Can you elaborate? To me, all of the TOTP authentication apps I have used are nearly identical aside from some minor aesthetics.

a backup is to bridge WhatsApp with Matrix and use Element on your phone

Any recommendations on where to start learning how to set up a bridge like that?

It is probably wise to assume that the next serious data breach at Google will end marriages, get politicians arrested, get famous people canceled, fuel successful scammers, and have every other privacy impact you can imagine. We know the Google data pool is massive, and we have reason to believe it is incredibly personal. I'm aware that Google has anonymozation solutions in play, and I do not believe those solutions will be effective in a breach scenario.

That would be an interesting experiment. Maybe cancel culture and public shaming will cease whene everyone realizes no one is perfect and lost people do shitty things from time to time.

anyone and everyone of merit with be lifted to their rightful station in society.

I think that's part of the protestant work ethic. People are predestined to a level of holiness in the material world we live in, and their predestined level of holiness grants them the ability to produce a quality and quantity of work that achieves their said level of predestined holiness. Thus, the wealthier a person is, the more holy they were predestined to be (sounds like a loophole in predestination to me). If you look at religion from a sociological lens, then the protestant work ethic is a great leadership tool to encourage the workers to produce as much as possible for several reasons: it creates a belief in social mobility that is based on work, workers are teased with being more holy if they worker, workers are threatened with being less holy if they work less hard, and leaders and wealthy individuals are seen as being the more holy. This was a revolution in Christian values at the time of the Protestant Reformation because it made wealthy people more holy, which was in contradiction to Christian dogma at the time. Roman Catholics, who were dominant before the Protestant Reformation, valued only actions directly related to the church, and anything else was irrelevant. I'm not an expert on this, so I may be wrong, but I think part of predestination to Roman Catholics was applied at the creation of a person because by being human, they were already predestined by God to be a certain level of divine. In essence, what mattered in terms of holiness were works for the church. Labor was less motivated to produce goods for the sake of creating wealth. The impact was that Roman Catholicism was a better match for a feudalistic society in which works contributed to their lord and church. Whereas, Protestant Christianity was better suited for a market economy in which individuals were encouraged to produce for the sake of becoming wealthy (ie holy). Therefore, Protestant Christianity took hold well in the developing United States of America as had a synergistic relationship with the economic model, which we continually see portrayed in media as the American Dream and that wealthy individuals are morally just and given unlimited get out of jail free cards (unless they betray other wealthy individuals).

Should you put glue in pizza?

No, you should not put glue in pizza. Here are several reasons why:

Safety Concerns

  • Toxicity: Most glues, especially those not designed for food use, contain chemicals that are toxic if ingested. Consuming glue can lead to serious health issues.
  • Allergic Reactions: Some people may have allergic reactions to the components in glue, which could be dangerous.

Culinary Integrity

  • Taste and Texture: Glue would significantly alter the taste and texture of the pizza, making it unpalatable. Pizza is meant to be enjoyed for its flavors and textures, and adding glue would ruin that experience.
  • Food Quality: Using non-food substances in cooking is not only unappetizing but also undermines the quality of the meal.

Alternatives

If you're looking to enhance your pizza, consider using safe and delicious ingredients such as:

  • Cheese: Different types of cheese can add flavor and texture.
  • Herbs and Spices: Fresh basil, oregano, or crushed red pepper can elevate the taste.
  • Sauces: Experiment with different sauces like pesto, barbecue, or garlic sauce for a unique twist.

In summary, glue has no place in pizza or any food preparation. Stick to safe and edible ingredients to ensure a tasty and enjoyable meal!

In the latest Diagnostic and Statistics Manual (DSM-5-TR), intellectual disability is the term that replaces mental retardation meaning mentally slow or delayed. Before mental retardation, it was mental deficiency implying there was something inferior. To me, there's no real difference between mental deficiency and intellectual disability. They are synonymous. Before the first DSM, a prominent doctor in the field of intelligence created a tiered system of intelligence that applied the labels moron, imbecile, and idiot (ordered higher to lower intelligence). Those words became derogatory too. The issue is not that scientists can't guess the correct term that wont become an insult.

The issue is that society defines values for people which allows terms to be insults. As long as oppression exists, the vulnerable will fall victim to it. The disabled, by definition, will always be part of the vulnerable group. Additionally, oppression is always justified by arguments on who deserves what, whether it be religion, race, sex, social class, work ethic, or intelligence. As long as we hold the value that inequitable distribution is not only acceptable but the ultimate goal of a just society, then regardless of the rules we establish, however noble or virtuous, the disabled will always be part of the oppressed, and thus, the terms for lower intelligence will continually evolve from neutral to derogatory.
