It wouldn’t occur to me to broadcast this to others on the internet, especially with personal details, even for a random solicitor, let alone a family member, let alone my own child.

And since the kid didn’t anticipate the public ridicule, it may very well be the first time they ever asked for this kind of help. What an awful way to learn your parent considers you little more than an expendable prop in their social life.

In nature, some species prey upon their young. We usually understand this as an evolutionary mechanism, to ensure only the strongest offspring survive. With that in mind, if your parent behaves like this, consider that they may no longer be your caregiver, and it may be time for you to decide what it takes to be the offspring that survives.

We can satisfy this curiosity with a fair amount of scientific evidence.

Of course, most regions of the brain are so densely and variably interconnected that the technical difficulty of “replacing parts” precedes the ethical consideration by many, many years. But we do have a great deal of evidence for how our subjective sense of self is affected by “losing/removing parts” of the brain. Patients are often unaware of change unless evidence for it is overwhelming, and even then are adept at healing/reconciling instinctively. It appears that this is just something brains have evolved to do.

So while the technology (and sheer artistry) required to match and “stitch” these networks is quite staggering, basically magic, it is theoretically possible that a patient could have every part replaced without recognizing any continuity errors in the chimeric stages, until one day they wake up as a completely different person.

Did Ned Flanders write this headline? Reword that shit.

Yeah other commenter was incorrect. They’re sold with only a basic collection of first-party apps (even the carrier locked devices, so far).

To get one with third-party apps pre-installed requires special provisioning meant for employee work phones. (If you come across one of these in the wild, ask the seller to reset in front of you. If the bloatware remains, odds are the device was recently stolen.)

More visibly specialized knives, like cleavers, will turn fewer heads, but only if carried in a demonstrably safe and non-threatening manner, such as cradling the hilt with an outward grip.

Assign it as a research collection task to a junior dev and forget to follow up.

(Fr tho, auto doc frameworks and related instrumentation are easily worth weeks. I will fight your manager.)

I think he meant ‘first’ as in top-most, the one with the preemptive disclaimer.

Yourself. Time and resources you invest in yourself usually grant the highest returns in the long run.

Examples:

1. When job hunting, prefer opportunities that give you more valuable experience when possible.
2. While planning your schedule, give highest priority to activities that contribute to your physical and mental health.
3. At the grocery store, choose fresh ingredients over the cheaper and easier premade options.
4. When budgeting finances, pay yourself first by setting aside what you can for your future. If not yet possible, see 5.
5. Invest in your continued education, which can include traditional credentialing such as degrees or certifications, but also online and night classes, or even self-guided study.
6. Choose relationships and experiences over things. While things can temporarily improve lifestyle, relationships and experiences permanently expand the life you have lived.

True though I’d give them props for accepting correction and actually thanking the source of it.

If everyone behaved that way, online spaces would be far less toxic and misinformation wouldn’t spread so easily.
