That does happen, but mainly through automated mass means like phishing and ransomware. Individuals also get targeted by tactics like romance or finance scams. I think you could probably see how a large corporation would be a more lucrative hacking target worth a lot of dedicated time vs. one individual.

I’m guessing it’s straight into the military

I had a gf who considered herself Christian. Not someone who talked about it a lot, but I guess she has some belief. I have a fairly negative view of organized religion in general. She really wanted to start going to church and I was um, wow, sounds horrible. She looked around found a church with surprisingly cool people - not at all bible thumpers, or full of pretentious nonsense, hell and brimstone, none of that. They support LGBTQ, operated a homeless shelter, gave sermons about pro-abortion rights and astronomy. I was pleasantly surprised. Still I ended up determining that I didn’t want to wake up at 7:30 each Sunday to go there. I figured out that she viewed church more as a social club and some sort of tradition from her family.

If it was someone drastically different, like talking constantly about reading the bible and telling me I had to convert and basing half their life around it, absolutely not. I not only am not interested myself but I think it would illustrate some negative aspects of their personality that I don’t want to be around. I had a gf who owned a retail store and people would come in and tell her ridiculous stories about Jesus healing people when they were missionaries in Africa. Later she’d tell me and ask “Do you think that was true? Jesus really DID THAT?” and I’d have to be um… no. That lady sounds like a liar or a psycho, sorry. Not great for a relationship. It turned out it was just some feel-good thing for her. She didn’t read the bible or really know anything about scripture. Just thinking “magic jesus loves me” made her feel good. I’m only really vaguely religious but still I can’t respect that.

Compared to how long ago? I haven’t noticed any changes.

Oh, I see. Just an idea. I was wondering if maybe they’d block or redirect you.

The prices vary based on how much usable meat there is in the cut vs. bones, and how much work went into cutting it. Wings are mainly bones for instance. It can also be how fast it sells, so the risk the packages will spoil before they’re sold and what quantities they order or produce it in.

You can go to grocery store sites and set your location to a specific store, and look up items.

Anyway I looked it up at my local Walmart (Arizona, US) and boneless breasts are $2.69 a lb, boneless skinless thighs, 3.49, and wings, $1.19 a lb. Ten lbs of chicken leg quarters, $6.50. So it doesn’t seem to have gone up a lot.

Yeah. I have celiac and would very much regret eating a sleeve of saltines.

Yes, of course. The largest is the Moscow Exchange.

Welcome. If you mean reddit as in the company, yes. They’ve been trying to make the site more attractive to advertisers in the past couple of years.

Make onerous rules and restrictions. Hold posts for moderation and make them answer questions. Don’t accept the answers. Shadowban regular contributors.

I’d guess they would start saying Hitler was a really good guy.

Maybe just say the neighbor moved away

I’ve heard people call doing a u-turn “whipping a shitty” and always thought it was a dumb term.

PT cruisers are fuckin straight. Decent cargo space, completely invisible to cops. Some mechanical problems but whatever.

They’re sent like a phone call. Afaik there is no confirmation on the network whether the device received the message.

Taurine is an amino acid that’s an esssential nutrient for cats.

Proteins are just amino acids. You can find the same proteins in plant foods as meat. There are other details about what different types of basic foods contain, of course, but it’s theoretically possible to create something that contains all the same nutrients as meat out of plants.

I had a Jack Russell who was crazy about eating out of the litterbox. Just horrifying, obviously. Maybe it tastes like meat, idk, who knows what it smells like to a dog.

I recall seeing in a special card at a Chinese restaurant “Pigs Blood with Mixed Vegetable”. Sounds awful to me but some people must like it.
