Sure, a person might have said that. They’d have been right about the danger but wrong about our risk tolerance. It’s hard enough to keep people from becoming water balloons in a simple collision on the ground (though things have definitely improved in that regard over the past century). It’s also a much bigger problem to run out of fuel or have an engine failure in midair than on the ground in the vast majority of situations.

…drinking my beer! Or eating my lunch for tomorrow. Or half a birthday cake.
Could’ve just said “eating my lunch”, it’s obviously a beer and half of a birthday cake.

The FBI called to help, maybe they can sort things out for you too. Thought they’d be busy with other stuff right now but I guess they need these Apple gift cards to upgrade my security…

This is one of those “unmute to understand” ones if somebody in silent mode is about to paste the title into a search engine.

Gross, my fridge got hit with ransomware again and now all the food inside is encrypted. Time to see if my canned backups are any good.
…Where did I put those backups?

When you say it like that, it sounds better in some ways and worse in others.

Just in case anyone was wondering why we don’t do that.

Yeah, it’s the online forums and gaming communities that radicalized me and not the legion of drooling idiots destroying my country at the direction (or at least to the delight) of foreign adversaries. Good job, detective.

If it makes you feel any better, your microscopic attacker is not having a very good time with your body’s response either. You’re the undefeated champion in this arena so far, keep up the winning streak.

…Hail Mary and and an Our Father for penance. Really though, you can’t be so hard on yourself. Maybe those orphanages needed to burn, have you ever thought that maybe it was God who put that gas can into your hands? Let yourself live in the moment, don’t be afraid to share your spark with the world.
I am beginning to think it was a bad idea to prioritize engagement and retention over safety.

That’s about as much sense as they ever make. Oh well, thank you for trying. I’d attempt sign language but theirs only includes a single gesture and I don’t want it to look any more like 1930s to mid 40s Germany in here than it already feels.

You need to open up the can and put it on a shelf in a dark cabinet for a few weeks first. Rookie mistake.

Thanks, kinda sounds like a nightmare to me though. On a good day, I think I can come up with some decent material on the spot but it takes me a while to loosen up enough to try it. Online, I can go back and edit if a better idea occurs to me halfway through or take a minute to think about it/add some really weird search terms to my FBI file.

If we weren’t all disgusting horny animals at our core just looking for a hole to jam ourselves into or to jam stuff into our holes, there wouldn’t be 8+ billion of us.

It was a high search result that I didn’t have to turn off the VPN for and wasn’t pixelfucked/watermarked to death. Close enough for this government’s work.

Makes me glad I live in a place where there’s anything whatsoever nearby. It means I don’t need to hide in the dirt waiting to hurl a mushroom-addled pyromaniacal furry plumber at passing trucks every night.

This would be an interesting method of baiting a honeypot: “accidentally” leave a verification code un-redacted and enough information to find the app in the screenshot. Put a timer on it to set the hook on the impulsive. User thinks they’re being sneaky, installs the app, enters the code but now they’ve turned their phone a DDoS bot or something.
Don’t even have to care if it’s a legitimate and non-expired code since the honeypot operator won a whole step ago when the user mashed the “give full control of my device and my lunch money to this app” button.

He rarely tells others about his “marriage” to Miku, although he did confide in his son about it.
“He was like, ‘Oh, OK,’ and didn’t seem bothered in the least,” Shimoda said.
That is the response of a young man who has been freed from any concerns about disappointing his father for the rest of his life. Dad found your ladybug mind control sissification vore hentai stash? Big deal, he married a phone. At least a Hitachi wand never accidentally picks up a facetime call at an inopportune moment.
One thing left unanswered by the article: if you propose to a phone, are you supposed to buy it an expensive ringer?

I told them they should have gone with Alphamax but nobody wanted to hear it once the Sigmamax schism happened.

I’ll worry about 50,000 other things today before the question of how conservatives are feeling crosses my mind. It’s not important.

Little bit of powdered milk can help it out in that situation. Stuff’s fairly inexpensive and stores well. I don’t tend to use a lot of milk in general so I keep a bag or can of it around for cooking, haven’t had to do a smelly chunky was-milk pour of shame in ages.
