That’s a good point. I wouldn’t call that mainstream, though.

I’m not sure if Al Capone gets support the way that Walter White does or if he’s more of a Robin Hood…but a lot of the “heroic criminals” in US folklore (especially the criminals of the “wild West” who robbed banks and supported the poor) are purely the Robin Hood types.

Dahmer’s fans are crazy. As are the Columbine Shooters’ fans. But Robin Hood-types could generally be supported by the general person without raising an eyebrow these days.

Yeah. The serial killers are definitely infamous, but nobody normal is thinking “Boy, we could sure use someone like that again”.

…but someone who goes around stealing from big banks and insurance companies while also destroying people’s mortgages (so they don’t have to make payments on their houses)? I’m sure some people could get behind that.

Especially with the reaction we’re seeing to the murder of the health insurance company CEO. I’m sure people have been coming up with lists of other deserving CEOs.

I don’t think Manson, Gacy, or Dahmer are idolized.

Simpson and Tyson are idolized for their non-criminal activities, not because they’re criminals. They’re not famous for being criminals, whereas most of the others are.

Trump is definitely an interesting one though…lol

Usually they’re just U to me, and then I look up what they could be and then they become just FOs to me.

This is why I never want to be a moderator, lol

They have to specify because most places ban those, but not man-boobs.

I played A Blurred Line back in the day and loved it. I wish it would turn out that the creator ended up making an indie game or something, but I fear its story will never be completed.

The discrepancy between the post title and the comments is absolutely astounding

Are you saying the two sides are…

• Do literally everything possible for privacy, and
• No, some things are not necessary

?

So how much randomly-dropped DNA have you analyzed recently?

Nationality-Style gives the expected result.

And there are, of course, exceptions!

You could probably get away with it in Japan or Korea, too. In Japan, they’d be glaring at you for saving your seat, and in Korea, an old person might sit on your phone or yell at you…but the phone would still be there

I actually try to remember as few of my passwords as possible. Take away my password manager and switch my keyboard from QWERTY to DVORAK (and scramble the number pad), and I’m not getting into anything other than my email and 1 bank account.

In the future we are going to look back on seeing children use iPads that directly connect them to the most sophisticated engagement and manipulation algorithms ever as something as horrid as a child smoking a cigarette, or doing any other drug

Are we looking at video games this way now?

I got a new phone number once, and I tried to link it to my Amazon and AirBnB accounts.

Amazon basically said “you need to delete your old account if you can’t log in to delink your phone number”. The guy who used to have my number didn’t figure out what was happening, so his Amazon account got deleted.

AirBnB sent a OTP for his account to my phone number and let me log into his account with nothing but that.

“there friends” would be like… friends that are somewhere else. As opposed to “here friends”, I guess

I thought it was, but Wikipedia says there isn’t actually a connection!

You make it sound like the peeing dude was also the one making the sandwich, lmao

Ah, TIL!

I have to admit that the anticipation of launching a PS1 game is nostalgic for me. I feel like that’s the last time that loading screens were bearable. At least until we got SSDs and indie games, lol
