i don’t think shearer and micah can pull it off themselves going forward. they’re both good but, let’s face it, neither has the gravitas needed to anchor the show.

- Comment on How are scammers getting my email address? 3 weeks ago:
employees of companies with whom you’ve registered that email id sell it for some quick cash on the side.
i can aver this confidently since i know someone from dominos pizza has leaked my email id. i have a convoluted gmail id which i use to register to all these services and – because it’s gmail – i can set up random dots and a custom phrase behind a + to register specific variants to specific companies (e.g., abcxyz123@gmail vs. ab.c.xyz123+dominos@gmail).
all the spam and pseudo-phishing email is sent only to the variant which i’ve registered to dominos and not to a different variant (e.g., a.bcxyz123+bankname@gmail) registered to any other company.
the leaked email id doesn’t contain a name and is too random for it to just be “guessed” by the spammers.

one must appreciate the vision and legislation that’s enforced that particular phrasing. it becomes so much more starker – how cavalierly your data is treated.

conjecture: maybe autocorrect once got hold of “bugger” and things kind of evolved from there?

With the runners of the study finding that they were unable to replicate such a technique, it lends credibility to the claim that story may have been fabricated.

- Comment on I try. 2 months ago:
i’d say that’s the point? the dog is looking at the limited colours it can see, not comprehending that the researcher that laid out the graph has an increased ability in perceiving colours.
it’s a manifestation of the dunning-kruger effect.

the creator of this meme originally wanted to include mars instead of earth (which would have made it more technically accurate), but couldn’t because it is the men that are supposed to be from mars.

- Comment on What is the anime obsession with maids? 3 months ago:
would it be about control? a fantasy about having access to a modernised version of a slave who is bound to do the protagonist’s oft-perverted bidding with reduced rights of their own?

- Comment on Why Are So Many Americans Choosing to Not Have Children? It’s probably not selfishness, experts say. Even young adults who want children see an increasing number of obstacles. 3 months ago:
even if there were no obstacles, why is not having children deemed selfishness? there’s a degree of unnecessary judgement in that position.
a person can take an informed decision to not add to the population of the most invasive form of life that this planet has ever seen. if anything, there is no more selfless choice.
