Hopefully a few thousand of them were the ones responsible for making the website dog shit 😅

Comeon 0.0001%! Let’s get those last 5 people who know what an extension is but were holding out for…???

Yeah… These articles are like reading the tally marks on a prison wall. Let it go.

I remember when he bulldoze a bunch of people‘s vehicles… and part of me was like “Cool, riding an ATV in Central Park for fun probably should result in your vehicle getting crushed…” and the little voice in the back of my head says this is a bit over the top, even for a publicity stunt. 

Need to listen to that little voice more often 😅

We’re calling it Proposition #66 😉

Yeah, it was definitely intended as humor an attempt at levity.

Followed shortly by ‘oh shit’ and ‘we dropped two weights’ then ‘guys, it’s getting kind of wet in here…’

Just kidding, mostly.

Serious question: how does a submarine know how much it weighs?

We were doing fine until the SuperCoral™ evolved the ability to breath air back in 2047… must’ve been some of that salamander DNA that we used. 

Ooooo… okay, somehow I was getting like a “did you really have to gender the example?“ vibe… so hopefully that explains my confusion/response.

For sure. And ultimately they gave credit where it was due, which is nice but it was a bit jarring. I think that means the filmmakers did their job well and crafted a character I could identify with.

Um… I don’t think it matters to me what the characters gender was, but it seemed like the least I could do since I wasn’t going to go back and look up the characters name.

I think you’re reading something into my comment I don’t intend? Strictly referring to a character Ulana Khomyuk from the HBO miniseries here.

Yeah, I wasn’t going to go and call that case-closed; industry tactics exposed, story at 11:00. It’s a theory and intentional or not (misspellings) I think there’s a definite possibility it’s working as described in some cases.

I like the SaaS theory too, ransomware clearly operates using exactly that model… unfortunately there’s been a few investigations and a lot of it is just the intersection of actual and economic slavery. I suspect there’s some of what you propose as well, why not, right? If we can dream it up somewhere somebody’s probably trying it. But I’d also wager that once you achieve any real proficiency at this kind of low level scam, there’s opportunity in organized computer crime, spearfishing and pretexting scams, operations with more sophisticated planning.

Sounds exactly like the names I would come up with breathing 20% nitrous oxide for a few hours…

Couldn’t hide my disappointment at the end when they were like [strong female character] was created from the stories of over fifty different scientists…

Never even occurred to me but it seems obvious now thst you’ve mentioned it.

The assassination attempt was a just a pretext to sell everyone a (check’s notes) Mercedes-Benz, micro mobility concept test vehicle No. 523… come back to me. I can do better 🤔 

You guys 🥹

Look the beans were great, but our own bender-hookers-and-blow meme. You shouldn’t have ☺️❤️❤️❤️

Since I was there…

That site’s got some next level paywall nonsense… got about halfway through the article in my Lemmy app, decided I wanted to share the link with someone, opened in Safari and it purposely replaces the content with some kind of automatic greek text.

It’s a shame, archive.org links tend to scare off old people…

Thank you for taking the time to clarify all that.

Tilt is really critical for a good drawing and especially painting experience.
