I've been on Backblaze for a few years now, ever since Crashplan decided it didn't want individuals to use its service any more.
It's always been just janky. A bad app that constantly throws low disk warnings and opens a webpage if you click anywhere on it. Being told the password change dialogue in the app doesn't work and having to use the website etc etc.
Just all round not an experience that inspires confidence. In comparison, Crashplan just worked.
CrashPlan required, if I recall correctly, 1GB of RAM for every 1TB backed up. It got a bit unwieldy after a while, because I have multiple terabytes of photos and videos over many years.
I had this happen to me at the weekend. Someone bought a train ticket using my debit card and then (I assume) in an attempt to hide the copy of the ticket that was emailed to me, I was subscription bombed at the same time.
"they should be examining their life choices." based on your world view though. We became a very boring race only optimizing our lives for work. No alien race would look at us and think we are smart spending so much time doing things which do not add value to our society just because we can't organize ourselves better.
Just because we conditioned ourselves like this, doesn't mean its right or wrong.
And this article doesn't give us enough insight to even judge.
Birth control is not perfect. 99% is very little in comparision to the amount of sex happening in a population of 8 billion people.
Consenting adults can have sex with each other. There's zero shame in that.
And though having these two partners was unwise for this reason, it's not really a matter of shame so much as one where we should just find a practical solution that doesnt mess with the kid.
No birth control is 100%. We live on a planet were very rare situations are getting published as 'news'. So the fact that you read this news, doesn't tell you anything shameful at all. You are just biased and don't even realise it.
And no you are not allowed to shame other people for their decisions if its not clear that there is a kid getting abused in any way. People are adults and not yours to criticsize if it doesn't affect you or a 3th entity which can't protect itself.
Its your personal opionion you can easily and should keep yourself.
Nope our viewpoints are not the same like a coin with two similiar sides.
I let people do what they want to do without projecting something onto them based of my values. So my viewpoint is openness.
Yours is the complete opposite. You project your values onto them. You are forcing something which doesn't affect you onto others. You want to control them.
Its like people who have a religion/believe say you also have to believe while i say i'm not allowed to push you into something like this.
And in my eyes this is not bad behavior at least not from the information i have. I would be concerned if and only if the kid would grow up without any parent.
Interesting bias to blame the woman. How do you know that the second twin wasn't taking advantage of their identical looks to convince the woman it was the same man she had slept with the first time? She may not even have been aware that he had an identical sibling.
When I first read the headline, I thought it's about a woman who had sex with her own identical twin (and somehow that means their father cannot be identified).
So I was almost disappointed when I read it properly.
> Do you need advertising to tell you about bread, vegetables, meat?
Looking around at the world, yes?
Less-heathy takeaway chains do advertise constantly, and concepts like the food pyramid are there to literally "tell you about bread, vegetables, meat" as an advertisement for a better alternative.
People aren't born knowing this - if they don't learn it from parents, they will either learn it from someone else, or not know it and have a poor diet out of ignorance.
Not really commenting on the politics side, but do Americans realise sports betting has been legal in other countries for decades? (Since 1960 in the UK at least).
Yes, there were a few fixes when in-game betting and exchanges first came in in the UK, but by and large most problems are solved now.
Maybe a less parochial view would help them get a sense of proportion?
