Anon gets a pizza

They didn't think you were homeless. They correctly saw you struggle to buy a 10 dollar pizza with change from your pockets.

Most people will use a 20 or a card.

Yeah, you didn't "need" the help, but that helped you nonetheless.

Also I know this isn't OP so my breath is wasted, but people need to realize you don't need to be homeless to be in a rough spot. You can be working poor.

What happened to Anonymous? Why at this time they are not doxxing websites, leaking stuff, or shutting down porn websites?

A lot of the actual, serious ones that knew what they were doing got caught. Some went to lulsec to be jerks with no agenda and were caught by the Feds. All that was left were script kiddies that downloaded the Low Orbit Ion Cannon and used scripts they find online. Then they left or were overtaken by alt right idiots.

The original Anonymous are in their 30s and 40s by now. Everyone ages out.

Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

Finally, an OS for me! My biggest complaint since the days of Windows 95 has been the lack of being able to add new features. I didn't really care what they are, but I just like the process of subscribing to additional features until I can max them all out.

And secondly, my next biggest gripe has been how hard it is to find AI. It's never at my fingertips. Now that it'll be integrated into the OS itself, I can finally use AI for everything! And if I can buy new hardware annually to allow me to resubscribe to all the latest features, while telling AI my shipping habits, I think it'll be perfect!

I can't wait to give Bill Gates money for this! I know he'll spend it on a good cause. Maybe two young Russian good causes! He's such a cool guy and not at all a billionaire creepo, thank goodness!

Luigi Mangione’s Life Hangs on Police Misconduct Claims — So We FOIA’d the Department

Good. You know the cops are going to hide everything they can and hope he'll just get buried under assumptions and persuasions.

Remember:

  1. Luigi is innocent. The state and federal governments must prove to a jury he's guilty.
  2. disinformation is rampant.
  3. both governments NEED a scapegoat to appease the rich, who are actually afraid of a movement.
  4. cops, the NYC mayor, and the prosecutors are sloppy. They've already made mistakes, and want to hide them.

Free Luigi!

Why do some websites have a "Continue Reading" button?

It's two fold:

  1. it's good proof of "user interaction with site" to sell to advertisers

  2. they can use that to load more ads or refresh current ones after it loads more text, and you're already bought in on the story so you're likely going to keep going.

I suspect a third reason is to try adding other news stories at the end in case the current one didn't grab your attention, but that doesn't seem to be as consistent amongst sites that I've seen do this. I run ad blockers though, so I don't really see the sites the way they expect me to.

Louis Rossmann taunts Bambu Lab by hosting banned 3D Printer firmware fork, dares $1 billion company to sue him — more creators pledge support and boycotts, Snapmaker donates equipment to embattled de

Reply in thread

You might check out the Consumer Rights Wiki, also started by Rossman. It's crowd sourced, and lists anti-consumer BS like forced cloud subscriptions for a lot of companies.

Just find a printer, look up the company there, and see how legit they are. There's even a browser plugin that pops up on any website that has an entry on the wiki.

Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly ‘much happier’ after prison transfer by Trump officials

Oh good, because her happiness is always at the forefront of my mind. I was starting to forget since I know so many family members are jobless or working without pay, and don't have much to eat. Or that the story above this was my profession being at 20-year employment low. Nope, I better make sure that a child sex trafficker is having a good time. Maybe not as good as Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, but as good as a child predator can be.

WHEW! We almost lost sight of what makes America great!

Gillibrand Goes on Islamophobic Rant About Mamdani as Republicans Try to Denaturalize Him

The scary part isn't the Islamaphobia. That's just because it's easy sound bites based on his name. The real scary part is how much they're trying to attack him, because a democratic socialist mayor in New York can show how shitty Republican solutions have been on solving core problems like wealth inequality. Beyond what Bernie or AOC can do as an individual member of Congress. A mayor is an executive, and new York is big. If he's not trying to line his pockets, he can do real damage to conservatives and establishment Democrats just by showing everyone there's a better way.

*Permanently Deleted*

Wow, can you imagine trying to fix dry eyes by using eye drops, only to have to get them surgically removed to prevent your death? Going blind over eye drops? 4 deaths even...

You see those videos of workers in India doing barefoot work making pots and small metal parts. Turns out that's everywhere, including your eye drops.

I'm sure the companies responsible won't have any consequences, but I wish they would. That's so incredibly reckless and who knows what else we use every day that's manufactured this carelessly.
