The dictionary definition shows that today it’s only ever used pejoratively:

a person who is excessively proper or modest in speech, conduct, dress, etc.

I have never once heard it used as a descriptor, as that’s not how it’s used today.

Ah, yes “trigger you” yet more sophistry. You’re not here for a discussion, but to win an argument.

Prude today is only ever used pejoratively.

a person who is excessively proper or modest in speech, conduct, dress, etc.

Note excessively.

Don’t be disingenuous and you’ll have better discussions.

I get what you’re saying, there’s an enigmatic quality about his characters, but watch some of his older movies then watch him as Austin Power’s father - he can play different, he’s just played a similar character a lot.

You, I like the way you think.

Koharka for our new Barley Beer Bank president!

More like 4 or 5 decades.

They originated with telephony switching centers.

The only time I’ve gone to my bank in the last 20 years was to get a new card, or to open a new account at a new bank.

Gotta carry ID, what’s one more card?

I refuse to shop at a place that doesn’t do cash.

Ok… And?

But someone getting a well-encrypted database is going to have a helluva time decrypting it.

Which is why we say use good encryption.

I do, but nearly all of them are awfully designed, especially on mobile.

On desktop the auto-hide makes scrollbars terrible - it’s one of the worst UI offenses in the last 20 years.

We’ve had wide screens for 20 years, yet now you fucktards decide to auto-hide the scrollbars with no way to turn off?

How about you let me decide the value of my screen real-estate?

Win R Shutdown -r -f -t 0

Haven’t used the menu in years, lol

And this is my argument against auto update.

Auto update means stuff breaks when I’m not looking.

Better to have a managed update process where I sit down, do an update, verify things work.

I get business has a different risk model that drives auto update there. Tens/hundreds/thousands of machines represent a massive risk canvas, and support for things not working is already baked into IT services.

The cobbler’s lids have the worst shoes

“Rebel” bwhahaha. Lemme guess, you just turned 14?

You need to read some history, like “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire” and Machiavelli.

Go build your own socialist/communist compound - you can do that in the US (generally, unless you piss off Hillary). Because no one’s ever thought of any of this before. (Yes, that’s sarcasm).

You’re also espousing ideas that would require a lot more of the population to get onboard with. And while life may not be “perfect”, I’ll be damned if I’m giving up any of what I do have for your pie-in-the-sky idealism.

Humanity has been on this path for thousands of years - go read the Code of Hammurabi to see exactly how little is different today from 7000 years ago.

It sounds to me like you’ve never worked on any large project - of you had, you’d know there are a million things that can’t be predicted, and that’s with much smaller agendas.

Just because your friend jumps off a bridge…

No mullets!

(Except, as you said, for wind or cats).

The key is unsweetened peanut butter.

Tastes much better then (and you have to use a small amount of jelly/jam).

IMO, Apple Butter works best.
