My dentist called me to book an appointment and less than 5 seconds later, my wife called. She’s obviously cheating on me with the dentist.

I mean unless you lack hands, it’s easily preventable

Unless they become part of the military industrial complex

Maybe they mean that you look like you have cool, youthful interests and values.

Apparently it’s not too late

Well, the U.S. definitely weighs down the average (pun intended), but it’s only 4% of the world’s population.

Am I the only one who never felt that Deanna Troi was particularly attractive? I mean, she’s okay (enough that it doesn’t detract from other traits), but not above average. Yet she’s often presented as if she’s supposed to be eye candy for the show.

I don’t understand how this is supposed to be some kind of gotcha or mind blowing realization. Isn’t it obvious to everyone older than 3yo in the entire world?

Maybe it should just say “this means your intelligence is below average”. I genuinely think someone with <80 IQ would have a very low chance of understanding the text as presented in the screenshot.

Stupid people are people with human rights too, and they should be considered with empathy when building a society. That should be particularly obvious to a site that performs IQ tests. For every person with an IQ above 100, there’s a person below.

Wouldn’t we be better off alone? Nobody at home to give us shit. Just do whatever you feel like.

Raising landlords causes harm to the human tenants

Only humans were harmed

I suspect it was part of some stupid copy protection scheme.

Because nothing has changed since then, except for the worse.

Adobe has no scruples.

I used to work for a full-disk encryption vendor in the 2000s, and one customer had an issue where the machine would BSOD sometimes if both our product and Adobe Acrobat were installed. It seemed a mystery or just a red herring - what on Earth did Acrobat do that could trigger a kernel-mode crash?

Turned out that every hour or so, Acrobat would be reading and writing back the master boot record (containing the OS bootstrap code and partition table) on the primary hard drive. The bug was ours (to unlock the hard drive keys at boot we had to put different data there and redirect I/O after Windows started, and this redirection code would crash once in a blue moon), but Adobe has no business mucking about with this extremely sensitive data.

I read this from the start with the mind that it’s probably an April fool’s joke, but not once did I see any indication to exaggerate or build up to a humorous absurdness. It’s just a long article that could be true but isn’t. Stupid and a waste of time.

Maybe the annoyance was that it wasn’t annoying enough

The universe is a chain of cause and effect, and the only way to interpret “a reason” for something without introducing artificial human constructs of morality, is “what caused it?”. The process of evolution caused this.

I don’t think we were using the same dating apps

So… okay if it’s my sister, then?
