Updates generally don't require settings resets. It can happen if there's major changes but that's the exception, not the norm. If Chrome updates revert settings to default with any degree of regularity (I actually don't know if they do, I haven't really touched Chrome in ten? years) that's either gross incompetence or sheer malice.

Considering that OP's teachers apparently beat their students (or at least stand idly by while their colleagues do), I'd argue that they do not deserve one ounce of respect.

As someone with a competitive sports background (swimming), yeah, no. This shit would get you disqualified and, if repeated, banned from competition for life in most sports. It's not a necessary part of any competition.

Make your own instance then. As long as you're using a service someone else provides for you (free of charge at that), you have to play by their rules.

No Kompromat needed, just PiS doing PiS things. Poland banned imports of Ukrainian grain (because PiS has a largely rural support base and the farmers don't appreciate the competition), Ukraine filed a complaint with the World Trade Organisation, so now the Polish government is throwing what in political science is called a tamper tantrum.

Kindergarten. But my parents never really cared. I was told "know your audience" not "don't say that".

Und es ist trotzdem kein rein digitales Ticket geworden. Ich hab zum Beispiel ne Chipkarte von der BVG, einfach weil der nicht im blödesten möglichen Moment der Akku ausgehen kann.

Wenn du kein Handyticket willst, dann musst du dir auch keins zulegen. Gibt genug Verkehrsverbünde die dir nach wie vor physische Tickets verkaufen, und da das Deutschlandticket bundesweit gültig ist ist es völlig egal ob dein lokaler Verbund das nicht tut.

Yeah, no. Death threats are acceptable in exactly the following circumstances:

That's it. Nothing beyond that.

Convergent evolution is a thing. Aliens that live in similar natural habitats and that fill similar ecological niches as humans will likely evolve along similar lines due to facing similar pressures. With that said, this is a very big assumption and all that it really tells us is that it is not impossible for "humanoid" alien life to exist.

Also, whatever is out there, we'll never know for certain. Distances are just too large. Space is so incredibly, unfathomably big that it's almost certain that there's other intelligent life out there. However, space is also so incredibly, unfathomably big that it's almost certain that we'll never meet it.

PiS is a bunch of self-serving wannabe fascists. And in other news shocking truth unveiled: water is wet!

It's probably still going to take some projects with it. If you've sunk hundreds or even thousands of manhours into a project you can't just... do it again, or at least not always. Especially not if you've invested money as well as time, which is probably the case for most indie projects that aren't literal one-person shows.

That assumes that everyone will be willing to have children with just about anyone, regardless of their personal opinion of them, and regardless of whether or not they even want children to begin with. You can't selectively breed humans without massive human rights violations.
