Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the 224 (so far) comments… but another bad guy worth hating is
Hewlett Packard.

I am waiting for the day when governments will have had enough of him (unless he bought those governments because that fucker is fucking rich) - and “Elon Musk” becomes “Felon Musk”.
It depends on the booger itself. If it’s a dry one, I just pinch it into a ball and flick it across the room. If it’s one of those wet, sticky, semi-solid ones, I rub it between my thumb and index finger until most of the moisture is removed and the booger is determined to be flickable without being a little bastard and just sticking to one of my nails.
Two of my coworkers frequently mention shows like “Encounters” or “Ancient apocalypse” or whatever. I’m not the best at debating or forming arguments against these though I do feel strongly that bold claims require better evidence than a blurry photo and an eyewitness account. How do you all go about this?...
You sir, are one of those fucking amazing people who profusely apologize for not being a native English speaker and then blurt out 37 paragraphs of perfect English.
You have nothing to be ashamed of - your English is better than a lot of them native speakers ! And always remember this :
“You are speaking English because that is the only language you know; I am speaking English because that is the only language you know. We are not the same.”
And as to your original question - if I ever ask them “what evidence did you see which proves X happens?”, I have almost always been hit with the reply, “Oh yeah? What proof do you have that says X does not happen???”. And then I tell them the anecdote of the Invisible Dragon by Carl Sagan. Look it up if this is new to you, and for a more formal treatment, check out Karl Popper’s theory of Falsifiability.
I have personally converted at least one conspiracy theorist to being an Agnostic. So I know it works. Try them out, it’s fun.
And I also am not a native English speaker to be honest :-)
So I always try to go for Freeze-dried instant coffee ( especially Colombian, like Juan Valdez ), and not the Spray-dried shit.
Edit : I thank max and the OP for enlightening me about the instant coffee manufacture process. It surely appear that Instant coffee has a lot more environmental impact than simple ground coffee because of more processes involved. I have always consumed instant coffee, but were totally ignorant on this part. Dumb of me.
Thanks to the people directing me to the right way, and I will strike out my second point above.
Basically what the title says - Can my ISP see the exit node of my VPN ? I hope not, because that would be weird, and would defeat the whole purpose of a VPN....
I guess I should have mentioned in my original post that when I say “exit node”, I specifically mean multi-hop. My bad.
But even for Single hop as well, the world sees that VPN IP as my IP (although they probably don’t know it’s “me”), but
(a) Can my ISP map me with that VPN IP (“my” IP to the world’s eyes) and
(b) Can my ISP see the traffic that’s going out of that VPN IP ? My guess is no, unless that VPN server also uses the same ISP as me (but I’m dumb so feel free to correct me)
Ever since TV remote was invented, you don’t even walk up to the TV to change the channel - why the fuck you need to call us back to the office and breath over our necks? Unless you are a pervert (a lot of you indeed are) - you don’t need to stare at our faces (or our asses) to assess our work, learn to embrace the zoom age !
You reportee (who is still hanging around because the pay is okay, I can work from home, and don’t have to bear your shitface every morning)
I have tried out the combustible app, and it is pretty well-made. It supports searching through posts and comments, alongside communities, which Jerboa lacks.
A couple of suggestions for combustible -
I find it convoluted to see what all communities I subscribe to - the only way to do so seems to be via my profile. Can there be a simpler navigation ?
The comment / reply textboxes are very basic, with no formatting options (bold/italics/strikethrough etc). Would love having that.
The top banner in the Home Page is taking up significant real estate IMO. May be make it smaller to make room for more posts ?

How do you get the dry boogers out if you don’t pick your nose?
I always get dry boogers and they’re impossible to remove when blowing into a tissue.

Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore?
For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular....
