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.

While I agree with most of what you said, I think that the idea that this is a result of carelessness mixed with callousness is wrong. Don’t forget these are the people that believe in things like eye for an eye, teaching “lessons”, divine punishment, and that God provides you with what you deserve. They also know that the Houthis are a tight-knit culture. That they are going to live amongst family and other Houthis.
I have no doubt that the civilian casualties were a feature and not a bug. They chose their targets for the greatest “impact”. They intended to send a “signal” and teach a “lesson”. And the dead civilians were that message.

The “enough work” problem is the story of my childhood… I have way too many memories of sitting in the garage, or on the driveway, either freezing to death or being eaten alive by mosquitoes, at 2:30 a.m. while trying to hold a light absolutely still in just the right position…

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

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.

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.

Wow, I didn’t think it was going to be possible for me to have less respect for, or more grossed by, the guy doing Nazi salutes on tv… but yet, here we are. These people are so fucking weird…

If the bus went 600 miles an hour and every one on board might die because a duck decided to take flight at the wrong time? Then ya I think there would be some serious celebration every time the bus stopped.

Ranching buffalo is more trouble and cost over cows. It’s sort of like trying to swap out your house cats for bobcats.

Shitty milk tastes shitty. I have no understanding why schepps continues to exist. It’s like they have stripped everything that makes milk milk, and now just sell white water. I’m not a huge fan of Borden either, but that’s just a taste prefer. At least Borden is still milk.
People who drink 2% or 1% milk? WTF are you even doing with your life? Whole milk is only 3 or 3.5%, so how much fucking milk are you drinking that 1% less fat is going to save your life? Do you dip your cookies in that shit? Why do you hate yourself? Did you know that fat slows your digestion? By removing fat from your milk and cookies or milk and cereal you’re actually speeding up how fast the sugar hits your blood stream and increasing how concentrated it is going to be.
So, maybe you hate milk and cookies because you have been drinking shitty milk.

Just make sure you don’t do anything that might cause severe and permanent damage like spritzing a little water on it.
