I've never used Threads, this deceptive ad suggests otherwise

I have never (and will never) use Threads. This ad on Facebook shows a screenshot clearly depicting someone having commented on a photo of mine that doesn’t exist. Deceptive, garbage marketing practices from a deceptive garbage tech company. It’s extremely easy to see a tech-illiterate person creating a Threads account just to see what photo of them is on there and who is commenting on it.

And before anyone mentions it, yes I use Facebook. Very minimally. My entire family lives thousands of miles away and Facebook is all I have to feel connected with them.

To win the show Alone, could someone smuggle a GPS locator inside of their anus?

A friend on the outside could then use the geolocation data from the analocator and drone deliver supplies at night. The contestants turn the camera off at night and the secret delivery wouldn’t have to be anything overt that would be easily noticeable post-delivery.

Contestants are allowed to bring ten items to the location with them. Part of the show is deciding which items to bring and which items to go without - skipping a fire starter or a water bottle, for example. But this way they could drone deliver a few of those small items they skipped out on.

I’m talking about this show, for anyone unfamiliar: Alone - Wikipedia

Started Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 Today

This one kind of flew under the radar for me back when it came out but with all the hype surrounding the sequel, it seemed like a great time to play the first game ($30 USD).

Definitely have never played an RPG quite like it. It’s extremely difficult for me so far but not in a rage-inducing way, more like I keep dying because I’m playing it like Skyrim. It feels like a slow burn type of game, where the more time I invest in my character, the stronger he’ll become and the more enjoyable the game will be.

Anyone else playing the first game right around now?
