Yes, she did plenty wrong... but you cannot evaluate that without the context and alternative

If you have cancer and they tell you chemo is your only shot at living even thought it will be painful... you cannot set yourself on fire and pretend it was chemo's fault for not being a better choice

Home of the brave... what a fucking joke

They tend to be deeply proud of their work

Not anymore I guess

Stay strong, museum folks.

Stay?

You can't defeat willful ignorance with more ad spending

I don't disagree with the premise. I may disagree encrypted hard drive by default a sensible choice

well Argentina has a horrific track record so tRump probably loves it

And the triple hit of inflation due to tariffs, reduced offer and of course speculation

Muricans are about to get tired of all the winning they voted for

such a "hack" would only work in a poorly written tv show

an unencrypted drive is like being able to look into a bank though a window, not ideal but things of value could/should/would still be in a safe or somewhere else completely

Almost no Linux distro has disk encryption turned on by default (PopOS being the major exception).

it's usually an option in the guided disk partition

If an unencrypted computer is now unacceptable on Android, then it should be on Linux too. No excuses.

Linux is about choice, not whatever someone else thinks it's acceptable

It is a cult, and they are locked in until they are all burned away like a literal fever.

Yes but, as with any cult, blind faith won't save them. They'll go destitute, get sick and die all the same.

It's a shame it had to come to that but the world will eventually be rid of them anyway. People wishing MAGAtards redeem themselves are focusing on the wrong thing

that is the answer he gives to every question

ask him about the weather and he'll say the same thing

what a dumbass

a bit harsh ig.

Likely, sorry about that

Maybe a better formed argument is that getting into a marriage legally is way too easy compared to the legal process of leaving one.

This is a completely different point than your original one though. And, while somewhat true, the countries that have strong marriage protections will not save you from a separation even if there is no marriage (more on this below)

The part about being in a hospital, only applies if the partner is not conscious

Or impaired in multiple other ways... but yes, the not conscious part if key because you could be in a medically induced comma to spare you the pain and someone may need to advocate for you in case a decision needs to be made. If you just had minor issues, there would be no problem but we are fending off the worst scenarios, no need for legal protection for minor stuff

Some other counties have another method for this where if you’ve simply lived together long enough those sorts of protections exist.

Correct and those same laws are the ones that basically have you automatically declared "common law" (or whatever preferred term) which makes a separation almost as hard as a divorce (coming back to point 2 above)

Is it a valid reason for legally formalizing your marriage? That’s up to you and your partner to decide.

At the end of the day, yes of course it is for the couple to decide... I just want to make it clear that you do not normally get the same level of protection by just having a will or a power of attorney (or it would be actually worse in those cases) and that people should consider this WAY more than "I don't need a paper to say I love someone", that is not what legal marriage is about

Getting legally married is intended to protect the couple under certain circumstances as you suggest. You could attempt to perform the same with other legal means but it would be harder and costlier; like you deciding not buying a car but putting one together yourself.

The notion people get legally married out of love or worse that "a paper does not say I can love a person" seem to just have a 7 year old notion of what marriage is

This is a shallow and very "I just think about the next few hours" view...

First of all, there are a lot more legal protections to married couples even if no kids are involved. Second, I guess you know when you are going to die so you can be certain there won't be any end of life concerns, you are certainly immune to accidents, right? But also, you don't have to be about to die to want your fiance to be allowed in the hospital room with you (which they won't be if you are unable to provide approval and they are not legally your partner)

The "state" does not meddle in married life either... this is a rednecky thing to say... unless of course you are referring to treating your partner like crap or attempting to deny them any protection they are legally entitled to

... while, on the same speech, utterly failing to explain what "woke" is

Donald Trump is moving too fast

Yeah, that's the problem... too much speed! LOL what a jackass thing to say

We were trying to be reasonable and compromise... I know, how naive of us

Now that the streaming industry plunged head first into enshitification, we are back to our previously held practices

I guess there is more than one way after all

How else are we to feel better then?
