To be fair, a Person with a PhD still can have Dunning-Kruger on other subjects.

Ben Carson is a great Neurosurgeon, but dumbass on politics.

Sorry to bring linguistics in to this, but this is why irratates me about the English language. This joke would not work in Chinese.

我在上班的路上看到一只狐狸。

Which is literally: I, on the way to work, saw a fox

You cannot rephrase it like the Dad Joke above:

我看到一只狐狸在上班的路上。

This would be: I saw a fox on the way to work

But it would not contain the double meaning of the "I" being the one going to work.

But, somehow, in English, you could just move the words around and make it very confusing.

Ugh 🤦‍♂️

(Sorry about the rant)

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

He transformed into a squid and flew away from this wretched planet.

Probably on the way to Alpha Centauri on a Squid-Spaceship

🦑🚀🌌

Its probably better place than whatever this hellhole we live on. Perhaps, its a planet of Hyper-Intelligent Squid-People! (Squids are some of the smartest creatures, according to certain scientists, who knows what Earth could've been without Humans)

Maybe they'll even have their own Squid Game? 🤔

(Wait, what does a planet of Squids call their Squid Game? 🤔🤔🤔)

Cool, lemmy test it:

Oh shit its lemmy.world... oh well, see y'all in the mod logs 👀

Better yet, redacted by lemmy.world admins

My parents just pull the "mix cheap catfood with the expensive catfood" trick

You had me till the "work" part 😾

 

If you murdered every murderer, you should get enough points to go to The Good Place, right?

Hypothetically speaking of course. I'm obliged by lemmy.world rules to state that I do not condone murder. 😉

 

Especially in cases of Naturalization.

Like, if the monarch goes against the constitution, do you fight for the monarch, or defend the parliament/cabinet?

🤔

Edit:

UK Oath:

I, (name), swear by Almighty God that, on becoming a British citizen, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles III, his Heirs and Successors, according to law.

Canada (A British Commonwealth) Oath:

I swear (or affirm) That I will be faithful And bear true allegiance To His Majesty King Charles the Third King of Canada His Heirs and Successors And that I will faithfully observe The laws of Canada Including the Constitution Which recognizes and affirms The Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples And fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen.


So...

🤔

I mean on the one hand, they are more democratic than the US, on the other hand, symbolically, it just feels wrong to me.

I don't mind pledging allegience to a constitution, but to a monarch... is quite... uncomfortable, even if its a Constitutional Monarchy. 🤔

 

To re-iterate, every place gets their own separate room. You must be physically in a place to join their chatroom.

 

Stop using encryption, why do you want "Military" technology? What are you, some kind of terrorist? /s

 

Like, there's a lot of people freaking out about Apple ending End to End encryption in iCloud in UK. I'm just like: So What? It was probably backdoored from the beginning

So is Big Tech's E2E actually not backdoored? Or is that just a PR stunt to trick people into trusting iCloud, and this is a secret honeypot? 🤔

What are your thoughts?

 
 

Okay so I'm Gen Z so for the older generations, this might not make sense to you. But basically, this is my experience with life as a Gen Z:

When I was in high school some years ago, everyone in my class had smartphones, and I did, but I'm horrible at taking care of my stuff, so I kinda just broke a lot of phones.

When I was in Middle School, I had one in like Grade 7, I broke it in like about a year, then in Grade 8, I also broke in in a year. It was some budget phones that did not have any water resistance, and did not have gorilla glass like modern day smartphone do. So, I don't even have to explain, I don't remember what exactly happened, but its probably a combinations of drops or water damage, plus budget phones are very poorly designed. And in Grade 9, I also got a phone, and broke it in a few months. And, since I didn't really have a job (already stuggling at school and my parents were not struggling financially in any way so... yea there was kinda no push for me to get a job, don't judge pls), and my parent's weren't very happy with me breaking stuff so often, so I never got a phone ever again. I mean, they could afford it, but they were reluctant, and I didn't wanna push for it since I felt bad for asking.

So basically I spent like the rest of high school not having a phone at all.

When ever there was a class assignment that required doing online research, the school would often not have any chromebooks available (this was in like 2018 to 2020, for context), so teachers just asked the class to use their phones to do research in class. So there was valuable class time that I WAS UNABLE TO DO THE ASSIGNMENT. 🤦‍♂️ And this happend quite often. So often that I lost count. Probably over 100 times throught highschool. So I just sad there, bored, doodling on a piece of paper. Sometimes its worse when it was a CLASS ASSIGNMENT that aas due at the end of class, and the teacher had to ask a classmate to lend me their phone, or the teacher had to lend me their laptop so I can do the research or whatever that it was. Makes me feel like a caveman lol and I felt awkward af.

Also, my acquaintances (I never felt like they were "friends") all have smartphones, but I didn't so we kinda didn't have a connection outside of school. No jokes, no shittalking teachers behind their backs, no meme sharing. I kinda felt left out. I mean it didn't even matter if I had android, MMS groupchats still would've worked, and some circles used discord.

But I didn't have a phone... so FOMO to the maximum. And thats probably why the acquaintances remained acquaintances.

These days, everyone is on their phones. If yiu didn't have one, you stood out. Like the standard thing when there was no assignments, boom, everyone pulls out their phone. Substitute teacher, boom, everyone on their phones. Lunch time, boom, phones. On a school trip, phones. Any "downtime" is apparantly phone time. And of course, its fueled by boredom, before phones, people probably just got bored and stared into space. So I get why people use their phones. But they could also TALK TO EACH OTHER. Today, if you tried to have a conversation, you're a weirdo. Its all just Instagrams, Snapchat, and lately, fucking TikToks 🤨 (circa 2020).

So at lunch time, I'm just some weirdo doodling, or finishing homework assignments because why do it at home, when there a whole free lunch period that have nothing to do?

And the worst thing is this thing called "Kahoot", its a classroom game thingy where the teacher sets up like a "game room" where the class joins it using their phones to answer (class related) questions, sort of like a quiz, or sometimes its just a fun practice thing. And you get a score for getting it right, and also extra point for getting it faster. So sometimes the first place gets extra credits, sometimes the 2nd and 3rd also get extra credits. But you need a phone to participate, and I don't have one. Meaning, no chance for extra credits. Like, Fuck My Life lol.

So yea...

TLDR: Everyone these days just expect you to have a phone, in school, in social life, in work, everywhere, and, according to society, you're a "weirdo" if you don't have one.

 

So I learned that if a MicroSD card gets snapped in half, its unrecoverable.

Okay, so suppose you were in war, and enemy soldiers were about to raid you. You just snap the cards in half and the data is un-recoverable, right?

 

I'm talking like photos of important moments of your life, and perhaps deceased loved ones or deceased pets. Maybe favorite TV, Movies, Youtube videos, stuff that might be lost when you get released. Let's say like 1-5 terabytes worth of stuff.

Hard Drives at home wouldn't be an option, since they'd get confiscated. If you bury a hard drive in the woods, it could get corroded.

I was thinking foreign cloud, but then you wouldn't be able to keep paying the subscription since they'd probably try to seize your assets.

"Lifetime" cloud plans are kinds shady, I'm not sure if I could trust them.

So... what are the options? (Hypothetically)

And yes, budget is a huge factor. A person facing persecution would not have billions to create a dedicated building to store an archive.
