I mean, can you not opt out of payroll taxes? At least the claimed portion. Sure, you’ll still owe, but a sov cit didn’t want to pay in the first place…
The Worth County Sheriff’s Office has charged business owner Jerry Dan Heflin with 66 felony counts, including child molestation, aggravated sodomy and incest.
DnD is very much NOT holding role playing together. I have no idea why people fear corporations going out of business… You can still make characters and roll dice or play MTG if the entire company goes bust!
This fear is nothing but complete ignorance and the basic fear of change. Almost as silly as thinking PC’s would die if Microsoft tanked tomorrow…
I’d argue it’s not comparison at all, but envy. Comparison is a simple act and can be done between two things no one gives a damn about. It’s the envy that you generate yourself that ruins joy.
Anarchists aren’t against all government at all cost, but about having the bare minimum authority to do so. It is about not enshrining positions of power that those psychopaths then go on to seek and jerrymander in to place. It is about creating structures where no one is actually above others even if they’re deciding some things for others.
Like how most people trust a good tradesman to do their job and don’t dictate the trade to the tradesman (the ones that want a good job done anyways!). Everything requires a minimum of trust. Would you let a plumber in to your home you don’t trust? Why do we allow police and politicians that few trust?
We’re supposed to forward the spear fishing emails to IT but I always just report as spam and go about my day. Was only nervous the first couple times I ignored an obvious internal phishing test but apparently they don’t care if we don’t fall for it.
Almost certainly not by sound, but creating a seal in an ear canal can make it significantly easier to rupture an ear drum. Even a slap up side the head can rupture an ear drum if you get a good seal to their ear before all the trapped air gets crushed. Remarkably easy if it’s the second time, I’d know! 20% hearing loss sucks.
Giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe the alert startled him and he slapped his ear in surprise trying to dig it out. Or maybe stacked on an injury. Or he could always be a weirdo with thin membranes. We’re not all clones!
Tesla also considers the ones where the car randomly veers suddenly in to a guard rail as driver caused because they disable “autopilot” milliseconds before impact. Not on during impact? Not “autopilot” caused!
It is, in fact, not BS to be mad at a megacorp for cutting valuable and functioning assets, and the fact you do not understand that is hilariously pathetic.
If you’re aware of people and games that do fit, then whining about it and talking about how they get crapped on instead of how cool their sfuff is doesn’t help, either!
You seem to be more willing to paint things negatively than help improve, so why should we listen?
I mean, yeah, if you’re expecting intelligent long term decisions, those expectations are still too high.
Remember: This is the group of people STILL actively trying to cover up anthropogenic climate change. Something that not only threatens their long term profitability, but literally threatens the planet with extinction.
My laptop’s HDD is failing, it shows a bunch of signs such as slow file manipulation and clicking sounds. The Linux btrfs partition keeps going into read-only mode to prevent further damage, makes sense, but the windows partition is working fine (for now)....
BTRFS is smart enough to check for file errors in some situations under normal operations (I forget which, it’s been a while). When it finds issues, it puts it in read only to try and prevent things from going off of potentially corrupt data.
NTFS, which is what Windows usually uses, is a very “dumb” file system. It is merely a record of what files exist where, so if data corrupts, it will only throw NTFS off if it’s in the file index it stores itself. If it’s in the middle of your file, NTFS doesn’t know and doesn’t care and will just give you the wonky data.
Windows seemingly continuing to work is just a consequence of the “dumb” file system. It will take some critical file getting corrupted before Windows or some program will just crash. At least BTRFS is trying to tell you things are looking amiss and you should definitely back up anything important.
I forget the exact differences from NTFS, but it’s similarly “dumb”, as in it’s just a ledger of files and locations, and doesn’t do any checksum/validating. Only BTRFS and ZFS do on a file system level as far as I remember, but there are plenty of oddballs, especially counting networked storage stuff.
It’s not a statement on reality, but a statement on perception. One I agree with as a guy. I don’t really know how to deal with a bear, but if the hypothetical involves any indication of oddness, I think I’d rather risk walking away from a bear than finding out if there’s a crazy looking for their next victim.
Sure, the person has more positive possible outcomes, but if my intention is to stay alone, why go through the risk? Hell, my antisocial ass would probably start acting weirder to try and scare them!
If you live in the US, the government practically hands your data over to credit score agencies.
Agencies that HAVE been hacked in the past, as well. People are too ignorant for their own good if they’re this pissed at Sony whilst Equifax isn’t burned to the ground…
Suits only think in green, and assume “consumers” do only that: consume.
I’ve been waiting 20 years for people to realize it, and that’s only because I’m young compared to others who have realized what capitalism is: Institutionalized greed.
