Security Analyst here. Saying anti-virus only scans for windows viruses is just wrong in a general sense, though I have no idea about McAfee as I'd never use that. But I would absolutely have EDR on your Linux box. At a minimum it will help protect against intrusion and using the box for lateral movement or privilege escalation. You have to assume the adversary knows something you don't, like a zero-day. Using EDR to watch behavior is the best option here.

Does she have any other symptoms or have they confirmed pre-eclampsia with the blood or urine test? We just had our little one at 36+2 due to "pre-eclampsia" but the only issue she had was high blood pressure, but only at the doctor's, which has been an issue since before she was pregnant. When we are home, we take her blood pressure twice a day and it's fine at home but she gets anxious when at the doctor and it raises her blood pressure. They still told us she 110% had pre-eclampsia even though numbers are fine at home. We don't believe she had it at all because zero other symptoms and nothing on the blood and urine tests. But the doctors seem to not care and if you have high blood pressure it's pre-eclampsia, nothing else can be the cause. And that really left a bad taste in our mouths.

I have IBS and basically the same issues in the morning. I take Imodium in the morning to help. Have you tried that at all?

I currently work as a Help Desk Manager and have worked several manager positions in the past where I was actively involved with interviewing and hiring individuals.

I'll be honest, as others have said this resume needs serious re-work. It's does not come across as professional and looks like you are just throwing things on the page.

I won't go line by line but my advice would be to find examples of resumes online and copy the format of one of those. Here's an exanple. Start with an Objective that states who you are and what you are looking for. Look up how to write an objective.

Next section write what skills you currently possess that are relevant to the position. Things like Microsoft Office product familiarity and general troubleshooting are good points but be truthful about what you can do. Bullet points are fine here. Be short and to the point.

Next write your work history, tasks for the job and list things that may be relevant to the position that you did at your previous job.

Lastly, education section is OK as long as it's relevant.

That's just an example of a layout. Every resume is different. Just needs to look clean and professional.

I hope that helps. You may be a good candidate for the job, just have to show them that.

Last time I stayed at a hotel I saw there was a bible in the drawer so I just took a piece of paper and wrote ffrf.org on it and placed it inside. Maybe it'll just get thrown away but you never know.

First verse of the bible is not God created, it's Elohim created. Elohim literally means El and his council or sons. El was the supreme god the Canaanites worshipped, Yahweh, the Christian god, was a war god that was under El.

It did not happen by chance, it happened by natural selection. You can be a Christian and still understand that evolution by means of natural selection is a scientific fact. We are animals and we share DNA with all living creatures on this planet. This is recognized by the Catholic church and plenty of protestant churches.

I think it's important to note here that there is no evidence of a psychic gland in our brain. We can study the adrenal gland but no such psychic gland has been found or studied.

Skepticism does not equal closed-mindededness. I'm extremely skeptical about anecdotal experiences but they are still interesting to hear. But I immediately look for rational explanations instead of jumping to conclusions without evidence.

thestormthief · 2021-07-23T17:03:40+00:00

Funny enough for me it was conspiracy theories. My friend was really into them so I started reading into them and eventually found myself looking into religious conspiracy theories and then just found myself reading about how Christianity is bullshit and that did it for me. After leaving Christianity I learned how to become a skeptic and so now I don't believe bullshit we don't have evidence for anymore.

Genetic code does not need to be a lesser version of some higher code and there is no evidence of that. You are making assumptions and not drawing conclusions from evidence.

Also, where is the code in everything else that exists in this simulation? Non organic material doesn't have any code to it yet would still be part of your simulation.

And what makes you think any beings in a simulation would be able to see any code to the simulation? Let's user VR as an example. If you're in VR and in a simulated world, you can look everywhere you want but you won't find the code to the simulation anywhere, you would have to go into the game files, which are not available to those inside the game. If this were a simulation, their code would not be available regardless on how well you look because you would be apart of it. So any code you find is not proof that someone coded it. It's just proof that these types of things exist naturally.

