They're in the area!

Requesting a dump of my FB account data now. Planning to archive my data on my home server and delete my account when i get my zip.

Diablo 2 was my first and favorite, I played the shit out of that game with my friends. We'd join up and rush each other, share equipment, meticulously plan our builds, and kill the strongest stuff we could find.

The story was stale after the first playthrough, and yeah I killed Baal and Mephisto thousands of times, but it was so much fun. There wasn't an auction house or an ability to buy the best equipment. Leveling up didn't take forever, so I could build a level 80 character in a few weekends of grinding away.

I played Diablo 3 too, but it felt like they lost the storytelling magic and focused more on monetization. Rifts were cool, but I really just felt like it was more of the same with better graphics and different characters / skill trees. It wasn't novel enough to grind away my weekends on.

I haven't tried the latest, and despite having a phone, I refuse to play Immortal or whatever (if that is still around).

I am over Blizzard games at this point ... in the 90s and early 2000s they could do no wrong. Since they hitched up with Activision they completely lost the plot.

Kiss the ring.

This would encourage me to choose physical fitness, or to laugh as my tired ass goes up the escalator. I certainly see where there is room for hurt feelings (especially with regards to health issues), but this is pretty effective given that it is in a different language and I instantly understood it.

They would have made a fortune on placing these in high school locker rooms.

Personally I wouldn't worry too much about where you mount the volume, I use /storage on my boxes because I is easy to remember and sounds good to me. I also typically make a storage group that I give access to manage the files in the volume vs having my user own everything.

I wouldn't put it in home just because you are considering sharing with others.

A lot of people are saying..

The company name is telling. Metadata is data about data. Data about you. They sell that. That's their whole business. That should be enough to not want to knowingly feed them more.

You think, "but I don't use Facebook or insta or threads, so I'm safe". Not so fast. Companies want to know how effective their ad spending is on meta products, so they integrate the Facebook sdk into their apps.

They are just over there sucking up data and selling it for billions. Oh and influencing elections and radicalizing our parents while their code infects apps and websites. The cancer comparison isn't far off.

Fast food is pretty gross if you don't eat it regularly. I think a lot of it is how addictive it can be. A hit of caffeine, sugar, salt, and fat when you are hungry and tired hits the spot.

People get stuck in these routines, and the companies have apps and reward programs to gamify people into coming back.

Personally I'd find another job first. Once that is secure I'd plan my exit.

If your company does exit interviews I'd be frank and honest about your reasons for leaving. Consider having a quick outline prepared of what you want to tell them. I don't burn bridges on my way out when possible, but if you can articulate your problems well it might help the next person.

Clearly neither the constitution nor the Bible mention non-compete agreements, so we don't know how to approach this. /s

Shit

100% this. I refuse to take on any additional subscriptions. Now if I want a new subscription an existing one needs to be cancelled.

It highlights that their elected officials are messing with something they like. It is also a lot safer for the business to block a geographic area than deal with PII.

If they operate in those states they need to obtain proof of age. I don't exactly know how that works, since I haven't had to do it, but I imagine it is something like uploading a driver's license picture. If you have all that personal information you have to protect it, or risk information disclosure and lawsuits. A porn favorites list and personal identity info together in the same system is just asking to be hacked.

A person was probably heating up some pee on the way to cheat a drug test. They have little thermometer strips on the side, like what you see on a fish tank, to help verify the sample wasn't brought in or tampered with.

I don't think you can pivot a 465 billion dollar company. Especially one where being unethical is a profit making feature.

They won't fix themselves, hell why even reign it in if the system rewards bad behavior?

My first thought too. Throw in a few bookshelves, fill them up; waste of space becomes the coolest part of the house.
