  • British people, do you think at some point in the future the UK will rejoin the EU? If yes, when and on what terms?

  • If you don’t know, vote to keep the status quo. Or don’t vote. What the fuck did she think she was doing?

    Jesus, these people.

  • It’s funny because people are saying this about new Star Trek shows to this day. As if there’s only one type of Trek, rather than, oh, I don’t know, Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations or something…

  • Like the number of remaining torpedoes, plenty more where they came from

  • Maybe. Who am I to judge?

  • What’s the most surreal "small world" moment you’ve ever experienced?

  • I ran into a girl I went to school with in New Zealand (school was in the UK). Didn’t know she was there working for a year, and even if I had, what were the odds I’d end up in the exact bar she was working in?

  • Whats the worst baby name?

  • Brexet (pronounced “Bridget”)

    😐

  • What is the technical hill you are willing to die on in your industry?

    Jump

  • Sure, but the reason isn’t always just security.

    We have government contracts and want more. But to get those, they insist on us doing a bunch of security things.

    So it sucks for the users, but if we don’t implement the restrictions, we lose the contracts and thus the income.

    And as a side benefit, holy shit we are pretty secure. Next annual pentest soon and I’m expecting good things from it!

  • I completely agree.

    You could almost say that my reply… lacked nuance 😉

    Part of it is microblogging. Part is the ubiquity of internet access and lack of general education in critical thinking. Part of it is a concerted effort by hostile actors (whether corporations, nations or other groups, such as oligarchs) to discourage long form media because it’s easier to push out Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt that way than it is to be positive.

    I think a lot of people have always wanted easy answers to complicated problems. Now they’re getting messages saying that they exist, and the people saying “I think you’ll find it’s a bit more complicated than that” are the ones trying to twist them to an agenda.

    Easy solutions are comforting. Why think hard if you can just blame someone else and not have to do anything?

  • Twitter and its 160 character limit.

  • just because its true doesnt mean you have to say it

  • If they show interest, you can go into detail. If they don’t, that’s previous seconds of life you can use for more productive things.

  • It’s easier to tell someone you play D&D than it is to say you play Pathfinder, get the “… what?” question and then say “it’s for people who think D&D doesn’t have enough rules”

  • Who are some widely loved fictional characters that would be hated if they were real?

  • Given how people deify billionaires, I’d imagine there would be plenty of people that would defend a real life Cave Johnson.

    Hell, he does get shit done. His company came up with the red and blue gels, and THE FRICKIN’ PORTAL GUN.

    He actually solved the energy problem (run water over a dynamo into a blue portal, then open an orange portal above it so the same water powers the dynamo forever, and that’s just the easiest one I thought of!).

    People love Jeff Bezos, and he’s done a lot less and treated more people worse!
