Regardless of whether or not you agree, that's not a "whatabout", that's an and.

There are many things where it might be a good idea to preserve physical records before they are destroyed and the digital ones are altered.

Anyone taking bets on whether or not they'll be using AI for the reviews and the over-under for false positives?

Yeah, I went back and changed it to a strikethrough to avoid more confusion.

People always get pissy about these generation things. It's not about some people being better than others. There was a period of time where being able to use a computer meant being able to take a tabula rasa machine, install an os using a bunch of disks and a large manual, and figure out how to fix anything without the internet. There was also a period of time where home computers were becoming common. Those two periods overlapped and created a group of non-professional people mostly (MOSTLY) born between 75ish and 85ish that are much better able to use and troubleshoot tech than people born before or after.

But you always end up attracting a bunch of douches saying "I was born in (whenever) and I have a degree in (whatever) and I know more than people blah blah blah." Yeah, I'm not talking about professionals or hardcore hobbyists, I'm taking about regular jerkoffs that had to figure this shit out without specialized education or the internet. It was a unique period that created a group a people different than what came before or after. No judgement, it just is. For some reason certain people take offense to that.

Thank you, autocorrect strikes again.

You're all educated professionals. This meme is more about your average user.

Yeah, this is more young X and old millennial. Xers born in the late 60s-early 70s and millennials born in the late 80s-90s don't know shit.

I've heard us (young Xs and old millennials) described as the ~~organ~~ Oregon Trail generation. We grew up along side the tech so we understand it better than your average person from before or after.

I don't know what these are made of, but rarely using them might make this more likely. A lot of PU will degrade like this if it just sits around but will last a long time if used regularly.

If you've ever had a pair of shoes with a PU sole that sat in the closet for a year or two and when you went to get them the sole was all gummy and/or crumbly, but you had a pair from the same company that you wore regularly that lasted years, you've experienced this.

It's been a while, so correct me if I'm wrong; but isn't the gift moving on to something else after a mortal life? If I recall correctly, elves are stuck in the physical world forever. Even when they die don't they just go to some limnal place for a while then come back?

It's almost two entire sections, with just a little of North America, Asia, and Antarctica. And then some on four others. It's obvious from a glance, no other body of water or land mass comes anywhere near that.

And if you still don't think that's vast enough, maybe a lifetime of bad projections have given you a distorted view of the Pacific's size. Mercator and Mercator like projections definitely make the Pacific look much too large near the poles.

Have you seen The Basketball Diaries?

I don't know what's worse, those dipshits that never take the time, or the ones that come in sick because sick days are for impromptu golf days.

 

I apologize in advance of this is too basic a question for this community.

I just learned about lexisnexis and went to their website to request my report, opt out of everything I could, and request my information be deleted.

Are there any other companies like this I should be aware of so I can make the same requests there?

If it matters, I'm in California and it's my understanding that I have a few more rights concerning this sort of thing than some others do.
