Isn’t Black Mirror a manual at this point?

That’s rough. I honestly couldn’t do that.

2.5 hours is wild. You spent 5 hours a day commuting?

Users are the cons of everything, including Windows and OSX

Yeah, but I’d rather have the option of a government one than yet another rando company with my sensitive data :)

Well then the site uses a different system that complies with regulations. I don’t see this as a problem, it doesn’t have to be the only service that can verify your age.

Honestly, I’d rather see official governmental third parties that handle ID verification and guarantee to discord and any service needing age verification that the user is over the required age. Not comfortable with sharing any sort of verifying data with private companies, even less american companies. I have to for some stuff, but… Not liking it one bit.

There is already a few countries here in Europe with an official governmental identity verification system, and I’m pretty sure age verification can be done through them. I think the EU is also working on a system covering the entirety of Europe, but not certain.

Except there is no ID/age verification when you create a Google or Microsoft account (no idea about Apple, don’t use that crap), so you’re suggesting that the “birthday” field where I can set whatever date I want should be a standard age verification method?

My thought exactly. Their definition of privacy is… interesting

Yes, it is. The division of a by b in the set of real numbers and the set of rational numbers (which are, de facto, the default sets used in most professions) is defined as the multiplication of a by the multiplicative inverse of b. Alternative definitions are also based on a multiplication.

That’s why divisions are called an auxilliary operation.

I’m just confused as to how that is not common knowledge. The country I speak of is France, and we’re not exactly known for our excellent maths education.

No, it should simply be "Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, addition.

A division is defined as a multiplication, and a substraction is defined as an addition.

I am so confused everytime I see people arguing about this, as this is basic real number arithmetics that every kid in my country learns at 12 yo, when moving on from the simplified version you learn in elementary school.

I have answered, and had to put “Other” in employment status because I am self employed. An option for self employment would have been useful in my opinion!

Oh yes, I am so threatened. You got me.

Afraid of what? Replying to what point? Your “shower thought” (lmao) is just a messy thought process of which every single step is based on nothing.

Why would we waste energy discussing consequences of events that will never happen?

Not at all. There is many ways to rationalize time, nothing is settled at all. The “settled theory” you talk about would create paradoxes, if time travel is ever made real. And paradoxes don’t work well with reality.

There is actually a fairly common way to rationalize time that is the opposite of what you’re describing: Time is entirely a construct, there is no past, no future, only the present. Take away all of humanity’s memories and the past doesn’t exist at all.

There’s also an understanding of time that says it only goes forward, making time travelling to the past impossible.

It’s not like we actually know how time travel would work. Because, you know, it’s not currently a thing at all.
