I’m on that low% speedrun

Just logged in, just found it, just opted out. Thanks for the heads-up OP.

But fucking fuck. Can we put a stop to this? Legally? We could call it sometime like… The National Opt-out Policy Elimination (NOPE) Act or something.

Creativity is hot. That makes more sense, thanks.

I still don’t understand.

What’s the y axis?

sounds like the intro to a lengthy cutscene that tries to use lore to explain away why there will only be 4 dungeons in a $70 game

I copied the list straight from the article, so excuse the awkward phrasing. But yes, the implication is that you could totally use “password1” on some websites.

Now that’s a pee four dollar sign dollar sign omega zero are dee right there

The article focuses on password requirements that websites implement, not user behaviors. Common bad practices mentioned:

• Permit very short passwords
• Do not block common passwords
• Use outdated requirements like complex characters

when did SMS go out of style?

This is kind of sad. I’ve been using the site a fair amount recently to help get through some depressive episodes and the social withdrawal/isolation that come with them. Granted, about 50% of conversations were bots, and 40% were guys just looking for girls to send them nudes, but the other 10% or so was pretty interesting conversations.

I guess this will be the impetus to get back out and socialize IRL again. Or to find a new chat-with-randos service. Or to keep spiraling deeper into depression. We’ll see.

Edit: It was also kinda nice to be treated like a woman without being treated differently for being trans.

Oh gosh. Did my critique of ads just become an ad?

This seems to follow a progression

• No ads
• Non-intrusive ads
• Intrusive ads, but you can pay to make them go away
• Intrusive ads, but you can pay to make them less intrusive
• Intrusive ads and you have to pay just to see the content
• Content becomes ads
• Ads pretend to be content (see Dr. Pepper’s “Fansville”)
• Award categories for ads are featured in major award ceremonies
• Award ceremonies just for ads go mainstream

Actually not sure what’s real vs hypothetical at this point.

Dang, that’s wild.

I’m still not going back to the office.

How much of this is due to the subjects of the posts? If news articles are pretty similar week to week, I’d expect the discussion around them to be similar too. That shifts the onus on users to stop posting and upvoting same-ey content all the time, or moderators to take more of it down.

Counteroffer: drink more alcohol and listen to music that is not good. You know, typical bar scene.
