Sure the brain may survive, but will the consciousness that you identify as you survive?

Yeah that competition really did demonstrate what an awful service all those media monopolies provided.
You can just hire cops to be private security, no tax dollars necessary. The neat part is that even if they aren’t acting in an official capacity, they can still use police resources (like squad cars), wear police uniforms, and they’re still police (with all the same privileges, lack of liability, and license to murder).
someone’s self awareness of the limitations of their own knowledge and willingness to defer to experts.
This is a cornerstone of ethics in engineering and many other discipline that I feel is being shouted down daily by a crowd that clearly never took a philosophy or ethics class. Even among engineers it seems to be an increasingly unpopular attitude. It seems to have become popular to praise the braggart and shun the ethical self aware.

Literally the only reason I’ve ever used it is so that when I start typing a web address in front of someone, Google doesn’t “helpfully” autocomplete.
Aren’t there any other sites that start with p or x?
Nope. Your reading comprehension skills really suck. I’m not having this fight with you. You’re reading comprehension skills are so bad you’re not even arguing with me. I didn’t say ANY of those things. That’s all you.
Read what I said again and try harder.
Those are bad pranks. Nobody is defending bad pranks.
Yeah, all comedy is bad because I heard some bad jokes lately. Better trash the whole idea of jokes. Same energy.
The_Donald started as a trolls joke. The Flat Earth movement started as a joke. There’s always going to be some group of idiots that doesn’t get that they are the butt of the joke and instead lean into it unironically. This whole sub is in danger of getting taken over by those idiots.
Stephen King.
King of Horror.
He has written hundreds if not thousands of stories over the last half century. So many of those have turned into Blockbuster movie, lame TV movies, Indie films, and TV shows. We can argue later about how “literary” many of those stories are, but his impact on popular culture today is undeniable.
Although he has occasionally written or said some cringey things out of touch with the current zeitgeist (who hasn’t?) and has struggled with his own demons, from what I’ve seen he has always demonstrated that at his core he’s a decent human being struggling, like we all do, in a scary world.
Clyde Butcher is one of the greatest American landscape photographers since Ansel Adams and a true hero of modern naturalism. Not only does he hike out into the swamp under conditions that would make most here wilt like cotton candy in the rain (see other comments), he often does it with camera equipment that is ancient, heavy, and bulky by today’s standards.
The biggest danger in the Everglades isn’t leeches (not at all common), brain eating amoebas (just keep your head above water), snakes (most would rather just slither away), snapping turtles (only aggressive when trapped), or gators (generally slow, predictable, dumb, and avoidable); it’s ignorance. The swamp isn’t a place into which you’d want to be dropped off unprepared and unequipped, but neither is LA of New York City. Clive Butcher walks the line between tough man and sensitive artist, cottage-core and goblin-core, Lorax and Crocodile Dundee.
Clive Butcher also did a landscape photography series of Salvador Dali’s home town that really opened my eyes about the scenes and settings in many of Dali’s paintings. It becomes clear that although surreal, many of the landscapes in Dali’s paintings are actually surprisingly real places painted literally but adorned with surreal characters and objects.
Capitalism by design will always overwork labor. In this example, the employees finally feel their workload easing but soon enough there will be fewer of them doing the same work they’re doing now and the individuals that remain employeed will be overworked again.
It’s not a headrest. It’s whiplash protection.
These kinds of opinions cannot be held by rational adults without being racist and hateful. Squashing that kind of fascist rhetoric early isn’t banning free speech; it’s not an agenda. It’s just demonstrably true that his rhetoric is intrinsically racist and hateful. So the troll, comes whinging around here trying to stir up so more drama because that’s what they feed on.
Self hosting a VPN isn’t going to help hide traffic from your ISP though. Even if you “self host” on a cloud instance or rack elsewhere, you’ve still got ISPs there who will see all your traffic. Unless there’s some other magic implied that I’ve overlooked?
If the resolution is high enough, readers of comics, newspaper, magazines, textbooks, children’s books, maps, etc.
She has three, he has the fourth.
