  • You should include what country you are talking about. I know nobody in the USA who had an arranged marriage in the 1950s. They met partners at school, church, and neighborhood/extended family picnics and parties for the most part. They met in stores, libraries, and cafes. We have to maintain public casual community spaces. To paraprhase a Sociology professor I once had: you can't marry someone you never meet. It requires talking to other humans to make even casual friends.

  • I'm sorry, but are you being this snotty for any other reason than to make yourself feel better for being rude?

  • If you connect your phone to the car, can it spy on your Signal messages? I mean, they have to decrypt on your end for you to see them, right? Or has Signal taken specific steps to stop this?

  • In my region, where public transport doesn't exist much at all, if you don't drive, you might not eat or work (the lucky few work remotely, but not all).

  • What model did you buy? It is rare to see one these days that doesn't have all this nonsense.

  • The issue is that this 20 year old car is not going to last forever or have replacement parts available forever. We need better privacy laws, because time and entropy will eventually force us all into this evil mess.

  • The heart is on the left usually, but we apply compressions on the sternum, because it is strong enough to stand up to the compressions. Nothing to do with which side the heart is on. Should still work for a heart that is on the left or the right. Ribs commonly get broken during CPR, you are warned about that in training, and that is why you do NOT do compressions directly over the heart. Source: have been both red cross and green cross certified in CPR.

  • Only the USA Snapdragons are locked down like this, I believe.

  • Nobody knows how or why a great many existing psychological medications work, so that should be just fine, then.

  • Good tactic to make everyone need to buy new editions of bird guide books.

  • If you do not teach proprietary software un schools, you will hobble your students' job hunting potential. We should ALSO teach open source alternatives, and teach the idea that there are functional alternatives, but a student who has never used the major apps isn't getting their resume even looked at by a human.

  • I've never bothered to check, because I self host to serve 1-5 users, and I've never generated enough traffic for any ISP to notice. I would need to pay them more for a static IP address, but we have dynamic DNS services for that. My ISP doesn't put any actual obstacles in place beyond dynamic IP.

  • I find that the entire category of auto-immune diseases are a thing most people fail to really "get". Especially if it is even moderately uncommon.

  • How do birds fly inside a solid barrier?

    Genesis 1:20, KJV:

    “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.”

  • Just talk about other every day things, and avoid the topic of delusion.
