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

Agreed

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.

You couldn't be wronger

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.

You know jackshit

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?
