Also late 90s Midwest here and I got similar information. We also got completely untrue info like if you jizz in a hot tub and a girl gets in she can get pregnant because the sperm will swim into her vagina and from long distances away.

IANAL, but employment law is generally “it’s allowed unless explicitly forbidden”.
There is no right to be hired so they’re allowed to include any limitations on who they might hire except for those that are illegal. For instance they can say “we refuse to hire people who live in Illinois” but they can’t say “we refuse to hire Muslims.”


Yes this is weird, but it’s OK to be weird. Keep doing it if you enjoy it. Anyone who tells you to stop can fuck themselves.


The question seems to be designed to find people to look down on, but since you’re asking. No.
My phone is a Moto g7 Power running LineageOS 22.2. My car is a 2012 Ford Fiesta SE Hatchback.


If you’re just a rando, yeah you’re not going to have much to worry about. They also can’t track everyone. But it is certainly possible for high value targets.


My understanding is that there is an expectation of privacy in the USA in the contents of a sealed envelope. I don’t believe that the government can legally open one without a warrant. According to the case Ex Parte Jackson they can’t. However…
You have to trust that they wouldn’t break that law or someone else wouldn’t open it. Depends on your threat model. And as others have said, the government would know who you are communicating with, just not what you’re saying.


It is coding for the lowest common denominator of user – those who use the same easily-guessable password for everything. Making them click a link to login is honestly better security.
Of course there should be an option for those of us who have a TOTP app and use a password manager.
I have a similar situation and I’ve landed on “my first duty is to my wife.” What that means to you may be different than what it means to me, but that’s where you should start IMO.
To the TL;DR question, absolutely it’s ethical to be more upset as more bad things happen.


Even if you love your job, you’re going to grow to hate it, to a certain extent.
Yes, I got a job in a line of work I like and now I don’t like the line of work because it’s my job. I associate it with bad things now.


I think it is interesting that relatively recently it became possible for furries to wear suits that allow them to express themselves in this manner. How many people throughout human history wished to be able to do this, but couldn’t because the “technology” simply wasn’t there?


I am not a good person to ask because I’ve never been asked that question. My only suggestion is to try to discern the tone of her voice when she asks.
You are allowed to ask “are you serious?”


It depends on the context. Does she expect a serious answer? Do you feel comfortable telling her? If so you may want to use quantitative measurements (ie., an accurate length in cm/in) rather than vague adjectives like “big”. One person’s “big” is another person’s “average.”


Well the WNBA season is nearly over so that might be some of the reason you’re not hearing anything.


Check to see if the files are named appropriately as well as the other suggestions here.


You can say it. It’s legal as long as it’s not deemed a legitimate threat. If you disclose specific plans about how you might do so, expect a visit from the FBI.


“Carl’s Jr…fuck you! I’m eating.”


No. People even in the beginning of civilization lived for much longer than 38 years.


This is kind of why I like going to Microcenter. They do the “hey, how’s it going” thing, but it’s in a really professional way. And if you tell them you’re just looking they back off and let you stand there for 20 minutes. And if you ask for advice on something, they’ll give you suggestions and detailed explanations about why they think that way.
