Normal person: ¬(Garbage | Trash) = okay to put here if it is not garbage and not trash
Computer programmers: ¬ Garbage | Trash = okay to put here if it is not garbage or it is trash, but since garbage and trash are the same thing and ¬P | P = 1, it’s okay to put anything here

As stated in the previous comment:
There is risk, of course, but it is not market risk
I understand and agree with everything you said.

- Comment on Anon is your financial advisor 5 days ago:
This is not investing. I did not ever hold significant amounts of cryptocurrency. People would ask me to sell them crypto and then I’d buy it on a crypto exchange and then sell it to them.
I do not believe holding cryptocurrency qualifies as “investing”. It is much closer to gambling as the entire valuation is purely speculative. I get that all investing is gambling to some extent, but it’s not the same as stocks, for example, because holding stocks gives you voting rights for a company’s board of directors and entitles you to a portion of the company’s profits in the form of dividends.

Ah yes. How to get by without a job:
- Fraud (false warranty claims)
- Theft (stealing coins from vending machine)
- Gambling (crypto)
- Literally just self-employment (starting a drop shipping business/flipping things on eBay)
- Comment on Anon is your financial advisor 6 days ago:
You can make significant money by trading crypto peer-to-peer. It is incredibly risky but you can make around 6-7% profit after fees. I made around 2,000-3,000 USD monthly, moving around 40,000 USD in volume. The main risks are chargebacks and account closures.
It wasn’t free money, of course. But the effort-to-profit ratio is pretty high once you figure out how to weed the good clients from the bad (scammers who will pay, receive crypto, and then dispute the payment).
Do not ask me how to do this and do not reply to anyone who comments below claiming to know how, because they’re probably a scammer.

- Comment on I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. 1 week ago:
That doesn’t do the same thing, I guess the goal is really how to draw the outline of a circle
- Comment on I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. 1 week ago:
It’s more complex. In Photoshop, it’s a single tool. In GIMP, you make a circular selection, convert it to a path, and then stroke the path.
Not only is this more convoluted, it’s bewilderingly unintuitive to beginners and is definitely one of GIMP’s shortcomings.

It sucks, but honestly we have to pick our battles and I don’t think a three-to-six month delay is really worth fighting to the death over

I’m pretty sure there’s a GIMP plugin that does that if that is all you care about
- Comment on I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. 1 week ago:
I doubt that GIMP will ever overtake Photoshop. Adobe has the money to employ (and does employ) hundreds of experts in their fields to work on Photoshop for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. Although GIMP is very impressive as an open-source project and a massive testament to how far the free software model can go, it is still, at the end of the day, made by a ragtag band of (mostly) amateurs volunteering their time. Adobe, by brute force, can deliver a high-quality product just by having the resources to employ better people to work for them.
- Comment on I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. 1 week ago:
Just a cursory glance, but GIMP still doesn’t seem to support additive curves and CMYK support is still rudimentary and needs a plugin

For a real Photoshop vs GIMP discussion, I think I’ll leave a link to Franklin Veaux’s Quora post here.
tl;dr there is actually a lot of functionality in Photoshop not present in GIMP that most casual users will never use, but is very important to professionals. People don’t pay hundreds of dollars to Adobe just for funsies.

I think for a real Photoshop vs GIMP comparison from the eyes of a professional, I’d like to share Franklin Veaux’s perspective. He’s an author, graphic designer, and the infamous local polygamist.
- Comment on Amazon union workers and the Teamsters have inked a deal 1 week ago:
Unions help workers in all positions, but their effect is more noticeable when the worker has comparatively little bargaining power. When workers already have a large amount of bargaining power, such as in most white-collar jobs, unions don’t provide as many benefits than if workers have very little bargaining power and are easily replaced, such as in most jobs involving physical labour rather than mental labour.

- Comment on What happens to my domain, website and email when I die? 5 weeks ago:
You are correct. Once a domain registration expires, anyone will be able to register that domain again. If they set up a mail server, they’ll be able to make email inboxes to receive emails sent to that domain.
If you have a website or blog that you’re hosting on the domain, once the resignation expires, the server might still be up but nobody will be able to access that site via its domain name from the public Internet using that domain name any more, as the A/AAAA records pointing to that server will be erased. If there is nobody to pay the hosting bills, then the server will eventually be taken offline and all the data will be deleted. If you self-host, the data will stay on that server’s disk(s) until your heirs sell or recycle it.
If you want someone to continue running your server and keeping up your domain registrations, you will need to arrange that before you die. Otherwise, it will all likely be whisked away into the ether.

I mean to say that for some medical ailments, the treatment is smoking. The treatment for smoking addiction can involve vapes. The treatment for many mental disorders can involve cannabis.
You’re right that it’s not the foreignness of the substances that is the cause of harm, but rather the nature of the substance and the amount consumed (which is usually a substantially large dose compared to others)
- Comment on Alan Bates considers private prosecutions of Post Office bosses 2 months ago:
Yes, because for every one Alan Bates case, there are ten cases of billion-pound companies abusing this right
- Comment on Reefer Madness 2 months ago:
Doesn’t matter what you’re making, none of it is good for you.* Some substances are much worse than others, but at the end of the day, whether that substance is crack, cannabis, or nicotine, you’re still inhaling a foreign substance.
* unless part of a medical treatment regimen prescribed by a medical professional
- Comment on Alan Bates considers private prosecutions of Post Office bosses 2 months ago:
Yes I do. Of all the options available, this is the best one. Any other option is worse by comparison.
- Comment on Alan Bates considers private prosecutions of Post Office bosses 2 months ago:
Why the fuck do private prosecutions still exist? It’s the 21st century. If only the CPS could prosecute I doubt the Post Office scandal would have even happened, if only because they’re more thorough than the Post Office idiots
