I had to check the date on this post due to the XIV avatar.
Definitely keep clean and use deo, but I remember the last major XIV convention in NA was so poorly planned out that it had massive lines of people waiting outside in the late July summer heat in Las Vegas. It’s a bit of an unfortunate situation.
- Comment on YSK a US passport card costs $30 and is definitive proof of citizenship. It fits in your wallet like a credit card. 2 weeks ago:
It won’t stop them. Immigration and customs already had a large amount of unchecked power prior to this administration, but under this administration there isn’t anything they care about. They’ve been murdering people in cold blood across multiple blue states for a while now.
Besides that, if people start panicking and trying this then the necessary venues that people have to go to for their first passport(you have to show up in person for your first passport) could become ICE targets or places they stalk. It’s not exactly uncommon knowledge that conservatives tend to not bother getting passports either.

I always knew I was right to scoop them up and put them outside. My wife just murders them outright.

Listen, I don’t disagree with you regarding the class divide, but this is my own experience with plenty members of the older generation, including my own parents.
I’m not saying they all do, nor do I really think it’s a starting point for dealing with the issue either, but that’s what this meme is about. Again, it’s just my own experience and I’m sorry that it seems to upset you.
- Comment on Evidence 4 weeks ago:
Most of the boomers I knew growing up acknowledged climate change.
They also acknowledged that they didn’t care because they wouldn’t be around long enough to feel the severe effects of it.
- Comment on Stay under the speed limit, guys. It's not worth it. 4 weeks ago:
This is why I just let my wife drive. She’ll run the light at the last second if she can while I never will, and it’s less frustrating for both of us to just let her handle it.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 month ago:
I fail to see how this isn’t a good thing?
Yes the AI usage was known about previously, yes, the game probably doesn’t really count as being an indie game, yes game awards are all genuinely terrible, but you have to take what you can get. A small victory is a still a victory.

The irony is that reddit users would say the same about other people on other platforms.

She didn’t have to tell people this either. She could have easily kept advertising the project, building up hype for it and lying about how close they were to completing the tool without ever announcing it as completed.
You can lead investors on like that. Unless the fraud is completely exposed many investors will often continue to invest in these projects out of fear of missing out.

Probably not. He seemed to take the initiative in life quite often.
Granted, given the circumstances around sexuality at the time he really had to be proactive.
- Comment on 2³² will get interesting... 2 months ago:
I’d get it done and over with. I would resent myself forever, and accept any punishment for it, but it’s better than waiting to see if someone wants to decide to kill off half the world later on. Would be even easier if I could take the first persons spot on the tracks so there only has to be one messed up person rather than two.
- Comment on Controversial startup's plan to 'sell sunlight' using giant mirrors in space would be 'catastrophic' and 'horrifying,' astronomers warn 2 months ago:
Thought I was in the boring dystopia community instead. I suppose I’ll just continue to hope that this is too impractical to happen or that those responsible aren’t competent enough to make it happen.

Yet another reason to despise AI. Animals deserve to be safe too. We’ve already taken so much from them as it is.

You don’t need to cheat when the bar association decides to be lazy and use AI to write the exam itself.

For those that don’t get it this is survivorship bias.
During World War 2 they were attempting to figure out how to better equip the planes they had to survive. A certain statistician by the name of Wald figured out that the holes in the planes that they could track weren’t that important because those were the planes that returned. Instead it was safer to assume that everywhere else needed better protection, as the planes that received damage in those areas weren’t returning.
Sorry if I ruined the funny, but I saw the downvotes and was concerned.

Never letting go of it.
- Comment on Mutilated multiverse of madness 4 months ago:
A spokesman for the Pokémon Company International told the Daily Beast, “We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. “Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.”
It’s pure damage control. It’s a shame to see it.
Don’t get me wrong, there could be a take down request going on in the background, but that’s entirely futile. DHS and ICE are federal agencies. Taking on federal agencies is near impossible for a variety of reasons I won’t get into. The process is entirely in the governments favor, and always has been, even prior to a fascist regime taking over.
Given all that, it would be much more comforting to see the companies involved speaking out a bit more, but that’s asking for too much I’d say.
- Comment on Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide 4 months ago:
SL was too complicated when I was a kid. Might be different now, but a lot of us went onto IMVU instead. It originally had no separation for over and under 18 accounts, but even after they added it you had both kids and adults blatantly intermingling anyways. You couldn’t search up over 18 rooms as under 18 or search under 18 rooms as over 18, but people could still invite and chat.
Nothing quite like being 15 and hanging out with your friends until one of them invites their mid-twenties boyfriend to the chat.

It’s not as uncommon as you’d think. People are relying on their parents more than ever, and parents who are willing to help are using this as an opportunity to provide help with strings attached.

Sorry if that came off the wrong way. I more so meant it to point out what I intended in case there was a misunderstanding.
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 6 months ago:
None of this is what I am discussing. I’m talking about the people in the thread who are saying that these people deserved this.
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 6 months ago:
I don’t quite understand the outrage in the thread. I’ve been looking through the comments, trying to see if this ever went beyond gossip and I can’t find anything.
From my understanding the app was intended to be a safe space for women to discuss dating. Relaying information about dangerous individuals, or people who cheat. I can imagine that things might have gotten slightly out of hand in regards to anonymous gossip, but is that anything compared to being doxxed? Besides, women, and men have been gossiping behind each others backs for as long as humans have existed. An anonymous app makes it significantly worse certainly, but it is what it is. This behavior is always going to exist for better or for worse. For example, people already discuss this on sites like fetlife since the risk of ending up with someone who wants to batter you for the sake of battering you is somewhat high there.
Surely we can have some sympathy for people who have had their identifications doxxed by 4chan who haven’t done anything worse than a bit of toxic gossip at most?
