A perpetual license doesn't mean the company supports it forever; you know that, right? I have a copy of Quickbooks 2015 that I got the license key for from a closing company for about $25. I will never have to pay another dime for it, it's a perpetual license and will run indefinitely. I just don't get any updates at all, and I can't run anything that requires updates or subscriptions like payroll or advanced features. But that's absolutely fine for my purposes and works the same for many, many people. This is how things should be - if I'm fine with using an outdated version, there is zero reason I need a subscription license.

Wow, I didn't realize my hopes could be so quickly dashed with just two words.

Thanks, saved me the effort 😂

Edit, although I do want to add: he spent TWO YEARS grooming this little girl online. Started when she was 10. Then, after 2 years of online pedo fuckery, fucking flew himself to the UK to rape the poor girl. This was not "dumb 19 year old does dumb 19 year old things", as gross as that would be on its own. This was TWO FUCKING YEARS OF PREMEDITATION PRIOR TO RAPING HER.

Sentenced to 4 years, only actually served about 1 if I recall correctly. Disgusting.

So they'll boot a woman for smoking, and they'll boot a woman for animal abuse, but they won't boot a man for being an irredeemable groomer pedophile?

Cool, cool. Good to know.

I mean, how about my boring example from work the other day? I wanted to double check whether priority mail had guaranteed delivery timeframes before telling a customer that they did not and if she needed something by a specific day she should use UPS. When I searched "is priority mail delivery date guaranteed", the first real answer, from USPS's website, was a resounding no, just like I thought. Guess what Google's AI told me? "Priority mail is a guaranteed service, so you can choose it knowing that your package will be delivered on the projected date."

It's fucking stupid. It's wrong. It should not be at the top of search results.

Fun fact, you can feel it when you're uncut too. At least, my spouse has never not been able to warn me over 14 years together, so, that doesn't seem like a good reason to mutilate kids' dicks.

I mean, there's support and then there's enabling. Not all things that ND people do are good, either for them or those around them. We as a community don't act like it's ok for Autistic people to go around grabbing women's tits "cause they don't understand social conventions" (though I've absolutely come across this argument before, which infuriated me), why would we act like it's ok for NPD people to manipulate and emotionally abuse those around them "cause it's just the way they are"? The goal is to support them in a way that limits harm: both the harm that comes to them from outside, and the harm they can do to others.

This is cursed

how to delete someone else's lemmy post

It's a (very fluffy) trap

Oh, I must have hallucinated all those times it happened to me, then! Thank fuck you were here to set me straight, my little woman brain must have just gotten all hysterical for no reason.

Artist has been making banks nervous for at least 12 years now. Probably longer tbh but I can't be arsed to find an older source

They could be, but they aren't. The woman literally had her labia fused together from the burn and just wanted them to pay for her fucking surgery.
