Well, IRL hacking doesn't have exciting gameplay mechanics. So more realistic hacking game might not be such a clever idea.

A friend of mine was applying for a job where they required "at least 5 years knowledge with Angular version X.Y.Z" (can't remember the exact version, but they asked for all three numbers).

He said "I've got 7 years of knowledge with version X-2 to X+2".

The HR person was like "But you don't have 5 years of knowledge with version X.Y.Z, so you don't fit for the job".

The real fun part was that version X.Y.Z had only been out for two years at that time.

Thanks for more insight.

I've seen some AOC memes but didn't really notice her beyond that. Again, European viewpoint. She doesn't really make it into European news.

That doesn't mean the dumbass won't try to pull some sketchy shit and I honestly wouldn't put it past him to try.

I read something about right-wingers trying to claim that the 22nd amendment only says that nobody should be elected twice, so if Trump gets into office without getting elected, everything is fine. So their plan is to get someone else elected in Trump's stead and that person should then just appoint Trump as the new president, because according to them, that's apparently possible. And with their surpreme pile of garbage that they call a court, that might just work.

Scary times.

And in the end they just yell at a menopausal woman who can't afford hormone replacement therapy.

True, but the one who gets inconvenienced the most is the poor minimum wage fool working at the dealership.

Seriously: That guy is worth half a trillion dollars. Even if he looses 99% of his wealth, he wouldn't actually notice. It wouldn't change one thing about his living standard.

I've seen a 3DS in the Technical Museum in Vienna.

There's no proof for or against God, just by the simple fact that God could just not care and not get involved, and such a God would be neither provable or disprovable.

The only position that can be logically drawn from that is the agnostic one: "I don't know whether God exists or not, and I don't care. It doesn't affect me.".

Atheists on the other hand are in a position that doesn't logically follow from the evidence. They believe that there is no God. It is a belief, because it cannot be logically derived from the evidence. And there are lots of Atheists who live their atheism like a religion. They study their literature to build a belief system, to find evidence, to disprove others. They meet up (online or physically) to talk about their non-belief and to hone their arguments. They strongly defend their position in discussions. I've even met Atheist missionaries who stand on street corners preaching that God doesn't exist.

To respond to your quote: Not playing tennis would be agnosticism. Atheists are running around the field, following the players and shouting in their ears that tennis sucks. They are playing, just a different sport.

"Don't have a religion" includes

  • Atheists
  • Agnostics
  • Spiritual but not religious people
  • Religious but unaffiliated people

Saying "don't have a religion" equals atheist is like claiming that everyone who didn't vote for Trump or Harris is an anarchist.

Try adding up ethnic groups. If you count Jewish as a separate ethnicity, you get an estimated total of 225% and even without Jews it's still 195%.

The voting in 2020 thing was probably not a guess or estimation, but a remembered factoid from reporting around the last election.

I'd like to know how large their sample size was. I mean, this was yougov, so I expect at least some level of credibility to this, but depending on how large the same size is and how biased your selection is, you can get some really weird numbers.

E.g. do the same study with some old KKK members or with a school class in a black, impoverished neighbourhood or with a group of CEOs and you will get very different results.
