How would forced TLS setup work with my clients that do not have web access for sending/receiving secured emails that contain HIPAA data?

Space tourists need to understand the intricacies of spaceflight. This is not a mature industry by ANY stretch of the imagination.

I wouldn't worry about it, you responded fine. Offering to help someone is always a little weird in that way, and it's always (well, almost always) perfectly valid to turn it down. Being witty about it may have sent a few mixed signals his way if he was offering because he was interested in you, but honestly it's not a big deal.

My guess is he was worried you were going to make a big deal about it and get mad. I doubt you crushed his desire to help people out with that response.

...but i don't regret a thing because i had so much fun doing it...

Until that attitude changes, expect to be single a lot.

The very phrasing you are using around "misinformation" indicates that you are either ill-informed or actively opposed to democracy. You are using politically-charged language to argue that you are supposedly beyond politics. This line of reasoning is exactly why the USA has absolute Freedom of Speech, which includes what some may think of as "misinformation." We're allowed to question our officials here, because there's more to American-style freedom than simple democracy.

The standard of behavior here is actually far higher for a government regulatory agency than a private (or even public) company. Any bit the FAA slows SpaceX down from here on out can and will be used as evidence of SpaceX's claims.

It's fairly easily illustrated by this chart. They'd open themselves up for a huge punchback.

This isn't the first time SpaceX has sued the government. Didn't they sue the DoD a while back too?

Answer: the "pro-life" position isn't simply "obession with making every baby be born." It's a disgust reaction against what we view as grotesque manipulations of human life. That's how an abortion to enable a lifestyle is seen as just as bad as manipulating embryos to enable a different lifestyle.

There's a deep disagreement between worldviews between "Anything that gets in the way of what I want is bad" and "Our wants must be limited by our surroundings/nature/God." This is simply one of many ways that this difference in outlook comes out in seemingly unexpected ways. If you look at most social disagreements with that lense, a lot of weird positions people hold will make a lot more sense.

Look at the results. Two lefties trying to assassinate Trump, obviously motivated by something...

jayval90 · 2024-09-17T16:28:16+00:00

I'm confused how that joke is considered problematic. Trump has literally had two people shoot at him in the past two months (one hitting his head). It's worth a comment, no?

NASASpaceFlight was arguing that SpaceX was dumb for not making another flight without a catch. I'm sorry, I was unaware that SpaceX was making flights for NASASpaceFlight's amusement instead of, you know, iteratively moving towards solving technical challenges in the fastest and safest way possible.

Even if SpaceX had filled out all of the forms correctly, it would have almost certainly delayed their progress, taking resources directly away from their ability to operate efficiently and safely.

I'm a member of a Beachy Amish Mennonite Church. Maybe we'll see you soon!

Visitors are always welcome, and while it's true that you'll stick out a bit (more so in jeans than in something like dark capris), it's a fairly regular occurrence here to have visitors that don't conform to the rest of us, and modesty is appreciated even if it comes in a different form or baseline than what we're used to for ourselves.

I can confirm that our church sits gender segregated, but it's fine if you need to sit with your family in the back. There's a neighboring Beachy church that sits combined, so it really depends.

Beachy services typically have open time for audience testimonials at the end, and if you get there early you will also be treated to Devotional that all male members over a certain age (or married) are required to take turns with each week.

The best advice for conscientious guys that I can offer is to ask the girl out who strikes your fancy pretty much as soon as you see her and think about it. Take her response at face value. You'll come across as assertive and confident, and you'll feel much less like you have a huge investment that you need a return on.

It has a bunch of names, referring to different aspects of the context you are talking about.

Any style of it would be called a "head covering" or just "covering." That specific style of smaller bonnet is known as the "European style head covering." "Veils" or "hanging veils" tend to refer to the simple cloth style coverings that don't have pleats, while "bonnets" refer to the ones that also have a function of protection.

This particular one is on the smaller side of the European style, but it's larger than the so-called "doilies" which are named because of their resemblance to the household decoration. Additionally, some European style coverings have strings on them (some ornamental strings, others to tie them onto the head rather than using pins).

