  • “They’re making us CEO’s afraid, terrified even, so he’s clearly a terrorist. The implication that the working class could actually fight back against the systemic oppression we inflict on them? That’s horrifying. We can’t allow them to believe they could ever fight back. Make an example of this person.”

    The rich assholes or something


  • That’s probably your mobile connection? Are you translating or does an English android say “Internet”?

    What’s the symbol?

    There’s also an option you can turn on that allows you pulling the menu down from the right side of the top of the screen, and you get the whole menu. I tried linking but for some reason I haven’t been able to upload images with my new phones for some reason. And then pulling down from the left side will just bring down the normal menu.

    You can also reorganise the tiles so you have your most used in the quick bar.


  • I’m torn because I want to tell him to leave me alone, that I don’t care about his life, but considering the ‘offense’ this seems too much and knowing me I’d immediately regret it and feel bad about it.

    So instead you’ll like youre ruder than you are, hoping he will eventually get it.

    You don’t think weeks of having to do this is making you feel worse than perhaps one night of feeling a bit sorry after telling him straight on?

    And I know he will appreciate it eventually if the direct reaction isn’t such. You will finally make sense to him. If you’re being rude, ignoring him, why don’t you understand that might make him want to bring you to a normal level of social contact. That he feels he’s done something wrong by just being a chatty person.

    Maybe just tell him you’re sorry but you’re not as chatty as him and would like to focus.

    And yes, I have also done that to a worker. Told her I’m there to work, not to make friends. Kinda cold? I don’t think so. Colleagues, not friends. Co-employees can be friends but don’t need to.




  • This has obviously been proven false with the Great Firewall of China, and of Russia’s latest attempts of completely disconnecting from the global internet.

    Not it hasn’t. Pretty much the only country which manages it is NK, and that’s because they have 100% control of their citizens.

    With TOR and mesh networking, some sort of a system will remain no matters who tries what. The level or communication that was extremely centralised and possibly censored were things before the 80’s. After that, you could just host your own site online and “hide the ip” (not really tho but hosting your things in another country was sort of an equivalent). So information starred glowing much mire freely.

    And becsuse all these techs exist, communication will ever regress to such a state that it was in.

    So an exaggeration, sort of. Depending on how you define “internet”.





  • You wanted a fix of “look what an expert I am”, while ignoring the fact that you were wrong the whole time.

    Birds can not overpower humans. They can pose dangers to people who don’t want to harm the birds, but if a human does want to harm a bird, the human wins. Doesn’t really matter which bird and which human, if you stipulate an adult human.

    Have there been deaths related to birds? Yes. Can they pose risks, even severe ones, like, say, through sickness? Yes.

    Was that the discussion? No.

    You’re the contrarian here, my friend. I’m just agreeing with the earlier guy who said what is a very clear fact; birds can’t overpower humans.

    You came in linking an article which I then read, quoted, and then you started backpedaling and now you’re accusing me of being a contrarian because I called you out on your contrarian argument which isn’t even supported by the thing you linked or any supposed experience you have.

    Hope you got your fix of highroading. Enjoy your day! Think positive thoughts and don’t dwell on this massive L you took! :))






  • Realistically, if that person had no regard for the bird, they could’ve just grabbed it and strung it’s neck.

    “Maybe he didn’t want to hurt the animal,” Hensley’s father-in-law, George Koutsogiannis, told the Sun-Times. “Maybe he didn’t fight back enough when the swan attacked him…I can’t understand how this was possible.”

    A single swan can’t actually physically overpower a person, but people can panic and make bad choices, especially when in water and confronted with aggressive wildlife.



  • I’m not US or British and have never even heard of a shower like that.

    I’m gonna have to pay more attention to the showers in movies.

    Now that I think of it, yeah, lots movies just have a shower head coming out of the wall. That’s sort of dumb.

    We have these. Oh fuck it’s not uploading the pic for some reason

    THESE

    Ugh either there’s some bug and I’m posting 7 images or I’m not posting a single one, which I think is the case as no link here
