Whoops! Looks like my comment to ——> ? got deleted. Here’s that reply that ne still hasn’t answered:

I might be missing something, but it seems like you’re just seeing the effects of a progressive enhancement.

Fortunately, this is actually part of the new way the internet will work. So this isn’t a “Google” thing. Windows already implements this feature, and MacOS has some kind of implementation of it (because of the bio authenticators), as does iOS.

Small point of clarification: the ids were a unique key, not necessarily an ID, and not necessarily used to identify anyone (any record).

So basically, ne either believes that black holes don’t exist or that the radiation from objects near black holes don’t exist or can’t be photographed, despite looking directly at evidence to the contrary. Trolls gonna troll. 

What’s that? Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of you being off-topic still. Come back any time you’re ready to discuss!

Sure thing! An example of a non-literal fact would be “Action will destroy your procrastination”. You see, it’s a fact, because in the context of the phrase, action taken is mutually exclusive from procrastination. But it’s non-literal because it uses figurative language and context to be unspecific. Action doesn’t…

Do you think the opposite of “literal” is “metaphorical”?

As someone who has crossed words with me before, I should think you would know: I’m not stuck here in this thread with them. They’re stuck in here with me.

Ignoring literal facts because you don’t know anything and facts interfere with the ignorance you spout. You people never change.

It was intended as satire, if you can call it that.
Affluent white journo in New York just DOESN’T GET IT. Ha ha! Isn’t that fucking hilarious?!

Yes. And this is an image of a photograph. Try to keep up. It might help if you did more than skim. 

What the fuck is “basically” a drawing? Every image you see on a computer is just pixels. Every image is composed of the data that makes those pixels.

Well, to be clear, I’m not suggesting anything untoward. You can be into someone and never act on it (or even feel the desire to act on it). When you got something good, it’s easy to not want to do anything that could put it in jeopardy. But that doesn’t mean you turn off your emotions, either.

I’ll add Cowboy Bebop to that list.

My biggest appreciation for Gourmet Makes is that it tends to answer all my questions. If I see someone telling me “do it this way because X, Y, and Z”, I tend to think “Okay, but couldn’t I just A, B, or C, instead?”, and no one ever really answers that. At best, you get a “That should work! But, I haven’t tried…

Why is the denouement of this article written as if China has banned bitcoin, rather than bitcoin mining? There’s only 4 million bitcoins left to mine. At this point, the only thing a ban on mining does is give China a stronger position on alternative cryptocoins.

Me too, Mr. Tyson, me too.

This leads to fun moments, like working out an elaborate plan to access a treasure chest located on the other side of a pit that involves jumping across half an area, then realizing once you have the chest that there was a switch nearby that would have gotten the job done in seconds. Whoops, but still fun.

Hey, as long as your opinion can’t translate to meaningful action, have whatever dumbass opinion about it you like! Congrats on a successful broadcasting of your entirely inert take.
