So, they only encrypted what was being intercepted by the masses, that is, TV? Sounds right.

I suppose there are people around the world who still have one of those big dishes in their backyard and are listening in on everything.

When my son was born, I casually asked his mother (my now-ex-wife) whether he should be circumcised because it was a question on a form. I hadn’t thought about till then, we hadn’t discussed it. She was vehemently against it, and I didn’t care one way or the other, so that was the end of that.

There won’t be any bullying about this, because most boys don’t see each other naked anymore, in P.E. for instance, at least not in the U.S., and most boys are not circumcised now.

Of course, circumcision started with and is tied to religious BS, but in the sixties, when I was born, it was so common even my atheist parents had it done to their two sons. I supposed it was recommended for “health reasons”, I dunno. Also, my dad was, but I don’t know why–I don’t know much about that side of my family.

It’s just how I’ve always been, I’ve never resented them for having it done. I’ve never wished I wasn’t or wondered what I missed, or had any desire to try to recreate it. I’m sure my uncircumcised son feels the same way, we haven’t discussed it.

I find it a bit heartening that the number is that low.

I sat here for a couple of minutes, trying to think of something I was willing to reveal.

High school students reading the entirety of The Great Gatsby?

Where does this happen these days? From what I’ve read in /r/Teachers, getting kids to read and comprehend more than a couple of paragraphs is a struggle for most students. It’s pretty bad out there.

I guess it doesn’t take one to know one.

He drives a G-Class SUV, they start at $148,000.

He beat a bicyclist unconscious just for complaining.

I think the assumption that he’s a rich, entitled douche is justified.

Hey! I resemble that remark.

I recently got permanently suspended from Reddit. I still read there, because there’s so much more content than here.

I don’t engage here as much as I did there, because the communities I’m interested in just don’t exist here, or are very quiet.

I’m spending less time on both, because of that.

I love this for them!

It’s no secret that conservatives want to ban porn for whatever reason.

Some of us never used cloud storage. I never trusted it.

I doubt IT admins are surprised. Frustrated, yes.

I feel like this will not last long. It’s one thing to rape end users, but with the growing corporate backlash against AI, I think angry money will win the day, and Microsoft will back down.

The only way this law stands is if they’re being paid more to keep it than… oh shit.

He died of “natural causes” at age 55.

Okay.

Google bends the knee.

I know the bet here is settling will cost them less than if they lose at trial, but it still feels like paying an extortioner.

Restarting fixed it, thanks.

Same for William Shatner.

But, you get the equity, and you own the house when (if) you pay off the loan. Renters get nothing.
