At minimum this shows a physiological difference, which in turn indicates a genetic difference. I'd liken it to looking for missing keys: we may not know *exactly* where they are, but we know what room they're in now.
The "is there a biological reason" question has long been answered, and with as much certainty as science ever provides.
Bro, same! For the same reason, too! Somebody complimented a shirt I was wearing and I lived off that high for a solid year, lol. Figured I could share the feeling around some.

Idk, that protocol is really susceptible to CiiM attacks (cat in the middle), which makes reliability a bit of a crapshoot. There was an RFP for QoS over Avian Carrier submitted a while back though, so maybe one day.
What I will give you is that it's fairly trivial to misconfigure security settings in Linux. It tends to take a "Whatever, I'm not your mom" approach to most config changes, which makes it really easy to make dumb choices.
For example, you can enable ssh on a default port, enable password authentication, and allow passwordless sudo. Give it a public IP & you'll have an attacker in your system in under 30 minutes, all without so much as a single "um...you sure about this?" confirmation
I liked the part where you added a link to all the Linux malware and the list starts with "few if any are in the wild, and most have been rendered obsolete by Linux updates or were never a threat" 🤣
No OS is 100% safe, but Linux is undeniably targeted less frequently and (historically) has been harder to write malware for. It's not "entirely safe", but it's impossible to argue in good faith that it's not "safer" than Windows as a daily driver.
Follow @hoopsnek ! They post uplifting stuff just about daily and it's the only notification that makes me open this damn site more or less immediately
I really want to feel that way, but I was brought up in a conservative home, went to fairly poor schools, dropped out of high school at 16, and still managed to end up an adult who cares about other people and has basic media literacy and critical thinking skills. 🤷♂️
I think it's more likely to be "graffiti" than a real ad 🤷♂️
San Antonio always struck me as "the place you live in TX if you want to live in Austin but you have kids". Not quite as conservative as Dallas, not quite as weird as Austin, that kind of thing. Cool to hear it's getting more progressive!
Right? It's like yes, technically pi goes on forever but for most practical purposes 3 or maybe 3.1 is really all you need. 🤣
Tell me about it. I'm old enough that none of my childhood systems are even on there 😭
By the time the N64 was released, I'd been gaming for almost a decade already...
@OP is Hoopsnek. They drop these wholesome posts more or less daily, and there's a legion of us MFs here who are ride or die for the dude/dudette/dude-person. I'm calling on them to run for president in '28.
No idea about their actual qualifications, but I suspect anyone who's willing to spend their own time finding, downloading, curating, and posting uplifting stuff --for free, everyday, just to try and make strangers smile-- can't possibly do worse than 99% of our current politicians.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say it.

#14 oh man, Tony Hawk, what a cool name. There used to be a skater with the same name, wonder what he's been up to...
as a dude who's never had long hair: why? I mean I get that they're basically a giant, oddly shaped petri dish, but I'm going to want a shower after playing in one regardless of how much hair I'm rocking.
Help a brother out? Why do your luscious locks make a difference?
#21 Last night our 5 year old heard his mom mention that his messy room was stressing her out (she was modeling (read: over-acting) gratitude for him after I hung up some of his clothes)
Fast-forward 20 minutes and he's refusing to come read stories with me until he finished picking up his toys. He's mixed-type ADHD, and it was honestly the most focused I've ever seen him. He wouldn't think of doing it for himself, but he'd do about anything for his mama 😍 (I would too, she's pretty great ❤️)
Not a "valid" source, but I was a projectionist & supervisor at AMC in the very early '00s and this was 100% accurate for us back then. We also had to carry insurance against the physical film as well since we only leased it from the distributor, which further ate into profit.
That was a quarter century back though, so plenty of time for shit to change, especially considering the move to digital.
Idk if this is just me being a grumpy old man or if my attention is shot because of the modern Internet, but I feel like we enjoyed movies way more when we had to physically borrow them.
Alternatively, I wonder how many shitty movies I convinced myself I enjoyed because, welp, that's the only one we've got this weekend so....🤷♂️
Can your boss legally fire you for going to a protest? Ours can.
If yours can, could you still get medical care? We cannot.
You also likely have social safety net programs like food assistance, housing support, etc. Here you can't qualify for those if you make above $3k/month or have more than $3k in assets, or if you don't work for 3+ months. Oh, and average unemployment length is about 6 months, so ...have fun starving I guess.
Tax records for real property are generally public record. We need to start protesting on the streets of elected officials homes.
To be clear, this is not a call for violence, but it is absolutely a call for disruption and the threat of violence if peaceful means fail.
I keep saying, this is what protests are SUPPOSED to be! They are the civilized way of saying "...or else", but we've trained our government that it can ignore those warnings and no "or else" will come.
It's time to bring back the "or else".
Friendly reminder for the class, "shown up at doorsteps 1000+ strong" is exactly how protests are supposed to work. Protests are supposed to be a threat. There's an implicit "...or else" attached to them.
Another friendly reminder: property tax records are often public, and people tend to pay more attention to demonstrations outside of their homes than those miles away downtown.
It's literally the opposite of what you're saying. The issue is that, for many of these forensic "tests", they don't stand up to peer review whatsoever. They are being passed off as "science" without following the actual scientific method.
People want criminals caught, these methods help get convictions, and so for a long time we just assumed "well it has science in the name, must be science". Turns out, it's not science at all, and that specifically is the problem being called out here.
Back in the early 00s I was delivering pizzas and made regular deliveries to a lovely older woman named "Sha-theed". Except it was spelled "Shi-thead".
I hope she wasn't, but I'm fairly certain when she was growing up that everyone called her shithead.
Japan in particular is worried about it because there have been more people dying than being born, every single year, for like...almost two decades now. If rates continue unabated they're estimated to lose like 40 million people over the next two decades (meaning 80 million die and only 40 million born in same timespan)
Sad part is, there are almost certainly hundreds of guys with this much skill making $hunger/hr because we've (society at large) entirely stopped respecting physical labor as a worthwhile vocation.
I can honestly remember being told I "need to go to college so I don't have to be a plumber". What a fucked up thing to say!
Hey hoop, you doing ok? You do so much for us and I don't think I've ever asked how you're doing. You're easily my favorite person that I don't know, and I hope you're doing well.
"Confuse, don't abuse"
When I was a teenager we'd sometimes hang out at night at this shrine / memorial thing near the river. It was just outside of this little town with all of maybe 300 people, so we could get stoned and no one would bother us because the whole town was asleep.
I think it was technically a Madonna, but it faced out to the river and the back side looked just like this. Except it was like 20 feet tall and had a glowing halo.
We called it "The Holy Dildo".
It's 100% about money, just the opposite of how I think you meant. Detention centers aren't being run by the government they're subcontracted out, largely to private prison management firms.
No prizes for guessing which political campaigns the companies who won those contracts donated money to.
The cruelty you mentioned is what they use to appeal to their bases, but the money and power is why it's happening in the first place.
