Doing a “hack simulator” would likely be easier in other languages, so you will hopefully run into some problems regarding acquiring and presenting the information, which I imagine would give you a decent understanding of the flow of data in python.

I’d say “Go for it”, doesn’t sound too advanced and not “hello world”-simple either.

I’m too stupid to walk backwards through the 4th one, so I guess I only experience 3.5 dimensions.

Extra virgin

I prefer lightly fucked.

Screw it, I’m not picky, give me the full slut.

Quite the contrary, it’s properly structured and leaves no room for misinterpretation, given that the reader can, well, read.

Are you assuming that Google, which, as far as I’m aware, is an international company providing service to a multilingual userbase, has less than 1% non-native English speaking users?

I mean, I don’t care much how Google advertises itself, even companies I do like sometimes make an unlucky promotion and that’s fine, but I do find the arguments in this comment thread to make some wild assumptions.

That just expands the question: do they not know about other countries?

Many of us have certain connotations with google, and while we know the game in our native language, it’s not the first thing we think about when thinking “Google says: I spy”.

I personally feel, as that is how I experience it, that thinking using your inner voice is just another layer on top of your more basic consciousness which of course is layered on top of your subconsciousness, as, at least for me, using the inner voice is something I do to acknowledge and analyse a feeling i already experienced.

Experiencing the thought and using it for making a decision usually takes 100ms~1s, and trying to articulate it for communication to other people takes seconds to minutes.

Communication by talking is painfully slow, discussions would be so much more exciting if we could just send thoughts or ideas directly.

If it’s a more complex problem, like confessing love or being angry at someone, then I’ll flash through multiple thoughts, options, and consequences in quick succession, perhaps followed by the usual slow recreation of a hypothetical situation in a theater of mind, which is often supported by, but not centered around, my inner voice, and which I imagine is much more similar to articulating everything you think.

To clarify, this theater of mind is heavily centered around emotions. It expresses these using visualized motions and direct feelings, both in my own position, but also if I were in theirs. The inner voice usually sets the speed, as I can only think so fast using it. Without it I might jump around, from scene to scene, marking each with a feeling, state, or emotion that I wish to achieve, and then later revisit each scene and adding the voiceover.

Again, I cannot but believe that everyone also experiences that first step of just flashing through thoughts before living them out in your mind.

Please apologize my long answer, this is very fun but also somewhat challenging to talk about, as I have only ever experienced my way of thinking. I’m sure you understand. :D

I think that’s pretty much the same as asking “do you dream in voice or in images”. I’m sure the vast majority of people use a mix, and not one or the other.

That said, it’s just a feeling? Like, you feel pulled towards or repulsed by one or the other action.

Strong sensations might even have a “blitz” or snapshot of the possible future, but without blocking or occupying your eyesight. Something really bad might have you see yourself or others in tears, or whatever action is likely to fit them given the situation.

I wouldn’t say that I think in images, at least not purely. If it requires deep thought then I’ll spell it out in my mind, and if it requires speed (such as simple math) then I’ll just skip the voice and use the abstracts of my mind directly.

Gel, shampoo, balsam, shaving foam/cream, and roll-on deo from Neutral/Minirisk. Simple, cheap, safe. And the best thing? It doesn’t trigger any allergies.

Though, I do use aftershave from Matas, and oil from ecooking.

I think that covers most of my self-care products.

Isn’t this the plot of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann?

@[email protected]’s thought process seems perfectly rational. Contrary, your continued belittling of and attempts to force OP into the role of a mentally ill person appears almost like a superiority complex or obsession, uncannily so.

You’re likely a wonderful person who just formulated yourself in a very unlucky way, but OP would surely have spoken up if they needed help.

PIA being owned by the same scammy company as ExpressVPN does not necessarily mean that it itself also is bad, but one should keep an open eye on them.

Like I said, I haven’t found any evidence that ExpressVPN sells their customer data, even though it might be likely.

Thank you, but I already know that study.

My problem is, that while it makes a satisfying click noise and temporarily feels good, it also sometimes becomes itchy or perhaps slightly painful afterwards, and I just don’t like that feeling.

Your idea makes perfect sense, though I think it’s not only embedded in culture (parenting), but also in our nature as humans.

I’m tempted to say that humans are born curious, and by extension, most humans like to share their knowledge or more often their opinions. I know I do.

Yes, but I’m trying to wean myself off of it. Partly because it feels like destructive behavior, and partly because it must be annoying for others to constantly listen to me cracking my knuckles.

Thank you very much, we should always strive to back up claims with relevant links and data, no matter if it’s common sense or how trivial it might seem.

While the quote and linked paper give a good picture of the VPNs and their controversies, such as ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, and PIA being under ownership of a less-than-trustworthy company which also happens to be specialized in malware and surveillance, I did not find anything that directly supported @[email protected]’s claim.

The only controversy (except questionable ownership) I could find in the article was a few paragraphs lower regarding the Andrey Karlov assassination, where ExpressVPN denied the existence of logs but investigators somehow still managed to extract a serial number of a computer(?) after a datacenter raid. Not sure if I got that right, but it would fit the established profile from this comment chain:

ExpressVPN, on the other hand, told investigators it did not have any logs or customer data on a server in Turkey, which was raided by Turkish authorities, according to Hurriyet Daily News. According to the site, authorities said the server was used to hide details regarding an assassination of a Russian ambassador. ExpressVPN released a statement about the incident.

It’s almost midnight here, so please correct me if I missed something.

Oh, and nice paper, has a good, natural flow and appears to keep technical jargon to a level where anyone should be able to draw well informed conclusions.

Thank you for the heads-up. Do you have any articles about this?

Expressvpn is about 10$ a month, so 5$ would definitely be an improvement.

… Please do not fuck that.

That is the world we currently live in.

Quite some work left to do to achieve a sociaty with universal basic income, if even the technologies developed for the purpose are twisted and used against it.
