Very meta.

Consenting adults should be sufficient.

There is no scale of weirdness, and the idea alone is toxic. If you contribute in a positive way, people accept you, because you have made yourself useful. Beyond providing value, and not destroying it, 'weirdness' only incurs the occasional wrath of red tape.

Be weird, or don't. There is no fucking quota.

Would anyone like to explaon why they disagree here? I see this being greyed out without any rebuttal. This seems SOP for facebook lately.

Exactly. These people are petting the dog after it attacks their kid, oblivious to the training they are offering and reinforcing. We as a collective are just teaching big tech how to more effectively enslave us for profit.

That seems to be the trend. 'If you're not a facist, you're a nazi' looks to be the hip discourse lately. I have never been more happy, or genuinely nervous to be unaffiliated with any political movement burdened by other members.

Still though, remember the left, the right, the facists, the nazis, the whigs, and even stalin all think they were doing the right thing, and saving humanity by making hard choices at the expense of others. Power, no matter how it is held, can and will bulldoze the powerless, no matter who they are.

Most is now reproduced for restoration. Even a well perserved cabinet has a bit of fading and wilting of the marquees and screen frame by now, not to mention the sides and control surfaces.

Because it hasent happened? The roadrunner gag comes up every few years only to be debunked (by snopes and others). Computer vision is fooled by many things that are still very obvious to the human observer.

Pretty decent. I enable for one of 10 i'd say, and leave a whole lot more sites that require it needlessly without shedding any tears.

Many places will increase prices with low battery as a despiration tactic. Its shady af and should be illegal imho.

Most crawlers/bots, particularly the ones you want to be able to identify, spoof their user agent, making this mostly moot.

Most people I knew burned a copy of the cd, and proceeded to wear it out in their cd player. Back then they just coded half the cd as audio and the CD was basically the new NIN ep. Those were the magic and fusturating days of bonus content on CDs. I wonder how such content will be saved in the future? Playing "hidden track.mp3" really isnt the same as finding track 99 and hearing a song after the 10min of silence buffer to fool you.

I own a few of them, as do I cars. I have so far managed not to murder anyone with either. Whats your point? We also have a lot of crime and an individualist attitude, and some large unintergrated culture bubbles which likely contribute more.

Murder is in the intent, not the tool.

Does enforcement count as infrastructure? As discussed, laws/signs without enforcement do little. Is seeing police that rare that everyone would risk it? Accountibility is foremost before progress.

Tolerating packs of stray fogs is the actions (or perhaps inaction) of men, only manifest as dogs.
