Because claps are the only currency accepted on the secret market where medical workers buy their groceries.

If you wish to ask websites to respect your privacy, you can use the “Tell websites not to sell or share my data” setting. This option is built on top of the Global Privacy Control (GPC). GPC is respected by increasing numbers of sites and enforced with legislation in some regions.

So is the difference that DNT was asking for no tracking at all while this GPC setting allows for tracking data to be created but not forwarded to third parties? That seems reasonable, not all “tracking” is malicious. Though I wonder why, if DNT isn’t respected, any other vaguely similar setting would be.

What does that entail?

So did I exist before? Am I effectively offing myself? There’s too many unknowns here.

Depends. What’s the alternative?

Huel. I’m just waiting for some random internet person doctor to tell me how exactly I’m making my already shaky health significantly worse because I’m too lazy tired for anything more than powder in water.

Also, the decades-old radiator in my flat is probably just spewing all sorts of hazardous particles and nobody will know until they do an autopsy on me.

Because spez was being a dip shit. Other than that, yeah, idklol

Cat.

That is definitely a take.

Because they too are members of that community, they too grew up there. Not trying to excuse their inaction, but it all fits the bigger picture.

As soon as individual victims dare to report individual perpetrators to the police. In this tiny, tight-knit island community. Where everyone knows everyone.

I’ve used it once to suggest a specific term that I’m going to use in my comic. I was utterly incapable of formulating a conventional search query for a search engine so, after endlessly browsing various thesauri, in the end I resorted to asking perplexity ai. Still took a bit and I had to fight it to get it to understand what I was asking but I did eventually find a term that fits. Felt dirty afterwards. Does that count as “productive”?

The only other thing was the title of a book I read 30 years ago and had only vague memory of. So I gave it an approximate description including a plot point I thought I remembered. The first result it gave me wasn’t it. But it claimed the plot involved the thing I remembered. I then asked again and the second result actually was the correct book - turns out I had almost completely misremembered the plot point but it still said “yep, this happens in this book”. Very weird experience.

Must Human males now compete with Klingons too for the elusive female of their own species? Where will it end?! /j

Depends on context. A serious illness, a serious conversation, a serious movie all look different.

Or am I misunderstanding?

I hate that this would work on me. I’m also stingy as fuck which comes in handy here but I can absolutely hear myself go “aww” at a stupid single banana.

Sure. And depending on the circumstances the conditions might not make you look like a very nice person. Which you are of course free to ignore.

The problem is that you are convinced they’re going to buy drugs. You do not know that person, it is not your place to decide that.

No, I do not agree that simply offering help is patronising.

Giving another person money usually implies the transfer of ownership of that money to that other person, unless otherwise specified.

If you’re already standing in front of a food cart, I suppose.

The point is to help this person temporarily alleviate a problem they have, whatever that problem may be. If you don’t want to do this, fine, but if you’re only willing to give money if they use that money in ways that you deem wholesome, that’s patronising.
