Yeah, I figured the prior person’s information would only be released when the new user provides the details for a valid email account. I’m (clearly) not a tech person, but that sounds relatively doable.

The problem with changing the terms is that you don’t know who’s going to join after you, so you don’t know that they want a song. You can look at that as the free market in action, but it’s also effectively a dead end for a purpose-built group.

It has also just occurred to me that people who want to commit fraud would also be interested in this, and perhaps giving them the opportunity to collect a bunch of potential blackmail ammunition is not ideal.

Yeah, I think you’re right and it’s unlikely that many people have such long friendships with people over entirely private media.

If you’re enjoying the hypotheticals, I’ve got another, but if they’re unhelpful/distracting, don’t feel obligated to indulge me. What if you had an open, anonymous community sharing a chain of emails, so each person joining the group would receive the email account made by the person before them and would make an email for the person joining after them? Obviously the feds could still infiltrate it, but they’d have a lot less data from any given user and they’d get the most data from the person who joins after they do, which they can’t control. Unless they monitor it 24/7 and get lucky, they wouldn’t be able to make sure every other user is a fed. That seems like it would also be relatively easy to detect, if every single time a new account joined, another immediately followed.

Oh, yeah. That’s a very real possibility. I assume trading only with trusted online friends (obviously one might trust the wrong person, but plenty of people have 20+ year old friendships with people whom they’ve never met irl, and ) would compound the problem by making your online network even more traceable?

Can we just perfect strangers this and I create zendayagirl67@gmail and you create shielaandstu@hotmail, then we trade?

Am I being very naive?

I’m pretty sure it’s roughly “at least we beat Vietnam”

So you just have to make them huge?

My dad tried that one with me as a child. It backfired, because I am now a registered communist.

Should be a violet wand

Seitan powder. You can get 100g of protein for less than a dollar, and it tastes however you want it to. I tend to add some better than bouillon and a little oil to the mixture (still less than a dollar) before steaming it, then use it like deli meat or spam, but there are a lot of different techniques and you can use whatever’s best for you.

Could you… make it better?

“They’re all trafficking something,” said Rep. Randy Fine, R-Florida. “They’re illegal, so it’s only a question of what they’re trafficking.”

Fine argues that plate-tracking tools should be used aggressively if they help identify undocumented immigrants or criminal networks.

“Until we’ve deported every single illegal immigrant, without exception, we need to do everything possible to get them,” he said. “We need to find them, catch them, and deport them.”

Fine is a caricature

Every single great achievement of mankind derives from our ability to cooperate. It sucks that people don’t realize that

Palantir UK chief Louis Mosley, grandson of British Union of Fascists founder Oswald Mosley

I know you don’t get to choose your family and it’s not Louis’ fault that Oswald was a fascist, but I do wonder if there were some “alternative” values that got passed down in the Mosley family

the sort of person who believes with the brain but not the liver

Meaning that they’re less likely to spit bile in their defense of religion, or is this a reference to some religious belief?

Blau, aber nicht blau

Weird that they didn’t just give them access to parking lots, that would have been way faster.

It is a screen capture of this ridiculous test though

I hope they fall in love during that appointment, eventually get married and the onetime patient is overjoyed to be Scruffy Sprinkles forever.

Unfortunately, with a name like that, something’s got to separate them, because old Scruffy is definitely an adventurer of some sort; I’m thinking a barbarian, but I could also see a very grim wizard or hexblade warlock. He’s going to have to go on a quest to find her, find an ingredient or medication for her to distribute, or avenge her, there’s no avoiding it.

I’m not disagreeing with the point of your statement, but I do want to clarify that vaginas absolutely stretch, just not permanently. You’ll have a very different experience if you work up to fisting over a couple of hours vs. launching right into it, because vaginas loosen with arousal.

3/8 phew

Neurodivergent, anti-AI, and, given the number of times I’ve inadvertently referenced internet culture and had to explain it to people, probably very online.

When does middle age start again?
