Ah gross, don't ruin the volcano with their filth. You'll piss off some old god.

The biggest thing for me is it looks like they are finally giving us back more than 4 quick settings in the notification pull down. They'll probably mess it up somehow, but one can dream right?

In fairness, if you saw a stranger enter your town and the first thing they do is murder a random chicken in cold blood, you'd be raising the alarm too.

I'm not telling you my plan zombie, but rest assured, once you're defeated, we'll all get taken out by some zombie-denier anyways.

What!!!! other cultures are ahead of Americans on personal hygiene, I'm super shocked!!! /s

Master...I beg of you, bestow upon us your great wisdom, how can one achieve such greatness to tell sugar from salt?

+10 if the little sibling answers the phone

You see the free trial is for the super premium add-free teir, once you sign up you get the add version.

Might have something to with the easter season, oh and something about a dead Pope? Don't worry it'll die down once beach season starts up.

Yeah, the "weakness" question is crappy. "Growth Area" is a better phrasing. People start to say things like "I talk too much" "I have poor communication" or try to spin it; "I'm so attentive to details, sometimes I have trouble with time management". None of that is helping you.

The best way to answer is talk about something job related you're looking to improve at the job.

Maybe you're interviewing at a bakery. Pick something off the "menu" and say something like I've never had the opportunity to learn how to make a traditional baguette or something. You want it to be specific enough to not look stupid, you don't want to apply to a bakery and say I've never baked cookies from skratch (unless its as an entry level assistant or something)

If I were asking the question, I'd simply say "what are you looking forward to learning at the job?" It accomplishes a few things A) tells the applicant the company is probably invested in their growth B) If the applicant is selected, it gives some insight into where to start the applicants training C) if the applicant says "I dunno I know the job already" it shows the applicant isn't interested in learning.

I can see an international trip costing money, either funded by participants or fundraiser.

Sounds like you had a cool time traveling, in the states you're lucky if they have the funds to bus some kids to the public library

There were a lot of after school stuff that had travel, mainly sports and music. The foreign language dept sometimes was able to an abroad trip with like 7 students.

But the history class that wants to go to a museum can pound sand.

I'd count a field trip under the "crazy they have to fundraising"

I could see it if the fundraising is for an after school club trying to go on a trip?

But if the class were going to the museum or something, there should be a budget for that.

Then the peasant farmers either burn you both for witchcraft or shun you as the village idiot rambling about nonsense.

I suppose there could be business in procurement of "specialty products". These guys do all the shopping around or find someone to make that one odd part you need or figure where to get 50,000 packages of foobar and how to ship/store it while you continue on with your life.

...have you ever gone?

Piracy will always be a problem, someone is always looking for the free route. The paid routes used to be guarantees of availability, malware free, and a quality copy. Now its almost the opposite, a pirated file is always available, usually malware free and higher resolution than whatever the data mining services feel like feeding you.

Don't people buy stuff on OF, more than just a sub? Is it easily available for download in a common file format or is access stuck on the website even though you bought it?

I agree that straight piracy of content is bad. Piracy is primarily a service problem, TV and movie piracy was down in the mid 2010s until all the streaming services divided. Music piracy is basically gone thanks to early iTunes and even more so with today's streaming services. OF piracy will always be a thing because people want their free porn and the parasocial relationship they don't get on the regular free sites.

If corporations refuse to just sell us the file and can randomly revoke access or change the content (like Amazon's been doing with book), then the community will find ways to strip out the DRM and other protections just to preserve the content they bought.

I don't have a problem with github removing of projects that aim to circumvent purchasing content, but projects that simply "unlock" purchased content should be allowed to thrive.

Edit: I should add, if corporations can't be bothered to respect what the word buy means, why I should I bother to provide them money? morality is a two way street, if one side is dishonest and shady, do they really have a right to whine when others steal from them?

Edit 2: in case it wasn't clear the "dishonest and shady" one is the corporations. Its to the point were I pretty much only pay creators directly (patreon, etc) where I know good chunk of my money goes to the artist not the publisher/middle man. If I'm buying a movie or something its either a DVD or getting screen caped on the first watch for archival purposes.

Oh great, so NASA is the mean one for not going easy on the kid. Now their big brother is gonna come next time.

Or NASA has better ping than the aliens.
