Entirely escapism, most romantic movies involve felonies lol.

Stalking is the most popular, harassment, sexual harassment, assault, lack of consent.

…. But it’s all portrayed as romantic. You want to talk about rape culture? The romance films are peak “rape culture”

Twilight vampires secretly watching you sleep without your consent? Hawt! The guy refusing to take no for an answer? How devoted! The guy just grabbing you and kissing you out of nowhere? Swooooon! My ex inserting herself into my current relationship to wreck it and get back together with me? It MUST be true love. . I assure you, those things are unpleasant in real life, but I’m really curious as to how people think they’re romantic in movies. I don’t get it.

Fair lol.

I mean I’m replying from a rib place right now soooo…. Yeah

Oh, I’m not upset! It was just meant to be funny at my own personal expense and let you know that I have NO idea.

My bad! All good. I just have no idea how most of this works

I’m WAY beyond my depth to comment on this at all.

I understand the version you could draw with a crayon you intended to eat.

So you’d make a vegetable?

Entirely!

I’m not saying don’t take them.

I’m saying “eat your veggies anyways”

Addendum, this is also why multivitamins are sketchy at best.

It’s great you’re getting vitamins, but in this format, your body can’t really absorb much of them (if any)

Bio-availability matters. The sugars that are bound with the fibre matter. The fact that the sugar is so concentrated and processed matters.

In order for it to be the same, you’d need to bind the sugars to the fibres because those linkages matter afaik. So you CAN do it, but the process required would basically entail recreating the fruit.

Now I’m talking WAY out of my depth here, but the information is around

Quantum safe cryptography ciphers already exist

Fair statement, but I think it can be viewed from both pieces there.

Rules vs results can be individually determined and separated.

But you’re right, my example wasn’t ideal for my argument.

I do still think that cultural values will determine whether you value “helping your neighbours” and your moral responsibility there.

This starts to get into moral relativity vs moral absolution.

Is it ever moral to kill someone? Is it moral to kill out of a necessity to defend oneself?

I’m not sure that I really believe there are truly evil people. Don’t get me wrong, I think they exist, but they’re extremely rare (1 in a million type of odds)

Most people are the hero of their own story, and when you get down to it, they’re just trying to get their needs met. Are they unnecessarily cruel? Maybe, but they’ll have a justification for it. You might not agree with it, but you haven’t walked in their shoes.

If I have the ability to help friends I consider it my civic duty to do so. That being said, I don’t judge those who don’t help. (Usually) Why don’t I judge them? Because I’m fortunate enough to have the mental fortitude, capacity and ability to help. I wouldn’t judge a friend in a wheelchair for not helping me move into a walk-up apartment, because they mostly can’t. I don’t feel right judging a friend who isn’t in a good headspace to help me right now either.

I’m not firmly in either camp, morality on some things are relative, but absolute on others.

Ideally it passes by shielded. Or better yet, shield both.

That’s an interesting one….

This is the answer.

Some early wifi routers with USB ports on them had the same issue.

No, I just don’t ignore it for 4 years.

The bliss is in having management that actually DOES manage the debt instead of ignoring it until it shits the bed

Valid point.

I force everything to 3 and don’t accept any 2.

And in fairness, there were some moderate breaking changes 3.6-3.8

Well there’s your problem lol.

Don’t use 2 for anything, it’s been “dead” for almost 4 years.

Fair! Neat fact!

Mmmmmm fruity loops of wire

I’m showing my age here, but that’s likely dvi, and not serial.

9pin is much smaller and 25pin is significantly larger.

But despite my pedantic statement, the joke still stands. Well played.
