  • I get the hate, but what is Microsoft to do in those situations? They have two users claiming to own the account, each with assumably the same level of proof (virtually none) and no backup recovery set. So what, they just believe the first person to call in and say “I was hacked can I have a new password”?

    Unless something that links to the owner in a verifiable way exists on the account, which isn’t available to someone logged in (credit card number used for purchase for instance), I don’t really see a way around this.

    The same thing happens with game accounts all the time. Two people with the same level of proof claim they own an account? Unfortunately the account gets marked as irreversibly compromised and permanently banned.

    <.<

    Firstly, they said $10/month which would mean an hourly rate of ~$0.60 using that logic.

    Secondly, even if they said per paycheck and get paid weekly, they would have to be making less than $2.50 an hour for that to make sense.

    I highly doubt you’d fine a place that allows for wages that low, which also has a system in place to protect unions and workers.

    High concentrations of fluoride, sure. It’ll upset your stomach. Can even be toxic if you drink too much, but we’re talking over 10mg a day, when most of the time 1L of water has 0.7mg of fluoride. So unless you’re drinking over 14 liters of water a day, you’ll be just fine. And if you’re drinking that much water, you’re already at risk of water intoxication which is more concerning.

    But in order to actually cause real harm you’re going to need to be eating large amounts of toothpaste and such.

    Edit: To put this into perspective. Vitamin A, an essential vitamin humans require, which we literally go blind without (among other things) can be toxic when you take more than 3mg of it a day. That’s less than a third of fluoride. Just because something can become toxic in higher doses doesn’t mean it’s toxic when used properly.

    My god the amount of delusion in this comment is insane.

    • Yes it is. It is undeniably true that fluoride improves tooth health, and improves your health overall as a result.

    • I don’t believe it was ever a conspiracy theory that there weren’t WMDs. At least nothing beyond some random ass people in some corner of the internet. If we are including them though, literally everything is a conspiracy theory.

    • This isn’t true. The fact that they need to pay companies for information they can’t legally get elsewhere is proof of this. If they were spying on everything, they’d already know everything and there would be no crime. Unless you’re denying that assasination attempts happen on top government officials?

    • This isn’t even something that’s been proven beyond “well they haven’t said nothing happened so that means something happened!”

    • New world order is just bullshit. There’s never any actual proof of this theory beyond “omg government officials talk to each other! Conspiracy confirmed!”

    • Take your anti vaccine bullshit elsewhere. There is a mountain of evidence to support the “safe and effective” claims, and the people who try to debunk it literally don’t even understand what they are talking about. If you cross reference their data or what they claim something means, the holes are obvious. It’s the dunning center effect mixed with “I did my own research.”

    • UFOs existing was never “admitted to” by Congress. No more than “Jewish space lasers” starting forest fires. Three people said something in front of Congress, presented no evidence, and some of it wasn’t even first hand knowledge. How is that a confirmation exactly?

    • MKUltra was not what people claimed was happening when it comes to brain washing. The claim is almost always about sleeper agents who don’t know they are brainwashed carrying out activities only when they are “activated.” While I don’t doubt this has been attempted, it’s literally impossible with our understanding of the human brain at present.

    • Are you admitting you’re a bot? Or a shill?

    • This is just a given. Many powerful people are also: Sadistic, masochistic, like being pissed on, like pissing on people, are gay, are trans, are intersex, are murderers, sleep more than 10 hours a day. This is just how things work. If you get a large enough group of people, you’ll be able to find a subset that match any criteria you set.


  • It’s been shown multiple times before that there’s no technological reason you can’t put someone in the buffer and take two out. Thomas and William are proof of this.

    The Voyager crew likely had access to the records of the Thomas case, having happened a decade earlier. Though I admit I don’t know if the information would have been classified or withheld for some reason.

    Assuming they had the information, they could have likely attempted a duplication, and unmerge one of the two resulting Tuvix’s.

    I found myself so pissed off this wasn’t even considered during the episode. It’s like they just forgot duplication was a possibility, even if it wasn’t a super sure fire solution.



  • The people aren’t the only reason, apart from their direct damages. There’s also the fact that rampant viruses literally drain the community they are in, and are a harm to the online community as well.

    Few of the people we are talking about understand computers, meaning they need to have someone else deal with it, or continue to be compromised. Banking info being stolen means more work for the fraud department of the bank, and the police, potentially even the FBI if the issue is large enough.

    And rampant viruses mean larger botnets, more computation being leeched causing more electricity usage. More online disruptions of services, and more general spam from compromised accounts trying to spread the infection.

    As for iOS, yes and no, and a clarification point. Yes, it attempts to force updates through deceptive means to get the users consent to install at some random point “tonight” which cannot be scheduled. You can turn this off, though there are many reports of this being reversed for some unknown reason. They’ve also moved to force installing security patches without consent, even if you disable the auto update.

    The clarification point, is that iPhones are some of the most locked down devices out there. Even if you manage to get an infection, the majority of the time it’s only able to work within the normal sandbox. On top of that, iOS is one of the “most updated” OSs out there. Apart from the users trying to preserve versions for jailbreaking and related tools, or devices enrolled in certain enterprise situations, you’d be hard pressed to find someone on an old version even a week after a new release.
