yeah, and you completely missed the point. the difficulty in closing your amazon account is just one (relatively benign, i agree) example of how dark patterns can be used to keep you from doing something the company doesnt want you to. but it’s certainly not the only way they can be used.

ok, so when netflix hides the ‘cancel subscription’ option or similar. use your imagination.

lol burnt in the comment section of a 9 month old article. ouch.

“MAC addresses are easy to spoof, so if this tip gets more annoying than practical” but then they’d need to know a valid mac address right? and it’d have to also be a mac address that is not already currently connected? i dont see this as particularly concerning.

without a legit pass threat, bell would be mediocre anyways. bell is great and i love watching him play, but we have a great line a great qb and an insane receiving core, it’s the ideal situation for any RB to shine.

so... to stop giving amazon your money.... buy things from other companies?  this is some next-level shit, im gonna have to run some numbers, consult some experts, conduct some polls and get back to you with my findings.

lol at the dongle.  who was it who wrote the article in praise of dongles the other day? that’s just too good.

there’s a put-put course with sand traps, go there.

“The mayor of Jeffersonville, Indiana, where Schnatter was born, $400,000 donation from Schnatter to restore the Nachand Fieldhouse, a historic gym.”  I know this isn’t the point, but i really wish you guys, who are getting paid to create content, would just read over your posts once before hitting submit.  What is…

top headline when going to theroot.com: 

ok but if your kid doesnt want to go, then what, they just win?  there were plenty of days i didnt want to go to school, if my parents had said ‘ok well we are going without you’ i wouldve been like ‘sweet, ill stay here, dont hurry home now ok’.  

i know im focusing on the wrong part here, but what does it mean to hotline someone? i cant seem to find the right way to google it.  or does it just mean to report someone to a hotline?

so you dont see the difference?

it’s hard to imagine you actually can’t see the difference between taking a picture of yourself or a place in which other people are incidentally in-shot vs taking a picture specifically of another person(s) and posting it online with them as the object of emphasis.

ive found 35 seconds on high is just right, gets it nice and warm but not so hot you have to wait to eat it.

based on everything ive seen and heard about burning man, i tend to think its probably the exact opposite. but i guess i don’t know for sure.

soccer is the #1 sport where random non-players think they could just walk on to a field and be about the same skill / effectiveness as the other players currently there. but every time ive seen a random non-player try to do that, theyve made complete fools of themselves.
