The number one thing that makes this app potentially effective is reach. You don’t build a debase big enough to be worthwhile with a side loaded android app, certainly not in a short period of time.

Feels like they are both made up scenarios for rage-bait. In both scenarios, the first two questions are completely relevant and the third is only a problem if you’re already looking for a problem.

Newell is a billionaire like all the rest at 3.5B, but Sweeney is our savior fighting the good fight at 4.5B. Okay /s.

That’s 20k new hires with families and home addresses that can be doxxed. I am NOT saying violence is the answer, but these 20k people should absolutely live in worry for their families’ safety because of their participation in this gestapo.

Anonymous, where are you?

Please cite in the constitution where it calls anyone “illegal.”

A person cannot be “illegal.”

But they can be ignorant, bigoted, and hateful. Obviously.

Interesting that you chose to identify your friends as “from countries in central in South America “instead of just calling them, Americans.

I will, because I’m picking up that I’m making you uncomfortable.

Take note.

Shuttle Endeavour is housed at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, and fun fact, the Tundra that towed it is also still on display there.

If you have to ask what your energy/demeanor has to do with women being comfortable with you, you should probably be quiet on this subject.

Anyone, of either gender, would react negatively to someone interacting with them with the energy and perspective you’re displaying here.

If you think that type of reaction is common, I suggest looking at the common denominator.

I guess, but based upon his parents advice it sounds like it is where OP is.

Totally disagree on so many points. Women haven’t made things difficult, if anything men (historically) have done so because women haven’t been given a choice.

But the narrative that if you’re ugly or poor anything you do is unwanted is just not true. It’s an idea pushed by those in their parents basement justifying why they don’t have a girlfriend.

Teach your son that no means no, and when an uncomfortable woman might mean “no” without saying it, and he’ll be fine. Respect for the wishes of others takes care of 99.9999% of any trouble.

People are allowed to speak to one another in public. Just be respectful of people’s cues, and that goes for people of all genders.

Do you ever make small talk with men with whom “you don’t have business?”

I’m assuming yes, you probably do. Speaking with women is the same, just be sure to pick up on cues if they don’t want to speak. In fact, I’d advise you to practice by making small talk with everyone you can, with no agenda, and pay attention to their cues.

Question for the class: aside from the obvious like computers and technology, what category items are we expecting to be hit hardest? Or to ask pointedly, what items that we NEED might be affected?

To put a finer point on it, it specifically the younger Gen Xers and older Millennials. That’s the “one” generation this post describes.

I’m with you that you shouldn’t have to, but putting your media directory one level up in a randomly generated directory name isn’t too bad. ~/[random uuid]/media/… may not be a terrible idea in any case.

Coming with receipts! I’m appreciative of that. I genuinely had no idea the number of Kubelwagens produced. I’ll certainly concede that production of vehicles during the war was significant. I’m trying to paint grey what this post paints in black and white, and perhaps it isn’t quite as grey as I make it out to be.

I’m certainly wrong in my assessment here, and thank you for the correction.

I do think it’s still worth pointing out that the very nature of its birth under the third reich, the fall of the third reich, and its rebirth under British military control, Volkswagen exists somehow different than the established automakers in Germany. I think it’s worth pointing out that while Volkswagen wears the nazi label more publicly than Merc or BMW, it’s likely the heads of those automakers were more actively complicit in the war than anyone at VW in the late 40s.

A cursory reading of Wikipedia doesn’t really do the history of Volkswagen quite right. As a component of the government in the 1930s and early 1940s, they made some prototype vehicles that would eventually be the beetle, and yes, a few vehicles for the military. But it wasn’t until post war reconstruction where Major Hirsh and the British military took over and started the company we know today.

I’ll grant you that lowercase v volks wagen and the Nazis overlapped, and that is cause for some discussion and some joking. But it’s also true that uppercase V Volkswagen isn’t quite as guilty as Mercedes-Benz et. al. in the build for the Nazis department.
