I'm not against religion, but that's not how evidence and proof works. Do you have any proof that tiny invisible pink elephants aren't hiding in your fridge?

Where do you live? I live in the US where people are deprived of rights to bodily autonomy, gender affirming health care, and regularly brutalized or murdered by the state. In most western states, not deprived of legal rights might say more about you than the state

Incognito/private are a bad name. You should pretty much use this to not save history, or to log into a site without using saves credentials and assume it's otherwise exactly the same as a normal browser session

I doubt that premise. Neanderthals looked different, but not uncanny valley. Horror and fear may have been involved sometimes, but so was sex and competition... Neanderthals probably just looked like big chinless people

Student loans for in-person university. I'll be paying for that for a long time.

Eventually dropped out and finished my degree with WGU. I highly recommend that for anyone considering a college degree. I was able to finish with PELL grants so I added no debt and have a degree

Cuneiform scripts were frequently coppied by scribes, so the theorem could be even older

That comment meant anything that needs root will prompt for it WITHOUT you running as root. Running GUI apps as root directly won't work well (1, it isn't a good idea. 2, your user likely owns the X session)

is that a point for or against bears?

This isn't DOS and probably isn't a FAT filesystem. Tilde isn't a wildcard in linux

In high school, i was watching a movie online free and got a popup from the FBI. I panicked and closed instead of paying the $99. After the panic cooled, I was so glad my panic response is running away. Clearly a spam popup

I think you misunderstood. they don't restrict it to be petty. Allowing lots of concurrent downloads means paying for more bandwidth, or it means the site goes down.
