@worldsendless Depending on the situation, inbox filters that go to Trash might help.

The character would probably feel some embarrassment, although the third point strengthens the case. The friends would probably find the belief reasonable, but their degree of belief would depend on what they consider a "divine entity".

There would be less doubt and less embarrassment if the setting includes substantive evidence for the existence of divine entities, even if no such entities had been directly observed up to this point.

Further, depending on the setting, the character might alternately suspect some kind of simulation, especially if they are familiar with the mediocrity principle. In this case, the friends would probably doubt this hypothesis, but not discount it entirely.

As epistemic rationalists who are friends, they are likely to discuss the topic at some length with genuine curiosity.

As instrumental rationalists, the risk of strained friendships due to the lopsided power dynamic, regardless of the answer to the divinity question, will be common knowledge.

@thor @evelyn Nord is shady enough that I wouldn't trust them even if they offered a package like that. Besides, vendor diversification is usually better for privacy. For example, my primary search engine also has a browser, but I don't use the browser.

It's *slightly* more meaningful than a fortune cookie, but just so. The problem with the MBTI is that it treats the four "dichotomies" as bimodal. Lots of people are near the middle - about half of people who re-test get at least one different letter. But adding those "middle" categories would mean 65 more types, so the people making the tests don't bother.

@jalefkowit@octodon.social Maybe will the thing to a charitable trust?

By the way, the French term for "operating system" is "système d’exploitation".

It's L1 interference. They say "operativsystem" in the Continental Scandinavian languages, and "sistema operativo" in several Romance languages, including Spanish and Italian.

@icedquinn @drq Do you mean all recycling, or mainly plastic?

@deshipu@mastodon.technology @chartier ProtonMail is kind of a special case because messages are encrypted on the server and decrypted client-side.
