I was recently in college for IT, and my professors said a couple of times that it’s best practice just to assume that all of your info has already been stolen

The university I went to told us not to bother with unpaid internships, because it’s just a sign the company doesn’t care about you. Paid internships pretty much always still give college credit.

Netflix’s content has gotten so much worse too. I don’t think there are many people left that have a subscription for more than one or two shows. And this seems to be a trend across all the different apps. Makes me glad I set up automatic torrenting for everything I’m interested in, and all it costs me is $5/month for Proton VPN

As with most bleeding edge technology, all the danger comes from capitalism, and not the technology itself.

I hate crowd work. Getting called on while on a night out is my worst nightmare

“Double indemnity!”

Do you see people with the Unsalted decals as well? There are a ton of those here in Michigan, with the same font, and I’ve seen them in surrounding states as well. Maybe the areas on the border should get Brackish stickers lol

hunger is “fundamental to the working of the world’s economy”

I mean, he’s probably right, but that means we should work to change the system, not throw more orphans into the crushing machine

Lansing MI has one

In recent years, rightsholders have made several attempts to shut the site down. Court orders have led to LibGen being blocked in several countries, but completely eliminating the threat has been extremely difficult. This is partly because the identities of those running it remains unknown.

In 2017, Elsevier won a court case against LibGen and Sci-Hub in a New York federal court, which awarded the publisher $15 million in damages. However, both shadow libraries remained online and continue to operate to this day.

The lawsuit was stalled for months because LibGen’s anonymous operators didn’t respond. With no other viable options left, the publishers filed a motion for a default judgment in their favor.

Voyager season 4 episode 17, Retrospect. Not a favorite.

If they can, I’m going to buy a whole bunch of vibrators that charge via USB

Don’t worry, I’m sure she’s just remembering incorrectly again

If anyone deserves the right to bare arms, it’s femboys. Not everyone looks good in dresses with sleeves!

So straight he circled right back around

It would be pretty funny if airplane manufacturers trademarked their con-trails, so each type of plain left a different trail behind
