I just repeat my last two digits on my passcode at the end before hitting enter. Easy to remember.

Signal would need to pay for multi region redundancy and build a programmatic way of swapping regions when their primary region is down.

It bothers me to be monolingual. But I have zero contacts with which to interact on a daily and practice all the German I learned at my university.

I used some software they gave out, but otherwise I sit on the horde like a digital dragon.

Lack or regulation in their industry. Regulation, while it can be burdensome in some cases, prevents bullshit like this from existing. Republicans want less regulation so businesses are allowed to generally be as horrible as they want and have pushed everything towards less regulation and more monopolistic control, knowing that while some people will boycott individually, mass boycott is unlikely without a massively bad immediate fuck up (target just did this). Boil the masses slowly and they won’t notice in time to do anything about it. Kinda like US politics over the last few decades leading to the fuckery we endure now even outside of shit businesses.

I hate zealots. Fuckin religious twats trying to ruin it for everyone else.

I stand corrected, thanks!

Gotcha, thanks for the correction!

Not purporting to have all the answers here or to ascribe to any particular one.

That said though…The concept is that sin (breaking the rules set forth) has a price that has to be paid. Pre jesus that was done with sacrificing an animal, generally the best lamb of a litter(think litter is the right word, doesn’t matter really). It was meant to be symbolism for when jesus performed his sacrifice.

The whole purpose with jesus coming was to be the sacrifice that would pay the price for sins committed. Thus allowing the law to have its demands of punishment be met, and allowing mercy at the same time. Appeasing justice and granting mercy.

The whole trinity concept (god is jesus and the holy spirit etc) is distinctly Catholicism, (maybe a couple others, not sure edit:not just a catholic thing, I’ve been corrected.). It confuses the fuck out of me on a conceptual level so I’m not sure how to explain it. But in general I think what I’ve laid out is the basis for many of the sects

They aren’t really. Just asking you to give backing to your position. You’re getting worked up. I’m guessing it’s probably a sensitive topic for you.

Not everyone has a bad experience in or with organized religions. Not everything about every church is broken. If you’re taking an absolutist position that they are, that’s as naive an approach as you are accusing them of.

Tired xennials unite…eventually…maybe just nod in passing. Fuck I’m tired

Truthfully I haven’t gotten a chance to use an 8k screen, so my statement is more hypothetical “I can see a possible benefit”.

For media I highly agree. 8k doesn’t seem to add much. For computer screens I can see the purpose though as it adds more screen real estate which is hard to get enough of for some of us. I’d love to have multiple 8k screens so I can organize and spread out my work.

So I have a pet theory on studies like that. There are many things out there that many of us take for granted and as givens in our daily lives. But there are likely equally as many people out there to which this knowledge is either unknown or not actually apparent. Reasoning for that can be a myriad of things; like due to a lack of experience in the given area, skepticism that their anecdotal evidence is truly correct despite appearances, and on and on.

What these “obvious thing is obvious” studies accomplish is setting a factual precedent for the people in the back. The people who are uninformed, not experienced enough, skeptical, contrarian, etc.

The studies seem wasteful upfront, but sometimes a thing needs to be said aloud to galvanize the factual evidence and give basis to the overwhelming anecdotal evidence.

Seriously. People are in the wrong sub if they want to be pedanticly PC.

I still tell people I will burn their house down with lemons.

Final Fantasy 3/6. Kefka’s laugh will forever be the best evil laugh.

Because they thought you wouldn’t call them out.

When it’s 100F or higher, there is no such thing as AC too cold.

So you’re more asking for a native PS app. Don’t think they’ve dedicated any time to it
