There isnt anything inately bad about sugar

Well in moderation sugar isn’t too bad. The problem comes when food manufacturers start adding sugar to foods so it will taste better and if you are not paying attention to the content you can consume a significant amount in a day.

In conclusion, very little scientific evidence exists that indicates a benefit of added dietary sugars; however, an overwhelming and growing body of evidence highlights the negative effects of excessive or prolonged sugar intake

Recording Resident: This ain’t weird? Look at the neighborhood creepers. The neighborhood creepers.Yeah. Look at Buddy, he’s still creeping.

Geffrey Gardner: You know exactly what it is, man. You know it.

RR: What the F do I know exactly what it is?

GG: You’re recording me. You’re trying to race bait me. You know, I know you are.

RR: I don’t want to race … Bro, I have no issue with no color.

Steve Carega: He attack your wife?

Kroger is the largest grocery store chain in the U.S. by revenue and owns a number of different brands, including Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Pick’n Save, Food 4 Less, and Dillions, among a host of others

Kroger told Gizmodo… “customers are shopping more with Kroger now than ever because we are fighting inflation and providing great value.”

… or maybe customers don’t have much of a choice ?

These scams are effective because of a thing called Amygdala hijack which

“is an emotional response that is immediate, overwhelming, and out of measure with the actual stimulus because it has triggered a much more significant emotional threat.”

You can get any human to do dumb things if you can by-pass their logical brain and have them work off the lizard brain.

I can see a future where the Internet is completely run by bots and AI to the point where no human actually uses the Internet anymore.

It’s like an island that gets overrun with rats - there are just too many to deal with so you leave.

It sets both the technical requirements and recommended best practices for determining the validity of methods used to authenticate digital identities online. Organizations that interact with the federal government online are required to be in compliance

My argument is that if this document (and others) are requirements for companies shouldn’t there also be a more approachable document for people to use?

Sure, have the jargon filled document that those in the know can access, but without an additional not so jargon-y document you’ve just added a barrier to change. Maybe just an abstract of the rule changes on the front page without the jargon?

I don’t know, maybe it’s not a big deal to compliance officers but just seems to me (someone that isn’t a compliance officer) that obfuscating the required changes behind jargon and acronyms is going to slow adoption of the changes.

The one that gets me is that if the Universe is infinite but how matter can organize itself is finite (albeit a very large number) then there is another galaxy just like ours, another Earth just like ours, and there is another GoofSchmoofer writing this exact some thing in the exact same way somewhere out there.

And if this is true then how many GoofSchmoofer’s are there in this infinite Universe?

I’m going to make a snarky old man statement. I don’t mean it in a belittling way it’s just something I do.

Start reading books, there are no ads. Reading is more difficult than watching television but boy it’s amazing when you find a great story and you just can’t put the book down.

What’s crazy to me is this is a well known problem yet the people that have the ability to legislate this have just 100% ignored it.

The presidential candidates in the US either completely ignore it (trump) or give a solution of building 3 million new homes (Harris). No one wants to actually start regulating the number of homes that an individual or company can own. It’s an obvious solution to the problem yet, complete silence from the law makers.

That was interesting.

Is there an add-on that changes the header information from an HTTP request to show bogus but common identifying information?

That is crowdsource the most common configurations and set that as the default in the add-on, so now you look like just another face in the crowd.

myNoise.net

from the site: “Discover a world of immersive and customizable soundscapes that can enhance focus, relaxation, and sleep. Choose from noise generators, nature sounds and ambient music to create your perfect audio environment.”

This is what fucked Bernie Madoff.

If this person had gone to VC’s with a pitch for ‘AI listening model’ with the explanation that “Now musicians can up load their songs to streaming services and AI will listen to make sure their pitch and tonality is accurate and that the beat is correct.” or some bullshit like that. Then it would have been ‘legal’

I hope you forgot to put an /s at the end of your comment

True. But the people advocating for these laws don’t want to deal with nuance and compromise on what it would take to have a society where you educate people on sex in a healthy and positive way. These prohibitionists see the world as either bad or good - nothing in between. Good (how ever they decide to define it) must win no compromises, and the weapon that they use is unfounded fear of the bad and it works.

And the reason fear works is because it is easy and visceral and reality’s complexity doesn’t work for media’s need for sound bites.

At least nothing like this happens in the airline industry

But one thing that I have noticed is that the people that are mocked for their hobbies are also the one’s that are the most accepting of others.

My guess is they know the pain of being the butt of other people’s jokes and empathize with others more.

but now we have a scapegoat

I’ve been on both sides of this meme

The interesting thing was she was/is a middle school teacher. You’d think she would encourage questions, not just look it up.

But I guess she was trying to help me not be ignorant because I was just killing time … at a party

reminds me of a story:

Got invited to a dinner party of people I didn’t know well, they were friends of my then girlfriend.

So we were sitting around before dinner chatting and drinking and I brought up a question about something that we were all talking about. I don’t remember what it was but the point was just to keep conversation going and to interact with people. BUT one lady just looked at me and said “why don’t you just Google it?!” Shut down conversation completely.

Sure I could Google it Karen but that doesn’t make for good conversation!
