Yes.

I was on the fence about picking up South Park again, but I managed to catch the latest new episode over the weekend. Definitely worth checking out.
- Comment on "Tea cup" app - user database leaked today (incl. drivers license & IDs). Daily reminder not to give your ID to online services [THEY DO NOT PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION] 1 month ago:
Found this article after a quick web search: forbes.com/…/what-is-tea-the-viral-women-only-app…
It’s an app where women upload photos of men they’re dating to get “the tea” on them (red flags, catfishing, etc.). I always wondered if something like this existed. Sucks that it has to, sucks even more if their users are being targeted like this.

So what we’re really talking about here is not sleep debt, but rather, sleep loss.

- Comment on Can harmless viruses be engineered to deliver vaccine payloads for different actually harmful viruses? 9 months ago:
That’s what you call a viral vector. Apparently the Sputnik V vaccine for COVID used this approach.
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
Perhaps a better question is why aren’t more people shunned. There are some good answers already, but I’ll throw in another reason that seems to come up sometimes.
The US is highly polarized on a lot of issues. If one can frame their shunning as one of those wedge issues, they can probably get enough people to rally around them that they escape accountability.
“I’m being deplatformed because of racism against white people!”
“We have freedom of speech in this country, so if you take everything in the Constitution absolutely literally like I do, it’s obvious I should be able to spew whatever bullshit I want. You don’t hate the Constitution and the founding fathers, do you?”

Are there any instances of a 3rd party making digital copies of games available and paying some licensing fee back to the copyright holders? Something akin to how book libraries handle ebooks?

This would mean that there was more uranium around millions and billions of years in the past so why isn’t there any evidence of prehistoric nukes in the fossil record
- Comment on Intuit possibly succumbs to the Streisand effect 10 months ago:
As another comment said, I also dropped everything and read the article. So yeah I guess that’d mean Streisand effect is coming into play.
Regarding the topic at hand: I don’t care what these companies say at this point. The fact is that in the past, I have used their services, clicked the “free” button, did some things, and then ended up having to pay them money.
Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, “Here’s how much you paid in taxes, if you’re cool with that then please disregard”, I will not be satisfied.
