Its the hats. Everything went to shit when hats and bonnets stopped being the norm... provided you ignore the many many things that were shit up to that point.

First thing I do with my phone in the morning is turn off my alarm. That fills me with enough loathing for the device that I don't look at is again for a few hours.

This feels like a targeted attack on parts of booktok. Has there been a counter-offensive, and where is the popcorn?

Griffins an a few other mythical creatures would be too. Pegasus may or may not. The original was sired by Poseidon and itself was a god, but its since become a generic name for winged horses so that leaves room for debate.

Yes I do enjoy fiction taxonomy, why do ask?

This is the song playing the background of this scene.

Dr Umbengabones is the perfect lead for my Zombie Trek (Star Amble?) series!

I think your question has been answered by other pretty well but I'll add: If you decide a password manager is overall beneficial and choose one that looks secure, don't assume it will stay that way. LastPass taught us that a couple decisions that are valid one day can turn into huge liabilities in a few years as threats escalate. You to have to periodically check in on what secops pros are saying about your manager and make sure they haven't been resting on their laurels. Security is a job we all have.

Well put.

I'd been on reddit since the Digg migration and deleted my account after the blackout, but I had been enjoying the place less and less (and was interacting less and less) for years before.

we conservatively estimate 20 × 10^15 (20 quadrillion) ants on Earth, with a total biomass of 12 megatons of dry carbon. This exceeds the combined biomass of wild birds and mammals and equals 20% of human biomass. -- source

If there's a lot of something, we mammals are going to learn how to eat it.

I was born at the north end of a valley, went to collage in the middle of the valley (maybe 2/3rds down), and then settled down at south end of the valley. About 100mi / 160km. Where I live now is home, my spawn point hasn't been my home in over half my life.

Though I've lived for months at a time in a few more distant cities, all in the US.

This event is right up my ally, I am excited to play through it. I was trying to save up for a C2 Herc in time to for it to start, but I'll have to earn the last couple mil I need for it running resources for ArcCorp - and I hope they name the jump gate to Pyro "Area 69" when they win.

I get the urge check on zombo.com every couple years and it makes me feel better when it loads. Like it's my Inception totem, or something.

 
 
 

The woman, Elisha Young, is the paper's former business manager. She was arrested in Whitehall, Ohio, after a nationwide warrant was sent out for her arrest.

 

I'd usually don't log my crimes so I don't need to delete them. But I guess that's why I'll never be the Emissary.

 

Local to me in Oregon, anyway.

I was listening to music at work today and when Bonnie Tyler came on, this popped into my head. Image and title. This place has broken my brain.

In a good way.

 

A team of researchers who say they are from the University of Zurich ran an “unauthorized,” large-scale experiment in which they secretly deployed AI-powered bots into a popular debate subreddit called r/changemyview in an attempt to research whether AI could be used to change people’s minds about contentious topics.

more than 1,700 comments made by AI bots

The bots made more than a thousand comments over the course of several months and at times pretended to be a “rape victim,” a “Black man” who was opposed to the Black Lives Matter movement, someone who “work[s] at a domestic violence shelter,” and a bot who suggested that specific types of criminals should not be rehabilitated.

The experiment was revealed over the weekend in a post by moderators of the r/changemyview subreddit, which has more than 3.8 million subscribers. In the post, the moderators said they were unaware of the experiment while it was going on and only found out about it after the researchers disclosed it after the experiment had already been run. In the post, moderators told users they “have a right to know about this experiment,” and that posters in the subreddit had been subject to “psychological manipulation” by the bots.
