Yes. For a while, South Korean internet nicknamed him the “Gold Goblin” (after Diablo), since he was so disliked that anyone shown hitting him would receive a decent amount of money in donations.

Why is this ad weirdly sexually charged?

Is Donald trying to make another duck?

This way when the country bursts into flames it won’t bring the rest of the world with it.

The interconnected nature of the world these days means that it would be inevitable that everyone else would be embroiled in whatever it is that happens.

Plus the military doesn’t want to show the full extent of their intelligence capabilities right off the bat. They would much rather be underestimated.

Is there a cheesy black market?

There is, like there is for olive oil, or maple syrup. Especially if it’s authentic. Olive Oil infamously has multiple fakes floating about, where it’s something else passed off as olive oil.

It makes them sound like a car or something.

It doesn’t help that people don’t tend to clean their phones like they do their toilet, but will take their phone into the water closet anyhow.

But this isn’t mood altering substances, it’s an obsesity drug.

Like antibiotics, it should be fine as long as it isn’t forced on people.

It’s kind of bizarre that if I pay 7 bucks in the US for a pastry and coffee I might need to sign the receipt.

You half-expect them to pull out the old card-roller and carbon paper at that point.

No. Tap to pay only requires a PIN for large purchases ($100 or so), or if you turn on the setting to ask for a PIN for small purchases too.

I’ve only needed to enter my PIN for small purchases when inserting and using debit/EFT@POS functions.

Ah, that’s unfortunate, but understandable.

Although part of the difficulty is that if you’re coming from a centralised place like Reddit, Fediverse takes a bit to wrap your head around. Lemmy had a whole issue going for a while, where people logically flocked to the largest instance that they could find, possibly out of the misunderstanding that you had to pick and choose an instance.

Or it turns out you accidentally left caps lock on, and now you’re locked out for a few minutes.

They did point out that they believed the food to be safe in the restaurant.

They might have thought everything was above board, but it turned out to not be the case.

1. Naked wrestling…

That just sounds like a euphemism for sex, not an alternative.

Even if you were 100% perfectly committed, there would be all sorts of little signals and things that would leak out enough for them to adjust pricing accordingly. The kind of clothes you’re wearing, the time of day you’re shopping at, your gait, expression, etc.

Even if you were able to perfectly exclude all information about you, it’s possible to gather data from the hole that you leave behind. You aren’t leaving data behind like a lot of other customers, so that would probably make you either old, or privacy-inclined. You’re not buying the same things as an old person, so you’re not old, and you can pick it up from there.

That doesn’t mean that they would have power over the policy, though. They might just get policy that they’re expected to carry out, no questions asked.

That’s… it? You can get knighted for being “fairly good” at your job for half a decade, and then quitting?

Yes. Knighthood is generally up to the whims of the monarch. Although to make it there, it’s generally expected you have an achievement significant enough to be befitting of one.

But from what I recall, there’s little stopping his majesty from conferring a knighthood onto Chief Mouser Larry for his research into the napping suitability of 10 Downing Street’s furniture, if he wanted to do that.

Is there a Wrong Dishonourable title?

Anyone know how skipping breakfast contributes? It seems like it would do the opposite.