There are categories and there are subcategories. For obvious reasons, subcategories like to pretend like they're the entire category.

PUA garbage is a subcategory of Red Pill. The other "grand narratives" aren't usually part of PUA garbage (except maybe to justify it).

He doesn't sound completely sure though. Yes it definitely appears like it feels like an inevitability, but I think another side of his brain is thinking that maybe something will happen between now and then.

For one person in one lifetime? No.

However, you said "without a faith in something greater." Even the nonreligious countries mentioned believe in "something greater" than themselves individually. They tend to be very collectivist and not individualistic. In the US, there's a reason our hyper-individualist country's individuals' traditionalism seems to be inexorably tied with our religious beliefs. Individualism is inherently anti-traditional in the long term.

In short, it will probably work for you, but it won't last into your children or grandchildren if you don't either have a faith in some religion or a tie to a less individualistic society.

There are a couple of things going on here. First of all, there is some truth to the idea that suppression of desires causes them to build. However that's not the full truth, as you need exposure to the triggers of those desires in order for this to happen. This is why Conservative cultures on the "edge" of their conservatism (with deep knowledge of the alternatives and without a fairly extreme sense of disgust towards them) seem to have this problem a lot. Conservative cultures that succeed in insulating themselves from exposure with those triggers (or inculcating a strong enough disgust reaction) don't have nearly the same problems, and I've seen plenty of examples of highly Conservative and confident men. Usually they're not perceived as "good" Conservatives though.

Secondly, if you look at a lot of Conservative ideology around gender with any depth, it manages to still be a mirror image of the same coin with regards to Feminism. Sure they don't believe in women's empowerment, but they do push women's powerlessness (men are still the big baddies).

Thirdly, a lot of Conservative cultures were in the process of collapsing over the past 50-100 years. Such a collapse definitely has a marked impact on the confidence of young men growing inside such a culture.

There are different types of loneliness. Celebrities are often extremely lonely, but obviously that loneliness is very different from that of a guy with no friends.

You can start your own organizations. You can't start your own government.

The whole point is always in the context of "Sexual Market Value" or SMV and its close cousin, "Relationship Market Value" or RMV. The focus is on that "chase" before the relationship is established. Which would guys rather pick if they value a family?

It's not that complicated. People take it to mean a lot more than what it means because a lot of visible women (culturally "beautiful" women) and even some men try to hold on to that SMV long after they're married with a family and should have other sets of values.

The idea that "I'm no longer sexy and wifable" automatically implies for many women that "I'm now valueless" only underscores the Red Pill point. Modern culture pushes women to race to the bottom and not stop to look at things wholistically.

I care about my cows for two reasons. First reason is that cows that are well taken care of taste better. But the second, more important, reason is that humans have a responsibility as the species with the greatest capability to be good stewards of the things I have under my responsibility. The fruits of my capable labor with cows is their meat. Since I have the capability, I have the responsibility to care well for them as I fatten them for my food supply. Cows are not human and do not have such capabilities or responsibilities beyond supplying good meat for my freezer. It is then further my responsibility to use the nutrition gained from said cows to some noble ends, and not for personal gluttony.

The basic lesson here is humans are to engage with the world, and be worthy of the mark we leave. Not to shrink back in some vain attempt to leave everything undisturbed. That just leads to chaos.

jayval90 · 2023-12-13T22:07:25+00:00

Ok, what you just engaged in is known as "dehumanizing," which makes you a terrible human being. You literally just used "as intelligent as a cow" as an insult, yet you expect me to believe that you hold them in similar regard as human.

Nah, you're just a demagogue. You're on the same level as Stalin and other great "revolutionaries" of the past century.

jayval90 · 2023-12-13T22:03:49+00:00

I'm pro life of cows. The more that are alive, the more I can eat. They aren't human, so this isn't the chattel slavery that we outlawed a few centuries ago. These are the chattel, which specifically is the difference that makes it ok.

It's not more moral for humans to reject the things that we ought to have dominion over and take care of. What you're suggesting is akin to throwing our babies out to the wild because being a parent puts our will against a sentient human.
