I’m very curious who these people were to Phoebe and why a 17 year old is living with 30 year olds in the first place.
- Comment on Oh really? 1 week ago:
As Gratux explained style or padding. Once one section of an exam is down they occasionally pad it and the last (back) page is generally left blank and is the designated “doodle to amuse yourself/examiner” space.
- Comment on Oh really? 1 week ago:
There’s actually a purpose for this I found out after joking about similar on exam papers. Turns out if you don’t mark the page intentionally blank people freak out that they’re missing a page.

Good point, cheers.

I would wait until your circumstances change to be honest. At least until your +18 due to (if I recall) the younger you are, the more likely negative health outcomes are.
Also my first couple of times it was pretty full on and while panic and negative thought spirals are rare, it’s be a shame to wreck your first few times because you’re worried about someone coming home early/enviroment. Also, absolutely do not tried while intoxicated, regardless of the substance.
To answer your question, you make friends who are in the scene and know how to source some. Buying from strangers is a great way to buy cooking herbs from dickheads. If it’s an option, legal or medical is the far superior route even if it can be tedious.

There is a language filter available
Holy shit you’re awesome. I must have missed this due to never using the site. Thanks!
- Comment on ‘I would defy ICC, welcome Benjamin Netanyahu to Australia’, says Peter Dutton 1 month ago:
“I have grave concerns about the conduct of the International Criminal Court. I’ll state that and I’ll be very clear about it. I have grave misgivings about their approach, about the culture, and what this means for Israel and for our allies.”
Anything more concrete and tangible than that Mr “party of law and order” who’d disobey an international court because of his feelings? Chances are that might require explicitly denying war crimes.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 months ago:
It’s a preposterous claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it. Any idiot can see it doesn’t withstand a moment’s thought.
claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it
I work in tech
Multiple sources including a fucking Microsoft researcher
Bayesian filtering is a legacy strategy and Microsoft, for example, does not use it any more (because it’s inferior) except for legacy on-prem setups. Given you’ve attempted to be insulting, put words in my mouth and failed to provide supporting articles for your opinion I’m out. As I get enough of these sort of conversations at work and unless I start billing you… Lol’d at “Mr exchange server admin” though ngl.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 months ago:
Never claimed that, said that because that’s why I’m aware of it, not that it indicates any authority.
Did you honestly just google “scammer typos” so you could provide me with an expert source?
Not quite but pretty much yep. Given you claimed it was “nonsensical” I had hope me showing sources that weren’t just my saying so might make you reconsider your position. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it didn’t.
It’s a preposterous claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it. Any idiot can see it doesn’t withstand a moment’s thought.
You’re free to google “scammer typos” and check out the results yourself given there seems to be nothing I can do or link to convince that this is a silly hill to die on.
is that including typos in order to evade filters improves response rates because it improves deliverability and does not discourage a significant number of victims.
What filters are these? I’ll have to keep an eye out for the grammar section in the inbound spam/phishing policies next time I’m managing a client in the exchange section of their tenant. Bad luck for those who don’t spell well, can’t use spell check or are ESL, I guess. Mistyped URL or domain however sure are a thing.
Er go, the type of people who become victims are not likely to be discouraged by typos.
*Ergo. I guess you’ve made up your mind, based on god knows what. I’ll leave with a link from a university’s IT department from your google search terms, feel free to look at the rest of them any time you like.
It’s on purpose. If you can spot it, they don’t want you.
But what would the opinions based on another “Mr security guy”, aka a Microsoft researcher know.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 months ago:
I’m not arguing about this. Especially not with a baby account. This is an opinion informed by expert opinion on the matter, and I work in tech. If you think it’s “nonsensical” that’s on you.
However, the reason why phishing emails have so many typos is simple—they’re intentional and are included by design. The scammer’s goal is to send phishing emails to a very gullible, innocent victim. If they have typos, they’re essentially weeding out recipients too smart to fall for the scam.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 months ago:
Because you’re selecting with people who lack experience with scam/critical thinking to figure out they’re scams.

