I mean, I'd probably consider agreeing with @"Hanover" at this point. The scenario you're describing is like something out of an international spy mov...

Wouldn't that be like, a huge deal, turning @"Jamal" into a celebrity overnight and elevating this quiet little corner of the Internet into something ...

I think his point was, based on his understanding, which I assume to be accurate, OSA compliance basically protects a person from all of that, assumin...

Interesting! I also feel it relevant to note TPF does, apparently, have its share of enemies. Not really "enemies" of the forum itself (that would be ...

I recall hearing enough about "the old place" so as to form a relevant and accurate enough (albeit understandably underlying-ly ignorant) narrative, y...

See this is why places like this, at least in the Lounge, should have a topic or something where past "legends" (or villains to some) can have their s...

Always a loyal follower of TPF recommendation (and local folklore in general), I actually set out to obtain some not long after you initially offered ...

One might say, conversely, since the Internet (including ChatGPT) is not only of course built by humans but ultimately a constant (albeit echoed) algo...

Not quite. All it takes is making someone believe something—anything—that results in dehumanization (or dehumanization by proxy ie. elevation of one's...

Or, you can just copy and paste them (along with relevant information such as the particular contest name and type, date of publication, user vote dat...

Yeah. Most people can do that too. I have a "dump" of everything I've ever said, thought, or experienced in a usable database I can search and access ...
November 22, 2025 at 23:22
That's... one way to look at events. For those who see beyond the mortal eye, who become aware to what the real battles are, it's clear. Free thinkers...

Ah, beautiful. Yes I figured the discussion syntax is quite easy to create a redirect for. Looks like a basic static 301. The comments would be intere...

And naivety is no intentional offense. Which means it is not an unreasonable position to hold. So, how will you reach those who are naturally compassi...

That said there's 8 billion people with 8 billion interests who you have no say over whatsoever, so. Not seeing the relevance of your lone opinion as ...

Some of us can type as fast as we think. It's not hard, really. Almost natural if such is part of one's job or daily routine. A short essay can be wri...

Perhaps one shouldn't. But now the subject matter has shifted. We are now talking about hardcore criminals whereas before one might consider just anot...
