I love how there's basically nothing but love for Tool in these comments. I'm a big fan of whatever Maynard James Keenan's touching. I adore Puscifer and listen constantly (Grand Canyon is my current obsessive-replay song.. once again), APC literally always fucks hard so it's always an option, and Tool scratches an itch I can't get anywhere else. Saw Tool live finally, too, just like last year.

"I assume" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
as someone who runs GrapheneOS and looked into the possibility of doing contactless payments: no. it simply does not work. all the contactless payment apps can somehow detect you're not running the stock OS for the phone and choose to lock themselves down.
cashapp and venmo will also freeze your accounts almost immediately upon installation and login and, in my case with cashapp, insinuate you may be reported to law enforcement for fraud when you appeal with info about your phone lmao
Howdy, fellow buckaroo!

happens more than you might think. 4chan is a weird unique place. it's mostly unmoderated, which makes it the default locale for a lot of unsavory people tossed out of all the nice clubs. but it's not ONLY the unsavory people (the worst of which tend to keep to themselves anyway)
mostly, the result of the low level of moderation and lack of personal control over what you see (no "feeds" or anything, it's just a plain forum) is that you see a lot of people "raw".
they have no account attached to their posts, certainly no real identity. can this make shitty people feel emboldened to say shitty things? yes. can it lead to surprisingly meaningful moments of actual vulnerability between people who have no reason to hide? yes that too.
most of the non-extremist users of the site are, I think, people who prefer and engage with the latter, while just scrolling past the cringe edgy teenagers and dollar tree nazis thinking they have a secret club.
it is hard to find this kind of honesty and depth on other social media sites. reddit was a bit closer than the rest for a while when they had a very liberal registration policy (email didn't even need to be verified so throwaway accounts were common and accessible) but I think they've cracked down on that a bit in the name of ad profile profitability. even having an account that can "be found" by people you know or future friends you meet on the site can keep you from being willing to be totally open. on low-moderation anonymous forums like 4chan, there's no reason to worry about your "persona" or reputation. in fact, users who seek either tend to be universally ridiculed for it and told to return to other vapid sites.
it also has a reputation for its users being, um, generally some kind of neurodivergent. I think this is because of the very low quantity of social rules that have any consequence. social rules are exhausting, easier to just stay quiet past a certain point.
I agree folks are overestimating how many will switch. but also maybe you're underestimating too - a lot of browser installations are managed by the "family tech guy". the father, mother, brother, sister, aunt or uncle who sets up everyone's new laptops on Christmas and has the suggestions when you look for a new phone. we all know the type. a lot of us are the type.
setting up granny's laptop? I'll install whatever browser lets me automatically block the most "1000th visitor!" banner ads and change the desktop icon to the old AOL icon because that's all she knows the internet as. she doesn't know of care about the browser options so it's up to me. Chrome used to be fast and simple so it was the right choice. Firefox has caught up a fair bit on UX simplicity and speed and now offers better blocking and general security, so it just stole the crown for these installations imo. I trust it more to not let her mess the computer up, so even if I'm not using it as my main personal browser, it gets use here.
weird. who could have predicted a rug pull from an analytics and spyware company... lol.
if you get in bed with adtech vipers and don't anticipate problems, you're gullible as hell. if you don't stop them (or worse, if you let them) ad people will sell you, your soul, and your passion to the devil for a single penny.
yep. "oh, no shit? here I was thinking it was because they lacked the koalafications... smh"
Don't invite me over
don't worry, with an attitude like that, i don't think anyone was at risk of inviting you anywhere.
the problem with the humorous fake overshare strat is you'll eventually meet someone who will play into it and you'll either have a lot of fun or it will be uniquely horrible

Trump said it would be at "the Four Seasons" but didn't reserve shit. The hotel said, lol, no it won't be.
Walking it back and changing to a new venue would make him look incompetent and weak, as though he didn't plan ahead and like he lacks the authority and power to compel the booking at the hotel. So, some greasy sycophant snorted out a new idea, which is to find another business in the city with the name "Four Seasons" so they can spin it as a 9D chess move.
their hope was that instead of seeing "wow he didn't plan his speech", people would see "aha! we merely didn't understand his plan!" - and instead of "wow he doesn't command enough respect to make a hotel bow", his fans would see "haha! he dunked on the hotel! they thought he meant them because they think they're hot shit, but really our boy outwitted those execs and supported a local blue collar business!"
Trump naturally loved this because it saved his ego. and here we are.
