Yeah, but then both OP and The Verge wouldn’t have such a juicy headline for sick internet points and clicks.

It’s more accurate to say “~15,000 Roku users were hacked due to reused passwords”, and reusing passwords is one of the worst things you can do security-wise because if your password got leaked on one website (doesn’t even need to be the full password, just the hash would work), you are now entirely compromised everywhere you reuse that password.

Another interesting way to read that headline is “Jeff Bezos is very worried that American Women don’t want to marry Trump supporters.”

Because, y’know, he owns The Washington Post.

EDIT: tfw Jeff Bezos downdoots you twice

But LinkedIn bros and corporate people are gonna gobble it up anyways because it has the right buzzwords (including “AI”) and they can squeeze more (low quality) work from devs to brag about how many things they (the corporate owners) are doing.

I don’t want her tainting my TNG rewatch.

That’s when you learn to separate the art from the artist. Gunian has some rather wise words to say; Whoopi says some banal shit at times.

They’re offering $1 per day? That’s $1 for every 24 hours you go back, which is around $0.04 per hour, which can be broken down even further to around $0.0007 per minute.

I’d give them 1 penny to go back 15 minutes in time, find a penny on the ground, then find them again to go back the same 15 minutes in time over and over until I can figure out how to kidnap them in 15 minutes.

After I successfully kidnap them, I will go on a bank heist and keep the time person near me so I can keep trying to rob a bank until I do so successfully. Then because they’re an accessory to the crime, I can blackmail them to let me rewind time for free at any time I wish so I can become a crime lord, otherwise I’ll give them to the police and let them know he can time-travel.

EDIT: Just saw OP’s one-time offer clause, so I am assuming this means the time person retains their memory.

I won’t immediately take them up on their offer - instead, I would take them out on a date or five first. Get to know them a bit better; where they lived growing up, how they grew up, how old they are - that kind of stuff.

Then I would figure out how much money I can use to go back in time to my youngest point of life that also meets their youngest point in my same lifetime, and I’ll track them down from all the details they gave me while they were pegging me. I’ll become best friends with them, and convince them that we could be using their powers to become the dopest crime lords in history.

It was the same in the 2016 Elections too. Most left-leaning people I talked to did not want Hillary in office, but they wanted Trump not in office more than Hillary - so a vote for Hillary it was.

Honestly, both parties fucking suck, and it sucks even more that our options are literally “right-leaning centrists” and “fascism”.

Forget small cars, we should be embracing non-motorized ways of transit. Make things human-sized again and allow us to walk and/or bike to destinations rather than having to have a motorized vehicle to get around.

Public transit is obviously a good thing to have, but I think it’s also important to have alternate forms of transit as well.

I feel like there’s some cosmic irony about a gay dating app not supporting their workers that I quite can’t put my finger on

Capitalists: “This system is great - money can theoretically flow indefinitely as more people spend money!”
