thanks for comprehending the reading so i don’t have to

4.5 million seems like not a very high budget unless it’s only meant to be seed money and release into early access like last epoch.

Moreover, users of the satellite receivers were involuntarily taking part in attacks and might have experienced reduced device performance during these occurrences.

the article isn’t 100% clear, but this line suggested to me that they were being used to perform attacks themselves (although it also states “Allegedly, the functionality was needed to counter the attacks of a competing entity.”)

anyone else remember low orbit ion cannon DDOSing? i guess life imitates art

edit: receivers. doy. reading comprehension is hard.

Eat me, bang me, fill me up with cream. Who gives a shit?

i had to put down my sweet, loving cat suddenly just this week so my heart goes out to you.

well it was sudden for me at least, for her she’d probably been in pain for months from the cancer =/ i’m so grateful i could spend time with her until the very end and it sounds like you’ve made some amazing memories with yours.

if they expect you to do a consultant’s work, they should pay you a consultant rate

what? lol

It’s strictly for entertainment purposes

you’re so close, if only you’d uncross your eyes it might come a little clearer into focus

If you don’t want to listen to me

what part of replying to everybody who wants a piece of me suggests that i’m participating under duress? lol

thank you, it’s an honor just to be nominated

You must think we’re all incredibly stupid

I’m always down for a sarcastic quip

you took my (hilarious) joke at face value and made a serious effort to admonish me for that literal interpretation and not the blatantly obvious message that when you have nothing to say, it’s ok to say nothing.

that you’re continuing to reply at all suggests that your sarcasm detector could really use routine maintenance. or a warranty replacement.

would a ‘/s’ make things easier for you?

i like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

i understand that you don’t appreciate my tone but i’m afraid i won’t be able to kneecap my natural charm in order to be less intimidating to you.

you’re adorable, but i think we can all agree that making an effort to help other users contribute positively to the platform is itself a positive contribution.

did you know that there’s a button on each comment which is purpose built for you to express this exact sentiment? i’ve provided a helpful diagram:

Because I wasn’t trying to get the best deal

then why are you mad that you didn’t get the best deal?

MKULTRA was the result of Allen Dulles’s hypno kink.

not only did they gut the API for actual people, they carved out exceptions for “low volume users” to keep the bots inflating activity

now they’ve literally stolen from the people who paid to support the site in the first place. absolutely shameless

you mean crosswalks don’t usually end diagonally in the middle of the street?
