I have friends and a family who care about me, and I've been listening to one of my new favorite podcasts, "You're Wrong About".

That's about all that's getting me through life right now.

I've been using a SimpleLogin alias on Patreon for a while and have never been flagged, so there's that.

To put it in a way that's slightly less genteel than the other posters, let me tell you my motto that I live by as someone with multiple mental illnesses:

Mental illness is no excuse for being an asshole.

It says in the article.

Law enforcement use CSS to pinpoint the location of phones often with greater accuracy than other techniques such as cell site location information (CSLI) and without needing to involve the phone company at all. CSS can also log International Mobile Subscriber Identifiers (IMSI numbers) unique to each SIM card, or hardware serial numbers (IMEIs) of all of the mobile devices within a given area. Some CSS may have advanced features allowing law enforcement to intercept communications in some circumstances.

Looks like they aren't using "IMSI catcher" because it only covers one of the uses of those devices.

Honestly, I'd agree that sitcoms on the whole tend to age poorly, but there are some that have stood the test of time. Like another commenter said, Golden Girls still slaps, but the one that I think has shockingly aged the best is The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Despite being over 50 years old, I was laughing so hard at basically every episode, and it only gets better as it goes on.

It's relatively progressive politics for its time have also ensured that it stays relevant, like the episode where Phyllis finds out her brother is gay and she's just relieved that he's not dating Rhoda. That aired in like... 1972 or 1973. That kind of casual acceptance could almost be considered radical for the time, and the women's rights issues it occasionally brings up are still relevant.

But I think the biggest reason it's aged so well is that it's so character focused. It never gets overtly political like Maude, pop culture references are relatively uncommon, and the character writing is so strong to the point that even the supporting characters get good development.

Don't forget Richard Harris, Kenneth Branagh, Jason Isaacs, Alan Rickman, and Gary Fucking Oldman.

The Harry Potter movies were stacked.

Just in case anyone didn't feel like reading the article, here's the last (and imo most important) paragraph:

However, without changing the DMCA, we can't expect to see real, lasting change in this space. Doctorow said as much to me: "What we really need to do is get rid of DMCA 1201, that law that makes it a crime to format shift your media...it's the same law that stops farmers from fixing their tractors, blocks independent mechanics from fixing your car, stops rivals from setting up alternative app stores for phones and games consoles...this law is a menace!"

Not real, but certainly creative.

Yeah, my friends and I always used Forgotten Realms lore as a base in homebrew settings and then just do whatever on top of it, like that one time we had chocobos in a campaign LOL

can't imagine you would have many problems on opensuse tumbleweed

What's your favorite cut of human meat, and who are you looking to murder and eat next?

So... straight hair gets greasier the longer it goes without being washed, right? There lots of reasons for that, a few being brushing, combing, running your fingers through it, or just the oil running down it. Well, the curlier your hair is, the harder those things are to do. In fact, oil often won't run down the strands at all on very curly hair, so you'll be left with an oily scalp and increasingly dry hair. Shampoo is inherently oil stripping, and if you put it on curly hair that's already lacks oil, you'll just make it even more frizzy and awful. Hence, a lot of people with curly hair forego shampoo.

shhhhhh don't give them more ideas

I use Firefox and I literally am a woke vegan.

Dammit, I lost the game.

I'm like 80% sure this person is a troll.

I've actually seen a bunch of people recommend and cite this blog; the person running it knows their shit.

He also shit his pants on the golf course and there's photos of it.

Unfortunately untrue.
