cold resistant rechargeable batteries only handle -70f (Sodium Ion)

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-08T13:09:46+00:00

Yeah that's what it sounds like they did, but the shrug was followed by "So there is one other option"

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-08T12:35:02+00:00

Ukraine destroys bridges in war : "Yes fight harder, Daddy"

Russia destroys bridges in war : "OMG literally Hitler"

I know I'm straw manning your argument lol, but I just ~~hate~~ love propaganda that tells me to feel something. It's common for militaries to hide out in schools and hospitals (Civilian infrastructure) so when they get hit they can claim civilian death, those evil (insert enemy here). Classic ISIS/Taliban shit, I guess it makes sense, the US trained all these groups lol

Edit: Acting like there are sides to be picked in a Sl*v war is like wondering which pig smells the least of shit.

"Tried everything"... The psychiatrist told her they had tried everything.

Psychotropic drugs don't really work, going to a pharma shill (psychiatrists are known for being in bed with drug manufacturers) for help is only going to get you drugged up.

Someone in that mental state doesn't really have the clarity to make those kinds of decisions, and it's super easy to manipulate someone in that state to agree to suicide, people get charged with murder for encouraging such behavior if you aren't a doctor.

Edit: if a kid in school is depressed from 7th grade to 12th grade and is still depressed when they turn 18 after counseling and medication, should the doctors tell them to kill themselves? 6 years of suffering is nothing. People fight cancer for a decade, I've interviewed purple heart veterans who got half their bodies blown off and went through years of surgeries and decades of therapy and doctors visits.

Suicide is only the option if you come up with it yourself. Being told "suicide is an option, and you don't even need the responsibility of doing it yourself, we do it for you" is coercion of a vulnerable individual. There are other options.

Idk if you've ever heard of the show "Caillou" but there were a bunch of groups doing research on the negative effect of that show on the development of toddlers. Exposure to certain media at young ages does have an effect on how kids act and develop, the books you read them, the stories you tell them, the TV they watch all has an effect on their development.

When my sister started watching the show she started literally parroting lines from the show as part of her identity (5 or 6 at the time. iirc). You can't say she would have developed this way if she wasn't exposed to it. Not even saying it was that bad just something I observed.

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-07T16:25:22+00:00

Nah she wasn't actually ADHD but she acted like SpongeBob and this was when they started over medicating kids.

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-07T14:48:51+00:00

It's a blessing and a curse. If you're pretty you end up having a harder time making real friends, and those who are jealous will let you know. You can find real friends but most people are tagalongs for looks and clout.

At a certain point it's almost impossible to have regular opposite sex friends or acquaintances who aren't interested in sex. Hell, it's hard to have same sex friends for the same reason. It makes you question the motives of everyone interacting with you, and you can feel very isolated and objectified. It's more prevalent for women obviously but it totally affects men.

The big issue is that usually pretty people are looked at as pretty and that's where it stops. Hobbies? Interests? None of that matters if you're smoking hot. "Depressed? You're too pretty for that, you get so many compliments! If I got that many blah blah blah"

It's like getting special treatment because you're disabled, it doesn't actually make you feel better because people don't care about you, they care about features out of your control.

Fuck Nickelodeon for pissing on Stephen Hillenburg's grave by going against his wishes and creating spinoff shows.

But also Spongebob shouldn't be shown to kids anyway, I saw the direct effects it had on my young sibling after we got cable as kids, and it essentially made the school think she was ADHD and they started medicating her. (Under 10)

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-07T12:42:00+00:00

This guy fucks!

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-06T20:51:47+00:00

Are they going to roll this out before or after they repay the student loans?

Pardon my skepticism, but promises made by a politician in October during an election year hold as much water as colander.

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-06T15:34:41+00:00

I also remember when they were trying to tell us that terrorists were buying PS2s and using them for missile guidance systems.

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-06T14:20:14+00:00

I think about all the religious nutjobs there were 20 years ago and realize they are still around, they just switched from being crazy about the bible to being crazy about government funded propaganda.

There are so many people that need to be told what to do to function in general, if they don't find the church they will find someone else to tell them how to act.

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-06T11:31:52+00:00

If it helped us 10k years ago, it can help us today lol

"I don't come to your job and knock the sailors cocks out of your mouth!"

The classic response to anyone telling you how to do your job.

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-05T01:20:59+00:00

Yeah I love this

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-04T23:17:41+00:00

I would put the piece in a zip lock bag and soak it/shake it in Isopropyl until clean.

Looks pretty neat and I dig the unobtrusive shape.

Neighborhood on top of one mountain. School at the top of the other mountain. You have to go up hill regardless of which place you're going.

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-03T13:22:27+00:00

Looks like a generic steamer...

Place your bets on how long before he has blue hair like the other streamers lol

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-03T13:02:41+00:00

That's honestly still pretty confusing when you know about those two shows but not that they do crossovers lol

TheDukeofKook · 2022-10-03T12:39:35+00:00

Yeah, highway and 100+ year old car-only bridge between me and the school. Basically illegal to walk. There was about a mile of steep up hill coming and going so if bikes weren't banned on the road (2 lane, high speed, not safe for bikes) it would still be pretty impossible for all but the most fit hobbyists (Who you do see a few times a year)
