That’s how websites use them to determine if you are a bot or not.

However, the companies that ever so nicely provide the captcha technology, and never ending supply of unique pictures… They don’t do that just because they love paying for the bandwidth and hosting all of this stuff for free. They use your clicks to train their AIs in image identification.

Fair warning, the naked fat guy with the bow and arrow is not Cupid. He is just an exhibitionist. An arrow to the heart will NOT make you fall in love.

I think the saying is “9 out of 10 people that have ever been involved in a gang rape approve of gang rapes.”. Because the way you said it is, well, a much rougher neighborhood.

Try Notepad++, its free, open source, and well worth the minimal effort to download and install.

Trump literally and blatantly committed treason. I’m sure we’ll get around to doing something about that soon.

Same thing, different name.

It’s a decentralized pyramid scheme. It’s a way for the rich to syphon money from the gullible and gambling addicts.
That’s all there is to it, it’s not really hard to understand.

If they send this to enough people, it’s extremely likely that they hit someone who has recently given their number to someone new. This message hits a lot differently if you are hoping for or expecting contact from a number you don’t know.
This message is actually really well crafted for targeting someone who is lonely and trying to put themselves out there.

Every M-F I get up and join the morning convoy on my way to work, and then in the evening I convoy home. It’s not a flashy convoy but we line those vehicles up, three lanes wide and miles long.

Oh God, your comment triggered my PTSD… One of my first jobs I worked at, I had to restock, multiple times a day, a bin with a bunch of items that were very delicate and wrapped in super thin & delicate plastic. But the box they came in was made of super heavy duty cardboard. Like this shit was originally intended to be some kind of bullet proofing material but accidentally got used to make boxes. Even worse though was that each open end of the box was glued shut with enough glue to stick the Titanic back together and still have some left over and then stapled.
I hated those boxes.

That’s not how this works, that’s not how any of this works.

The bots here are too busy spreading propaganda and shilling for mega-corps.

Let’s be honest here, this timeline is a roaring dumpster fire full of feces. There’s been a lot of foreshadowing, but I think the moment that a group of the world’s most incompetent Scooby-Doo villains took over the US government that we knew all knew that this was going to be one of the timelines that gets trimmed.

Mix together sitting for hours in a doctor’s office with no wifi, shitty cell service, and more than a smidge of ADHD and that’s the result. 🤷

Always have been. Or at least since the beginning of the world wide web.
Stores had long used the “low price guarantee” slogan to draw customers. And they had trained the average customer to believe that it meant they had the lowest prices. Back in those days price comparisons were hard. Sales ads changed every week or two but other than what was in the ads you had to go from store to store checking the price yourself. Yes, you could call around to different stores, but that was unreliable. Even just getting stores phone numbers was a hassle. Plus, most stores didn’t have their inventory computerized, and the ones that did were only close to correct once a year, right after they did their yearly inventory. So they just had to keep track of a couple of their closest and biggest competitors. If you tried hard enough you could save a few dollars, but it was rare and took a lot of effort. Most people would settle on what they thought was the “best store” and just stick with it. Even when a competitor had a sale at a significantly lower price that was simple enough for them to deal with, they would just pull their stock from the shelves and put a sign on it in the back room that said don’t sell until a certain date. If you shopped somewhere like Sears or circuit City where their sales people worked on commission, You could sometimes develop a relationship with one of the veteran sales people as “your guy”. And they would be able to have this insane knack for “searching the storeroom” for you and “mysteriously” finding the “last box that had been misplaced”.
Then Walmart came on the scene and was a huge pain in the ass by actually having cheaper prices on a lot of things. Enough companies complained that eventually a few suppliers would have a special model number for a few high dollar items that they sold to Walmart and then a different model number for everyone else. But this was only on a few things like computer stuff and car stereos.
And then the internet came along and they were forced to slowly start giving just about every store “unique models”.

500,000 people a year used to die from polio every year. Death. Death is the side affects of not getting vaccinated.

They don’t believe that the party is innocent at all. They know that awful shit is happening, but they chose to lie to themselves, and others, because the Republicans deliver something that they value more than their self respect, or respect of others. For most, it is permission to hate. There’s someone, or some group that they hate so much that they are fine with whatever is “actually happening” as long as they can hate, and their hate is rightous and justified. With enough little lies like “both sides are doing it, so what are you going to do?” stacked on top of each other, then they can disassociate the awfulness from themselves and their party, and shift their disgust for what is being done to the other party.
You just have to realize that the strength of their hate for the Democrats is actually how much they hate then and their own party. So, knowing how much mental effort and emotion goes into lieing to themselves and everyone else, you now have some idea of how truly awful their little secret is.

I honestly think I would be less grossed out of he was an actual alien, and not just some weirdo super rich illegal alien dropping anchors babies.

Don’t forget you can only share 1 screen, not like I might want to show someone both a UI and the diagnostic text at the same time. And God forbid that you and the person you are talking to have wildly different screen sizes… Sure I’m on my 15 in laptop, why not go ahead and share what is on your 35in 8k monitor, im sure teams will work it out.

That definitely influenced me. I think that technically makes you an influencer too.
