And it’s so ridiculously good. The NYT even wrote an article about it.

I love it lmfao (lost my flannel at Orlando)

Seems legit as a concept, though the author is giving weird vibes.

I’m not sure what “globohomo” means but it sounds like a 4chan homophobic term. Additionally the author says they wanted a search engine giving results without “political inclinations”, which reads to me as “reality has a liberal bias and I don’t like that”.

I’ll pass on this for now.

Unimpeachable logic!

I mean realistically, the people who enjoyed it back in the day have outgrown it. So “new” content like this skibidi business, which is the same kind of humor as they used to enjoy 10+ years ago, is deeply unappealing.

Probably so they can re-check you in the future when you inevitably renew your contract.

Not that I agree with that. It should only be stored as long as it takes to run the check.

Real answer: when people finance their phones, the provider needs to check their credit to confirm if they’re actually eligible.

I think I understand it. It makes sense if his goals were to 1) release this information and 2) survive afterwards. Doing #1 was relatively easy, as he had the access to accomplish it.

But to then stay alive and (relatively) free required being beyond the reach of the US government. Being in the States is out of the question, and by extension so is being in any country with an extradition treaty with the US. I don’t know what all the options were, but ultimately he chose Russia as the place he would live.

If you assume his goal is freedom for mankind in general, it does seem hypocritical to go running to an authoritarian country for safety. But it seems pretty clear he wasn’t motivated by a vague principle, but rather wanting to blow the whistle on a specific injustice he saw.

china’s biggest crime is making close to as much money as we do.

Nah man, I’m pretty sure the Tiananmen square massacre was a bigger crime. Not to mention their genocide of the Uighur people, their oppression of Hong Kong, their attempts to steal Taiwan’s sovereignty.

ETA: big thanks to OP for so clearly and concisely showing they’re a tankie.

It’s a joke about how the head of Ubisoft referred to the game Skull And Bones as a “quadruple-A” game. The highest-budget games are often classified as “triple-A”, though people also tend to use the term as a way to indicate size or quality. By calling S&B an AAAA game he was signaling that it would be in a class of its own in terms of quality, most likely.

The game itself has been pretty universally considered “meh” at best, so this meme is making fun of the original claim.

I hope this explanation helps!

First of all, it’s bad form to link a search instead of just saying what you mean.

Second of all, based on this search, I see that the Biden administration announced they were performing some actions that would prevent medical debt from impacting credit scores. But I don’t see anything that indicates this can’t just be undone by the next president. Maybe I just don’t understand what’s being attempted well enough, but I’m sure not getting my hopes up.

(And pretty soon that won’t be a thing anymore.)

Uhhh, source?

I admire your restraint.

🥵

Hell yeah, I’m glad it’s worked for you! I capitulated because I wanted to do VR gaming and I couldn’t figure out a way to make that work.

Qubes! Holy hell, that’s a blast from my past. I didn’t contribute or anything, to be clear, but I did use it and enjoy it while I did. It’s a really interesting way to handle security.

OP’s parents, presumably.

Nice.

Glad I could help XD I was legitimately baffled…

Just saw that you shared, thank you. OP provided the link to save an archive of the meme, somehow.
