Could you explain what part of it doesn't make sense to you? (Or what part you disagree with) Maybe one of us can clarify better if we start there

Trans woman = woman, I fail to see your point.

Youre correct it's not the provider's fault, but it's much harder in my very biased opinion to accidentally expose a secure 100% internal intranet than it is to accidentally put a top secret document in a public data bucket.

But it's a moot argument in this case anyway. Fake documents means these are likely exposed just to troll folks like us.

Now this is just vibes based... But I imagine "functionally limitless high output clean energy" would probably solve the "supply side" of the "supply and demand" equation pretty quickly. More, cheaper, cleaner, energy would certainly be less expensive to the consumer than less, more expensive production.

Ah yes, complete the ethnic cleansing of the region... What a wonderfully ethical suggestion /s

Absolutely deranged take.

My bets are on "cloud infrastructure is bad for highly secret information" rather than "public web honeypot with zero obfuscation" Edit: likely fake. The sensationalist in me would love it if this was real because it would confirm my "cloud storage bad" biases, but alas, the document markings dont appear to be consistent with my understanding of official US Government confidentiality/secrecy markings

Look everyone! Another troll that doesn't understand what trigger warnings are for!

It's a paid search engine, so their only priority is serving you good search results. It feels like using google before the 2012-ish enshittification.

Have you tried Kagi?

I still have a lot of de-googling to do. However at this point, I only use google as a search engine maybe once/month, and it's frankly usually for the google business info...thing. For everything else, I use Kagi and quite frankly have not looked back. Probably one of the few services that I happily pay for.

All your explanation is neat and all, but I'm going to stop engaging. You're refuting/attacking points that are systemically related to what I'm talking about, but aren't actual values I hold, nor have I indicated I hold them. I will however address 2 things you said, just for fun:

I believe you didn't intend to. I also believe a lot of those who upvoted you totally think you did.

Argue with them when they comment with incorrect interpretations then? Why are you arguing with me about how my (in my opinion) incredibly clear non-endorsement of a system could have been interpreted by some people that left upvotes?

It is bad. Destroying families bad.

Yes? Again, nominally I agree with everything you've said, you just dont understand the north american tipping system, or that saying "how it works" is not the same as saying "how this good and well designed system functions"

Oh and for what it's worth, I promise you that the upvotes on my comment in fucking 196 weren't because of some imagined endorsement for tipping culture or capitalism (again, we're in 196). They were most likely because you are being truly insufferable.

You'll get a lot farther with people being kinder in their corrections of your incorrect presumptions if you vibe check yourself and cool it with the providing the enlightened eurobrain takes.

If I were you, I'd be a tad more cautious with the use of that word, "works". Seems a lil bit overblown for what you are talking about.

I know the north american tipping system is a top-down broken trash fire. You'll find that I never actually endorsed the system, just commented on the reality of it. It's possible for someone to acknowledge how something works ("how it works" =/= an endorsement of functionality) while understanding that the system itself is negatively impactful to those inside it

If you don't check the amount before entering the pin, it's a you problem.

I'm not an American, so someone else is free to correct me, but most of the US is still being introduced to chip cards. I believe there's still places where it's not exactly uncommon for the server to swipe for you.

But then, you are legally allowed to literally kill them, right?

Holy bad faith Batman

if you can't afford having employees, then don't.

Yes... I agree. I never actually endorsed the north american system though?

A cursory glance at your profile tells me that we're probably roughly equally far left, so why are you trying to start a war here when I was merely trying to correct your functional understanding of a system.

I'm not going to shame you for being a eurobrain, but why would you start talking authoritatively on the deranged state of North American tipping culture when you dont seem to understand how it works?

It's surprisingly common for cashiers to re-enter your tip amount for you when they reset the machine if there was an issue with your transaction, or maybe they fudged the automatic gratuity on a large party, or maybe the person needed assistance with the machine and the cashier decided that was their chance.... Unfortunately when people's incomes rely on tips, and a tip is expected on every meal, it's only a matter of time before someone takes advantage, and unfortunately some people just... Aren't super observant.

As terrible as Capital One is (extremely bad), this isn't a dark pattern to keep you from spending money, they get more out of you if you spend more on your Credit card because of the interest on repayments.

I think the assumption from the Vermont police is that someone comes to Canada, gets a tracker put in their wheel well or whatever while they're here, then they return to the USA before their car is hit, but because of how these trackers work, their location is probably still known.

People are stealing cars in Canada and shipping them out of Port of Montreal and Port of Toronto in containers with falsified manifests. reportedly theives are using tracking tags to keep an eye on vehicles they want to eventually grab.

Sure. You first.

"Poa pratensis commonly known as Kentucky bluegrass (...) [is a] species of grass native to practically all of Europe, North Asia and the mountains of Algeria and Morocco. It is a common and incredibly popular lawn grass in North America (...) despite the fact that it is not native to North America. (...)When found on native grasslands in Canada, for example, it is considered an unwelcome exotic plant, and is indicative of a disturbed and degraded landscape."

I'm getting the feeling that you dont.

Almost everywhere on earth has a species of grass that is native to it.

The species of grass typically used for North American lawns, isnt native to North America.

I'm going to very sincerely disagree. You can see it as misinterpretation if you like, but I believe there's functionally no difference between the two statements you've provided and as long as the right is trying to come up with any excuse to outlaw our existence, its optically beneficial to come up with ways of educating people who may be "eggs" about being trans/enby that are informative, but are less likely to fuel a deranged groomer witchhunt. I'm glad it helped you and your friends, but given the political climate, I believe we should avoid terms that endanger us more than needed.

Continue using it, I certainly won't stop you. But I'm not going to start.

I... Where are you buying Caesars that you're getting them with fried pickles/onion rings/etc?

Or am I misunderstanding and you meant that those are on the side?
