Sounds like a slow and inaccurate pregnancy test more then anything else, and apparently it even works. Kinda impressive that they managed to figure it out, I guess thousands of years of fucking around paid off.

I don’t understand the hatred of OneDrive. Your documents folder redirects to the OneDrive folder. I guess you have a piece of software that has the documents folder hard coded? Be mad at that software.

Lightfire228 ,

I haven’t used Windows in a few years (and never used OneDrive), so pinch of salt time, but…

I don’t like the idea of M$ having direct access to all of my files and personal data

That and, there have been mishaps with OD deleting files

Also, i personally don’t like software automagic, especially when i don’t understand what is going on under the hood

Is OD just a folder? Where are my documents actually stored? What happens if my internet goes out? How much do i trust M$ to not bungle something or sell or leak my files?

zalgotext ,

I want to have granular control over where my files are stored. If I want them stored in the cloud, I want that to be a choice I consciously make, not something that’s defaulted at the operating system level.

So the hatred isn’t really directed at OneDrive, it’s directed at the fact that the operating system is making decisions for me, and they don’t line up with what I actually want my computer to do.

I don’t hate onedrive, but it’s frustrating when they force me to save something to it although I don’t want to

zarathustrad ,

If it lost your files after constantly fighting you about where to save them, you would.

Plus the whole not asking to install, then begging for money to upgrade a service you never asked for. Until you finally have to waste hours learning how to completely disable it and get it off of every machine you own…

That breeds some resentment.

That book of ancient law is really going to help them out.

some_guy ,

Are you saying the laws in 3000BCE Mesopotamia can’t help him get rich right now? How many library books did you read today? I rest my case.

I admit I hadn’t considered the Hammurabic Method of Revenue Generation.

some_guy ,

You just blew my mind by introducing me to a new aspect of history that wasn’t familiar to me. I love history, so thank you! Also, that wasn’t a library book citation, so check-mate bitch!

/s you know I love ya

Me, reads comments: Man there’s a lot more of the ‘college ain’t nuthin’ but debt and a piece of paper’ people on Lemmy than I thought there were.

Ya’ll are just trying to overcompensate for feeling inadequate about not going to college. If you don’t go, don’t go. It’s not for everyone. But don’t shit on and downplay the people who have the talent and ability to do so.

“It just teaches you do be a useful tool of the machine!” yeah that’s exactly what someone who didn’t go or shouldn’t have went to college would think.

Chakravanti ,

Not going to college doesn’t mean a lack of talent or ability.

In fact, going to college doesn’t mean you have either of those either.

Here, you want one of my lollipops?

jimrob4 ,

Not going to college doesn’t mean a lack of talent or ability.

I didn’t say that. Thanks for proving my point. 😊

Chakravanti ,

You didn’t need to say what you clearly implied.

jimrob4 ,

I didn’t imply it. You inferred it. Incorrectly, at that.

People that are perfectly capable of going to college choose not to. Doesn’t make them inferior. And I don’t think they are, by any stretch.

Chakravanti ,

You are just wrong in every reply. I don’t even care to write a college level explanation of it to you.

jimrob4 ,

From the sounds of it you probably aren’t able anyway.

Chakravanti ,

I know better. You’re a jackass talking shit to people but obviously know nothing worth talking to. Get a life, loser.

If he’s going back to “ancient law” shouldn’t he also recognize he’s standing on stolen land belonging to native Americans prior to European arrival?

No, no, no, not that ancient law! The ancient law that gets me what I want

I see what you’re saying, but I have this very generous interpretation of a vague passage in the bible that says otherwise.

Reverendender ,

I hear you. But i can probably find about 15 other vague references in the Bible that contradict this one. And each other.

BleatingZombie ,

You’re talking as if there’s enough contradictions to fill a 9 minute youtube video of stick figures on a quiz show for bible contradictions or something

Oh wait: youtu.be/RB3g6mXLEKk?si=fNrF8zltvVi5UOt_

yrnttm ,

I don’t think their are any contradictions on the leviathan and it gets a whole chapter in job 41.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

On the other hand, maybe the leviathan was a crocodile. Some scholars and translators think so.

yrnttm ,

I’ve heard that before. Maybe it was artistic language but they talk about smoke and fire coming from its mouth, not something crocodiles are know for.

Lol The leviathan and the behemoth mentions in Job were probably my favorite parts of the Bible growing up. When I was bored at church as a kid I would reread them from the pew Bible.

Rayspekt , to lemmyshitpost in No, seriously, I want to know

Holy cow!

I mean, yeah, this did happen. People hundreds of years ago found scary-looking bones, and imagined what they could be from. Dinosaur translates to basically Terror Lizard for a reason. That doesn’t mean that they were dragons though lmao

Supposedly the predecessors to the ancient Greeks mistook the skull of a breed of small elephants as the skull of a one-eyed giant.

One look at an elephant skull and it’s pretty easy to understand how someone would think that
