TBF, the teenage years are when many kids become fully aware of the shitty aspects of life (although some get it earlier and others stay sheltered forever), and they’re still developing the capacity to deal with it.

This, and the really long late night Girls Gone Wild commercials on Comedy Central. I think the first thing I ever pirated was a GGW video, lmao.

The upside to using ad blockers - no ads!

The downside to using ad blockers - not knowing what any of the movies currently in theaters are.

Same. Buster is my most recent must-have extension for this reason, auto solves like 95% of CAPTCHAs for me.

Yeah the most recent version of CAPTCHA is completely seamless for the end user because there is no more value to be had gathering this kind of data. Instead it runs in the background of the web site, looking at your mouse movements/clicks/keystrokes, and determining whether or not you’re a bot based on that information.

The problem is a lot of websites still use the old version, or their own hacked together CAPTCHA alternative, which decent bots have been able to beat for a while now.

True fact once I was getting a drink with my younger brother and he asked me to get him a Prime, kid took about three sips before he gave up on the rest and got a glass of water, lmao.

tbh this post made me double check my calendar.

No, but like… dude, you could flip half of those supposed traits between categories and it would read exactly the same. That’s why I called it astrology.

Perhaps you just did a bad job of presenting the book’s ideas, but I’ve just read through a summary of it and it didn’t exactly make me reconsider my knee jerk reaction.

This is your brain on idealism, just pure vibes. Political astrology.

I think a factor is just S Korea’s working class being squeezed that much harder than many other places. They’re calling it the “gender war” but it’s all just people being forced to live in unbearable conditions while getting more and more isolated from each other.

7. Choosing the distro most aligned with Juche ideology - Red Star OS

My question is if it wasn’t required before and is required now, what changed? It’s not like Google has added a killer feature recently - this is almost certainly related to those shitty AI answers that are forcing your actual search results even further down the page than they were already.

Unless the police are an entirely independent organization, they can still receive orders from the top directing them to seek out fines even if they’re not the ones who directly benefit.

money goes to the government

cops get their money from the government

As far as swords go, the gladius is still the goat.

If you’re buying $1000 worth of lumber $50 to ensure it gets home undamaged (and without damaging your car) is cheap. I’m pretty sure you can also elect to cut the boards in half to better fit them in a smaller vehicle.

The Palworld suit is not an IP suit because whether or not Palworld was “cribbing” from Pokemon they were well within the bounds of the law. They don’t even have to claim parody - their designs are their designs, despite the clear inspiration.

The lawsuit is over software patents, most likely the patents that Nintendo has for throwing a ball in a virtual space to capture a creature and riding on a virtual creature, aka absolute specious bullshit.

Slaves built pyramids

Skilled craftsmen built the pyramids, slaves were mostly relegated to less prestigious work like farming.

That’s cool now could you tell your lawyers to go in a different direction with respect to mods and fan games?

I don’t have a washing machine so I end up using an overpriced laundromat (or visiting my parents lmao), but ever since I saw a tiktok of a tiny Japanese machine that was both a washer and a dryer one of those been at the top of my wish list. I don’t even care if it can only wash one or two sets of clothes at a time, that’s all I need.