Thanks for the informative reply! I was worried how my questions came off. I didn’t realise pink washing spanned to detention centres as well. Almost laughable if it wasn’t depressing.
- Comment on Bring your friends! 3 months ago:
Not trans so my opinion on the matter isn’t worth much but why lines 2,3 and four? What does communities not cops even mean? Communities will handle the spiralling gang war fuelled by illicit tobacco trade? Why not just a trans day of visibility that focuses on trans people/rights instead of that plus policing, indigenous issues and so on? At least two can be about trans people who are incarcerated I guess. Probably ignorant of me but I don’t know.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 3 months ago:
That easier done with more involved scams like phone calls you see YouTubers do. Especially since they likely paid for that info. Places like here there no buy in so it’s a volume game i imagine. If I can’t get you to another platform to buy me stuff I’d move on to the next one quickly as possible.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 3 months ago:
The same reason a lot scam emails are riddled with typos, follow recognisable formats (eg nigerian prince) and can be easily determined as scams. If you can spot it you aren’t the mark. It’s a form of selection bias. If your recognise Nicole you probably aren’t new to Lemmy or the Fediverse and are a bad mark. I’d guess, I never followed the links, don’t generally follow links dm’d from random, days old accounts in general. Maybe Nicole truly is just thirsty for Lemmy friends and keeps getting banned lmao.

Finally got blessed with an inbox from Nicole today and found this post. Hope this lady at least sent these images to someone and it’s not just someone creeping on their cam.

FYI in the future take a screenshot. There’s a couple ways to do it; either with the print screen button or ctrl+win+s.
- Comment on Why were all the mods removed from this community today, leaving it un-modded? 3 months ago:
Right, but as you had explained ages ago by this point it isn’t going to be “unmoderated”. So pack it in.
As much as they’ve been obnoxious recently, I don’t have a problem with conservatives having a space here so I don’t think they would/should be deleted unless more of this sort of content continues.

You insist on not being a nazi yet nazi content and mods that facilitated it being banned sure seems like the hill you’re hellbent on trying to die on.
- Comment on Too many young people find doing a day's work 'stressful', says Liz Kendall 4 months ago:
Exactly, I know the type because I’m related to similar. Looks down on such work, would never do such work but everyone else is lazy because they won’t do it. Classic.
- Comment on Too many young people find doing a day's work 'stressful', says Liz Kendall 4 months ago:
I don’t know the career of this particularly woman but a politician ragging on the work ethic of anyone is hilarious.
What statistic is she basing this on, any or just her feelings? Just go work at a grocery store? Maybe she should ask these “managers” who’s she’s basing this opinion on what their turn around on employees is, what their wages and guaranteed hours are. The opinion of managers on the work ethic of anyone means less than shit to me having met at least one manager in my life and having work retail/hospo before.
Pretty easy to advocate for “young” people to go work shitkicker jobs in retail and hospo when you sit at a desk in air con all day for a living. I know if I lost my current career I sure as fuck won’t go back.
- Comment on Reddit Sub Ban Wave 4 months ago:
Didn’t go back to reddit and am not trans but I just wanted say, otherwise your journey has been exactly the same as mine! From Kbin to lemm.ee and RIP apollo indeed. There’s a lot of trans friendly comms and instances in general. 196 may be a familiar name and the blahaj instance in general seems trans friendly. Depends on what type of comms you’re looking for. Check out voyager if you haven’t already, very reminiscent of Apollo. Welcome back.

The faces in the photo are blurred, I assume this was done by the ABC since they included the picture in their article.
- Comment on SA Police arrest man for allegedly displaying Nazi symbol as two neo-Nazis granted bail 4 months ago:
Probably shitty to say but I think if you’re willing to stand around in public as part of a nazi display you shouldn’t get your face blurred by the press.
