Turnitin is such garbage. I hated it in grad school in the mid 2010s, I can only imagine how fucking awful it is now.

As for the DMV thing: You sweet summer child.

Lol, dude, I’m in my early 40s. Go to the DMV and try bribing a government official and report back. Please. I beg of you.

Um, having direct access to pull my government photo ID is a huge deal. Lots of online services require photo ID or other more in-depth verification to pull loans and stuff. So yes, this new vector IS a serious concern.

And paying someone $50 at any DMV? C’mon, man, that sounds like some unfounded bullshit. Hardly anyone is going to risk a cushy government job with solid benefits and great hours for fucking $50, let alone the potential risk of going to jail.

Yeah, people already browse porn with zero privacy precautions, so linking their fetishes to them would be trivial. The main concern is having yet another privacy vulnerability vector for identity theft.

Wording it that way does really put it in perspective. Absolutely insane estimates for what they “need” to continue operating for the next ~4 years.

Jfc, he spent $20 million of taxpayer dollars to defend himself in court? Why the fuck do politicians get to use public funds to legally defend themselves?

More context needed. Sometimes my kids are savages, so yelling does occur on occasion. They’re usually pretty great, though.

Edit: yikes, people took my comment way too seriously. I don’t literally think my kids are savages, jfc. No shit, you shouldn’t yell at your kids. I typically don’t. But, I am not perfect, and neither is literally every single parent. We’re humans and there are days where we have shorter breaking points and our feelings get the best of us, especially when your kids are being super energetic, chaotic, and not listening to anyone. The important thing isn’t NOT yelling 100% of the time, it’s apologizing and explaining what happened to them afterwards when it does get the better of you.

Tbf, those types of jobs have a higher degree of turnover and thus need slots backfilled more frequently. Trades jobs can be pretty fuckin miserable, especially ones that are incredibly physically demanding as you age.

Gotcha, that’s what I was thinking as well. I haven’t done any software development in a long time (I have a degree in it, but professional career sent me down another path in tech), so my memory on input sanitization is very rusty. Thanks for the response!

What about quotes (single/double) and \s mixed with commas?

Why wouldn’t they be? Is it illegal to record people without their permission in the EU or something? Clueless American here.

Jfc… Aren’t those tests extremely basic, requiring a modicum of coherent short to long-term memory retention and logic?

Not to defend the antagonistic guy above, but you’re either extremely unlucky or not being fully truthful. I’ve had nothing but Samsung flagships for over a decade and have had literally zero issues besides minor annoyances, especially with the Note line the last 5-6 years. iPhones aren’t built poorly, so I won’t rag on them. But to use your purely anecdotal evidence to declare Apple as offering a superior quality phone to all Android vendors, it feels dishonest as fuck.

Is there a specific reason you strictly need static ipv6?

I’d agree the US peaked in the 90s. 2008 really fucked us for almost a decade, though. Economy had essentially recovered by 2014/2015sh until COVID. I’m almost 40, so most of my adult life has been plagued by crisis after crisis.

It’s pretty good compared to, say, 100 years ago. But is it better than, idk, 10 years ago? This is highly dependent where you live, of course. But, in the US, I can 100% say life was better a decade ago and people weren’t outright rejecting intellectualism en masse.

That was his entire goal. He was very smart and knew those attacks would trigger the mania it spawned, pushing American culture down the path it ultimately took.

That’s the way it’s been used in the US since 9/11/2001. Not sure about other places.

Yeah, you can just not need/want those specific products for a number of legitimate reasons.

Yeah, it can be tough to balance it. Sometimes, especially if it’s a loved one, just listening and letting them vent and then offering if there’s anything you can do to help/support them is all they want. Even if you have something that’s directly relevant, it may not be the right time to share. There isn’t really a silver bullet guideline to these types of things since it can be very context dependent.
