Looking through the info they have on me, it seems entirely made up of information regarding past purchases and shipping locations. It mentioned having 2 people at my address, but said other person has an account linked to mine and with the same shipping address, so it’s all relatively shallow information. I didn’t see any deep dive “HOW DID THEY GET THAT??” stuff that would otherwise be alarming.

Edit: I should add that I don’t own or use any of their Alexa products or any related technology. Those might spy on people a little more thoroughly.

This article is dated “9 October 2025” which would make it almost a year old.

I remember seeing a bunch of stuff years ago about people calling out a large part of Man vs Wild for being staged (YouTube link).

Hey same here! I found out about a year after it happened.

Edit looks like they banned me from DND next as well.

I’m pretty sure said mod just went through every upvote and banned a ton of people regardless of whether they knew it was a spambot.

Tell that to my horrible sitting posture.🦐

Sometimes you get banned for being nice, or even just for being in the wrong instance.

Those all sound like fake VPN apps that I wouldn’t trust anyway.

The vandalism was putting them up in the first place.

Time to go buy a shit sponge like the ancient romans used.

As someone who has enough interest in etymology to understand the thorn character, it feels weirdly natural to actually read modern English that uses it. Count me as part of the pro-“bring Þ and/or ð back to the English language” group.

That said, it’s not practical to use it at this point because most people would freak out and get upset when they see anything they don’t understand, and most people (at least in the U.S.) can barely read at a level comparable to younger children.

I can drive for 10 hours in one direction and not leave my U.S. state. I’m not even close to the border to another state either.

Wikipedia defines it as:

an area within a metropolitan area which is predominantly residential and within commuting distance of a large city.

I’d say it’s a very fit definition of where I’m at. Most people commute to the metropolitan areas which are mostly manufacturing, and can reliably commute to the nearest city by car (though it can be an hour drive at some places). It’s mostly residential here, some woodland between communities but sometimes little woodland within them.

I’m about an hour out from the nearest city, in a suburban area. I’m closer to the boonies than anything like New York City or Chicago.

The local joints around me you can get a big burger, a big glass of beer, and a big side of fries for $15, maybe $20 tops. Whoever is buying just the burger for $25 is getting ripped off.

Maybe we just need more affordable phones.

For prepackaged and bulk it would work good, but I’m not buying fresh produce sight unseen.

Stores will turn into warehouses.

Swedish Chef as Tom Bombadil is perfect!

The Lord of the Rings, but Gandalf is the only human actor and everyone else are Muppets.
