Its always Cruz.

Ha, that’s pretty optimistic to think after all this that democracy and voting will still be part of the picture.

or that people that are always scowling and frowning

Black women and misogynoir have entered the chat.

Maybe sometimes people have valid injustices they face in their lives that make them not likely to be all sunshine and roses and smiling all the time.

Are they “evil” because they are not ready to smile and laugh with you?

The “angry black woman” stereotype has literally been used to belittle black women and paint them as “evil” and an “unstable group” for generations.

Reduced to using imgur because catbox is getting a bad gateway error, bah humbug.

The only time a hacker is going to target you like this is if you’re an extremely high value target like a CEO or if you’re in the crosshairs of a nation-state. The average hacker isn’t going to waste this kind of effort to hack someone with $200 in their bank account and no power over anything or anyone.

And this is why people wanted headphone jacks… and also why corporations didn’t want them.

This is a very important point. There is a reason there is a “cultural victory” in the Civilization games and the UK is definitely ceding cultural influence with this move.

How many international incidents are we up to now?

This isn’t so much what I think will happen but what I hope will happen.

A lot of CPU’s are moving to on-die RAM so the RAM is closer physically to the CPU, reducing the time it takes to travel between the two, increasing RAM speed.

The downside to this is you can’t upgrade your RAM and there will be less on-die RAM than traditional RAM.

Currently, with traditional RAM, computers use a portion of hard drive space for something called “swap” which is space for when RAM runs out of usable address space to offload some data to until it needs that data again.

I’d like to see the rise of on-die RAM along with traditional RAM where traditional RAM becomes more of a “swap” for the on-die RAM. This allows for upgrade-able RAM to still exist while also leveraging the speed of on-die RAM.

Should have checked the weather before planning a picnic, duh!

Don’t blame yourself. Viral spread happens and even condoms aren’t 100% effective, depending on the area it is presenting in. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s something to be ashamed of. The shaming aspect of disease needs to stop, I would have thought we had learned that with HIV. Shame does nothing but harm the communities already affected by these problems, and the treatments get better and better all the time. While some aspects (like potential long-term effects) may be nerve-wracking, they are never a guarantee of that outcome, as there is only correlation and no specific proven causation (that I know of).

The common cold is a virus. Viruses are trickier than bacteria in some ways. The main thing is to remind yourself that while you may have made mistakes, the existence and spread of viruses is not entirely your fault. It is nothing to be ashamed of and anyone pushing shame on you for it is not worth associating with. It would be like someone shaming me for having cancer. It’s absurd.

It may take time to come to terms with and work through your depression, and it may help to talk to a therapist who is familiar with the virus and the shame-culture built around it. The first poster in this thread is right on the money that the stigma came from an advertising campaign promoting antivirals for it. Which, if you are insured, the antivirals are often covered. They will prescribe them based on the frequency and severity of outbreaks

Good luck!

Some people have more outbreaks and more painful outbreaks than others. It’s helpful to take an antiviral that suppresses the outbreaks. When there are no outbreaks, chances of transfer are low but not zero. It’s tends to be higher risk for the penetrated party rather than the one doing the penetrating. Since she never had an outbreak and the penetrated party is less likely to transfer, this may be why.

Frankly, though, like all viruses, long-term effects can be kind of scary, like the evidence of a correlation with higher rates of alzheimers and dementia in patients with HSV-I/HSV-II. Viruses do a lot of things to the body long-term that may not be readily obvious or related directly to the virus itself, much like human papillomavirus is correlated with higher instances of cervical cancer and throat cancer. Long-COVID is another example.

While transfer probability is low, it’s still valuable to try to stop transmission by using prophylactics.

Someone left a cake out in the rain. Who even does that?

It’s weird that I have always liked their politics far more than their music. They were right about Ticketmaster way back in the day and the first to try boycotting them.

Yet god I can’t give less of a fuck about their music.

Gotta get that TV loicense.

The rich kids just pay poor kids to write their research papers anyway so it’s always wholly original. That’s what they’ve been doing for decades. I had a friend who wrote research papers for wealthy kids to finance his Masters degree in the early 2000s.

It’s only the average kids who can afford access to the AI and use that instead of another person.
