Would this work as a workaround for creating a Stripe account, if I'm living in a country not supported by Atlas?

God what a well written article! I don't have much to say on the subject, but this was pure joy to read, it's crazy good. Clear, engaging, to the point, making a difficult subject accessible without dumbing it down, no fluff or unnecessary side stories, just awesomeness.

Awesome comment! One thing I have problem with is that you keep saying "ripping off" or "steal". There really shouldn't be any shame in taking 2 existing good ideas and using them to make something better, something widely successful.

TF2 or PUBG could've done this but didn't, fortnite did, and nailed it, and now we all get to benefit.

Except that in modern culture people tend to call anything they disagree with "abuse", like using a wrong pronoun or not supporting feminism enough.

I want to live in a world where anyone is free to say any stupid idea they want, and anyone else is free to correct them or ignore them or do whatever they like.

Actual harm/abuse/harassment should be illegal of course, like the kind where a person is physically doing stuff to another person against their will.

But if blocking a person on twitter is all it takes to avoid "harassment", maybe that's the best way to deal with that.

Maybe it's a new body for Peter Thiel made out of some poor person.

Maybe it's immortality for all of us, ability for a dying person to hop into a young, healthy, good looking clone body.

Do you really need a source telling you that you can learn stuff from books?

How do people end up finding friends online? I spend 90% of my time online, I post on forums, but I didn't end up making even one lasting online relationship. It seems like a fun thing to do though, how does that usually happen?

I have definitely quit blender because of being unable to bear the horrible alien ass-backwards UI, same with GIMP. I love learning new things, but when EVERYTHING in software works the opposite way from what you have expected, it's too much.

ZBrush UI is also alien and counterintuitive, but after you learn it it begins making sense and feeling convenient, not so in blender, here I have to fight it for no reason.

Can you share why it makes for a bad experience?

Personally I've enjoyed the feature.

I find it annoying on youtube though, for some reason.

Edit: Oh, wait, are you talking about autoplaying preview trailers or autoplaying the next episode? I like the next episode feature, autoplaying trailers are annoying.

Clickbait + low quality content is what fatigues users.

Personally I don't mind clickbait if after doing whatever it takes to grab my attention, the creator delivers on an actually solid high quality educational/entertaining content.
