I did laugh at this meme, then but I came in here to make sure there was a warning.
Doing this is an awful way to spend a month in the hospital, get permanently disgusted, and possibly die.
- Comment on Inside the Underground Site Where ‘Neural Networks’ Churn Out Fake IDs 9 months ago:
I like to thread the needle between “useful verification of identity” and “not a horrifying invasion of privacy that puts everyone in our society at risk”
Reading these kinds of things will just result in is creating horrible identification laws like having to scan your face each time you want to watch porn.

- Comment on It takes a village 9 months ago:
Your parents didn’t give you blinding stew?
It’s not that bad. It doesn’t hurt, it’s scary at first but you adapt. It never made me want to get revenge on my parents, and I haven’t jaywalked since. I actually got it twice when I got suspended from school but the second time was baloney.

Cereal grains, like oats, prepared as a porridge are a stew. Cereal and milk is soup.

The teeth do grow back, but if you pull them before their natural schedule it takes a long time and can necessitate needing braces later.
- Comment on It takes a village 9 months ago:
No porridge is not a soup.
You cook porridge by boiling off water until you hit the right amount of water absorbed into the cereal, and it not being soup or gruel like. The starchiness also plays a role in consistency.
Porridge does not use or create a broth, soup does.
Porridge is always cooked until there is no or little liquid left, you can’t have soup without liquid.
I am willing to entertain whether nothing that porridge can be a stew, but it is not a soup.

I think 1 day blinding stew would work as well as a bittering agent. You think she’s going to forget blinding stew?

- Comment on I had some that looked exactly like this 9 months ago:
One time I shoved a crayon in the lock on one of these hoping class would be cancelled.
Instead we had to stand outside until the custodian showed up and fixed it.

- Comment on Cory Doctorow wants to wipe away enshittification of tech 9 months ago:
How about making bootstrapping businesses easier and providing preferable tax strategies floor small businesses?
Or opening up platforms to sale increased competition?
Or providing sponsorship for open standards so users get more choice in the market instead of relying on entrenched large companies?
- Comment on Everything about TOML format - Orchard Dweller 9 months ago:
On the other hand, I hate that with JSON you can only surge one document per file.
Some programs allow you to omit the outside braces, others require it.
But I do hate toml, and I don’t much like yaml either (why are there like 8 whitespace permutations?!)
- Comment on Zuckerberg to Get $700 Million a Year From Meta’s New Dividend 9 months ago:
Doesn’t this mean that Meta has ossified and the board no longer sees growth opportunities?
Send like bad news for investors long on growth and prospects of the meta verse.
- Comment on TikTok sounds go silent as songs disappear from app 9 months ago:
There’s a lot on it.
It’s not just girls in things standing in a hot tub flossing.
I don’t like the company, I don’t use the product. But it is what Facebook was in 2010.

Amazons average take is over 50%, so naturally it’s not cheap to sell on.

Mitzi of the books I buy are reference books, that site actually has a decent stock, thanks!
- Comment on It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription 9 months ago:
Amazon send bad at packaging books lately. If day 1/3 orders are damaged. My last one was both misprinted and the envelope was unsealed, so the book arrived at, degrees, and blurry.

Amazon takes 50% on average now

They’re only cutting fees in categories competing with Shein
- Comment on It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription 9 months ago:
I’ll go further, I stopped using Amazon entirely and I don’t miss it.
The junky shopping experience is especially clear once you leave and come back.
I only ever order books from amazon anymore, and usually only when I get a gift card or a product isn’t for sale elsewhere.
The prices aren’t even that good anymore.

- Comment on Microsoft Confirms Plans To Release Xbox First Party Games “Across All Platforms”, Including PlayStation 9 months ago:
Plus the Epic lawsuits set a precedent that if you provide zero support for third party stores (Apple) you’re fine, but provide second class support (Google) and you’re going to get fucked.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 boss says gamers don’t want mass subscriptions 9 months ago:
Weil if that isn’t the consequences of your choices.
So it’s my fault that a studio with a good history, knowledge of the platform and has worked directly with Apple on their last game, with a working public beta running on my machine, decided to delay release without any announcement?
Larian are generally great, BG3 is awesome, the release comms were shit.
