  • Oh don't you know? The media just has it out for him. For: illegitimate reasons we never have to talk about/s

    It's not like people have good reason to find trump uniquely terrible. TDS!!!1 /s

  • Almost nothing? Canada might be sliding itself but I'm pretty sure it's still way safer than the US

  • Wow that's interesting and the conclusion is so terrible! I have been close to dead skunks and had dogs sprayed by them and it was so rank at a distance. The worst story I heard (before now) was from someone who let their dog outside and the dog went and got sprayed by a skunk then came inside and jumped into the bed. That destroyed that guy for like a month. He couldn't go to work for a while even.

  • In the US, 411 was the number you dialed for "information" meaning to ask for phone numbers iirc. So it makes sense, you just may not have that context

  • just looked that # up. Yes, it is. People are very stupid, but in this case it's more of 1) a case of needing to know. many people do not need to know how to maintain a computer; many don't even own a desktop these days and other systems do many auto-updates. and 2) again, these bad practices affect other people who do properly update their machine. We don't live in a vacuum.

  • firstly, you're assuming everyone works in an office.

    then, that those lessons stick.

    then, that malware only affects those who essentially opt into it.

    All of these are beyond-stupid assumptions.

    PS. not one security training I've had did more than just mention in passing updating your device, if even that. Because guess what, IT departments don't give a choice. They manage that and force-install updates.

    Your other weak-ass assumption is that work lessons (if even applied at work) also come home.

    Yeah dude, you're just wrong in your thinking. Top to bottom.

  • I'm sure 90% people using computers understand the security implications of not updating and not rebooting,

    Deranged. 9% is probably higher than reality. 0.9% maybe.

    Also you're responding to a comment about widespread collective damage as though only a few individuals would be hurt.

  • The way you wrote about it just seemed... like you had done that before lol. I could've written this comment, but the previous one... not so much.

  • I'm so lost. For kids learning to code, I think this image actually might help them understand

  • Is this funny, or is it a useful illustration?

  • What a lovely comment. Have a great day!

  • umm, yeah, I'm not sure where you get your dead skunks or where you get your ability to tolerate being near them or touching them... but that's fucking gross and weird.

  • Some people have the opinion that if you put in place a system that disempowers voters in some states more than others, this should not be considered a democracy. I agree with that opinion. It can easily be argued, but it sounds like you've made your mind up.

  • Take your "somewhat" to someone who cares. The electoral college is a piece of biased shit and it can burn in hell.

    The person you're sneering at doesn't care that technically you can slap a word in front of democracy and not be lying. The people don't choose the president, a convoluted system designed to be manipulated over time does.

  • Wasn't democracy the day the electoral college came into existence

  • No. Effort, should by all means, be discouraged.

  • You're letting the trolls spread lies. So, good job?
