Oh how the mighty have fallen. Vice used to be fucking based. This makes me really sad. Especially disingenuous disinformation like this. Ask someone with ADHD how life saving stimulants like adderall or similar has been for them. It’s nothing like meth, which typically ruins lives.

There’s a much better version of this joke, to which I believe was the original, with the DiCaprrio meme from Django where he’s far away and hears the first line

Drastic zoom in (military recruiters)

You will?

This is awesome news to privacy focused people. I don’t want this shit stored anywhere ever. I couldn’t be happier. And with that done, I will finally delete my 10 year old account.

I’d make a strong argument that one Diet Coke a day is still healthier even if it’s carcinogenic vs one regular coke everyday. Sugar is that bad for you.

They already had a massive bot reposting issue, and now they’ll bay paid to that? Absolutely will get worse. Unbelievable

Please everyone if you’re not using something like Ublock Origin (best in the game imo) you’re doing the internet wrong.

Some say they play ads to support content creators but they make almost nothing from them because Google is so greedy. Best way to support them is direct, $5 on buy me a coffee or a patreon subscription.

This is depressing. I cannot stress enough how critical emulators are in this area. Especially emulators that can emulate old obscure CPU architecture or whatever else needed to run super old games. We can preserve them forever this way regardless of available hardware. Keep ROMs archived on many places too, cold storages, etc.

Holy shit agreed. The “thanks for le kind gold stranger” shit makes me want to fucking cut my throat. Some shit im begging to stay on leddit. All the shit on /r/circlejerk for example.

Edit: le thanks for the gold kind stranger

It honestly sounds like you did everything right. I would’ve suggested everything you did. Credit freeze is #1, then passwords is #2. You did great.

As for your question, I’ve actually used several monitoring services and have had an overall positive experience but it’s definitely a mixed bag and YMMV. Some info I get is very specific and therefore helpful. Sometimes it’s extremely generic ie an alert that your primary email has been found on the dark web…. Ok, I would’ve gotten a similar repose with an “have I been pwned” search. I’ve been involved in like 15 days breaches, I fully expected that email to be found on the DW by now.

I also got these services all for free. One is permanent via my credit union which is great. I’ve gotten others as consolations from companies that have had breaches with my data.

I personally think it’s worth it to her even if she has to pay for a year or two and reevaluate from there, given her situation.

It shouldn’t be affected because the issue came down to running custom emojis, which to my knowledge, fmhy does not use.

It never hurts to log out, change password, and back in tho

Personal rule has always been I don’t give a fuck about major corps profits.

However, if I pirate a game I like, I pay for it. Simple as. Support devs, especially indie.

Yeah unironically this. Mental outlaw did a good video on this subject recently, about Reddit, and he spoke about Chad web scrapers
