You could make it single-use tokens and rate limit individual users when they request too many tokens in a short time. Someone could still share their tokens with a friend, but it doesn’t scale to where thousands are verifying with some stranger’s id.

They added an OS check to a website? What’s next, checking if your desk is sturdy enough to carry the weight of their javascript?

Both could use some more activity. (Like an asexual’s sex life amirite?)

You’re all talking about this as if he’s gay, but he clearly says his wife is the one having orgasms during gay sex.

Kinda disproven, but it’s also a question of what a word even is. Most of those snow words might not make it into a dictionary, but they will get their separate entries in a glossary for a book on snow, because the general sense of the word can be extracted from the parts, but words take on more precise meaning when they’re used more often.

However, we shouldn’t single out Inuits and snow, because the general principle is “words are created and forgotten according to need”. Carpenters have a lot of words for wood. Barely anyone still knows a lot of words for stone tools.

And sure, people who spend a lot of their life in snow will have a lot of words to describe their experiences with snow. But every human language can be used to describe any experience, even if you need to combine some words in new ways to do it. So when we say “Inuit have this many words”, we ignore that people don’t really communicate in single words, but saying “Inuit have this many sentences” makes it immediately obvious that it’s a silly thing to say: all languages have infinite sentences.

It was JFK Jr, he crashed a plane in the ocean in 1999, the year after Seinfeld ended.

The episode is S04E10 “The Contest”, “The Sponge” is S07E09 and Elaine is in a steady relationship with Puddy around that time, so who knows what she was using with Kennedy.

What? Of course you can, the entire Holocaust was about that. Unless “settler” in your mind is morally equivalent to “invader”, even when they’re third-generation German “settlers” in Brazil, a state that already existed for 200 years before the first-generation Germans even arrived.

Note that Germans in Brazil were not exterminated in any way. They were forced to assimilate during WW2, which is a form of genocide, but kept enough of their cultural identity that millions currently speak Riograndese Hunsrik, a German-Portuguese hybrid language.

The actual Nazis were nothing but hypocrites themselves. Propaganda did a good job of only showing the elite troops, but not every Nazi supporter looked like a buff soldier with a strong jawline. Most of them looked like normal people living normal 1930s lives, bad teeth, malnourished, scarred by measles and what not. They were telling themselves that their Aryan ancestry made them superior despite their obvious flaws, it’s the traditional Nazi coping mechanism.

And keep in mind it wouldn’t make their ideology any more right if they all looked like demigods. The problem isn’t them not conforming to their own ideals, it’s the violent oppression justified by those ideals.

Like Sword in the Stone Merlin on vacation?

Picture for reference:

I wish I was anime
I wish I looked anime
I wish I had an anime name
I wish I could go to an anime school

I think the problem with the marble run is the constant “rrrrrrr tick-tick rrrrr tick rrrr”, but aside from the noise it’s a great toy and a core component of any child’s toy box. It’s also the start of many Rube Goldberg machines running through your living room.

M.A.S.H

I use master and apprentice. Always two there are, no more, no less.

I try to listen to SMN once in a while, but I often leave it for when I can watch the video. It needs different editing to truly work as a podcast, there’s a lot of info presented as pictures or graphs and skimmed over by the narration. And you miss all the jokes made by the title card monkey.

The post includes a link to the very video, but here it is again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD3rSA4FSqk

It’s a very good analysis of political violence in the US. Cody Showdy generally does great work discussing not just the news, but the olds too. Fair and Balanced™©® and all that.

Atypical is pretty good, it’s a coming-of-age about an autistic teen. It managed to evade the Department of Premature Cancellations for 4 seasons and even reached a satisfying conclusion.

11 of those comms are on ani.social, an anime-centric instance where it is totally legit to split “pictures of anime girls” into more specific comms. It’s not unhinged or spam at all, but if you don’t want to see anime, probably best to block ani.social tbh.

I for one like to see all the moe on top of my local feed and not pushed down to page 5 of global.

Agreed, not just because someone is being an asshole. Everyone should feel the need to protect their personal information, because the world is full of assholes of different levels and your personal information being publicly available can only cause harm to you. It really is as simple as setting your profile to “friends only” to counter the lowest level of assholes.

Everyone regardless of victim status should use the tools available to protect their personal information online.

If someone is publishing your personal information without your consent, local laws and regulations may apply. You kinda have to be lucky with police and the legal system to take you seriously though.

How important is it to your theory that “hour” is related to “house” in… ancient Assyrian language? Because they’re completely unrelated in English, “house” coming from Germanic hus and “hour” coming from French ore. If we look at ancient Greek, the two are hoora for “hour” and oikos for “house”. I think English post-vowel shift has to be the first language where those two even sound similar.
