Why couldn't this call be an email? Why would you call, when you know that you are near indistinguishable from spam calls about Microsoft services and Nigerian princes?
Ok, that's totally fair. I would absolutely hate to get a work call from an unknown number. Tha didn't even cross my mind!
I was interpreting it as simply hearing your phone ring and thinking it could be a spam caller (I really need to set up custom ringtones at some point)
Good thing back in the day there were probably very few cult leaders....
Does anyone wonder about how the story of Jesus being plagiarized from the Egyptian myth of Horus affects the narrative about the Jesus that supposedly lived and died a century earlier? You know the one that happened to have incredibly important political value for the established leaders of the time?
Ratel RAT is spread via various means, but threat actors are typically seen abusing known brands like Instagram, WhatsApp, e-commerce platforms, or antivirus apps to trick people into downloading malicious APKs.
During installation, it requests access to risky permissions, including exemption from battery optimization, to be allowed to run in the background.
Yeah, that's a weird thing to do and then blame on a lack of updates.
"Make sure to extend your car's warranty! I mean, just look at what happened to this drunk driver's car."
I personally really dislike forced updates and how some people try and justify them with examples of people doing dumb shit like this where they literally side load a sketchy APK and grant it all permissions. Why not promote tech literacy instead of blind confidence into updates that are almost never explained in any significant detail? It's honestly just so weird how superstitious it all seems
Not sure if you're mostly joking but TT has tons of long-form content as well. It's one of the main reasons I don't use it - all my recommendations are super interesting 7+ min videos (I think I get too anxious to open the app knowing it's going to open up to some super in-depth breakdown on a very specific topic. It's insane how good their algorithm is. It practically never misses
Hey OP, thanks a lot for making this post! I appreciate you giving me an outlet for my mental illness the opportunity to let you, and any other users here, know that I actually really prefer graphic novels.
OP, would you kindly consider adapting the information presented in this video into a graphic novel (in color, of course) so I can consume the infoyou found interesting in my preferred format? Also, one of my cousins is deaf , so could you make a copy of the graphic novel in sign language, too?
I hope it's as interesting as I imagine. I haven't clicked on it yet since I don't want to spoil anything in the graphic novel adaptation
Sorry. Just having fun. Some people on this site are legit interesting characters, to put it nicely
Yeah they're here too. I think there's a huge overlap in the demographics of reddit, this site, and really the entire Internet - white American dudes over ~35 . I've learned a lot about these people this demographic during my time on the web (mainly from places like reddit)
Idk why you think I'm upset. I'm more shocked than anything.
I would think most people tend to support conservation of different animals and whatnot, except for maybe mosquitoes (and even then I'd be hesitant). It's also blowing my mind that you're heavily upvoted. I had no idea some of y'all thought this way.
That said, I'm just going to assume I don't fully understand what you're saying since it seems so batshit crazy to me. It's clear this isn't really an honest, open dialogue anyway, and that's totally fine
Thanks for sharing your POV. It's definitely the first time I've heard something that radical about dogs, which are basically the most beloved living thing in the US, but I can somewhat understand where you're coming from.
I'd definitely support making it more difficult to own a dog, but mostly because many of the dog owners I've met are borderline abusive to their pets (I'm mainly thinking of neglect here). I don't think I could ever support a ban on entire breeds. That's where it starts to seem crazy to me. Make it a felony to own a dog that bites someone or something but don't make it a felony to simply own the dog. We don't even have such laws for people that own guns or swords and surely those lead to more deaths/injuries than dogs.
I've been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama's first term in 2008 more wasn't accomplished.

Don't Americans pay way more compared to most other countries because there's little to no competition and/or price negotiation to reduce the cost of prescription drugs? I thought that was what people were saying, not that they don't want to pay for healthcare. lol. How intellectually dishonest of you 😂
New tory policy on trans kids just dropped: force them to transition or we take them from their families 🙃 They're really hoping that all the trans kids kill themselves and some have due to law changes already. Bad news for them is that there's never been world without trans people and there never will be.
Yea, it's unfortunate how ignorant, and intellectually dishonest this conversation is, so far.
When I think of sanctions today, I think of Trump putting sanctions on Venezuela, tons of leftists saying that will disproportionately hurt the people living there, the country's finances going belly up, then thousands of Venezuelan refugees looking for a new home, and then of course the US denying its involvement and refusing to help and acrually choosing to spend ridiculous amounts of money to make the situation worse for literally everyone.
Why is everyone speaking in hypotheticals/theory? Sanctions have been used in the past. Has it achieved the desired result? If we don't know, maybe start with that
During the last 'election summer' things went haywire but ultimately nothing meaningful really happened, and not a whole lot really changed as a result of that unrest. This time things are going haywire again, and it seems like something big will happen but people thought that the last time... Would it just be better to ignore...
If that's your level of understanding, I would say you don't really need to be paying more attention. You should just understand your specific level of ignorance and recognize that you'll need to defer to the opinions of experts on whatever topic you hear about in the future.
If you refuse to learn about current events, and more importantly the context of those events in history and so on, then you have no choice but to trust experts that know more than you. In this context, expert means people that study/work in a field their entire life and are backed by the larger community of experts - that is to say, they're not at risk of losing their license or being removed from their employer/academic institution.

It's definitely worth it for me but it's definitely a fucked up pricing model for single users. There should be a sub or something for people to link up 6 people so they can all save monies
Phone calls still assume the people on the receiving end are attached to a desk.
