I advocate for logical and consistent viewpoints on controversial topics. If you're looking at my profile, I've probably made you mad by doing so.

  • Updating to a new version isn't self-propagation though. Maybe if it randomly installed itself overtop of Linux or MacOS, they'd have a point.

    It also doesn't modify other computer programs and maliciously insert its own code into those programs or require a host program.

    So I guess maybe it doesn't have... Any features of a virus at all.

    It just sucks.

  • It self-propagates? Well that's new.

  • Oh wow, it's odd that only those are showing. Admittedly I've been kind of lax about making the weekly threads, but there's certainly a lot more than four in the last two years!

    I get this every time I have to play devil's advocate. People get SO DAMN MAD on here despite their poorly argued positions...

    People barely know why they believe something, let alone why someone else should believe the same.

  • Something I've always requested when anybody asked what I wanted for a gift, (and only got once from somebody who went on to be my wife) was a hand-written letter.

    As somebody who buys the things I require whenever I require them, it's something so much more personal than damn near anything else.

    Edit: I gave her a box of secrets. Basically I wrote a bunch of lines or paragraphs on pieces of paper that I don't like to talk about or have trouble expressing. The only caveat was that she could only read one per day and only when she's not having a great day.

  • Buying on a credit card doesn't incur interest fees until a month after the purchase so you can pay it off right away.

    This is guaranteed to incur fees right out of the gate and cannot be paid back faster than they want.

  • Well, to be perfectly fair, I am un-American. Being a Canadian and all...

    :)

  • yeah

    Jump

  • So then yes to everything I said before then. Yes it was all a coincidence. Yes it was sold at exactly the right time after purchasing it exactly the right point in a VERY tight period of time. Totally out of the blue. Several hundred times given her stock portfolio.

    Listen, if you're not even going to pretend to be believable, then I don't think we need to continue this.

  • yeah

    Jump

  • So then logically, she voted with her party after her husband both purchased and later sold stock at the exact correct times (by your own admission) to profit off things both coming and going.

    And all of the rest of those listings are all... Just lucky. Over and over again.

    And somehow, even without those listings, the performance of her portfolio is... Just a coincidence and shrewd trading at a level that outperforms everyone else thousands of times over.

    Got it.

    But yeah, everyone else is easily fooled by Trump somehow. In 2011. Where the investigation was carried out by 60 Minutes for some reason.

    Brilliant deductive work.

    This is some MAGA-level bending yourself into knots to suck yourself off.

  • 35 percent of all Americans now say the country needs a revolution. That includes 39 percent of Harris voters and 32 percent of Trump voters.

    Jump

  • ... But what exactly that revolution looks like and what the outcome of it will be is completely different for everyone on all sides.

  • Dave Chappelle Criticizes Free Speech in America at Saudi Arabia Comedy Festival

  • Bad title. He's criticizing the state of free speech in America citing the Jimmy Kimmel cancellation and people fired / cancelled over Charlie Kirk speech.

  • Google just broke all third-party YT clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required.

  • I've had it fail to load a lot of stuff today. Something's definitely up.

  • That deeply depends on the company and the certifications you'd acquired along the way. Some companies I worked at required an ever-escalating number of MS certs. For us, it's a bit different though.

    I always say that it's easy to train someone in tech if they've got that mindset, but it's damn near impossible to train someone to be good with people. We pride ourselves on being good people first so we generally don't hire outside of other people we've worked with in the past.

  • Thanks!

    The main office is in Calgary, but we have branches in Halifax and Vancouver as well. We're looking to acquire a branch manager for Vancouver, or a sole-prop or MSP in Medicine Hat or basically anywhere else in Canada that would like an easier job and shares in an actually good company / co-op. Heck, a brilliant sales person would also be awesome.
