One of this game's fetch quests, you want me to... collect fleas? Not get rid of them? And you're telling me they are the most adorable things on the face of the planet?

"...as enraptured a young noodle as ever was carried out of his five wits by love."
Is this what they call "dickensian writing"? I can't believe this was any more decipherable in David Copperfield's time.

![The "Oh? You're Approaching Me? / JoJo Approach". As described by knowyourmeme:
The original scene occurs in Chapter 143, "DIO's World (10)"[1], of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders manga, during protagonist Jotaro Kujo's confrontation with main villain Dio Brando. As Jotaro angrily approaches Dio, the latter asks, "Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?" to which Jotaro responds, "I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer." The issue was published on February 24th, 1992.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uen4esa33kb4mg5bf2jb5ml/bafkreidy2m2r72psjyzh2ifunpmx6axnqkjebq7h4jr7odzphpwjwny6jq@jpeg)

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start:
