@lauren I do not care about sports. At all.I do want news, science, arts, and some vapid entertainment. YouTube's presumption of elastic demand angers me to no end, and I'm almost angry enough to drop them on principle. Like a cable company, I use them because they are the least bad choice for (what I feel) is the best value.What is the opposite of customer loyalty? Tolerance?

@lauren You know "business" people always do the easiest stuff first... They request things like "MVP" and "low hanging fruit", and when you say "will incur time of tech debt" they blink and say "what is tech debt?"

@lauren back when it was known as two-factor, The rule was something you know and something you have. This covered both identity (via the "something you have" because it was often provided by an authority), and INTENT because presumably if unintended, you would not enter the secret that you know.This concept of intent seems to be less and less important as newer forms of authentication try to minimize the "something you know" portion of the challenge.

@lowqualityfacts when the bank offers a discount on your landlord's monthly note payment, and the municipality offers a discount on taxes and fees, and the insurance company offers a better rate, THEN, start asking your landlord for a discount. Until then, maybe realize that your landlord has upstream long term financial commitments that you are unable or unwilling to take on.

Telling my MAGA family that the 2023 COVID vax is rumored to cause the vaxxed to exhale airborne nanobots that inject government mental microcontrollers into everyone - even the unvaxxed.

@RustyBertrand @Fred_Hymans Is there a known repeatable mental process that we can use to defend?For example, I liked Jordan Peterson for 5 minutes, I liked Ayn Rand for about 20 minutes, and I still like the 4 horsemen (hitch, dennet, dawkins, harris).But for any of the above, if I become uncomfortable with too many aspects of their philosophy, I'll start to pick and choose portions while rejecting others.What I'm looking for is a reverse "Jesus prayer".

@Lana if the borrower voluntarily agreed to those terms, then yes, in fact, a "somebody" is being stiffed. That may be the taxpayers or a private entity. But regardless of the amount of service paid, the principal is still a debt. It is still revenue that was expected to be received and the recipient now has to make up for the lack of your payment of your debt.And making up for a lack of revenue that was contractually guaranteed is very very expensive.

@futurebird I am not for term limits. I do like impeachment though (which is already available). Sadly that requires an effective Congress.Also I'd like to remind everyone that the Congressional Dems had a chance to enforce the approval of Garland (with a little trick at inauguration) but instead chose to "play nice". This is as much their fault as it is the GOP.

Language is helpful, it betrays a person's viewpoints and their level of respect.Mispronunciations and other triggers to start ignoring a person:kaMAHlahBarack Hussain ObamaEYErackEYEranEYEtalianNevahdaNookyularPresident TrumpA caveat: I was taught that the President title was for life and "former" is improper. The problem is that Trump claims to have won 2020 and addressing him as such leads to confusion. So I think the rules have changed because of his treason.

@mcc I've had this fight at a company. I was responsible for the technical comms channel. I was told to use it for marketing purposes. They did not understand why I protected the channel... "Well we need to tell ALL of our customers about this great new product and you have that mailing list"Sigh. When a company turns and decides you are a teat of money to be milked rather than a customer to be serviced for money already paid... It's sad.
