Dumbest AND most genius: Fake captchas that get the user to press windows+R, then control+C, then enter.

Dumbest because if you paid attention to what’s being pasted, it’s usually a call to power shell with an arbitrary script, and it’s being pasted into your OS’s run box which is basically like a console.

But also genius because there are tons of people that fall for it, and it’s a social engineering masterpiece.

This really highlights two systemic issues: tons of people don’t know what they’re doing with computers and don’t know basic security concepts like don’t run an arbitrary script from an untrusted website, and we should probably do something about that. Which brings me to the second point that Windows is pretty ass for making it this easy. Why can you run an encoded power shell script from your run box, and why would you make bypassing the execution policy as easy as a flag in the command you’re invoking? I can’t imagine those have a lot of legitimate uses and aren’t just being abused by criminals.

So it will fit right into Meta’s work culture then!

Absolutely

Learning is woke. True patriots stick to their misconceptions for life.

Arguably that’s because they were basically conquered and made a vassal of the country that dropped bombs on them.

The cool thing about this is you can just arbitrarily pick which part of the cycle you consider the “start” of the conflict in case you want to selectively accuse one side of being the aggressor.

Reading it back I can see how I might have come off as arguing with the OP. I had just intended to add some context in general around why “straight pride” isn’t a generally accepted thing but gay pride is, because whenever this comes up you usually get at least one person asking "what, so we’re supposed to be ashamed of being straight now? That’s just discrimination in reverse!”

“Straight pride” isn’t a thing. It’s purely a reactionary response to gay pride.

The point of gay pride is for gay people to show that they’re not afraid to be who they are in the face of systematic discrimination. It is specifically countering the culture of gay shame that had been the norm in the past. Straight people are already the overwhelming majority and have never been oppressed for their sexual orientation. There’s was never any shame associated with it so it makes no sense to proclaim that you’re “proud” to be straight.

It’s like someone who finished a marathon expressing their pride for their accomplishment, and some loser who has to make everything about themselves says “well I sat on my ass all day and I deserve to be proud of that too!”

The issue is not that it’s not okay to be proud of being straight, you’re welcome to feel pride all you want. The issue is when you but into someone else’s moment and make it about yourself.

This is so poorly written I have no idea if it’s sarcasm or not.

They have the same mentality as the people dunking witches in the middle ages. “It’s fine to kill them because they’ll go to heaven if they’re not a witch Jewish.”

Doesn’t Israel claim that Iran imprisons Jews? They can’t even pretend to keep their propaganda consistent, or worse, they actually believe it and wrote any hypothetical imprisoned Jews off as necessary sacrifices.

Nihilism. I’ve fully accepted that humans are definitely going extinct and I’m just along for the ride. It’s oddly comforting to realize nothing you do matters in the long run because your entire species and society has no future. I’ll focus on being a nice person to the few other humans that know me instead of trying to change the entire world, because realistically I can’t change the world. If I can make some positive impacts to a few other individuals before we all die, I’ll take that as a win.

Is that a healthy mindset? No. But I’m not a healthy person to begin with so I don’t care.

Don’t salt your food before you eat it.

Depends on the species. Some birds (usually birds of prey) are extremely territorial especially to members of their own species which are obviously their biggest competitors.
