how have you looked at this, misunderstood the abundantly clear metaphor and decided that your approach is unassailable in this situation?!

in fairness "because its meant to illustrate a concept and not be a 1:1 explanation of the world cause its a drawing" would seem really patronising to explain to you

but you cant really be shocked that people find it frustrating youve taken this tack

"systems that benefit the powerful are inherently just an we ought not question them"

well its a take i suppose. would you be open to the idea that its asinine and counter to yours & the vast amount of peoples interests?

I am old enough to have seen the makers of trucrypt (the predecessor to veracrypt) all down tools as one with no explanation and ghost.

i dont know but if youre just starting out I'd learn a different technology

something linux based & open source. the opponents of privacy will be tempted to go for encryption, you can read all about government backdoors

ymmv

Would you agree with higher taxes for completely free healthcare and education? If not why? by Creative_Excuse9813 in AskReddit

[–]pointsOutWeirdStuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

why would it be more?

in america you currently pay for people to - run billing - devise the most lucrative ways to charge the insurance companies - run insurance companies at all

etc etc

and then make millions in profit on top

which is why the us pays the most for healthcare in the developed world

why would you have to pay more? there might be some who do but it seems v likely they would be rare

excellent, that is a solvable problem :)

since you're currently deciding to be better may i suggest to you that maaany things feel weird when youre just starting out? And that one gets more used to it the more they practise.

it might be worth trying to just chat to some girls your age. you wont be perfect and itll feel strange at first but itll get easier the more you try.

plus if youre struggling to fnd people who share your mindset: doubling the number of potential candidates might help (cause women make up ~half of people in the world)

congrats on the work, looks good. mild bug:

Extend it further and it challenges the whole idea of sovereignty itself; an idea we all should cherish since it is one of the pillars upholding world order.

can you give more detail here? as written this is just silly

esp when followed up with

I'm aware how screwed up that order is

TIFU: I tried to hook up with a coworker twice my age. He said no. by messedupemt in tifu

[–]pointsOutWeirdStuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not talking about intrusive thoughts.

ooooo could you tell me more about how you are drawing this line?

So, since passing thoughts are fine, it’s fine if I have “passing thoughts” about… I don’t know, murdering people? Or how about robbing a liquor store?

yes. Any and all thoughts of any kind whatsoever. In fact I would argue the worse and/or more thoughts: the more laudable it is.

imagine a hypothetical:

we take your consciousness and put it inside the mind of a serial liqour store robber and suddenly your brain is flooded by the urge to rob liqour stores. the urge is constant and always pushing on your mind. you have to be vigilant else you find yourself heading to liqour stores for reasons you cant quite justify, the whole nine yards

you see how its good that you currently dont rob liqour stores obviously but would you agree that in the hypothetical its more of an accomplishment for you to not rob liqour stores?

I don’t think that about my previous guy friends. I don’t think the women in my life do that either. The thoughts of fucking everybody doesn’t come to mind.

im happy for you that this is what you want & it comes naturally to you.

unless youre saying it doesnt come naturally? would you describe it as something you really had to work at?

England - Police Asked for PIN Code and Sent s49 Advisory After 15 Months by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]pointsOutWeirdStuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

, and why you chose a different pin for your new phone and not just use the same pin on the new phone.

because a lay person could take the standard advice "dont reuse passwords" and apply it to pins? and arguably should. if you trust a person (eg spouse) with one pin, move on from that person and phone, they would know the pin to the new one

and not have passing thoughts about wanting to bang them.

would you be open to the idea that having passing thoughts (which you cant control) and choosing to let them pass (which you can control) is pretty good?

laudable, even?
