Such a waste. Imagine the fabulous wealth of rare minerals and other resources we could gather by simply allowing the asteroid to collode with the planet.

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• Use outdated requirements like complex characters

Being able to say “oh that was x+1 years ago” instead of “x years ago” when reflecting on all my past traumas.

From the article, emphasis mine because the post title was driving me crazy:

The worst projection for climate change in 2023, is that the chance for the average global temperature to rise above 1.5°C has increased to almost 50% for the next five year period between 2022 and 2026.

when did SMS go out of style?

There are tasks and chores my parents used to do on my behalf that I now do myself, like making money, paying taxes, handling health insurance, etc. I guess those make me feel like an adult.

But then there are milestones I thought I would have hit by now that I have not, mainly concerning family life. No kids, no partner, nobody to take care of but myself. If I wanna go out and party, or stay in and play video games all weekend, there’s not really much to stop me. That makes me feel immature.

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.

Remember these guys? This is them now. Feel old yet?

Make everyone’s interpretation of “small thing” slightly more similar.

Was that a spit of contempt or a spit aimed at the spittoon in the corner of the ol saloon

I wish there were more moderately paced e-scooters using bike lanes. I like to race them lol. Instead they’re usually going against traffic and/or on sidewalks. Please avoid doing those things if you can.
