Honestly I’d compare to using Google in your everyday life and say Amazon is the business version of that

I scored 14/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

I actually died at the poop emoji one. Actually amazing awareness to test for that

And they took his stapler

Writing this in the context of Google being the alternative is an interesting take (especially when Google hijacks internet standards with things like manifestv3 and has ads in their competing email service)

They already do this with trans people. Only a matter of time before we get lynchings again

I’m on v219 and can confirm the problem is still there (I hear sound continue in the background even after leaving the page)

Tbh it’s more the getting users to gamble by paying for cases that got the ball rolling. Objectively, the least terrible monetization form is buying a game outright and then earning your items through playing as they used to do before free to play became normalized. That’s why all these shitty games come out with battle passes even though game developers did just fine supporting their game for a few years without the constant money churn. Because it’s the norm, people now think it’s impossible to have a game with updates that is bought outright, yet deep rock galactic does it just fine without $60/yr worth in battle passes.

I’d argue valve spearheading microtransactions was a bad thing, traceable to tf2 items and cases. People don’t give them enough flak for filling games with monetization.

I feel like I’m crazy because I can’t see our own leaders doing that due to sheer hubris

Afaik, in a court of law, the questions they ask matter. If it is a poorly worded question, it is the fault of the one interrogating. Don’t answer your own version of their questions

Blaming Biden when Americans failed the vote is a strange take. It is not Biden’s fault Americans voted Trump over Harris- adults are responsible for their own choices so why not American voters? Do you expect him to act like Trump did on January 6 and initiate an insurrection?

At first I thought, “ok they’ve got their mind made up no matter what, nothing can convince them” Then I realized it meant they were enjoying marginalized students being at a bigger disadvantage. Clever panel.

I still remember the labor shortage from all the deportations when they found out they need immigrants to do the work no one wants to do. They never seem to learn

Their hold is so strong we elected a guy with dementia over a healthy qualified person. At this point only death canl release their grasp

The American dream has changed so many times through the generations I’m not sure there’s any cohesive vision. I remember it used to be owning a house, having kids, and being self sufficient. Nowadays I don’t think young people even want kids- having time and money to have fun seems like the dream, which is sort of… bleak? That should be the bare minimum, but the older generations failed them.

Makes sense, but in that case, why do law enforcement even care if the OS reboots itself if they already have a copy of the encrypted contents?

Most phones aren’t letting you try more than 5 attempts before you’re locked out. You can even set it up to erase after the attempts

Hooked on election funding despite it not really doing anything for her despite the huge advantage? Yeah that’s a good strategy.

At this point maybe the democrats just need to embrace these hard positions and normalize them. The gop doesn’t appear to care how radical their stances are and they get votes regardless of the racism. Trump’s whole shtick has been normalizing bad behavior and gaslighting the other party into thinking any wrong they do is a gotcha- they’re operating on two very different rulesets.

Sadly that didn’t affect trump voters when Trump kneecapped the pandemic response teams (including the CDC) before covid.
