A deskside air conditioner

Seems like a troll account.

I sincerely believe in the better side of you, OP. Whatever you do with that is up to you.

I think someone speculated that it aligned with a religious pilgrimage trip that had a lot of similarities.

Same! Except it was a CD in a paper envelope, as a birthday gift to my brother. We already played it a ton but lost the original CD, and this was before steam was a big thing.

Re-bought it on GOG and Steam a few times for myself and as gifts, too.

De-Bea-an could be the next Hannah Montana Linux

Even better 😎

No not you! Original OP, as in whoever wrote the title in your image. Sorry for the confusion /gen

The title reads like OOP is also a bot/sockpuppet.

It doesn’t quite flow like proper low-literacy American English, but someone who diligently studied insta posts from that demographic.

I was expecting this to be a violet08 post lmao

This was years ago, and got scrapped in 2024 after massive backlash.

Yay Europe! Genuinely happy for you folks.

Maybe someday we’ll have freedom and privacy in the US :’)

I mean, that’s also pretty awesome that there’s decent regulations as part of it(at least nominally, I don’t live there so can’t say for certain), but it seems to be primarily a banking/lending thing similar to in the US which is what a lot of jingoistic fearmongering types either completely miss or purposely ignore.

It’s decidedly not a surveillance thing, which is the funny part.

Per Wikipedia:

The program first emerged in the early 2000s, inspired by the credit scoring systems in other countries.

It’s almost the same thing but a different name, and is nationalized to a state system instead of like 3 or 4 companies lmao

Right wingers fear the word “social” for some reason ig

There were a lot of weird photos that looked like they were taken from a webcam/stream, in private settings, with extremely specific work address/personal info to tie her in person. There was also no continued communication like there usually is from scammers. Plus the bots spammed from countless instances with the same messages and different pics, like it was dedicated to making sure people would know her irl identity. Not 100% positive, but for a lot of people it felt “off” from the usual scam and spam campaigns. There was a dedicated community of folks who were concerned about this, as well.

Other spammers eventually rode the coattails and tried crypto-scheming with similar strategies but those were more “traditionally” scammy.

Some trees are in favor of the axe party, thinking they’ll one day become the blade. ¯\(ツ)/¯

I misread that as “cis guy” at first and was deeply concerned

Their cheese curds are god tier for fast food. Their ice cream mixers are also very good.

This is precisely why oligarchs are trying to clamp down on these tools.

It’s not for “the children.” It’s for their protection, or so they think.

The irresistible human urge to build (or dig) things together.

We’re tall, bipedal ants and I love us for that.

Bruh what

Yeah no I’m gonna step in and fully agree with you on the statement of “psychopaths shouldn’t be allowed to enact destruction on civilians.”

IDF, USA (and all its three letter agencies), whatever authoritarian fuckbags murdered Iranian protestors, etc.

It’s all bad. If these genocidal people who choose to reject their humanity have an axe to grind, they should be forced to do so amongst themselves.

Hiding behind bombs and armies is bullshit. Make the “leaders” go face to face, with little more than a rusty machete and keep the rest of the world’s people out of it.