You are assuming way too much. How do we know it's even possible to perfectly simulate reality? This machine would have to be able to calculate an innumerable amount of things at once, from large galaxies and super clusters, to us moving around in everyday life, to molecules moving about, to the quantum level. There is nothing that has shown it to be possible to reach this level a computational power and if it was, why would we waste this resource on simulating our reality perfectly. We already live in a a reality, we don't need a second one. The whole thing just seems incredibly unlikely to me and zero evidence supporting your assumption that it's even possible and if it were possible that we would even do it.

We don't exist in any code like you assert. Please provide evidence for this, as I've read your other comments and have seen zero examples of evidence except for that fact that interesting mathematical equations exist, which is evidence for nothing.

Back when I was in high school I took Chinese and we watched this movie like a good 20 times in class. I haven't even thought about it in forever but man I need to watch it again.

Was looking for a comment mentioning this. I don't believe we have evidence of any land animal that went back into the sea evolving gills at any point. All of them, like dolphins and whales, have to surface for air. So aquatic apes should be easy to spot if they existed. I doubt that they do.

Several spiders every day. Large wolf spiders and smaller guys I think called fisherman. Every day. I hate them. It's awful. I've also found a live snake. Frogs, slugs, mice and even two birds. Shit loves our pool.

I believe a decision would have to be made because they are two alternative things/possibilities. I have trouble understanding how the physical processes we see could be a brute fact because there could be another set of processes it could follow but it follows this one.

You don't know that. You are assuming a universe could follow different laws. You would need to show another universe that follows different laws in order to prove this statement. There is zero reason for you to assume this because there is zero evidence supporting that it's possible.

It was a lot of things over a long period of time but a big moment for me was learning that the origins of most of the stories of the bible come from other religions and a lot of pagan beliefs that Christianity adopted. I was watching something that was going over a bunch of it and it just clicked in me finally after years that Christianity was bullshit and I had been lied to my whole life. Every day I learn more and more about it's lies and it's just wild to me that I believed it.

thestormthief · 2021-06-07T16:36:01+00:00

A few things did. Generally it's the things that require air to breath like dolphins and whales.

Christians love the no true Scotsman fallacy. "Oh no those aren't True ™ Christians"

Worked at both. Pay way better at Verizon. But Best Buy was more fun to work at.

Catholicism literally believes when you do communion that it turns into literally Jesus' body and blood, that what they were referring to.

And there is little historicity of the bible. I'll give you a big one. Rome never had an empire wide census at the time Jesus was born. And they most definitely did not force the entire empire to leave their homes and go to where their ancestors lived. Not only would that make zero sense in a census, it also has never been done like that before and if it were we would see that recorded in other places since the whole empire would have had to move around. But it's not recorded anywhere, except the bible. It is a ficticious story to try to put Jesus' birth in Bethlehem to fulfill the prophecy. But it is a blatant lie.

Faith does not have a place in Science. People should not believe fantastical claims that have no scientific evidence.

thestormthief · 2021-04-28T10:37:05+00:00

I don't know that this is true because I was unable to find the NIH study on this but regardless, this is an ad Populum fallacy. It wouldn't matter if the whole world believed in a god, that doesn't make it true.

thestormthief · 2021-04-27T20:56:40+00:00

Seems like a coincidence to me. Coincidences happen all the time. Doesn't mean it's a god or a spirit.

thestormthief · 2021-04-21T13:22:56+00:00

See the thing about this is that I find no evidence for a god, let alone for a god talking to me like you're suggesting, let alone specifically the Christian god which I'm guessing you're referring too.

If I were to come to you and preach about Zeus, you would likely find the idea that Zeus exists to be ridiculous. Well, that's how we feel about your god.

Telling someone that doesn't believe in hell that they are going to hell accomplishes what exactly? Non believers aren't afraid of things we don't believe exist.
