No one has nudes of me because...I don't take nudes or give them to others. It's that easy.

Not unlike what I said to my children (all sons), "If you are having sex and not taking an active role in contraceptives, then you are saying you're fine with your partner deciding to have children." If you give out nudes, then you have explicitly decided to give that person the option to distribute them. This isn't a statement of legality, but a statement of reality.

My favorite Minecraft builds.

Abd your stance is that 2/3 of the people who would already be fine with that idea were also completely unaware of the complete shitshow that the second Trump presidency would be and that they wouldn't be defending that stance? Poilievre had a campaign manager wearing a MAGA hat, was asked a question about his stance on campaign employees doing such stuff, and he blathered on about the Liberals and taxes, and they still got 40% of the vote. But please, do go on and tell me how 30% of Canadians being okay with joining America is unreasonable.

You're full of shit. As per the link, 30% of Canadians polled "would consider annexation if offered US citizenship and conversion of Canadian financial assets to US dollars."

And damning for Poilievre. He not only had the opportunity to win by banging on the usual triad of "time for a change", "we need to unleash the economy", and "tax relief" but he lost his seat in the process. It's easy to point at the gains the conservatives made, but losing at all after a decade of having another party in place, especially in very difficult times, is impressive. Even if he isn't ousted or doesn't step down, he may be seen by the electorate as incapable of bringing home a win.

The thing is, the Liberals are in a good enough position that they can maintain power with the support of the BQ or the NDP. This gives them some leverage if they tried to play the two parties against each other, and the NDP may be more willing to help given their low head count. Maintaining relevance could be a strong motivating factor. All that said, I hope that Carney instead chooses to build consensus. If he is able to, it will lead to more stability for our country in troubled times and would be a promising indicator of a change to PR electoral reform, which would also cement greater power for Liberals while opening the path for more social progress for Canadians. I'm not optimistic, but a non-career politician may be more inclined in that direction than most others.

I used to live in a house that had the wrong GPS coordinates for iOS maps. This caused problems when ordering pizza. In my Android-only home, we would type in the address and it would show correctly. Had a friend do it on their iPhone and it would pick a location miles away. Very weird, and fixed within a year of us finding out about it.

I have to wonder how many locations like this are out there. I also have to wonder why cops wouldn't check local markers before barging into someone's house instead of just assuming the tool had to be right.

So? Numbers need to be human readable and entered by humans, too, and I've seen discussions about the proper pronunciation of 1.32. There are a number of ways that appear equally useful, but there is a convention that has been applied to remove ambiguity. And that convention is ignored in areas where other issues are more important. That convention is no more natural than writing itself, yet most people beyond a basic level of numeracy (and, perhaps, English fluency) know it. Moreover, filenames, just like numbers, need to be computer readable, as well, and conventions have been applied. Some of those conventions were constrained by the capabilities of computers of the time, just like with dates.

And people are very much case-aware. IF THEY WERENT, WHY ARE ALL CAPS COMMENTS INTERPRETED DIFFERENTLY?

How is it not data, usually key data, no less? It requires a unique path/filename combination, has to be human readable, is entered by a user. Not traditionally what one would think of as data entry, but is data that is entered and referenced. And unless you only use the recent view for finding files, knowing that the name is entered as intended seems rather important.

And perhaps I am also secretly a machine.

The lacy top makes it a lot less ambiguous. Also, the ties in OPs image look like spidey swinging towards you while the ones in your link really do not.

This shirt looks old, but I've never seen it before. Reddit has let me down again. Thanks Lemmy!

Straight guy, saw the spidey face, saw da tiddies, then saw the swimsuit laces making a spidey swinging towards me. Not sure what the bad news is, did this shirt turn me gay?
