100% this. I was on Reddit for nearly 10 years and this "type" of joke is super common.

That said, it was taken too far imo.

It's true. I work in a computer shop and we see literally thousands and thousands of dollars lost from people clicking on ads that look like normal buttons (things like "Download", "Next", etc). And not just the elderly either. Everyone has a a combination of inputs to get scared and comply. Folks that are otherwise extremely competent and savvy can get scammed too.

The best security you can have online is adblockers, only beaten by using trusted websites.

Edit, fair points with sites being slimy these days. I meant using legitimate versions of websites rather than copy/fake websites designed to steal credentials.

Why hate? I get early on but it's pretty good these days imo.

I would nominate radio Pro Skater as a contender

I grew up in the US northeast. The general lack of knowing how to dress warm everywhere else is pretty surprising, so I guess that's the skill I'd pick.

Any older Thinkpad that's about 5-7 years old on eBay. You can get units that were high end when they came out (normal speed now) for $200-300 all day.

I know specifically the P50's have a thunderbolt port and you can get them with an i7 for around $250.

All good, in fairness that was specifically stated earlier, I just don't think to take it literally. I appreciate the answer either way.

Be damned lol. Thanks.

Do you know the name of this comic? Found it once but have never had luck since.

I started playing Valve games with HL2, and didn't play HL1 until the Black Mesa game came out. I highly recommend. It's a fantastic game and the story made bolder choices than the new games. It really gives a sense of wonder in parts, especially on the back half of the story.

For what it's worth, there's a bot in mastodon that drops capybara pics fairly often.

Why do you think they call it a "blow" hole?
