Sounds like you live in a black and white world. Sorry, the world is not as easy as you’d like.

Trying to claim that all people who work in tech are in on sinister plots for Big Tech is cartoon-level oversimplification.

Do you understand how language evolves? It’s ok to be “wrong” as long as you’ve communicated successfully.

Not surprised. Same friend waited over a year once for a different tax stamp. Can’t imagine why other than intentional slow rolling.

Last year! Sounds like it’s changed since then.

I mean, purely anecdotal, but I had a close friend who had to do the process and it took over six months of waiting. Not difficult I guess, but it did take a long time…

You can’t easily buy one. You need a tax stamp and that’s a bit of a process. But you can buy one.

Clippy coding! Newer coders won’t get the reference, older coders can hold it with the same scorn.

Do you understand how far orbits are in general? We have satellites in orbit around earth at varying distances based on what service those satellites provide. Some of those orbits are 22,000 mi above earth, which is a super popular orbit distance.

I would still consider these things as part of earth because it’s a physical feature of earth. Same with the moon. In astronomical terms, getting within several thousand miles of a thing, is entering the physical space of that thing.

I’d compare it more to going to the 820 loop around Fort Worth. You’re not in Fort Worth, but if you lived in New Mexico and we’re going to a small town outside Fort Worth, you might still tell people that you’re headed to Fort Worth.

Hahahah, I guess that depends on which definition of acid you want to go with.
