Numbers can be fun if you play with them a bit. We may not always agree but I'll be your friend if you ever need one.

That’s very interesting. I wasn’t sure if I was overthinking it or not. I appreciate the honest answer.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question about it. Thank you.

I have a question. Liking animalistic characters that have fur makes you a furry but what if you’re only attracted to lizards? Is it its own thing or does it nest somewhere under the furry fetish in general?

What did you expect? You completely sidestepped my biggest criticism and attacked the lesser issues.
My biggest problem is you’re justifying horrible behavior because it suits your needs. I don’t need to justify anything.
If I do something bad it’s intentional. Same with when I do something good. There isn’t a grey area for me. We’re obviously cut from different clothes there.
Why can’t you just admit you’re shilling for them? It’s what you’re doing. It’s what everyone does from time to time. Paid or not if you’re pushing a service you’re shilling for that company. However if you’re going to shill, shill something like Mullvad VPN or other reputable companies and services.
You’re part of the overall problem and you’re trying to justify abuse through convenience. That doesn’t make you a shill, it makes you an awful person too. You have a moral choice where you obtain your illegally gotten gains and I refuse to use Spotify in capacity. They won’t get my data or my traffic and I don’t need their shitty mp3 files. I can get my own even if there are so few seeders.

You’re trying too hard at this point, shill.

Oh fuck off with that bullshit. At least I come right out and admit what I do. Unlike you, I’m not going to sit around and shill services for a company that pretends it’s trying to do the right thing while actively working to fuck over the small artists trying to eke out a living on their platform.
I don’t give two fucks if Kanye West isn’t getting his pool upgrade until next year because I torrented his latest bullshit album.
The people most deserving of my money are the local and small artists that are trying to turn their passion into something more than a hobby.
I don’t torrent their music because I can’t and it’s more rewarding to buy it from someone who is putting all their heart and soul into their work.

My favorite Q episodes were on voyager when he became mortal for the first time. I love how falling asleep scared him absolutely shitless.
The other was the Q civil war. I just like they used an American civil war setting to help them interpret the fighting.

Cool let me check mine. Oh wait… I deleted my Spotify account because it’s entirely pointless to pay $10 a month to a service that is actively hostile towards artist and sharing the revenue they generate.
VPN > Torrent > Backup Drive > USB/MP3 player
Not only can I plug in a usb almost anywhere but mp3 is such a wildly accepted format I’m pretty sure I can stick it jn the back of most TVs and get my music to work. Failing all that I’ll just use a portable speaker. There is no excuse to consistently subscribe to something like Spotify.

Okta Says Hackers Stole Data for All Customer Support Users had earlier said breach affected about 1% of customers Company said some Okta employee information was also stolen

Updated on November 29, 2023 at 12:18 AM ESTOkta Inc. has discovered that hackers who breached its network two months ago stole information on all users of its customer support system — a scope far greater than the 1% of customers the company had previously said were affected.
The company notified customers in a letter Tuesday that it has now determined the hackers downloaded a report containing data including names and email addresses for all clients that use its customer support system. As a result, Okta warned customers that they may face an increased risk of attacks and urged them to use strong multifactor authentication.

That’s so much work for something the developers should just have enabled by default. Has anyone stopped to think about the kid in the wheelchair that wanted to play this game?

I don’t remember asking Googles permission to display content on my property. This is why I don’t buy smart TVs anymore. If I want it to be “smart” I’ll just program a raspberry pin myself.

- Comment on Google Drive misplaces months' worth of customer files 11 months ago:
I was formatting and resizing usb drives for work. I had already started drinking and was only half pay attention to what I was doing since I wanted to go back to hanging out with my friends. I failed to realize I left the drive plugged in with my other USB’s and formatted them all during my conversation/drinking session. It was only in the morning did I realize what I did.

I drunkenly formatted a backup drive once. Not a fun realization to make the next morning.

Okay I started by trying to think of some clever rhyme but the more I stare at this picture the more it fucks with my head.
Why is Otto’s head misaligned? Is that a person or a mannequin? Why does the entire image just scream uncanny valley and make the hairs on my arm stand up?
Maybe I should put down my weed vape for the night 🤣
- Comment on Odo on Promenade 11 months ago:
I dunno about you guys but I never had an elf on a shelf growing up. If I fucked up before Christmas I got my ass beat and then it was business as usual. My mom didn’t skip a beat when it came to the holidays 🤣

It’s a good idea I guess but I don’t understand the need to include Reddit into anything. Seems like a lot of work to include a site that is openly hostile towards competitors and would easily be shut down through their API if they wanted. Just my two cents.

“Bet’chu $50 that my bro can answer anything about birds” I bequeath drunkenly to a group of strangers at the bar. The cheering was security escorting me out.
