So was unlocking the taskbar and dragging it to the left side of the screen, bow you literally can’t. Apparently you can modify it via registry but half the buttons stop working because it isn’t designed for that.
Crazy that that was what made me switch years ago…

Thanks for the extra info, I’m not from the US so I was going just from the information provided by the comment above.

If lots of states allow cops to require you to provide your name and you don’t, isn’t that refusal to comply with a lawful order, and thus a crime?

You are lumping together sensory signals (feelings, sights, sounds) with the internal decision making of your brain (beliefs).
I think you are confused by the literal definition of belief, because as it is defined, a belief is anything you think is true, specially without literal proof. There’s tons of stuff we believe are true without certain proof: math, science, memory to a certain extent…
Let me explain, not everyone is a mathematician, not everyone is a scientist, especially an absolute expert in every field. What people usually do is they it trust in people that are experts and they believe that what those say is true because they have proven it to another collection of authorities, and we believe that what those authorities are trustworthy because X. There’s papers about it and I can looks them, but I and most people probably won’t because I decided to believe in their words. That core belief on science, on the fact that the science as we know it is correct (which is again dependant on the interpretation of the universe we currently hold being true which we don’t know…), is something people don’t offer recognise as a belief, but it is.
What you believe to be true will affect how you process what you see, what you hear, and how you ultimately act.
It’s important because it’s the deciding factor of almost every actions you consciously take.
Let me say that I’m not, in no way shape or form, saying belief in a religious tone. I’m using the literal definition of belief of the dictionary.

No he wouldn’t, his philosophical viewpoint is a belief in itself. So important to him that he revolved his life around it!
You are assuming that belief = religion, but that’s waaaay off. Belief is anything you don’t know of, and I would argue that there is extremely little we do know at any given point in time. Right now I believe that the window in my room is opened because I can’t see it, and even if I looked at it, I’m believing that my eyes aren’t defying my reasoning.
Belief is what defines us as individuals, every kind of assumptions we do, anything we try to remember, any intuition we have that’s based on experience aka memory, it’s all small figments of our belief system.

I really hope they do, or either allow Devs to publish games only on the good console. Having to release for the S if you want to release Xbox at all is a nightmare that needs to stop, it’s gonna get harder as time goes on.

Inflation makes goods aka stocks increase value, which makes rich fucks that live on loans be able to then ask another loan for a bigger amount to pay off the loan from before just because their assets passively rose in value.
It’s the scam by which the ultra rich live by doing absolutely nothing while the rest of us that are saving for a house or whatever see our savings year by year diminished.
Yeah fuck that.

It’s a reference to Goya a Spanish painter.we don’t really know if this painting was about chronos, that’s a theory.

That’s the sentiment that allows these rich fucks to avoid paying taxes without big backlash. First focus on collecting, then on spending…
- Comment on Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever 2 weeks ago:
It’s more nuanced though. Here’s how rich people use charities to gain wealth:
Rich person has tons of money that would be taxed if bill Y passes. Rich person creates a charity and donated 20% of what they would had to pay to the IRS to the charity, with that money the charity uses half for good causes and half is given to X lobby company, which then lobbies politicians to avoid passing that bill.
In the end, the rich person saved 80% of what they would had to pay.
Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.
This is a very rough outline of how they do it, but the summary is that they use charities to donate to lobbies while skipping taxes on the donation itself.

That dollar amount is higher than what several presidents of European countries earn. I’m sorry but if a project is based on donations from around the globe, you can’t then think of a salary that’s one of the highest in the world.
I read all of the comment chain and I perfectly understand that in San Francisco or LA the rent is huge and that people earn those numbers. If I’ll ever consider donating part of my Spanish salary, looking at that stupidly high number heavily disincentives me because what the fuck, living in one of the world’s most expensive places and expecting for people that live with a third of that money (with a salary that’s considered high!!) to donate is super entitled.

The language is python and it has short circuiting aka in an and condition, if the first block isn’t fulfilled the second one isn’t tested because it’s unnecessary.
Same with or and the reverse.

I’m pretty sure that the second page is depicting the scene before the rape takes part, both natives look displeased because they were forced to be there. And the left one could be a kid.
Idk what’s being whitewashed in this metaphorical rape illustration tbh.
