I coalesce the vapors of human experience into a viable and meaningful comprehension.…

None of the age verification services respect privacy - that’s baked into the whole push for it. Because it’s not just about “verifying” people’s ages at a specific point in time, especially in the US, it’s about being able to prove you have in case anyone tries to sue you.
Was thinking it’s either going to be food poisoning, completely unpalatable food combinations, or it’ll all be a sham and they’ll have their usual solution of immigrants doing all the actual work - and who are underpaid indentured servants and have had their passports confiscated.
Food of the gods, and almost as soothing as Xanax if you’re having a bad day. Also, honestly not as bad for you as a regular PB&J made with many big name jams/jellies. For extra decadence, toast the fluff.
Headlines like this really need to put the emphasis on the cause, e.g. “UK Government Forces Bluesky to Roll Out Age Verification”
You do know they’re rounding up and incarcerating/deporting legal immigrants and talking about denaturalizing citizens, right? They left that argument behind about only going after “illegals” after the inauguration. Now we’ve got Stephen Miller basically recreating internment camps and Laura Loomer talking about feeding 65 million Hispanics to alligators.
You can tell my brain already left for the long weekend - no idea where that brain fart came from.
From the guy who glossed over real historical/social issues in Titanic? Who ignored many of the moral issues of Bruce Wayne preferring to play dress up instead of working to fix Gotham? [Edit: I’m an idiot] Or who ripped off storylines from better movies, slapped Papyrus font on the title, and made an overly indulgent series of movies that are more pretty screensaver than cinema? He can fuck off.
Nothing for about the last two years - before that? All sorts of different things. But finally realized pretty much every game was either just trying to get me to cough up more money, was a subpar experience because of interface/hardware limitations, and/or weren’t actually fun beyond giving me a brief distraction when I was bored.
If I get to the point where I want a mobile gaming option, I’ll just get a Steam Deck. Honestly the less time I spend attached to my phone, the better.
Which still always amuses me, as horses originated in the Americas and lived there until about 12,000 years ago, went extinct there, and then got brought back by humans.
Verizon’s customer portal. Clunky, badly designed interface and what should be simple tasks end in dead pages, non-responsive widgets, and interminable loading screens. Just awful.
