So, what you’re saying is we know people that choose rogue-like characters are narcissistic.

People that choose Barbs, on the other hand, very much loving the party they’re with, even if they have no idea what’s going on.

Financially protects her employer. The police can bust someone, but it won’t get the money back. So it works two-fold. Makes trying to rip people off seem less enticing because the risks of being caught are higher than what the government can handle, this in turn also reduces financial risks for her employer too. So she’s a sought after security investment that also gets to help everyday people too.

Best way to describe it, “whitehat”. Maybe grey t times… Something cybersec actually pays well for now where it used to just be a good ethics hobby.

They were in an X-Files episode where someone was robbed/killed for them. S6E10, “Tithonus”. But, yeah, fad didn’t last long because they quickly became a bit of a “what a loser” item, even for us that were kids at the time.

Mostly fraud, scamming, identity theft, credit theft, etc. Her employer’s industry can be a breeding ground for it, so she goes hunting for them. It protects them and the government relies on the collaboration.

But there’s big responsibility. Unfortunately it seems a lot of people drag their family and friends into things by lying or scamming them too, trying to set them up as a scapegoat if they are discovered. So a big part of it is making that side of the story evident too before handing things over to the fed. Mother’s and siblings are the most frequent and hey’ll do all these fraudulent things they’re not aware of because their trusted family member with their “legitimate” business said it’s fine, so they don’t question it.

My sister does this as a job. Builds big evidence piles and then hands them to federal authorities. They do the drive up and handcuff part, then lawyers do the rest. But if it’s evidence she’s compiled, you can be sure the defence can’t do much else than minimise penalty/jail time.

The best part is she is able to do things the police can’t, then use that information to set up smoking guns that law can use.

It’s about as superhero as someone can get without getting off the computer.

Blocked Shorts in first weeks because it quickly was full of this.

And if anyone wants to discover music, get a scrobbler for a good music network. By design, algorithms pigeonhole. That’s just how math works. You need the tried and true method of community sharing and (most) scrobblers are, essentially, a modern take on “word of mouth”. Music has only ever been best discovered and broadened to listeners when recommended from other explorers.

My dogs just disappear off into the dark. When I see pairs of eyes glowing back at me, I know they’re mid-poop.

Certainly increases the chances for strokes.

As for what would be at the top of the arch, Trump said it would be a gilded “Lady Liberty.”

“That’s Lady Liberty. Did you ever hear of Lady Liberty?” Trump said.

I like my PC being my PC. The more it does things I don’t ask of it or tell it to do, the more I will seek alternatives.

One of the most frustrating parts of MS products these days is that you’re just along for the ride. And unlike Apple which is just the same, MS has far less intuitive behaviour or method. I would say their products are for beginners or those not tech literate, but the failure rate and amount of complex troubleshooting required for MS products and environments are easily the most challenging and frequent. It does not help that Windows Update constantly introduces new issues to the OS and other software while undoing any previous workarounds.

That company doesn’t get to touch my stuff anymore. It’s like trusting your car to a four year old.

Since this is just a picture with a “scientists” statement, which are usually false facts …

Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer.

The paragon of free markets learning about how free markets work.

Exporter: “Why would I pay the tarrifs? I’m competing with prices as it is, I’d run a deficit.”

Importer: “Well why would I pay the tarrifs? I don’t even want the thing.”

Consumer: “Well why would I pay the tarrifs?”

Exporter: “Okay, goodbye. We’re shifting US market funds to elsewhere.”

Elsewhere: Thanks, US! Competitively lower prices and higher quality products."

Most interesting part is all the shipping companies that have just cut out the US due to all the companies bailing. My partners been advised by DHL they’ll do it, but it costs more now because of low traffic and the US buyer has to foot the bill first + the tarrif. But obviously my partner’s company decided they’re not shipping to the US anyway. It’s like a “special order” thing to contact them about.

Impacts the US companies in the industry too since all the best materials for that industry come from Asia. They may be US-based but focusing on international markets instead too, since obviously sales of their products with tariffs on the price will drop sales massively.

No body on earth could’ve seen this coming. Absolutely nobody. Not a single person. No one. The day tarrifs were mentioned, couldn’t have seen this coming from miles away. Absolute shock.

The UN has said that at least 22 people were killed in the first days of the protests that started on 25 September at the call of a youth-led movement called “Gen Z”.

That’s any smart device. Unless you’re the one.doimg the updates.yoirself, they will all become obsolete as technology evolves. This is the case here too; sounds they just don’t have enough people using them to justify figuring out how to keep them working as new devices and platforms roll on. 9.5 years is an alright run, comparatively.
