As of now the label is "Adult Content" which feels even less arguable

Good news! For those of us who work from home, second spaces don't exist either

That's true. For all I know, we have 1000 times that number not succeeding.

Another possibility here is that they would be posting spam but they can't verify their email address.
I'm not even fully certain this is automated; account creation requires answering a pretty domain-specific question selected at random from a list.

Many of them also have names that feel spam-adjacent, like "Buy-a-oven3625", "Mobility-scooter-near-me1943", and "Oven-on-sales4102". No idea what to make of that.

Oh, that would make sense! Don't think that would affect us, thankfully. Feels like an incredibly unreliable way to brute force something; dozens of accounts aren't really a lot when you're guessing words like "Vacuum".

I'm never safe from tendinitis as long as there are games that make me click/press a button repeatedly instead of being able to hold it down (or more insidiously: I can hold it down, yet somehow this causes the action to repeat at far less frequency, so I have to click repeatedly anyway)

you could make basically any pose or fighting sprite/animation possible using nothing but actual clips of him from the comics. It'd be perfect.

Also the very design of our electoral system, which didn't come from nowhere. "Winning is important" is obviously true, but so is recognizing when the deck may be stacked against us, and that decks are not naturally occurring objects with a singular obvious design; people made them this way

Okay, but it's important to admit that things influence elections outside voters' direct control: How campaign finance is regulated, organized misinformation, umpteen forms of voter suppression/disenfranchisement, and so on. "We voted for this" is roughly as reductive we "we didn't vote for this".

from Koji Aihara & Kentaro Takekuma's "Even a Monkey can Draw Manga" (1989)

I saw a video a couple of days ago where a young gen z or older alpha was talking about the 2000s and the way they just said no one objected to or saw what Bush/Cheney were doing at the time, and it was mind blowing. It just becomes part of the narrative somehow, that there was no opposition.

they look like the digitized live action footage actors from a knockoff Mortal Kombat game for the SNES

Not that I'm moving to Linux myself any time soon, probably. I have my own issues with it, and I'll probably always have to support Windows on some level or another; I'd rather have to know and deal with the insane quirks of one OS instead of two.

I don't know about this, because most of what I and some others I know hate about modern Windows is the trajectory toward being a platform for selling us services, bloated with more and more garbage we can't do anything about, and... well, ads.

Pretty sure it's just the once

You are an absolute fucking ghoul if you do not realize the disparity in negotiating power between tenant and landlord. I need a house to live. My landlord won't be out on the street if their passive income is partially delayed from me moving out. And they can evict us for literally nothing.
