71 Q people living in places with electricity resellers/markets: do y'all have to talk to people at random mall booths / the retention department to get better deals too, just like for phone/internet plans
71 Q why the hell does google play / app store / etc have "top grossing" lists
do people really go "ooh, this app has sucked millions of wallets dry and given many people gambling addictions, I'll definitely install that"
if it's for bragging rights you still don't have to make the list publicly accessible
mfm, big if true
71 O if true

71 Q I am making travel plans and I am having a difficult time picking between these two:
71 C I remember when mobile games actually took advantage of the touch screen / other controls instead of just having it as a worse version of existing control schemes
Q do they still do that these days
food
71 S I used to eat cereal just straight out of the bag as a snack
71 Q if our universe is torus-shaped, would it be an everything bagel
71 S fun fact: the weight of clothing (per amount) can be modelled with the step function
it either weighs next to nothing or is way too heavy
@lexi my university used to do this
71 I nickel-and-dime-ing someone but it's just charging them $0.15

having mass surveillance / telemetry does allow me to, theoretically, have answer to silly questions like "do people ever set their TV volumes (on a scale of 1-100) to a prime number above 10"
unfortunately people who actually collect/use the data only do it in the name of capitalism
71 I
pranking web devs by putting a .ts file in a repo, but it's actually a file from a DVD

Today, the NSA is planning a "Big Delete" of websites and internal network content that contain any of 27 banned words, including "privilege," "bias," and "inclusion," a NSA source tells Popular Information.
I putting this in my website like the Tiananmen square copypasta:
Anti-Racism Racism Allyship Bias DEI Diversity Diverse Confirmation Bias Equity Equitableness Feminism Gender Gender Identity Inclusion Inclusive All-Inclusive Inclusivity Injustice Intersectionality Prejudice Privilege Racial Identity Sexuality Stereotypes Pronouns Transgender Equality
kink (extreme?) as a joke, QuARC has been banned from the seattle metropolitan area
71 S vancouver is better than seattle, because trancing on translink is way less painful than sounding on sound transit

example with Wilfrid Laurier:
in the simplified version it's (typed out in traditional because I'm lazy):
威爾弗里德·勞雷爾，您選擇了一條光明大道，將樂觀與禮貌注入了加拿大人的品格之中。心懷叵測之人謀求分裂散播猜疑之時，您便會挺身而出，激勵人民共同攜手、相互理解。您將為世界證明，齊心協力的人民將使國家永立於世界之林。
and here's the traditional:
威爾弗里德·勞雷爾，你選擇了充滿陽光的坦途，將樂觀與禮儀深植在加拿大人民的血液裡。當其他人激化對立與猜疑時，你會力勸精誠合作與相互理解。你讓全世界看到，萬眾一心的人民將如何經歷時間的無盡考驗。
For reference here's the English:
You chose the sunny ways, Wilfrid Laurier, and made cheerfulness and courtesy the character of the Canadian people. Where others look to divide and sow mistrust, you inspire cooperation and understanding. Show the world that a unified people can stand the test of time.
