I thought BioShock Infinite felt like something new compared to the first two.

I had a lot of fun trying to look for more surveillance with each watch through of The Truman Show.

Encouraging people to be safe and care about their privacy on the internet is not victim blaming.

I’m sure their privacy policy gave the standard promises about storing their private data in a secure way, which _they did not do. _

This is what people want to warn others of. The developers of Tea are hardly the only offenders. Definitely not an example of victim blaming.

Same here. I think it’s hilarious to when I see posts along the lines of “I don’t have time to play souls like” or "I want to enjoy games when I play. " I can boot up a souls like and play for 15 minutes or hours. They’re so relaxing to me.

A group of people with the intention of privately sharing details of people in order to track their behavior is definitely going to lead to doxxing. Maybe I’m getting the wrong idea, but it sounds like they are sharing the names of people they went on dates with. I assume that would include the city or town the date occurred which would infer where abouts they live. Given enough “reviews” of a single person I’m sure there would be sufficient info to call it doxxing.

Thanks I fixed it

I agree 100% that women face many more dangers especially in the dating scene than men. I’m all for having resources available for them to remain as safe as possible.

I don’t see how a Rate My Professor type app would work well for dates. I feel like people would only spend the time to rate poor dates. If you had a really good date with someone, you would presumably start dating them so why would you let everyone else know they are a good person to go out with? I have no doubt there are some awful people out there that others should be warned about, but this type of app is a bit too risky to justify that in my opinion.

The background check feature sounds much more legit, but I don’t think a group chat feature needs to exist along side it.

All that being said, anyone enjoying the doxxing of others is just an asshole. There’s definitely nothing fair about it from either side.

I 100% agree that it isn’t relevant to the doxxing. I dont think the doxxing is warranted at all from either side. Most of what I saw about the app is just from various social media users as well as the Google PlayStore reviews. Personally I find it hard to believe the app wasn’t made with the purpose to dox people just based on the name alone. The ads make it seem like a safespace for women and if that’s all it was meant to be then it for sure had a very unfortunate name.

I’m all for groups of safe spaces for women. Especially when it’s designed to keep them safe while dating. I have my doubts that Tea was that. Even if it was advertised as such, “tea” is slang for the word gossip. I’ve heard stories from several sources that it was used to dox people as well. Not saying what happened to the users is right. I think some users here are just feeling smug that this might cause the app to fail or shut down.

Considering that “tea” is common slang for gossip I’m not convinced there was many of the latter former.

Which is not a good reason to upload photos of drivers licenses.

They recently released an installer for Linux. It’s an ISO which I did not have much luck running on Linux Mint. Before that was released, they released TurtleWoW as a portable zip file. They still update the game with that release. I use Proton on Steam to run it on Mint with no issues.

No legal issues for players to worry about. My understanding is that since it is a version of WoW that doesn’t exist anywhere else at this point, it’s ok to run severs for it as long as money isn’t being charged for it. TurtleWoW devs do accept “donations” which will reward players with in game cosmetics, but as far as I know, no pay to win items. Unless you count a pet that acts as a portable bank. Using it let’s you interact with your bank that can otherwise only be accessed from various cities in game. I don’t have that pet myself, but I have been able to use other players’ when I come across them in the world.

I think the difference with his guitar playing and drawing was that he probably just didn’t enjoy learning guitar. Tons of people buy an instrument to only learn later that they didn’t like it as much as they thought. Not trying to say you don’t know your kid, just pointing out that learning an art requires an interest to put into it. It can definitely be frustrating to realize that you aren’t as interested in the learning process of something you had dreams of being good at.

I’ve enjoyed OSRS on and off since about 2004, but if you’re wanting to avoid walking simulators, it is the worst offender. A big part of the game is calculating the best possible path to follow. You are making trips to the bank in between every activity and multiple times per quest. Many skills exist just to ease to burden of traveling around the world.

My personal favorite MMO is vanilla WoW. I’m obviously biased but it is just what I had the most fun with back when it came out and I think it still holds up incredibly well today. I play on a private server called TurtleWoW and it is 100% free. They have continuously added their own expansions over time and are currently working on a client that runs the game in Unreal Engine if you desire more modern graphics.

If it seems to old school, Guild Wars 2 is a really good choice as well. I played through the base game and first expansion of FF14 and ultimately wasn’t impressed. It’s great if you like to role play with other players, but everyone is so focused on playing the meta that it took all of the fun out of the game for me. People would kick me out of groups for trying to play with my own personalized set up.

I am an orderly that was in surgical services and we had a young girl covered in nazi tattoos that came in for surgery. We had to care for her the same as anyone else. Of course we all talked mad shit after that anesthesia kicked in.

This was or maybe even still is a thing. My grandpa was forced to wear a sock on his left hand when learning to write as a child. He would be hit if he didn’t.

Cooter Cooler rolls off the tongue better.

I believe every genre is filled with good and bad music. I used to think I didn’t like country or reggae but it was really just the mainstream music of those genres I disliked. Mainstream country has a lot of stereotypical lyrics and mainstream reggae has a lot of slow single chord riffs. But after a bit of digging I found artists and songs that explore those genres in more unique ways.

Try given Kamasi Washington a listen!

You’re not wrong. There may be legitimate reasons to turn down food. There are definitely other indicators which could be a tell as to whether they are truly needy or not. Their response to food is usually a big one, but shouldn’t necessarily be the only thing to make judgements on.
