Have you ever tried faking your parents signature to get out of school? I have

Yeah. I've been able to do it since I was 10. It's really easy. I can also fake my husband's and siblings'. It's also a pain in the ass to change your signature. So if someone learns to copy it (like say based on the signature that was literally required to be on the card), it's much hard to change it compared to a pin (which should definitely not be written on the card).

I struggle to think of what that extremely secure infrastructure would look like. Are you imagining signing on an electric terminal and having a computer compare signatures at the time of sale? That seems like the most secure and still wildly insecure compared to a pin.

And, the next ultra-big step: How would a non-techie figure this shit out?

They don't have a computer, another computer with a different OS, or bitwarden.

Do you think signatures were at all secure? If they cared about security they'd do chip+pin like most civilized countries.

You work at IBM or something? Who even still uses VHDL?

You can't see something small right behind you with that.

I'm doing that anyway. I have a fixed work schedule and can't be like "Eh, I have enough money, I'm just going to work 35 hours this week." It would be amazing if I could, but I don't know many people who have that option. So since I pretty much get the choice of working 40 hours a week or not working, I'd like to maximize my other time.

It's about 40° C

Would a younger kid have understood what was being talked about or would it have gone over their head like the dirty jokes in kids cartoons? If the latter, the filters did their job. Neopets was probably one of the rare instances where parents actually signed the permission slips for their under 13 year old kids to use the social aspects. I know my parents did and it was the only site they ever did that for.

Someone easily scammed

Dictionary definitions are nice but rarely capture the full meaning of the word. Connotations of the word are pretty important.

If I say "I tolerate that behavior," you can probably infer that I don't like that behavior based on the connotations of the word tolerate. It invokes a negativity toward the subject.

Similarly for consent. The examples bear this out: medical treatments, business trips, and short notice are generally not pleasant things.

It doesn't automatically save anyone. The CEO isn't personally murdering anyone. Their policies don't go away. The health care industry isn't magically made better by one CEOs death. It leads to a slight chance of health care reform as the comic states. But we actually have to do more to get that outcome.

Wonder if it was a poll during 2020. COVID really highlighted cleaners' jobs as essential.

We did the same. It was called every 15 minutes. They started with a teacher instead of a kid though. We also got the wrecked car and dead students. But they had the drunk driver teen live and show us them going through court and being sentenced to jail.

It wasn't to blame Democrats. Amy Coney Barrett and the make-up of SCOTUS just changed roughly 4 years ago.

The point being made is that "unconstitutional" doesn't exist for Republicans anymore. Since the court decides what is and isn't constitutional and they've given up any attempt at appearing not to be partisan hacks, what the Constitution says doesn't matter.

If you have to qualify with not part of the one of the three branches of government, your argument doesn't really hold.

Intuit and H&R Block.

No, that was certifying the election (where Congress counts the electoral votes). Inauguration is the 20th.

6 days until that happens.
