  In my experiences, most places with a chicken sandwich have a basic, no topping sandwich, and one they call “deluxe” “supreme” or whatever strengthening adjective you choose, which has lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc.

  It’s the topology of the object. Essentially flatten the object into a 2 dimensional plane. Something like a mug or donut will have a hole in it after flattening, these items have 1 hole. Different objects flatten into a different number of holes. It’s really hard for me to parae anything more complicated than 1 hole with my head, but that’s essentially the process.

  I do not recall the vsauce video explicitly, but this should be the logic they’re using. It gets waaay more difficult to parae on something like a human, with a bunch of different tracts and splits and shit.

  Thanks. Hoping it’s a turning point, a catalyst for her to finally stop smoking, and make other positive changes in her life.

  Every denomination has a different Bible, with different books they consider Canon. For instance, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo church has a staggering 81 books. They consider the book of Enoch canon, which almost every other denomination considers apocryphal. Interestingly, the book of Enoch corroborates a lot of information from other apocryphal texts, such as the origin of nephilim.

  Honestly, the whole thing becomes a LOT more intriguing when you start adding back in the non-canon books. And I can totally see why the church deemed them heretical in a lot of cases, they pretty well fly in the face of a powerful centralized church, and if you’re in power, seeking to maintain it, it only makes sense to destroy them.

  I always liked Stephen King’s version better. Pray for rain all you want, but dig a well while you wait.

  Want a rabbit hole of apocryphal knowledge, start digging into gnosticism. It’s like more internally consistent Christianity. Also depending on which flavor and particular interpretation, you could arrive at such truths as: Satan runs the church. God(old testament) is an asshole and a fool. Jesus (specifically the divine aspect Christ) is on a rescue mission to save God’s mom, Sophia, from the prison world that is earth, that God made specifically to trap her. Judas is a tragic hero who has to kill his friend, Jesus, so that Christ can escape the prison world.

  It’s wild, it’s a more interesting story than Christianity, and I can ABSOLUTELY see why most of these books were branded heresy.

  Mums biopsy results came back negative. Given what we knew going in, I was expecting that to be the case, but good to have it confirmed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reliable bank account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, like I said, not entirely sure it’s legal, but that’s the boat I’m in. The other banks did the same shit, charged me more, and offered me worse rates on loans. At least this one spits on it before going in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reliable bank account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mentioned in another post, but I don’t qualify for many credit unions beyond my local one that I currently use. I’ve used a few different bank options, but none of them have really been any better, and usually worse.

  Great. I’m laying in bed, and now I’m lost. Thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reliable bank account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t actually looked into any that weren’t local. Well, I did, but none that I found I could qualify for at the time. It may be worth looking into again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reliable bank account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I love that last line that shifts the onus of responsibility to the consumer.

  Really, though, I’ve gone through a few banks, and am current with a credit union. They’re better than what I got with the banks, but they’re still shady, still wont to charge whatever fees they can get away with. There’s very little oversight, and in a lot of cases you’re kinda stuck with what you get.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reliable bank account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yeah, switching institutions is always an option, unfortunately it’s not a great one here. I’ve used a few, and unfortunately this one seems to be the best in my area.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reliable bank account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If only they didn’t charge fees. My bank charges an insufficient funds fee that’s conveniently the same amount as the overdraft protection fee. So my options are eat the fee and get my stuff, or eat the fee and not get my stuff.

  I’m not entirely sure this is legal, but I was told directly by a representative that these were my options. It’s quite literally a poor tax.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reliable bank account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They mean opting out of overdraft protection. Banks typically allow you overdraft protection, where instead of denying your sale at point of sale, they’ll pay it, charge you a fee, and let the transaction go through.

  If you opt out of overdraft protection, it should instead deny the sale, and you don’t get to buy whatever. At my bank, they do this and then charge an insufficient funds fee, which is the same as the overdraft fee. It’s bullshit.

  Depending on your perspective, the sell/trade/loan aspect of physical can be a huge deal. I outlined in another comment, selling/trading games was never my thing, but it was my cousins. From my perspective, there’s marginal difference, but there IS a difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would ABSOLUTELY argue that you more own a game purchased on gog, with an offline installer, than one purchased on steam. I now see the functional difference between owning a drm-free installer vs owning a physical game, but there’s also a gulf of difference between steam and gog

  Just to be entirely fair. The rest of what you said is absolutely spot on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see the functional difference there, with regards to sell/trade/loan. You could of course emulate the functionality, or rely on the honor system for abandon ware stuff, but that’s clunky, inefficient, not worth the energy.

  I hadn’t considered the second hand aspect. Even as a kid, I was always more a “build a library” kind of person versus a “cycle my catalog” kind of person. I was considering things from an availability to play the game perspective alone. Thanks for the different perspective!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously not trying to just be contradictory:

  What’s the difference? In practical terms, what does this mean for me as the consumer? We don’t own the intellectual property, but may use the software as-is? From a practical, consumer standpoint that feels the same as the days of owning your software on a disc, unable to be taken as long as you have physical control over the device. I’m fine with calling this “owning” personally.

  I’m absolutely willing to be wrong on this. I’m by no means an expert. Please, if I have missed something, let me know.

  Well at least you didn’t call my body pasty white, I haven’t been to the lake as much as I wanted this year.

  Joking aside, I believe vsauce had a short about this, was useful to get a visual.

  I address all of this in other areas in this thread. I don’t feel like rehashing it with you, given your unwarranted aggression out of the gate. If you want to read some actual rebuttal, go for it. Otherwise, enjoy your life.
