I agree 100%.

Honestly it can start small, just be somewhere where harmless friendly interactions can happen. Walking around, at the store, just doing mundane things.

Then more social at bars, or schools, or even churches if that’s their vibe.

Think of it as an iceberg & Chrome users as a boat.

Assuming no changes, this is landing in Chrome Canary now, so we’re watching the Chrome Canary boat hit the iceberg. The Chrome Beta boat is going to hit in a few weeks. Finally the Chrome Stable boat is scheduled to hit in mid November.

Now Google may choose to hold back actually enabling this flag immediately. It wouldn’t be the first delay. But likely in mid November is when all the posts will start to appear of people asking where their ad blocker went.

(Although I’m guessing it actually is delayed until after the holidays and in the new year, but that’s just wild speculation.)

Anti skub.

Get that jar outta here.

Sure, but it’s also like, if you’re stepping away from your laptop for a few minutes should you lock the screen or shut it down completely.

The most secure option is to shut it down completely, but also it’s fine to just lock your screen.

If you’ve already got a VPN and it’s as easy as locking your screen to enable, go for it, use it. But if you don’t, you don’t need to go out and get one. You’ll generally be ok without one.

Perhaps even funnier, this year marks the 25th anniversary of The West Wing. The reason I know that is a new West Wing YouTube celebrating the anniversary just appeared and starting posting videos of the highlights.

If you visit this channel and look at the top video, you find the exact video he plagiarized the speech from. https://youtu.be/sZ_Q-3AhoAs

So this wasn’t a speech he likely remembered and plagiarized, this is likely just a helpful YouTube recommendation.

This is the Internet, I don’t even have a dog.

Technically I don’t know that it’s offensive to taste.

And my dog likes it.

But I’m still not going to check.

It’s to ensure people remain on the outside and excluded.

If someone’s preferred bathroom in the men’s room, but they are forbidden from using it, they have a special bathroom to use. However we can’t have them privately using a bathroom. We have to put them on display. EVERYONE needs to know they are different. The goal is to exclude, the goal is to make them feel different, the goal is hate. It’s disgusting.

As students, hopefully, they just start to use the bathroom normally. If all students use it, then it’s not weird. Now that’s unfair to push on middle school students. But it’s an option.

Only video that’s ever made sense to me.

Do you feel the same way about Mastadon?

Yes.

I’m not sure that’s my reason, but I’ve never understood Twitter/Mastodon. It’s just shouting into a void.

You just pick something obvious and over elaborate on it. Big glasses, bright blue hat, etc also kids are mean, so pick a flaw, same idea.

On the one hand I agree, but also just because it can be fixed over the air doesn’t mean it’s not a major problem.

Plus imagine if a car manufacturer put VERY shitty software into their cars. If a manufacturer has 100 recalls a year, I want to know why. If they have 1, I want to know why.

Just because they are more easily fixed, doesn’t mean the recall isn’t important.

I had no idea he had a YouTube channel! I’ve got a year of content to catch up on. I’m so excited.

Yes, although BG2s starter dungeon is a whole act instead of a few rooms/battles.

But this mod is starting with the opening area, Waukeen’s Promenade, where the game opens up, (similar to act 1 in BG3).

Also technically BG2 has the tutorial area with Xan that is similar to BG3 in the sense of being a quick few rooms and battles to teach the basics.

Weirdly enough the monkey selfie probably establishes some precedence here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_dispute

Trump on nothing to hide,

Campos-Duffy: Would you declassify the Epstein files?

Trump: Yeah, yeah, I would.

Campos-Duffy: All right.

Trump: I guess I would. I think that less so because, you don’t know, you don’t want to affect people’s lives if it’s phony stuff in there, because it’s a lot of phony stuff with that whole world. But I think I would, or at least—

So no.

I’m not changing your stats, you still have a 14 wisdom.

You are however definitely turned into gray dust and I’m applying the rules as written about gray dust. The gray dust is restricted to the current room and can only form the shapes of various humanoids.

The spell specifies you turn into gray dust. Unfortunately gray dust has no listed stat block.

Luckily it is mentioned in “Tales from the Yawning Portal”, “The floor of this room is covered with a layer of fine gray dust and ash, three inches deep.”

Based on the rest of the description you are restricted to the room in which you turned to dust and the only action you may take is casting " Minor Illusion", with the added restriction of all illusions must be humanoid.

It’s hard to say.

For discussion threads I think it makes sense and that’s what I really want to see grow. When we only had films it was easier since you had only a few new films per week, and even less if you focused only on the blockbusters/comic book movies.

Now with TV shows you’ve got a new episode every week.

If you look at Reddit communities you had great discussion and memes week to week, and it only worked with folks hyper focused on the TV show.

Ideally I’d have separate communities for each show, but that would be spread super thin.
