  • Yup. It’s why the scams by phone are so irritating to most of us, as another example. It’s just obvious and a time waster, but by making the scam easily visible to people who have the characteristics to not be vulnerable to them, it weeds out all the false positives the scammers would then have to deal with. They don’t want you, mr. bright eyed and bushy tailed, who is ready to catch them out only after hours of trying to get you to give them the code to your gift cards. That’s a lot of wasted time. They just want granny who will follow every direction.





  • I would bet most of the people spending energy on complaining about mozilla are doing so because they love it. They loved what it was about, what it was pushing for, and that it was ultimately a gigantic line drawn in the sand against the intrusion of corporate fuckery by google and their like.

    Thinking that people should just roll over and accept things becoming worse is such a weird fucking sentiment to espouse.





  • Hmm, just spitballing here, but what could you point to on an elephant that’s unique (and/or in the public thoughts of elephants)? Memory, size, trunks, large ears, grey skin, tusks, fear of mice, (name of them?) pachyderm?

    For memory - Because they’re the only animal that can remember how to score a strike?

    Trunks - Because their trunks have room to spare?

    Size - Because even the lions aren’t willing to tell them they crossed the line.

    Mice thing - Because they always beat the mice’s half ounce balls.

    Or maybe it’s something to do with bowling? Turkeys, lanes, (heavy/big balls), spares, lines, shoes…

    Shoes - Because they can finally borrow shoes that fit?

    Turkeys - Even elephants love getting turkeys?

    Spares - I dunno

    Because they take one sentence from the vet’s verbatim of the vestige of the information from the textbook/experience and only focus on that. Imagine the vet says about five paragraphs worth of information about the effects of obesity on cats, and has one line about “his blood panel doesn’t show anything outside of the normal range right now.” The owners focus on just what confirms their view.
