Honestly one of the most interesting parts to me as I enjoy the concept but it can be tricky to filter out bad information from good. Do you have any recommended readings on the subject, any books or info you would consider to be biblical in their importance or fundamental?
Do you see viable career paths for people who love technology and computer science without a formal degree who is interested in getting into it, or is that just a dead end pipe dream?
As a general user I have not really seen many calls for donations / volunteering / help requested, I think more people would be willing to pitch in if tangible needs were presented clearly - but maybe I’m alone in my willingness to help.
I don’t see anything that indicates danger according to the american cancer society, according to them it is entirely cost benefit although they do admit it has not been thoroughly studied in populations 45+.
Having multiple sex partners, or recently divorced is an indication for getting it though - so if you’re a big 'ol slut (<3) you should consider it at any age, if you can get it paid for.
People saying dogs don’t communicate as much with sound… Are you a 1 or multiple dog household? Because while dogs communicate lightly with me through sound, my two huskies talk to each other a LOT, and if you watch the behavior and actions surrounding each vocal communication you can tell that something is being transferred, even if it is a really simple message.
Would be curious to know more specifically what they are telling each other.
ding ding ding, this is my exact thought, and I remember my ultra religious dad glazing israel while reading me the bible as a kid.
No thanks.
I think the christian religion plays a large role, as many christian americans, who dominate our political cycle, see it as their “holy land”.
definitely some layers to this advice for sure, situation and relationship matters!
The three least heard words in the universe will serve you well, and often catch people off guard - don’t be afraid to use them.
“I was wrong.”
Admit your mistakes when they happen, then when something goes wrong no one will accuse you.
as long as the investment mortgages aren’t sub prime 🙃
Isn’t this what jeff Bezos is doing with fractional real estate investment, except evil?
Not pooping on the idea, I would totally toss money towards a fractional mortgage to help someone else get a home, just noting how the upside down universe version of this idea is already out there.

I did not intend to ever say you can have personalized advertisements without invading someone’s privacy, I’m not sure what I wrote that you interpreted that way, possibly my discussion about how I feel the current ads are not always relevant?
Either way, I stated that advertisers should utilize the content of the website or the content being viewed as a method to advertise, which does not involve invasions of privacy.
Or maybe it was when I said “you don’t need to invade someones privacy to advertise to them”
That is me saying, you can have advertisements that are meant for a specific group, and believe that someone is part of that group based on them visiting a website, without invading their privacy.
Its how newspapers did advertisements, its why magazines existed - to sell ad space for specific interest groups. People also give away data by signing up for websites, interest groups, or ordering things, all data that can be harvested without entering my computer or invading my privacy.
this hits it for me, thank you, I came to the understanding above that I had been painted this exact picture when I was younger, but learned better in college.
I think I was a bit blind to the fact that some people still paint the absurd picture of feminists shown above, I forget how far we still have to go as a species sometimes.
totally agree and this experience does make sense to me, people paint feminists very broadly and stupidly - personal anecdote I remember being blown away in college that being a feminist could simply mean supporting the right for women to vote, have equal pay, ect.
I had heard terms like “feminazi” growing up, so the picture in my mind was more similar to the comic than I think I initially realized when reading it.
Ok this makes sense and is the direction I was heading in at the end there (glad I wasn’t just blindly groping), thank you!!
Yeah I don’t understand that either, but thank you for the explanation!
Ok so further simplifying, Straw man fallacy is per wikipedia, the refuting of an argument by refuting a different argument that is not part of the original context, and failing to recognize the distinction.
So here, people refute feminists by using the stawman of them wanting to blow up the earth / being extremists? I feel like something has to come back to training bras, like societal expectations of underwear for women is the argument, but then the straw man is radical feminism?
Goddamn I really am not getting the humor in this one. I’m not trying to be obtuse or overly PC, I really enjoy comics and just want to understand the humor because it seems really abstract to me.
I’m not sure what I said is conflicting, and I feel like your statement is trying to minimize the point I am making, but thats ok, I believe we will never come to agreement here because I firmly disagree with the disruption of privacy for the sake of advertisement.
You can say my feelings are meaningless, but as this gets more invasive people will seek ways to opt out, which I believe is meaningful, although you can say and feel whatever you want my friend :).
Thanks for the book rec, I’ll look it over!
Right? we need the follow up strip where the dude is now addicted to opioids and is pan handling for “gas money” lol.
which part is the joke? I’m honestly missing the humor in this one, like I get it might be funny because the feminists want her to blow up the world maybe?
Petaaaaaahhh explain the joke?
Edit: is the joke the training portion? Like they are training her?
this is way more indepth and informative than I could of possibly hoped for, thank you so much - I’ll get started with CC from ISC2.
