No, it was more like “I can benefit while helping someone in a time of need, so why not.” I wouldn’t have purchased had we not been in an unprecedented situation. That’s part of why it felt so shitty when I thought I saw signs of a potential scam.
They sent a set of pics and vids.
I believe trademark would be the proper area for something like this. I don’t believe it would be enforceable, but could be weaponized to bleed someone of money via court. Not a lawyer.
At the start of the pan, someone advertised nude media to make extra cash during the initial lockdown. I sent the $20 or whatever it was. Turned out they wanted to draw more cash and that was only the opener. Felt like a scam and I blocked them. Felt I had been conned. Never knew if that’s true for sure.
Otherwise, only shitty products and services that came from corporations.
No one really knows. When asked to define it, people on the right have no concrete idea. It’s just a word that they use to symbolize everything they don’t like.
Get to a protest.
Moving to California Bay Area. Decision literally happened in about three hours.
I was planning on leaving if the orange got reelected. I only didn’t because in the years between when I made that decision (2021) and now, I found myself in a relationship cohabitating with my partner. She’s here as a refugee and can’t leave or that gets rescinded. It took some serious soul searching to decide to retract my longstanding plan to escape this hellish fascist-speedrun. I was even doing phone interviews. If you think you could be happy, do it.
I’m not hiding my tattoos, but I also live in the Bay Area and everyone and their dog has tattoos here.
I got your back.
Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.
Every day, I think about how lucky I am. Because my father stressed education and taught me to read and forced me to do summer writing projects. Because I enjoy reading and learning as a result (even though I hated those projects). That I was born to a family that didn’t suffer financial hardship. That I’m male in a world that rewards that. That I’m a white guy in a country that punishes everyone else. It’s fucked up.
Walking in on them, however… I thought they were fighting each other at first. Still less traumatic, though.
There is no spoon.
People are downvoting, but Russia isn’t having a huge effect on our education system. White christian nationalists and billionaires are. The call is coming from inside the house, people.
That doesn’t mean the orange bad isn’t a puppet of the Russian state.
There was a study that confirmed this mentioned on a podcast that I listen to in the last couple of weeks. I tried to find it, but I didn’t spend much time. It was on the Grumpy Old Geeks podcast, if anyone wants to search more than I did. I think our phones and social media are the cause.
Anyway, what does this have to do with technology?
Samsung is one of the largest tech companies in the world. I don’t think that’s debatable.
Woodworking?
No, they didn’t offer to sell more media. They directly asked for free money with a sob story.
