I looked at the picture and thought for a straight minute that this is a tiger… Like, photographed from further away

Wenn die Karte regional beschränkt ist, haben die ja anscheinend mehr Kontrolle über die Karten, als bei einer normalen Debitkarte. Wird also wahrscheinlich nicht lange dauern, bis der Kauf von Gutscheinen gesperrt wird…

The exception to the rule. I am working in a smaller company as a software engineer, I could count myself as a weeaboo… and lots of my colleagues. And there’s at least one furry (that I know of). I would say 50% of the engineers might actually be affected by this rule! (Totally representative of course /s)

Definitely the real one, the last sentence is like a signature!

I don’t think so. The carrot eating fish was a puffer fish.

If you read your linked articles and surveys you will see, that they’re even arguing against your argument.

Just to quote some stuff:

David Hemenway, who led the Harvard research, argues that the risks of owning a gun outweigh the benefits of having one in the rare case where you might need to defend yourself.

“The average person … has basically no chance in their lifetime ever to use a gun in self-defense,” he tells Here & Now’s Robin Young. “But … every day, they have a chance to use the gun inappropriately. They have a chance, they get angry. They get scared.”

“If we don’t even have a minimum standard, not for training, but for performance validation for our law enforcement,” he says, “how in God’s name is anybody going to say, ‘Well, just because you have a gun in your pocket, you know how to use it in self-defense?’ You don’t.”

And some of the other stuff seems very biased:

The largest and most comprehensive survey of American gun owners ever conducted suggests that they use firearms in self-defense about 1.7 million times a year. It also confirms that AR-15-style rifles and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, frequent targets of gun control legislation, are in common use for lawful purposes, which the Supreme Court has said is the test for arms covered by the Second Amendment.

The online survey, which was conducted by Centiment in February and March of 2021, was based on a representative sample of about 54,000 adults, 16,708 of whom were gun owners. Georgetown University political economist William English, who commissioned the survey as part of a book project, presents its major findings in a recent paper available on the Social Science Research Network.

I mean, a survey for owners of guns… Of course if you own a weapon like that, you will tell everyone that you use it for self defense. And probably enough people who say they did that, just lie…

I do the same, but it’s because of the streaming services, they got themselves in this. I am just wondering if you make these posts to tell your unpopular opinion or just to fight with strangers… quite the history you have there

Where could someone obtain this mysterious knowledge?

It would be funny, if his whole existence wouldn’t be so sad for the world…

I first thought the guys cleaning the ducks are butchers… That would have been quite the different way to help going through a phase…

Exactly this. Any employer trying to put private devices into their MDM is totally unprofessional anyway… Most MDMs allow access to the GPS Data and have a remote wiping function, it would be a privacy mess for the employee AND employer.

Ahh, yes, tracked eight hours of refactoring today…

Yeah, same here. In Germany WhatsApp is extremely dominant. I tried to move to Threema, but only a couple of people are using it in the end, even after discussing the whole Facebook thing. Some people are also on Signal, but again, only a few. In the end, especially for groups, I still have to use WhatsApp.

In Germany it also works as expected. I remember that we always pressed it like crazy in university when the elevator was already very full, so it didn’t even open when it stopped before the ground level.
