<p>'islamo supremacists', but not jewish supremacists? The ones just spontaneously moved into a land where people already lived 75 years ago aren't responsible?<p>Literally DARVO.<p>is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as abusers, narcissists, or sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. Research indicates that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.</p>

<p>If our press was honest, every story you heard about Russia would have been about Israel instead. Israel is overwhelmingly America's worst enemy and they distract from that by pretending Russia/Iran/China/Qatar is. No other country blackmails our politicians or steals so much of our money, military resources, soldier lives as much as Israel. There's no close competitor even.<p>Yet we're never told that explicitly and it's never framed as the abusive relationship that it is.<p>Makes you really wonder who the press works for.</p>

<p>I wish we had more (or maybe better yet one) software engineering union in America.<p>The trouble seems to be that it's so easy to scab (outsource) or hire foreign competition (H1b et al) which is a pretty broken program even according to some of the people whom I've talked to who are on it.<p>One multi-team architect I know working for a brand you've definitely heard of was making like $65K and doing a $250K job of it. Brilliant guy. The H1B program hurts everyone except employers' vast bank accounts and their shareholders.</p>

<p>It is privacy with respect to your ISP. A lot of ISPs are pretty shitty. Some will rat out their own customers to copyright mongrels and threaten to disconnect you - which is important when there's a local monopoly.<p>Things you connect to or <i>log in to</i> are clearly going to be able to ID you at least with in the context of the login that you use regardless of what the VPN does.<p>I'm logged into HN through Mullvad as it happens. I usually leave it on regardless of what I'm doing because what I'm doing isn't my ISP's business even though I'm pretty happy with them.</p>

<p>I don't go to McDonald's at all because not even the fries are gluten free.

<p>I was delighted to find that "expand selection" was a supported function, doubly so when I noticed that it was ctrl+w (what I'm used to and this may be from the IntelliJ defaults), but it... doesn't do anything.<p>Even selecting it from the menu does nothing.<p>An internet search turned up nothing useful. And oddly 'expand selection' is not listed in the keymap?<p>None of this makes any sense. And if expand selection doesn't work I'm simply not going to use it.<p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<p>edit: I found that (possibly my intellij mappings) remapped ctrl+w to "close editor" and I deleted that and now it works.<p>It's weird that it's not to be found in the keymap editor though... I had to manually insert it as a binding AND why would it show up as "Expand Selection Ctrl+W" in the select menu when it isn't? That's got to be a bug or two.</p>

<p>We simply don't need online age verification. It's not the state or private business' job to parent children. It's their parents job.<p>This is not only unnecessary, but will with 100% certainty lead to negative downstream affects, either via leaks, or the state being able to find people for things that aren't crimes once they're adults.<p>There's simply no good reason for it that outweighs the bad. But what it really boils down to is completely unnecessary.</p>

<p>>Not so sure about that. Handing an ID to a bouncer at a bar or similar is not logging anything. Mainly it's some big man that you can see gears turning to see if the date is correct and a cursory glance to see if the photo matches. Sophisticated places might have a scanner that does what ever validation it does, but again, it's just another cursory check of the photo. Most of these people really don't care.<p>Not necessarily true. There's a local stripclub that scans and saves the scan to fight chargebacks and the like. It is definitely logging stuff. They've told me that they were going through the logs once and the bartender ended up googling my fullname. We're cool and I didn't care, but this what you said is not a blanket true statement. I trust a physical business that I can visit far more than some ID verification company that <i>is going to get hacked at some point.</i></p>
