The school district where I grew up had a dropout rate of 50% by Junior year of highschool. Junior year was the earliest they allowed highschool students to drop out.

It’s expensive for what it is, and you’re demonstrating your ignorance of that which makes you look rich and ignorant.

Just pining for the Fjords

Security still plays. If I'm offering a blog for instance or some FOSS software that isn't in Russian or about Russia and I'm getting frequent bad traffic from Russia, I'm probably going to geoblock Russia.

Security is very often the reason (other than legality or copyright) that web services employ geoblocking. While people can easily circumvent this via VPN or any number of other methods, this takes slightly more effort which helps improve the overall signal to noise ratio for web-traffic considerably. 

It's not about trying to stop those people from accessing that service per se, it's just a fact that there are a number of countries who don't have laws or don't enforce laws regarding tampering with foreign systems. While this may be the action of just a few people in any given country, the traffic can be from many thousands of different IP addresses which may only have a country of origin in common.

Attacks on FOSS software as a means of gaining illicit access to organizations using that product as part of their infrastructure are more and more common (search: supply chain attacks). People who are earnestly trying to use a website that they are being geoblocked from are sadly caught in the crossfire of a fight they have no part in, and probably don'tknow is happening. However, the people doing the geo blocking are generally not doing so out of malice, but out of necessity.

A friend of mine was a security administrator for a small webhosting company for a while and he would often block certain countries based on the fact that his company didn’t do any business in those countries, and simultaneously those countries were prominent sources of malicious traffic. Not to say that the only traffic from those places is malicious, but if you don’t plan on offering any services in those areas it definitely makes sense to geoblock them from a security standpoint.

My mom taught me to cook from a pretty young age. Not that it’s exactly cooking, but the first thing she taught me to make myself was just a bologna and cheese sandwich, which obviously left an impression on me lol.

I saw a ton of people getting pulled over on the highway (because for some reason holidays where I live seem to require more speed traps) and I went “oh yeah that’s today”. Which was basically all the thought I gave it lol.

Also for the love of god it’s Valentine’s Day

This is the least I might use when grilling a cheese

The potato is an exploration of pain and rage, it’s really quite playful and comedic too

Kielbasa and sauerkraut! You can generally get both for less than $10 all in, and eat 2-3 times. Put the Kielbasa in a lidded roasting pan with sauerkraut and optionally add about half a bottle of beer for flavor (basically any beer works, my mom always used bud light just because it was around, so the standard does not have to be high) bake at 350° for around 1 - 1.5hrs to be fast, or at 270° for 3-4+ hours for the better slow-cooked version (It’s almost impossible to burn this and cooking for longer generally only makes it better in my experience, if the sausage bursts it’s definitely done, but kielbasa is typically fully cooked from the store so not too many worries about food-borne illness). Brands of sauerkraut also vary wildly in flavor so try a few. My personal favorite is the jarred Silverfloss brand, and a close second is Libby’s.

They say that it’s a bid to contaminate AI data collection, but it really just reads like more of a cry for attention

For total hours it’s either Garrysmod at around 2100 hours or Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion (not sure of the hours since it was before tracking hours was really a thing, but I know it’sa LOT), but as far as how long ago I started playing it’d be Diablo 2 since 2000

I got you fam

Mostly older stuff, but these should all be a pretty good starting point for their respective artists, hope you find something you like!

Try turning off hardware acceleration in your browser. Not sure if it works the same way, but this makes things like netflix able to be screen shared when they pull the same black screen shit

When I was a kid I loved Kirby and the crystal shards on the n64. I’m pretty sure that Kirby is mainly for younger kids, I think I first played it at 5 or 6, but tbh I’ll still play it on an emulator from time to time

My family were all still alive, and Garry’s Mod was basically the greatest thing ever to me at the time.

I left reddit when they shut down the 3rd party readers. I don’t like ads, and I wasn’t willing to compromise and use their shitty app, so I came here and haven’t looked back since!

Only when the previous one is completely out of commission. My last phone was a Samsung S20 I got in 2020 and it finally died when it took it’s last fall on to some concrete, and I replaced it a few months ago with an S24

Lol I have been too! I’ve barely sandwiched at all the last little while

Yes, generally either as you said for “depressing” something, or when referring to a valley or a void in something as a “depression”.
