Capital One does something similar and it’s so fucking annoying. They send text messages that read “Your transaction for some company was DECLINED! Take action now: http://someweirddomain.com/sketchy/uri”
I used URL Checker to figure out where it ultimately landed and it does go to Capital One.
I’ve even complained about this and they said, “Well, you should know these texts only come from us.”
Isn’t Ubuntu available on the Microsoft store? I could have sworn it was
More like “I don’t have to behave because I have the money to convince everyone else that it’s their responsibility to do better.”
I’ve never asked them how much they make off of it.
They all have regular jobs so I imagine not enough.
I went in a date with a relatively popular OF model. I didn’t know until she shared it during the date. She was cute but there wasn’t chemistry and chatted as friends for a bit but then she tried to sell me on her OF, at which point I said no thanks.
A handful of my regular friends do OF on the side.
Everyday, Veep becomes more accurate.
Maybe before they needed to lick Trump’s taint. They would rather get on his good side than be “regulated” to death.
Just because he has disposable income doesn’t mean he isn’t using his capital to try to impress a young woman and even create an aire of obligation to her.
Hell, I’m in my 40s and dating someone that makes roughly a third of what I do. My responsibility to her is to pick dating spots that she can afford, NOT pay for everything.
This isn’t about him liking her but how this message is being mingled in with money. There is an inherent power dynamic when it comes to wealth and men especially.
To pretend it doesn’t exist shows the immense privilege that exists.
Arrests don’t mean anything.
Are they getting convicted?
Almost like they want to profit by harming kids.
I’m going to disagree slightly.
IMO, outlook is bloated. It has too many features that are either confusing or difficult to use. Microslop should have released a completely new mail app and given it a new providence along with modern features.
Think gmail but it would work with any email account.
Made with modern programming practices. Streamlined and zippy.
But nope.
They needed to create Outlook (new). Which they enshittified.
I fucking hate Outlook. It is stuck in the age of emails being the primary source of communication in a company. Teams isn’t any better. (Give me back slack please!!!)
But let’s be clear here: we (the users) aren’t Outlook customers. Corporate IT is. And from their standpoint, Outlook does exactly what they need it to do.
Behind The Bastards made a very interesting observation:
In almost every society, the rich and/or powerful get so used to not being bound by the law, that they effectively push themselves to break more laws to see what they can get away with. It inevitably ends with them being pedophiles.
Robert Evans has said that he doesn’t know if powerful people are actually pedophiles or if they are simply drawn to the power that they can become pedophiles without any consequences. But he also says it’s a difference without a distinction.
The absolute best case scenario: someone wants an EV and used Teslas have hit rock bottom prices due to people selling them.
But at this point, people by a Tesla because they want to lick Musk’s taint.
Conservative logic be like: “It’s personal responsibility. If you don’t want to get an abortion, just don’t have sex!”
Also Conservatives: “We can’t have anyone look at porn! So we must make it as difficult as possible for people to view porn.”
Here’s the thing: we can’t even trust them to release the unredacted files at this point. There is no 100% truth with this administration.
If they did release unredacted files, we’d have to ask why. We’d have to ask “why now? What’s missing?”
The sad thing is that this is the alt-right goal: to erode trust in our systems. And they have fucking succeeded in spades.
This almost seems like a canary. If an AI bot pulls the code and submits a PR, the meow would be and indicator that AI was used.
During COVID: we made record profits!!! But we can’t afford to give anyone raises
During AI: We spent too much money on tokens. So we can’t afford to give anyone raises.
I usually mumble. That usually gets me to a human.

I didn’t read this as AI sentients but as AI killing the world through its irresponsible use of resources like water and electricity.
Basically, he’s saying “I need to get as rich as possible so that I can have enough money to survive the water wars.”
