Sure, it’s not about wasting their time; this says they’re using a 3rd party service to verify, so theoretically they’re paying for that service. It’s about wasting their money.

I wonder if they pay per verification. If so, I wonder how hard it would be to set up a script to just keep submitting new requests a few hundred or thousands of times a day with random photos…

If you enjoy the old school vibe, City of Heroes has been revived through a community effort, and is free with all of the original content plus some new stuff. This has been given official blessing so it’s not going to disappear suddenly.

TL;DR is at MTG put forth a bill to remove funding for Israel’s missile defense system from the US budget. 429/435 House reps voted against it, including AOC, but then she made a very tone-deaf tweet basically saying “The bill was trying to remove funding for Israel’s ability to defend themselves from the people they’re genociding, of course I voted against it!” and it’s causing massive backlash against her.

Possible reasons why this happens:

• An update was recently released that changed the game for the worse, causing long-time players to change their review.
• It’s an early access title that’s been abandoned by the developer, and is being justifiably review bombed as a result.
• It was recently included in a bundle, so there’s a lot of new players who weren’t interested enough to buy the game on its own, but played it after receiving it in the bundle and were unimpressed. I’d give this one the least weight, because often times those are players who just don’t like the genre or went in with too-high expectations for a low budget game.

I’d give him or her a pass

I know what you mean, but ‘give them a pass’ typically means to overlook bad behavior and not hold them accountable, not to pass on electing them.

I honestly think if politicians had to live solely on the median income in the state or country they represent, we’d be seeing a lot more legislation that’s in the interest of the working class. Or a lot more corruption and under-the-table dealings, but certainly one or the other.

As did 428 others; makes me curious what the actual content of that bill was, and why it was so vehemently opposed.

I love that this sentence works no matter if you interpret that as “Point of sale” or as “Piece of shit”.

$8 billion lawsuit

They want Mr Zuckerberg and his co-defendants to reimburse the company for more than $US8 billion ($12.2 billion) in fines and other costs Meta paid following the controversy.

So… a $12.2 billion lawsuit, then?

I’m not a medical professional nor do I use hearing aids, so I might be misinterpreting the situation here, but are the speakers actually the problem? Presumably the other nurse’s headphones were capable of playing the sounds in that range; the problem was your hearing aid. How does having another speaker playing those same sounds help, if your hearing aid still isn’t able to correctly handle them?

It seems like what you’d actually need is something that can take in the sounds in the 20-100 hz range, but play them back in the 100-3000 hz range, so your hearing aid can pick them up, no?

It’s great. Trump’s ego won’t allow him to just let the Epstein situation go. If he’d just stop talking about it, stop drawing attention to it, stop denying it, it’d have a better chance of going away eventually. As long as he keeps it in the forefront of everyone’s mind, it never will.

Calling it now: Putin and Trump had a falling out, Trump wants Zelenskyy to attack Moscow hoping that it either 1) kills Putin or 2) puts the pressure on Putin to capitulate (to Trump) somehow.

This is nothing to do with ceasefire talks or Ukraine at all. This is between Trump and Putin.

Man, it would be incredible if Epstein and Trump’s inability to shut up about it is what brings this regime down.

I think this is highly dependent on what you’re logging into.

Bank account? Please require both. Some account on a random store website? Could not care less about security, I just want to buy socks.

I don’t know how much truth there is to it, but one compelling reason I’ve heard is that adult content has a considerably higher chargeback rate than other content, making the risk much higher for payment processors. This makes sense - I could absolutely see some horny person buying some adult content, getting off to it, then doing a chargeback in their moment of introspection.

Yeah, I quite like what we made this year. Wish we’d had more people getting involved - would have been neat to have like, 10 or so small things in there.

Obviously far too early to start planning something, but I think we should go with a collage of instantly recognizable furry gateway characters - Disney’s Robin Hood, Gadget Hackwrench, Nick Wilde / Judy Hopps, Lucario, Renamon, etc. - and prep the image a month or so in advance, then start posting it around a few furry subs to publicize it. If we can get any traction on the design ahead of time, it’d be easier to get people on board with making it.

We’re intending to get organized a bit earlier next year - love to have you then!
