  • Lol you'd be surprised. Sometimes it doesn't even come from a bad place.

    My ex (ages ago) wanted to understand and support my culture better, so she went out and watched Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift.

    Likkeeeee I appreciate the effort but bruuuhh I'm Filipino. Wtf.

    Some people just grow up thinking "Asian is Asian".

    What are your red flags for job interviews?
  • Some things that worry me are "coding superstar" "your in a small team so must be able to do multiple roles" usually means you have to work put everything on your own without support, just i want moreeee im super wary if i hear "we're like a family" normally means i want you to do things most companies cpuldnt ask for, like working extra hoirs without pay.

    Also i usually ask "how do you find working here" if they seem excited or happy i take it as a good sign, if they look worried, angry or theyre like "it takes time getting used to" im a bit wary.

    What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?
  • Theres a few answrs to this

    1. It uses your movements before this to determine whether it feels like your a bot or not
    2. It makes you wait, the biggest issue with bots is they may try to log in say 50 different passwords for example, so if it takes 5 seconds to do each one it makes boting multiple acounts not worth it.
    3. Google uses catchphas with images to choose. They use this to train their own AI or data to sell

    Disney gives up on trying to use Disney Plus excuse to settle a wrongful death lawsuit
  • Yeah, imo they got worried that people would start asking government agencies to make legislation about things like this, so theyd rather backtrack now so they can keep it as part of their TOS.

    I started to get these daily at random hours, even when I'm sleeping. Someone's trying to hack me?
  • I would definitely changw your password, also see if you can check the logs of login as it will sometimes show and you can see if the country aligns.

    For what its worth, if you think youre not being hacked. It sometimes ive seen it come up when people use a vpn and are connected by some sort of app. And it flags a 2fa to reconect. Its unlikely but i have seen it.

    unlocking a DRM iTunes audio file from before they were unlocked
  • For what its worth to OP you might want to look at what laws apply in your area. Many countries may indeed be okay with you downloading a song you already own (as per transiet punk) BUT be against you breaking copyright protection (decrypting it).

    What are some things(or ways) that you use to save time or get things done efficiently? Especially things that would be useful for many and are currently less popular.
  • Toothbrushing when taking a showwr, and using two bars of soap yo wash myself akimbo style.

    Bluetooth themometer for food so i can jusy stick it in and wait till its right and done, no more constantly checking.

    Robot vaccum has saved me a lot of time vaccuming.

    Airfryer has significanrly cut down my time cooking too.

  • What makes a trainer "official"? Compared to some guy on the street?

    My trainer is teaching me balintawak, but really its a cross of a lot of things, he really loves learning martial arts and i can see hes spent years and years and years on it. His holidays is literally going to countries to learn and try their martial arts really.

    But unlike other classes he teaches me in the park (its 1:1 lessons as he stopped classes during covid).

    But it got me thinking, what makes a trainer "a professional". Both personally and legally.

    I know some areas like boxing or karate they likely have some sort of foundation/club/organisation maybe you can register too?

    I guess this is coming up because im learning weapons training now, and we can carry training weapons if there is good rrason too (like for training) but would a police officer see a guy in a park and agree hes a trainer. And to add to that, should i believe him?

    I cant deny though, my stickfighting, swordfiighting, fist fighting and grapple work has extraordinarily increased. So i cant deny there is skill there and i am learning.

    So i guess what makes someone a professional martial artist teacher? How do you tell compared to someone whose just sat on youtube too much. And should i be worried?

    Testing out I'm guessing its just one for all? Just want to check incase im missing something.

    I like to have one for my nsfw account and one for my normal so i only use the right one when im in the right headspace.

    Is it only me?

    If you think flying through space is thrilling, imagine how thrilling it is to forget to save for the past half an hour and see that load symbol slowly start to freeze because you walked into a shop.... ...

    Adding a pic of the merch I got today at least.

    Don't know if it's super useful but was told companions can use weapons you give them if they have at least one ammo piece in their inventory. So I used this to give them one of each out of like a thousand ammo I have.
