The world is in a bad place right now, but it was even worse of when we are right at the edge of global nuclear war in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Before that the world was on the verge of falling in the early 1940s to fascist rule of Hitler and the Emperor of Japan with most of Europe occupied and concentration camps exterminating thousands of innocent people a day.

As bad as it is today, we’ve had worse, and we made it through it to better times. It won’t come without effort, but humanity will get through this too.

Venus isn’t at all comparable to Earth… That’s a literal crazy comparison.

Some people are only able to identify the differences using hyperbole. I specifcally called out Venus as an extreme example to highlight the difference in atmospheric conditions. I did not suggest the Earth would become Venus.

but just because the atmosphere holds more water doesn’t mean it won’t also be releasing more water.

I addressed this directly.

More extreme water patterns doesn’t mean less drinking water.

Except it does. Yes, the water will be released, but not in the same geographic places and the other conditions created by climate change will mean when it rains far less of that fresh water will be usable or capturable.

I’ve yet to have anyone adequately explain how it’s not going to rain in the future…

Its a pretty well covered topic if you’re interested in an answer. Here’s a TLDR version:

• increase in atmospheric temperature means more water is held in the air as vapor instead of liquid water (and its not as equally distributed around the Earth then) The atmosphere holds 7% more water vapor for every degree Celsius.
• the disruption in the water cycle from lack of snow pack to changes in global air currents means it doesn’t rain nearly as often, but when it does its a monsoon. This means most of the water runs off because it can’t be stored, and ground soil, baked by drought the rest of the time, doesn’t absorb water either.
• at the far extreme, look at the planet Venus. Rising atmospheric temperatures boiled all water away to steam. So, yes, there is water on Venus, but not liquid or solid.

Have you considered that the evil actions of those men may contribute to the reasons you feel like shit about yourself? Wouldn’t it follow that liking those men would work against you feeling better in general?

Ah gotcha. Yep I understand that level of concern or security on their side. There’s lots of fraud perpetrated by new cloud computing accounts. I wonder if an impossible to solve puzzle is intentional. As in, have they modeled human behavior to know what a human would do next that bot wouldn’t.

If it helps, some cloud providers are even more stringent. If you ever try to open an OCI account you might have to wait a week or more for a human operator to approve before you can get into your account. Some have waited upwards of a month.

What is this test protecting? Is this for an admin console of DO or simply a site hosted on DO?

This was the moment anon decided that their own value was greater than the perceived versions of others in his social circle anon had manufactured in his head. He was confident he was worth more than those manufactured constructs. Everything after that were expressions of that confidence he had in himself.

Confidence is attractive. Now it can go two ways though:

• Benevolent confidence - where you are kindhearted and you wish to build others up because you see no risk to yourself in doing so.
• Malicious confidence - where you tear others down because you see everyone a risk to yourself.

Both can lead to success by varying definitions of the word, but I know when I get to the end of my life I’d much rather hae arrived there on a path of benevolence.

Your meme contains text. One of those words in that text is misspelled.

Some Lemmy instances use Cloudflare for protection. I know that sopuli.xyz uses Anubis instead. Both these approaches would offer scraper protection without a captcha which would certainly be a high friction event for human users. Does shitjustworks use something like this?

Your meme has a misspelling.

Its slightly worse than you may think. Prior to about a year ago there were no mechanisms available to block this type of attack from a thief from any of the big three brokerages. I give a lot of credit to Fidelity for not only developing a tool, but making it easily user accessible through the customer’s web session.

Six months ago Vanguard also had no mechanism. However between then and now, they’ve at least developed a process on the backend to put the functionality in place, but they have yet to make a tool that can enable it from the customer’s web session. So while its a bother to call in (and many Vanguard agents don’t know about it yet like the one I initially talked to), I appreciate there is an avenue to put the block on now instead of just hoping and praying the theft doesn’t happen to you. I fully expect Vanguard to make accessing the tool much easier to turn it on an off in the near future.

Schwab hasn’t even built an internal tool yet, so phone call or not, all those customers are still at risk.

Were you applying for a remote position or a position where you’d have to go to an office?

IBM got out of the retail desktop/laptop market in 2005 when they sold their product lines (like Thinkpad) to a company in China called Lenovo.

Not that I spend a lot of time shopping the black market for human body parts, but if this price list was true a LOT more people would be selling their blood on the black market if it was $297/pint. US Red Cross says you can donate whole blood (which is one pint) 6 times a year. That would be a nice $1782 cash infusion (pun intended) for most folk’s bank account.

I am, but so is the OP in the image so my statement still stands.

As I said “if”, and I too think its unlikely, but it is possible. They may have a data agregator where the customer inputs their assets and liabilities, or it may be able to compare against only the bank’s products. So if you have a single bank that you use for your credit cards, car loan, and personal checking account, it would have all of those exposed for calculations.
