13) This isn't news to me, but the manosphere complaint that "you can't compliment anyone anymore!" is bullshit.
I compliment people constantly, all day, and get warm smiles and heartfelt thanks and watch people walk away in a better mood. The secret is not being a gross creep about it.

Discord confirms that government IDs used for age-verification were compromised in a hack with a vendor.
Who could have predicted?
Oh, right.

When a BBC reporter can do this, without privileged access to communications data, I find it hard to accept law enforcement's constant claim that they are "going dark" because of encrypted messaging. Encryption is not the main obstacle to effective law enforcement.

“We have to be inclusive of racists otherwise they may not vote for us” is certainly an interesting take.
Crying racism only hurts Labour

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

regrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society

I'm pretty happy with my adulting skills today. I went to the pharmacy some time ago to buy a bunch of cold medicine and supplies in case I ever get cold and don't feel like going out.
Well, today I got a really bad cold and I don't have to go to the pharmacy. Win!
