  • Hats off, i envy you.

  • And nukes have been rather good peacekeepers after the invention of those, so you cant really say that inventing new weapons doesn't make one safer.

    The other person explained it rather well.

    But in the face of annihilation, every possible advantage will be used. It's that simple. Long term and moral consequences are irrelevant, those can be dealt with later, but first one has to get to that later.

    If you want to get really personal aka hammer in the point. You can imagine someone who already has broken into your neighbors home and done horrific things and is now breaking into your home and already starting to abuse/hurt/rape your loved ones. There is no police. Would you not use every single possible method to protect yourself and your loved ones? Or would you have philosophical discussion with the invader while they're raping your wife/daughter/sister or cutting off the balls with a box cutter of your husband/son/brother. Those aren't even made up examples, those are real examples with videos.

  • Yeah i know, but it still suprises me. I envy those people.

  • Yeah pretty much, there's no reason to add my face into any facial recognition database in the current climate of more authoritarian levels of surveillance and with minimal trust that this data will not be sold to the highest bidder.

    And before anyone asks, no i don't have any social media where i upload pictures of myself. Of course I'm probably on some pictures on the background, but at least I'm doing all i can do avoid it.

  • Good idea, i totally forgot that angle and that would most likely work as well. Tbf i have a rather unpopular phone so it wouldn't even be that unbelievable that the app doesn't work.

    Thank you.

  • The company i work at is currently implementing such a solution.

    Complete unnecessary facial scan, it was fingerprint previously and the reader still accepts the same fingerprints as of now.

    In addition we're going to get a phone app that tracks whatever we have logged on for our shift and if not then our location and sends us a notification.

    From the production managers perspective, it fully automates working hours calculation, though he has to approve any shift change manually.

    From our perspective, it's supposed to notify us automatically if there isn't enough work for third(night) shift and notifies us that we don't have to come. Though we do still get paid for it. Good EU workers protection laws.

    Personally I'm rather on the fence about it. I'm most definitely going to refuse the facial scan on the basis that fingerprint works as well and anything more is unnecessary. Though still thinking a good reason to refuse the mobile app and tracking part.

  • Of course it counts, probably one of the best reasons to do it.

  • If only

  • Thanks, i never really thought about it that deeply, though you're right.

  • So you're training for trainings sake too?

  • Feeling good is a rather good goal and rather beneficial in forming the habit of working out.

    Though don't be afraid of lifting some weights, getting swole is actually rather difficult and not permanent. While the most basic resistance training, in addition to cardio, can provide myriad of health benefits up to old age and will make day to day function easier.

  • Good job, bro. Just stay consistent and you're bound to see the results of it.

  • Day 1571

  • No arguments over that one.

  • And there's the point, we need an even bigger stick to deter them from using their big stick, which will result in them creating an even bigger stick to counter our big stick, which will result in us creating an even bigger stick to deter them.

    Drone warfare is just a next step of that old pattern that can be traced back to the beginning of human civilization.

    Now if russia already has autonomous drones, then we most definitely need those and better ones and more to deter russia from using their drones or at least to counter russian drones.

    Other option would be to just trust someone who for the last few hundred years hasn't been really keeping their word on not attacking us or any of their neighbors.

  • If only

  • Wasn't even close to it. Turns out that one needs to do actual crime for in order to go the prison. Passable grades and not having any great future plans isn't something criminal and police doesn't really care about that.

  • I'm more curious about how people have sex that spontaneously in random places?

    It takes up to hours to get into the mood and any random place is likely uncomfortable and distracting enough to lose the hard earned mood.

  • Day 1571

  • Noup, that should not be forgotten until russia leaves, because forgetting them, means less support from other nations and less support means that Ukraine might not win.

  • AI can do that as well now. Anything digital or with computers is out now.

    So off to the mines for as all. For our glorious overlords, of course.

  • If only

  • Couldn't have been that, clearly the psychologist was wrong. My mothers loins could never produce such a defective offspring.I was just lazy and had to properly apply myself or otherwise I'd end up as a public fleshlight in a prison.

  • Cant disappear from social media if you really weren't there to begin with.

    Though i fall in the bottom left corner, always training, though not for something. Training just to train more.
