  • In the 2000s I worked in IT and we hosted a spam filter. Back then people would send out seemingly harmless email, about Jack’s golf game or the picnic on Sunday, and their goal was to build up their domain’s reputation as a legitimate sender. Then one day they’ll send out spam and it’ll get through the filter until the spam filter catches on and cuts off that domain.



  • Food is produced for people to eat so then why is it so expensive? In other countries food is affordable and it’s obvious that this is the way it should be. I see a lot of people talking about their grocery bill increasing in the last year or two, but I’ve seen a steady increase over the last 10+ years. Food has been expensive for a while.

    I hope you all are cooking- rice, beans, chicken or veggies, soup, etc and not just buying frozen dinners. That stuff isn’t affordable. You can get giant bags of jasmine rice and pinto beans at Costco. They are huge and cheap.








  • I think in life we struggle so much to survive and to care for those we love, and when people we love die it is very difficult. I think most people probably have a natural sense of right and wrong in regards to treatment of the dead. I don’t know that this is a continuation of a person’s right to governance over their body, I think it’s more of a general reverence for life and death that we all experience. I’m surprised to learn that in California where I live human remains are treated like any other property.



  • Nobody needs my comment but here it goes. I don’t take it personally, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t have any issue with people’s answers. I know that many people have PTSD and bad experiences and they’d prefer to avoid weird situations like this.

    But privately there’s a part of me that likes to solve problems and consider everything for myself. I think the question is set up to imply danger by comparing a wild bear to a strange man. If the scenario were different I would expect different results: You are hiking in the desert and you become lost and you have no water. After several days you see a man who offers you water and directions. Do you choose to turn away and continue into the desert or do you accept the man’s offer to help provide water and directions to safety?

    I have had traumatic experiences with people and one day I realized that I was negatively effected by them and I chose to start practicing Jiu-Jitsu where you need to be in close contact with people as you struggle to gain advantage and win points. I no longer feel the same fear and apprehension about being close to people like I did before.

    If people feel a certain way I just wish them healing.
