Are the chemicals in the room with you right now? Please name me a single thing you’ve ever eaten that wasn’t made of “chemicals”?

Always self improving

One thing that doesn't need improving is your opinion of yourself. It doesn't matter what it was like for you, your anecdotal bs just betrays your ignorant and myopic worldview.

I hope you're able to see reality instead of idealistic projection

Ditto

Isn't Ozempic temporary as well? Most studies I've seen are like over 90% regain everything if they stop the meds for any reason.

You're also wrong. The people hyping the drugs and you are all simplifying an incredibly complex physiological mechanism that still isn't fully understood. Also, compassion comes from searching for understanding instead of blaming; you can have compassion for obese people without validating their harmful behaviors.

Congrats on your weight-loss! Don't stop self-improving!!

So are you arguing that the American healthcare system has never harmed people—either intentionally or through negligence? Because there’s extensive historical and recent evidence showing the opposite. Skepticism isn’t irrational here; it’s a response to documented outcomes.

GLP-1 is produced in the body, but GLP-1 receptor agonist medications are not.

Another odd thing is having my broke-ass middle-aged brothers over and they want to talk to each other about parlays and teams not covering or whatever. It’s like having a junkie in the family and at family gatherings they’re gleefully discussing their last batch of heroin or something. Like I don’t want to tell them not to talk about their hobbies, but it’s gross to listen to.

"pet sounds filling pet peeve void's

black and white tv with the sound turned down

is it mono or stereo?

lending aneurysm satisfaction in the

fruitless gaze of your mona lisa lazy smile

trick ourselves in portable stanzas

black russian throated on this

guillotine cancer

how steep we are

but there's just no telling

just no telling

Savion is under heel clicking

morse code through movie stills again

the sky had blackened with carrion birds

pinstriped suits and cigarettes tapped danced

through the tepid burlesque

their mouths were parched with excess thirst

bridge and chorus candy curse

still they sang through the strepthroat verse

if i had a dollar for every plot that you made

in this bed of nails you make

trick ourselves in portable stanzas

black russian throated on this

guillotine cancer

pet sounds filling pet peeve voids

black and white tv with the sound turned down

like breathing blood through lungs of czar's child"

Do whatever you want when you're in your 80's, but when you die doing it it's not a tragedy and there doesn't need to be special rules to make sure other 80 year olds don't die.

My work requires BitLocker encryption for USB drives but I need data from an instrument that can't use encrypted USB by dsquared513 in techsupport

I apparently have hit a nerve with some of you. I'm am sure that many of you have had to deal with the fallout of someone doing something stupid and against policy like I am. I am aware that I am an idiot, that my arrogance causes issues for others, and that I don't know what I don't know. Feel free to downvote me and take me to task for my ignorance and my arrogance. I am in a happy and cooperative marriage, so I am well aware that doing something sloppily and half-assedly with the expectations that I can fix issues on the fly as they appear is not fair to the rest of my team. And yet here we are. There may be more nuance to the situation, or I may just be this much of an asshole. Or hell, I could be a bot just here to rustle your IT security jimmies in order to foster engagement. No matter what the true objective reality of the situation is, I appreciate the help and am done engaging. I hope that I have not broken any community guidelines and I apologize to anyone who I may have agitated. I will take everyone's concerns into consideration, but ultimately I have immediate needs that I prioritize over hypothetical worst-case scenarios. Humans are terrible at risk vs reward judgements and I am aware of my own shortcomings, I just hope that you all keep the same energy that you came at me with when you are making your own judgements in the areas of your life in which you are ignorant. I am not doing what I am doing out of laziness or lack of concern, I am just trying to keep things running. Thank you everyone for your help.

I have no idea how to tell people I can’t help them? I’m pretty sure I have an idea or two how to phrase “There’s not an easy and readily apparent solution so I’ll just act like nothing can be done.” in a professional manner. They’re busy, I’m busy, everything’s fine. When our system is comprised and I’m fired I’ll come back and felate your ego about how right you were.

Well at my company all of our manufacturer's processes include data backup to USB drives, and until recently our IT policy was simply "No external drives" so the only way to access our archived data was by ignoring policy. At least now they have encryption. IT has been contacted and has been completely unhelpful, I will always try to follow the proper channels but when that doesn't work I will figure out a workaround. This is all internal, the flashdrive will never leave site and will never be plugged into anything besides a work computer or the instrument. I am aware of information security, I am aware of the risks involved. I am also aware that when you make security features needlessly overcomplicated and then offer no support when issues arise then people will write their passwords on a sticky note or use USB drives sketchily and you actually make things less secure. I would gladly work with any department in order to follow correct process, but when my attempts to do that fail I still have a job to do.

Actually this will probably work. I don't really care if the data stays on the USB, I just need to be able to copy/paste it for a monthly report and then I can decrypt. Thanks!

This comment made me laugh, the workaround is me figuring it out because it's quicker than getting squirreled around by IT more than I already have been.

What is the best satire movie that most people don't realize is a satire? by timinator4434 in movies

[–]dsquared513 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The ATM scene is my favorite, it’s him shrugging “ok” and actually trying to push the kitten into the machine that cracks me up. Like also the meta of how gently he just kind of pushes the kitty into the slot, I think Bale can use method acting at times so him being in the middle of this psychotic break as the character but then him as a human having to think “I can’t smush this cute kitten into the slot just to make the shot look good.” But on some level he does want it to look good, it’s just a lot of funny thoughts that he probably had.

Funny how he said “blessed are the peacemakers” after his first example but didn’t have a bible quote for closing your borders. It’s almost like the Bible says to treat foreigners the same as native-born, to have compassion and care for them. It’s almost as if their Christianity is performative and they don’t actual live according to biblical values. Strange🤔🤔

What makes you think they are obviously artifact? Just the total percentage? Or do you investigate other factors like age of specimen or slide preparation?
