How do they detect it?

Are we talking commercial VPN like Nord or Proton? What about something like Tailscale to connect to your home network?

Do you have any tips for writing professional documentation? I want to do some for my workplace but it’s hard to know where to start, how to arrange it, etc

As someone who both dislikes westerns and liked the first Red Dead Redemption, everything I’ve heard about RDR2 makes me think I would not like it at all.

It sounds like they took a great game and injected it with mindless busy-body gameplay mechanics. I’ve barely ever heard people talk about the story, which doesn’t really help sell a game that’s a sequel to a story focused game.

Holy cow. It’s like someone thought “the human race isn’t using enough single use plastic, how can we pump up those numbers? Maybe we can tie it in to the basic consumption of tap water.”

Well if we go by Dragon Ball Z rules, the change will happen in another timeline, and he’ll come back to this unchanged one.

But are we talking a fight before one side backs down? Or a fight to the death?

Hey guys, relax, I heard Oceania just had a massive victory over the Eurasian armies.

I think it’s a bit of a stretch. The businesses reasoning was that the severe weight of the staff member would interfere with performing the job, claiming it was “a full house” and that it wouldn’t be possible to walk around properly in the venue. That can easily be formalised as an OH&S concern.

As long as they did it in a professional manner, I don’t think that’s promoting fatphobia, which is being claimed, even though I’m pretty sure obesity is not a protected class. The fact that part of the article tries to support the case by saying the film contains fat jokes shows there’s not a lot of weight to the case.

Maybe they could go for workplace bullying, but that won’t work for an isolated incident.

I’m not trying to imply anything. I’ve just never had a feeling about my gender so I don’t really understand the concept. I was born a man, I present as a man, but I can’t say that I feel like a man, I just feel like me.

I’m afraid I don’t understand what violating the binary means, and it still seems to me that presenting female with a beard does not fit what I thought the binary of gender was supposed to mean.

So being non binary is more of a feeling than a state?

Isn’t the idea of binary having two socially defined entities: man, woman. Having someone who defies either definition is non binary. Opposing the idea that you can only be one or the other.

Conchita dresses half way between man and woman. Dresses, skirts, long hair, make up, beard. Even the name Conchita Wurst is a wordplay for “vagina penis”.

The example of a male presenting as female or somewhere between those two seems within the exact definition of non binary.

Maybe I’m ignorant, but by definition that seems non binary to me. Unless “non binary” no longer means non binary, and now it has some new trendy definition.

Does Conchita not count as non binary?

I should really just relax
la-la-la

In Stargate “Ancient” is an old latin style language (the Ancients are connected to early human civilisation) and is spoken like a variant of actual Latin when it is shown to be not understood by characters that are present. When the scene is strictly Ancients in the past the actors speak english for the benefit of the audience. I think it’s worth pointing out that in Stargate, most modern aliens speak actual english for no justifiable reason.

wouldn’t the signs be in the Latin alphabet as well?

They were in the original release of Star Wars (1977). Lucas changed them to an alien alphabet, I assume to help show that basic isn’t just english, but allowing nerds like us to translate them for fun. I actually think the concept of basic didn’t exist when he made the first film and, like the many other changes to the series, was retroactively applied as the non-english universal language for that galaxy.

Again, plenty of films/TV just use substitution ciphers for alien languages that are definitely not english in canon. Stargate Atlantis has Ancient text that can be deciphered into english letters, but that’s just an easter egg for the fans.

If the story is translating the spoken language for the benefit of the audience, there’s no reason text can’t have the same justification.

There are plenty of films where the language is translated to English for the audience, and then a third language is spoken by characters to show that the characters using the primary language wouldn’t understand them.

I think basic would sound different from english, and then when we see characters speak in a different language it’s to show that they are multi lingual and can speak in a way that other characters wouldn’t be able to understand.

I had a friend who was really annoyed that there was a Scottish accent in Force Awakens. I said that none of the characters are speaking English in-universe, so any and all accents are just analogies for how each character is heard. Nope. He was still annoyed because there’s no Scotland in the star wars galaxy.

I didn’t know there was a remake. Thanks, I’ll check it out.

I didn’t mind the sequel but the third film, cube zero, was crap.
