as a very minimum, it would make sense to demand safe-deleting the photo immediately after the verification process, with fucking prison time to someone if it is found they did not comply with that.

but that is clearly not the direction the society is going 🤷‍♂️

yes, they are. it says so in the criminal code. they are also fucking cunts.

I don’t like framing things in terms of doing a bad thing = being a bad person.

premeditatedly doing bad thing = bad person

it turned out that there are, in fact, stupid questions…

i have always wondered how this works from the legal point. what if you disagree, should you sue to get your money back? you are buying product with some expectations, they can’t just change that after you paid, can they?

it is similar with cars, what if you buy new car and the car’s infotainment asks you to accept some outrageous terms and conditions, you do bother to actually read them and then decline. can you get your money back? has anyone ever tried?

basically, yeah. internet is network of computers spanning all earth. intranet is smaller network of computers. intranet is often more private network under more centralized control of someone, with limited access from outside, that can be operated for example by some corporation or university, accessible only for employers or students (possibly using vpn to remotely connect to the network).

www. is the name of the service - http is a protocol it uses.

e-mail is the name of service - to access it, lot of people use http protocol if you use webmail, or imap or pop3 protocol if you use some dedicated client (like thunderbird, outlook, or others). smtp protocol is used to send the message to another mail server (you may have also been asked to configure it when manually configuring some dedicated e-mail client).

ftp, ssh, bittorrent,VOIP telephony using SIP protocol, IRC are other useful services. all these services can be run on network of any size, internet or intranet.

for example majority of modern doorbell systems are running on sip protocol and they are basically small VOIP phones running primarilly on a limited intranet in one specific building. but if that local network has access to the internet, they can have, due to nature of what they are, an option to forward that “call” to any other telephone number in the world in case no one picks it up at home.

small web-developers routinely run their own web-server of their own desktop, which may only be accessible locally, from that one computer or their small home network, to test the web pages they are developing. whether it is still world WIDE web is funny academical question then, because that web is not very wide in such case.

at similar age, a teacher told me there can’t be polygon bigger than 360-gon, because that would be a circle. i wasn’t of course in a place to fight with her, i just thought “wtf, how dumb is this bitch?”

no, the internet is not the world wide web. www is just one of many services provided on the internet and it can be used on the intranet that is completely cut off from the rest of the world.

there is a terminology question then if it is still really the world wide web or rather small web, but the fact stays that services provided on http protocol and internet are not the synonyms. same as mcdonald is not asynonym for “a restaurant” even if specific person may not have visited any other restaurant in their life.

it is why kobe bryant helicopter crashed. the pilot lost in a fog thought he is going up, when he was just accelerating down really fast. there is air crash investigation episode about it.

in a way it is. they both have exactly one vote.

i think that is the point of the comic. “schrodinger’s telegram”…

well they rejected you beforehand on behalf of really insignificant attribute, so you are not the picky one and you don’t really have a choice, but are you really interested in such superficial bimbo?

yeah, i see you are wonderful conversationalist, aggressive the second someone does not agree with you. keep up the good job, women love that!

used to be that a lot of girls bios would say if you’re under 180, don’t even try,

you should be happy they raise their red flag so clearly so you can avoid them…

it’s more natural

it may very well be, but what most people don’t realize is that the natural life of wild animals is not a disney fairy tale. their life expectancy is a lot shorter than that of the household pets and their death is often nothing to envy.

and there is this whole thing about birds having a wings.

i am the owner of an indoor cat and i am all for keeping cats indoors because of how many dead cats i see on the roads in my relatively densely populated urban area. if i won the lottery or something and i would be moving into a house with a garden, i would be scared to let the cat out because of the danger to her, not the birds.

They look 30, I think that’s just assault.

every physical bullying is an assault, the age is really not relevant to determine that.

The requirements for home schooling in the US vary wildly from one state to the other and can be almost devoid of any practical oversight in some circumstances. In most cases, parents have autonomy to choose their curriculum

yeah, this is the surprising part for me, but i guess in the land of individualism it makes sense. thank you for the answer
