  • Google is unusable these days even if they didnt. Im pretty sure that all the major search engines are colluding to reduce the quality of search results. My suspicion is that this is to make sharing information more difficult, and thereby aid the rise in fascism.

    For fascist policies to survive education must die. I dont know what things look like overseas, but at least in the US the timing of the current regime and the collapse of the usability of google are just too coincedental.

    Theres a lot. Its probably best to check it yourself as i only have second hand knowledge, but I know shes faced allegations of sexual misconduct multiple times, theres the stuff with eminem, theres the claim she stole “all i want for christmas” but i believe that was either dismissed or settled, its just a bunch of stuff. She doesnt seem like a genuinely shitty perosn, but from the sheer number of controversies shes not someone i would want to personally associate with or look up to.

    Its a long story lol. Wanted to show off for a woman, happened to mention i have nerve damage and cant feel certain types of pain. Funnily enough, that does not extend to thermal pain but whatevs. She branded me, and then we never saw each other again XD super cool brand though.

    Just in case, branding here refers to using a red hot piece of metal to burn an imprint onto skin

    Kidney stone is a ten, getting stabbed in the arm is about a 7, broken tailbone at about an 8, stubbed toe at about a 5. Papercut at a 2. Single punch or slap at a 1. Getting branded was about a 3 for like 15 seconds then it dropped down to a 1.

    Its all objective of course but thats pretty much my scale

    Edit: depression induced phantom pain at an 6, maybe a 7. Kinda feels like what i would imagine a heart attack to feel like





  • Spammers go for the easiest targets. If you do stuff like this, they might redesign their system to make it LESS likely to send to you. Keep in mind theyre targetting the elederly, mentally handicapped, and the emotionally desperate. They specifically DO NOT want to target the educated, technologically literate, and those that will waste their time. By attempting to technologically limit them from their scams, you make it more difficult for them to target you and it makes it obvious theyre not worth your time.

    Its not about making yourself scam proof, its about making yourself an unappealing target.

    (This all applies to scam emails, dunno if it has any effect if the goal is phishing but i would imagine so. If they can phish 5 people in the time it takes to phish you, youre no longer their target.)

    Edit: this is why scam emails look obviously scammy, with misspelled words and grammarical errors. Its not a mistake, its an attempt to preemptively weed out people who want to waste their time





  • I know youre making a referance, but im making this comment for others that might not have the context of this artist.

    No one in this meme is being a dick, theyre not actually upset about the photo. People send this artist photos with the intention that he will do some goofy shit that is generally not what you would think of when you think of “fixing” the photo.
