During the single mandatory postgraduate session on ethics, a few of us decided to play a bot trivia game over Telegram.

We all already knew it’s bad to use our education to kill people or do fraud or plagiarise shit. Like, man, I never did that. I’m not gonna fucking do that.

Anyways, someone sent the answer, “Led Zeppelin”, 1ms before me.

I slammed my fist on the desk. The entire lecture hall looked at me. That was my only moment of gamer rage where I hit something. Normally I just aggressively grunt or clench my teeth.

edit: I dropped out anyways, so it didn’t matter if you don’t think about it too much

Yep. They’ve been around for years.

Normally you would just give them your card info like any other online pay site like PayPal etc. but I don’t know why they suddenly decided to give everyone at the company a deluxe lobotomy

I saw this shit yesterday when I was trying to buy a weed cart online (still not sure if it’s legal or not. I still hear stories of those moron cops arresting people for “drug possession” i.e. didn’t pay a bribe)

Noped out and just gave the clearnet grey market drug website virtual card info that’s gonna expire in a few hours anyway

I’m not scared of nuclear power

but hearing it in the same sentence as ‘Microsoft AI’ sent a shiver down my spine

They do a similar thing with medication here in South Africa. Or, at least they used to. I haven’t seen many video ads in a very long time.

They can advertise Schedule 0 meds (aisle stuff) with pictures and a generic ad text, coincidentally also describing the type of medication they cannot advertise. The medications marked [S0] normally contain herbal or relatively safe ingredients.

And then they have the Schedule 1 and 2 medications which look comedically similar to their S0 counterparts

I think for schedule 1, I think they can advertise, but it’s OTC. Schedule 1 is stuff like, throat lozenges with benzocaine and other things that could potentially be dangerous, but you can only buy in small quantities.

Schedule 2, They are allowed to say if they have stock and apparently run discount promotions on them, but they cannot openly display images of the products. Stuff like ibuprofen, codeine, antihistamines, pseudoephedrine etc.

Example here:

clicks. co. za/brands/benylin †

1. Benylin for babies and losers

2. Benylin for the real deal hatman seekers

† (Sorry about the spaces, I don’t want to accidentally break any community rules nor let those cunts notice Lemmy traffic. Not advertising. Fuck Clicks. Fuck J&J. Cook your own meds in mum’s bathtub)

I’ve been using this extension for over a year now. The only malicious use I’ve seen has been petty.

Occasionally see a video from a controversial creator titled something like “Asshole talks about stupid bullshit for 25 minutes” on fresh uploads.

The titles do change quite a bit. A lot of my title suggestions were changed/improved by others.

There’s a voting system, so you’d need a big group of bad actors fighting uphill for something that isn’t really all that worth it.

My dick fits into all of them

Seems pretty universal to me 😎

this is multidimensional wisdom

If it brings you any solace, Mr Raised-by-4chan is getting absolutely thundercunted with downvotes.

Haven’t seen that many in a long while.

When I see �, I just assume the user or another dev is using a non-standard keyboard, or my fonts aren’t up to date

When I see this shit, I lose all blood flow to the brain and then just collapse

Ah, that makes sense. I thought you meant IT as in information technology. Was very confused.

Brain still good yey

edit: typo. perhaps I need to make that appointment

Pardon my ignorance. I may have a mild brain injury.

Could you perhaps rephrase?

I’m not sure if I understood what you said.

you are a wise man

I am glad our paths crossed in this reality

when you make cereal, do you put the flakes in first or the water

especially in a police interrogation room

Are you telling me there is a room dedicated to mush

Can I somehow do this in reverse to my health insurance provider to get them to pay for my fucking antidepressants

+ a monthly service fee

for the price of a cup of coffee

I assume it’s when you detain someone and fuck with their minds.

The CIA had a program called MK Ultra during the cold war where they did exactly that. They did unspeakably cruel acts to people.

Lots of torture and, for some reason, lots of LSD was involved.

Yeah, I’m not in the US. The first time I heard about them was when they shit the bed.
