… you mean that thing we were talking about?

Apparently they’re up to three years now. Woo.

Good luck finding new ones in the US.

“Don’t hate the companies, hate the people who lobbied for copyright laws… the companies!”

Don’t worry, they’ll still use your data.

That’s what post-its are for!

Pretty sure I still have a headache from using one in a Blockbuster in the 90s.

PS: I don’t use condoms for my phones, if they need that for daily use, it’s an obvious design flaw!!!

You don’t use a condom because you know you’ll get a girl pregnant, you do it on the slim possibility. There’s always going to be outliers, and refusing to prepare for the possibility because it’s remote is playing with fire. It’s asking for a worst case scenario when the preventative measures are so very easy out of pure arrogant principle.

It’s not the women who are spreading the “man bad, amirite?” part. It was originally just meant to provoke thought, and the person who wrote the article wasn’t actually intending on spending time in the woods with a bear any time soon.

It’s always interesting how people take trying to provoke thought as “stir shit” thought. Really shows how desperate people are to get any kind of intelligent thought from people on the internet.

So which made up women have you been talking with? “These women” or your wife?

You’re conflating what you think argument is with what the article was actually about.

Almost like that was part of the original article.

It didn’t start with trolling, it started with an article trying to get people to think for once instead of just react.

It’s just people are dumb, so they thought it was trolling.

So self-delusion?

I would call it blown out of proportion when it was treated like an epidemic when it was little more than a few people who ever did it. Most just joked about it, and taunted the old fogeys who got bent out of shape about it.

You mean another fad that was blown out of proportion by one generation trying to prove the idiocy of another?

Even that would probably be pretty easy to come back from, comparitively.

You’d have to intentionally tank your credit score, burn all your bridges, probably even take up an addiction or two, to get anywhere near the same kind of experience.

Bonus points if you impose a familial burden. Having a child, or at least a bag of sugar you have to stuff several hundred dollars into once a week in lieu of personal expenditures to avoid putting an actual child through that stress, so your concern isn’t strictly for yourself.

Which isn’t to say I think they’d even get past the initial year you suggest. This guy couldn’t get past a year without that stipulation.

The tables were the first step, the second was getting a computer, the third was becoming a social media manager.

Basically he leveraged his prior experiences to put himself in an advantageous position.

It also talks about how he had auto-immune diseases. I wouldn’t be so sure the visits were for his father.

He also was an entrepreneur before he became homeless. It’s not like he completely forgot his entire life before he started the “experiment”. He had both skills and a history. I’m not so sure it’d be as possible for someone who’s been homeless for a while, or ended up homeless because of a wealth of problems both financial and psychological.

He is a literal temporarily embarrassed millionaire.
