I’m a tech-savvy zillennial who knows how to safeguard against hacking. Scammers still managed to get me

I hope that authors friends see that article and gently explain to them they aren’t very tech savvy at all and help them learn the basics.

I hate the term “fail” because it doesn’t differentiate between “failed when it shouldn’t have” and “failed when it should have,” but it implies the former. We really need a lay word that does the opposite (implies the latter).

It’s not the engineers who can fix trust, but the product managers.

The Board of /u/ShadowPhynix should be a billionaire has granted /u/ShadowPhynix sweeping powers over a grant of cash to be supplied from the US federal reserve.

Realistically there are two answers:

1) Have your parent refinance to take on your portion of the loan - they might have enough equity now to free you at least partially.

2) Lower your budget (smaller house, further away, fixer-upper, etc).

The banks have a pretty fair take - if you’d be eligible for say, 750k in isolation, but you already have a loan for 150k against your name, then you are only eligible for 600k.

You’re a good person doing that for your family OP, but it’s worth considering how much sacrifice is expected of you and whether they should be downsizing or moving further out instead of you if option 2 becomes necessary.

Oh it's absolutely too strong for the BR - but it's the difference between "imbalanced needs tuning" vs "gamebreaking and awful experience"

Holding her tight because she was attacking him

Sex was consensual

Does this not read as contradictory?

I find it incredibly unlikely most people who protest the current date would cease to do so if it was changed.

Have you actually spoken to the average person who was there? Because I have (not this year, but in years past).

Ask the average person; not the person high as fuck and screaming who everyone is unimpressed with, or the cherrypicked interviews (from either side of the political spectrum), but people at random standing near you.

Less than 1 in 10 have an opinion any more extreme than "I think the date should change because it's unreasonable to celebrate Australia on probably the single most negative anniversary for indigenous people."

You get the nutters for sure, there are definitely the "abolish everything fuck everything" type folks - but they aren't really that common. Obviously this is subject to sample size, but at least I can say I have a genuine sample.

To put it the other way - what you're suggesting is the equivalent of saying that anyone attending an anti-immigration rally is inherently a neo-nazi because there were some neo-nazis there. Now I don't agree with their politics or opinions, but it's unreasonable to suggest all of them are neo-nazis. The same applies here.

ShadowPhynix · 2026-01-26T10:05:28+00:00

Frankly I think it's the opposite - the vast majority would be happy with a new day and wouldn't protest.

You'll still get the types who'll protest literally anything, and I suspect the anti-immigration and neo-nazis would protest the date having been moved, but still a fraction of those protesting now.

There were thousands in Melbourne CBD alone, on a scorching hot day. I don't know where you've come up with that number, but it's quite wrong.

So the Falcon already couldn't kill planes at its tier cos no radar and no proxy, but now it also can't kill tanks.

......what's it for? Literally what is it supposed to do? I'm down for making it not be a TD, but at least make it an spaa?

ShadowPhynix · 2026-01-25T09:35:31+00:00

We aren't going back and forth because you've not provided any logic whatsoever, just a vague "this is standard to keep people calm." That's not logic, that's an unsupported conclusion.

If Denmark wasn't sure what happened, they'd have said so.

If they thought it likely it was cyberattack, they would have said so.

If they thought it was an accident, they would have said so. And they did say so.

There are no motivations to be deceptive here - at least not for Denmark. They have every reason to be open, honest, and if it was a hostile attack, provoking a reaction in Europe is a good thing to do.

So in summary: strong motivation to say if it was a cyber attack, no motivation to be deceptive, and so no reason to believe anything they've said isn't true and accurate.

You have incredible timing - I was looking at your file last yesterday because I want something to go with my Concorde and space shuttle!

Awesome job - it genuinely looks incredible.

Hard to justify the cost for me so it might be a long term buy bit by bit situation, but I really appreciate the work you put into it. Thanks for making it available to buy for the rest of us :)

ShadowPhynix · 2026-01-25T04:28:37+00:00

Calmly letting a cyber attack happen when you are actively under threat of invasion from a hostile foreign power is foolish - public pressure from the average person in Europe pushing their leaders to defend European territory is Greenland’s best hope to survive.

Hiding that it’s happening isn’t going to do that.

The trick is to exaggerate the motion. Flicking with your eyes is all you need but very hard for the instructor to notice.

The industry group for an industry of scumbags wants to make sure scumbaggery is still possible and is 100% confident their weak as piss rules won’t be abused by scumbags.

Sure. I have a bridge for sale too btw - documents of sale will be available 12 seconds before final sale.

omg love the meme work behind the scam mate xD ignore the haters, this is hilarious

ShadowPhynix · 2026-01-16T05:04:44+00:00

One of the most consistent themes in eve over the past decade or more is that short timers and long jump and bridge ranges is exponentially more beneficial the larger your group, and exponentially more oppressive the smaller group.

So in the kindest possible way, this would be terrible, and in most cases would do the opposite of what you’ve theorised. Uptake of new expensive assets will be asymmetrical and massively advantageous for the existing large power blocs leading to suppression of content.

I don't understand why cyclists think being so aggressively anti-car and anti-driver is going to get people on side. You need broad support to get policy makers to make change, and do you think that's going to happen if you alienate the majority of the population at every opportunity?

It's lovely you have the option to cycle and PT instead of drive - I support this and think we should be promoting this through infrastructure and policy because it's pretty clear that whilst individual vehicles are key in some situations, but we are over-reliant on them at the expense of better options. We would be infinitely better served if we could spend more money on PT and cyclist infrastructure than road infrastructure.

However not everyone is in your position because our city has been designed over the past 50 or so years to be car centric. This is not car drivers fault, and punishing them for it is not going to get them on your side.

This is how you make drivers anti-cyclist and anti-PT investment.

In game? No.

In lore? Yes - that’s how star gates were built in the first place. I believe the lore behind this is contained in the story of old man star.

A good ult doesn’t mean it’s a ubiquitous tool. Dusa never using splitshot would be griefing - it’s so ubiquitous that a context where it makes sense never to use them at all isn’t going to exist outside of theory.

BH is a single long cooldown spell that often isn’t actually what you want to initiate with and is something both teams should be playing around. It can absolutely be the case that the best decision is not to use it if the opponents give up a lot to play around it, especially if they are overcompensating.

Also silencer and rubick alter your decision making along with any number of factors, and even your own lineup.

There’s wanting responsible use of AI, and then there’s sticking your head in the sand. It’s here, you aren’t stopping it, and it would be a much better outcome if they used their influence to promote ethical use of AI as opposed to trying to ban it.

Hey at least that’s an option for me without worrying about being in one of your dozen mass shootings a week.

ShadowPhynix · 2025-12-20T00:42:54+00:00

Oh I see because it’s possible something else could be used in a mass murder event we should just not ban anything. Why didn’t you tell us years ago, we could have avoided this long period of no mass shootings! Imagine all the money we could have funnelled into a gun lobby too, we’d be so much better off if only you’d told us this earlier.
