fuck; I’m so used to dark patterns like these that whenever I read “cookie” my instincts flip and look for the less intuitive/hidden buttons instead. It took me a few seconds to even realize this was a dark pattern.

I deeply resent how much of my brain is occupied with sidestepping sneaky bullshit like this. It’s gotten to the point where I generally don’t use a website if I can’t use it without going through their permissions labrynth. I only put up with going through this one because I was researching turtles and there’s a paper cited on Wikipedia I just cannot find.
