Eli5: your PC has different access levels a program can run at. This prevents a malicious or badly coded program from completely fucking your computer. Kernel level anti cheat runs at the lowest level access that exists under windows. It can do basically whatever it wants to your PC, and if a backdoor is coded in (happens way more than you’d think), it gives malware basically total access to your PC.
Reddit has an absolutely massive wealth of community knowledge. If you want to find a community for $thing or gain obscure knowledge on $thing, that’s where you go (assuming there isn’t an old forum post from before Reddit killed forums).
Twitter is where a lot of people still are. If you’re the kind of person to care what a particular person says, that’s where you probably want to be.
Instagram is used by young people who have friends on Instagram.
It isn’t a great system, but it is the system that we have today. This is why legislation compelling Meta/Twitter/whothefuckever to act in an ethical manner is important. Social media is to some extent a natural oligopoly, and unless we get extremely, extremely lucky, the fediverse will always be a niche community.
You don’t. You don’t pick your genetics, your family, the accidents that happen in your life, or even (to a certain extent) your environment.
If you want to save money on health insurance, stop letting insurance and healthcare companies fuck all of us for their own profit.
Literally the entire point of insurance is that everyone pays into a pool which is used to subsidize the people with bad luck who will have to claim more than their peers.
Kroger and Safeway have been the absolute face of enshittification since the pandemic. They’ve also been accused of price fixing, and are trying to merge into a monopoly. They also regularly abuse disabled employees (at multiple stores in my area).
I have absolutely no doubt that they will do this the moment they think they can get away with it. In a fair economy, they would have been driven out of business years ago.
Also, you can take PrEP to avoid catching it in the first place.
Which for the record, you absolutely should do if you’re queer, your partner is queer, or if you engage in high risk behaviors. Asymptomatic HIV is a scary thing.
I prefer burning. Put your witch on a nice, big bonfire, and if you can hear the demons they’ve enslaved screaming when the fire gets going, then they’re a witch.
If not, make sure you have enough water to douse the fire before it moves north of their legs.
You’re disgusted by our brave civil servants engaged in their holy duty? That sounds like something a witch would say!
Then you’re exactly the same as the people who passed the book ban in the first place.
If your ideas cannot stand up to the existence of other ideas, then they aren’t good ideas.
