Probably because when he was a child and asked for help, he was told to "man up". So now that he's a man, asking for help would mean he's not a man.

Ff is down because they got greedy and raised prices so that their food wasn't exceptionally cheaper than the other options anymore which is the main reason people eat there. If people can't afford the food anymore, that's not the employee compensation, that's bad business decisions. There was plenty of profit to cover the wage increases and still have huge profits if sales had stayed the same.

This isn't about image or ideology for Putin, though he definitely can't afford to lose face either. This has always been about proving he could have won the cold war if people had just listened to him. This involves returning direct control, or at least very close alliances with his pawns in charge, with all of the former USSR territories. And winning against the West, though I'm not sure what criteria he has on that side of things besides bringing the US under his indirect control which he's half way there.

There are tons of these Christian cults around all over the world. People just ignore them because they think Christianity is "one of the good ones". But they ignore the fact that it has all the same bad things they complain about from other religions and it just takes a leader to emphasize those bad things to convince people those things are "good" because everything in a "good book" from a "good god" must be right and good. It would really help if the people who keep pushing for Bible classes in schools would actually read the whole thing.

Good news in furthering Postgres adoption I guess. I mean most stuff was going that way anyway, but this will likely speed things up.

Many artists don't own their songs and the corporations that do generally like Trump.

If you're using a recent version of Chrome, Google has stunted the capabilities of many ad blockers. Suggest using another browser and/or using something that catches this stuff before it gets to your browser like a properly configured pihole. Otherwise, configure your ad blockers more aggressively, especially for sites that are less likely to screen their ads.

Lower taxes is good for home owners, too. It's only those wanting to profit from housing prices in the short term who are hurt. The prices will go back up and as long as you are selling and then buying if you move, and the prices are going down across the board, you won't lose anything.

The only negative really other than for investors is for retirees who need to sell to have money to survive.

And I say this as someone who purchased a home in an overpriced area a couple of years ago. The value has slightly declined and I'd love to see it further decline so I could pay less in taxes. In 15 or 20 years when I'm ready to sell it will be plenty valuable.

I think most devs even only have worked in software companies that sell software where devops isn't as critical and complex since there's not "production" environments. When you work for a company who makes software for themselves and/or hosts software from other companies themselves, devops is a much bigger deal. Even moreso if it's a heavily regulated industry like healthcare. Most other companies don't spend much on devops or even often make the developers do that work themselves.

Because we have such a large number of people convinced that love is "obscene" and that love and sex are for procreation only and shouldn't be talked about except to congratulate people who are making babies. But mostly because the people pushing those ideas are people have never truly loved anyone other than themselves and/or want to rape without consequence.

The pant is illegal because it's cheap to grow yourself, but if you let some drug companies make money off of processing it, then it's perfectly fine to use...

The overhead and performance hit aren't worth it for me in general since these browsers are set up to enforce secure connections as long as you don't override it. And I don't have to worry about government level website filtering. I do see the value in tunnels for stopping the ISPs from tracking and selling the list of sites you connect to, but I'd rather set up my own proxy for that if I felt it was worth it. It's easy enough to set up a web proxy on a small, cheap, remote VPS or pay for a trustworthy service with no logging so the ISP would just see that connection and it would be way faster. I don't see much value in using a Tor browser otherwise anymore now that HTTPS is ubiquitous and secure DNS exists, unless you want to access things not on the public web.

Or you realize it's not "intelligent" like the marketing suggests and realize it is eating tons of resources at almost all companies by being incapable of accurately doing the things it's being used for (mostly to replace employees). So you are waiting, impatiently, for the buzz to fade so that executives wasting time and money on it will allow that money to be spent on more substantial needs, like hiring people.

LibreWolf on desktop and Mull on Android. Basically Firefox with a little more privacy.

Be autistic and you probably won't get used to accents...lol. One of my traits is the inability to form habits or "get used to" things in general.

There's really no need to reverse proxy ssh. What are you attempting to accomplish with the reverse proxy exactly? Http proxying allows you to add things like TLS encryption and modify headers. But ssh is a secure protocol already and you can't really modify much in transit.

I have a similar relationship with "Dancer in the Dark" whenever I get around to it. I always cry...

Because many of them believe the same thing. The Democratic party is overall moderate conservatives, but some swing further right than others. We don't have a progressive party in the US.
