  • My friend praised me for a horrible “before” photo, and it really got under my skin

    Jump

  • Maybe your friend knew you made the mistake and was truly trying to congratulate you. A lot is lost in text, and it seems like you already had a chip on your shoulder from the reaction. Reach out to the person individually and have a talk, it might clear things up. I hope your day gets better.

  • Why do so many piece of Hardware come with windows only software requiring admin right for installation

    Jump

  • Before the last few years, I was on a lot of torrenting sites. Really before a lot of software became what we now know as FOSS, it was the way we traded software. So, there was a potential much higher then than now. I've been doing this computer thing for closer to 30+ years, so my habits come from headaches and other learned lessons.

  • due to corporate IT policies

    I think that answers your question right there. If you got the device outside of that realm, you'd probably have no issues. Talk to your security and IT people about why that is. There are huge security risks for people being admin over their systems.

    For context, I run my home computer as a non-admin user most of the time, unless I need to make some deep changes, which is not often. Maybe once a month. This saves me from accidentally installing a rootkit or other software. I run my children and wife under the same context so they don't need to worry either. Yes, it takes me a bit of time to go through and approve some updates, but that's worth it to not need to worry as much about viruses and keeping data secure.

    The amount of time it takes your IT department to do something is another complaint that should be directed at them. We get those kinds of complaints constantly, but it's the fact we have everyone asking the same things or completely meaningless ones. You're in the queue, please give us patience.

  • That raised freeway translated into a fallen ladder in my brain. Thought it was some photoshop image of a giant's ladder. Took me a minute. Good shot.

  • It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore?

    Jump

  • Been a Christian for a long time (1989). I've consumed copious amounts of ancient mythology and folklore. People who don't understand that you can read something that challenges your faith and still follow through with better understanding afterwards is the issue. If you read something and it doesn't make you think deeper about yourself, faith, world, or whatever what's the point? Those in the church (Christian or not) that tell you that reading something is a "sin" are probably ones that teeter on the edge of losing their grasp as it is and don't want you doing the same. Most of them can't explain why it's so challenging, they just know it's there.

  • Took you 9 seconds to come up with that one? Might want to shoot some grease in the gears, the hamster is getting tired.

  • My grandfather and his neighbor would sit on the front porch for a couple hours every few days. Neither would say much more than a handful of words, just vibe. Now all of the new-build homes don't have porches and it makes me sad.

  • I wonder if using baking paper would help with this. It can handle higher heat and may not stick like regular printer paper.

  • JetBlue makes you watch an ad to connect to wifi

    Jump

  • It's a free wifi service provided by the airline while on the flight. One ad, when most other places are charging $10-20 per flight? I'll watch the single ad. I'd rather that then someone, say, injecting adverts into sites and services. which is very possible.

  • "Finance company owner purchases second home to get away from family"

    There is the updated title. Not just a mother, a mother that owns their own company and wants to get away from family obligations. Do what you have to do to find peace, but this title does not express what is actually happening.

  • I need to wake up early

  • I had one of these until I got married. You will wake up, many times in a panic. Good times.

  • So, are we hoping this gets deleted as well to keep the tradition alive, or is this hopefully going to change moderation? I'm confused on how to feel about this.
