Reminds me of the vaults in Fallout. A sign reading “Hard work is happy work!” Right next to the overseer observation window lol.
- Comment on hey wallmart, this milk went bad 1 week ago:
There is a grocery chain in southeast US called Publix that will absolutely refund expired milk and other items. They have a weekly rotation of BOGO free items. If you return those items after they aren’t on sale anymore you will recieve a refund for each item. They’ve had this policy for decades aa far as I’m aware so it must not be abused too badly. They are also often twice as expensive as other grocery stores so maybe that justifies it.

- Comment on Tea app leak worsens with second database exposing user chats 4 weeks ago:
Encouraging people to be safe and care about their privacy on the internet is not victim blaming.
I’m sure their privacy policy gave the standard promises about storing their private data in a secure way, which _they did not do. _
This is what people want to warn others of. The developers of Tea are hardly the only offenders. Definitely not an example of victim blaming.

It is public, youre right. That’s why anyone can post to it. The rule is if you admit to not being a woman, you get banned.
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 4 weeks ago:
A group of people with the intention of privately sharing details of people in order to track their behavior is definitely going to lead to doxxing. Maybe I’m getting the wrong idea, but it sounds like they are sharing the names of people they went on dates with. I assume that would include the city or town the date occurred which would infer where abouts they live. Given enough “reviews” of a single person I’m sure there would be sufficient info to call it doxxing.

- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 4 weeks ago:
I agree 100% that women face many more dangers especially in the dating scene than men. I’m all for having resources available for them to remain as safe as possible.
I don’t see how a Rate My Professor type app would work well for dates. I feel like people would only spend the time to rate poor dates. If you had a really good date with someone, you would presumably start dating them so why would you let everyone else know they are a good person to go out with? I have no doubt there are some awful people out there that others should be warned about, but this type of app is a bit too risky to justify that in my opinion.
The background check feature sounds much more legit, but I don’t think a group chat feature needs to exist along side it.
All that being said, anyone enjoying the doxxing of others is just an asshole. There’s definitely nothing fair about it from either side.
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 4 weeks ago:
I 100% agree that it isn’t relevant to the doxxing. I dont think the doxxing is warranted at all from either side. Most of what I saw about the app is just from various social media users as well as the Google PlayStore reviews. Personally I find it hard to believe the app wasn’t made with the purpose to dox people just based on the name alone. The ads make it seem like a safespace for women and if that’s all it was meant to be then it for sure had a very unfortunate name.
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 4 weeks ago:
I’m all for groups of safe spaces for women. Especially when it’s designed to keep them safe while dating. I have my doubts that Tea was that. Even if it was advertised as such, “tea” is slang for the word gossip. I’ve heard stories from several sources that it was used to dox people as well. Not saying what happened to the users is right. I think some users here are just feeling smug that this might cause the app to fail or shut down.
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 4 weeks ago:
Considering that “tea” is common slang for gossip I’m not convinced there was many of the latter.

- Comment on What are the best free mmorpgs for a beginner? 5 weeks ago:
They recently released an installer for Linux. It’s an ISO which I did not have much luck running on Linux Mint. Before that was released, they released TurtleWoW as a portable zip file. They still update the game with that release. I use Proton on Steam to run it on Mint with no issues.
No legal issues for players to worry about. My understanding is that since it is a version of WoW that doesn’t exist anywhere else at this point, it’s ok to run severs for it as long as money isn’t being charged for it. TurtleWoW devs do accept “donations” which will reward players with in game cosmetics, but as far as I know, no pay to win items. Unless you count a pet that acts as a portable bank. Using it let’s you interact with your bank that can otherwise only be accessed from various cities in game. I don’t have that pet myself, but I have been able to use other players’ when I come across them in the world.

I’ve enjoyed OSRS on and off since about 2004, but if you’re wanting to avoid walking simulators, it is the worst offender. A big part of the game is calculating the best possible path to follow. You are making trips to the bank in between every activity and multiple times per quest. Many skills exist just to ease to burden of traveling around the world.
My personal favorite MMO is vanilla WoW. I’m obviously biased but it is just what I had the most fun with back when it came out and I think it still holds up incredibly well today. I play on a private server called TurtleWoW and it is 100% free. They have continuously added their own expansions over time and are currently working on a client that runs the game in Unreal Engine if you desire more modern graphics.
If it seems to old school, Guild Wars 2 is a really good choice as well. I played through the base game and first expansion of FF14 and ultimately wasn’t impressed. It’s great if you like to role play with other players, but everyone is so focused on playing the meta that it took all of the fun out of the game for me. People would kick me out of groups for trying to play with my own personalized set up.

They list nearly the last 80 episodes to be filler. I haven’t watched past the first two arcs in Naruto but do those last 80 episodes not contribute to any story or arc at all?
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 month ago:
I don’t think it’s necessary to compare yourself to others here. The consumption goal should just be to consume less and every effort makes a difference. If you eat red meat every day, then try every other day. If you already do that, try once a week. If you feel you can consume even less then have it as a rare treat or just cut it out entirely.

That’s strange. Where I live, Doordash and all the other delivery services list higher menu prices than what you’ll see at whichever restaurant you go to. If a menu item is normally $15, Doordash will list it as $18. This is before they even add the service fees.

I have to imagine once it ages a bit more they’ll bring the regular price down. But as many fans say, it’s really a fair price for what the game is.

My job has the opposite problem. We have four refrigerators full of food that no one wants to eat. People bring in homemade meals in glass containers that end up rotting and growing mold. Every so often someone gets the courage to clean all the refrigerators out, but it doesn’t take long before they turn back into giant trash cans again.
