the OG one would be the Doomsday Clock

The Doomsday Clock is a design that warns the public about how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making. It is a metaphor, a reminder of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet.

When the Doomsday Clock was created in 1947, the greatest danger to humanity came from nuclear weapons, in particular from the prospect that the United States and the Soviet Union were headed for a nuclear arms race. The *Bulletin *considered possible catastrophic disruptions from climate change in its hand-setting deliberations for the first time in 2007.

egg_irl did in fact begin the process for me, like 8 years ago. Have the appt to get estrogen this week!

It was quite a surprise to learn that everybody doesn’t fantasize about being a girl at least a little!

framing is important though. Nobody considers a cocktail ‘diluted’ even if that’s technically applicable, the resultant mixture usually improves the beverage.

i dunno how to make it any clearer sorry

not true (in the us i dunno how other countries go), the license is printed for you after you are granted the privilege so you can show it has been granted. The license itself possesses no power it’s what the DMV database says that’s important.

That’s why cops take your license back to their car to ‘run your license’ that means look up your status in the database to see if you’re actually licensed currently and if there are any warrants out for you!

You are conflating the license itself with the privilege to drive. The answer is you can suspend the driving privilege regardless of the current or past drivers license issuance. This would prevent any new license from being issued even if they were otherwise eligible. Happens if you get caught driving before you pass your driving test all the time.

this article about modern fishing blew my mind. There are ships that stay out there for YEARS fishing around the clock and then they send out other boats to unload and ferry the catch to shore. People end up in slavery on these ships with no way to escape, it’s wild.

literally ran a basic wardialer in my area code and had guest access to multiple government systems. I felt like matthew broderick would have been so proud.

I never got anywhere but it freaked my parents out they were not proud like i had been expecting at all.

Never actually messed around with anything besides figuring out the no password guess accounts so not really thrilling but it was super easy to get access.

Also when email was first a thing you could just telnet to port 25 on a server and write raw SMTP messages and most servers would just accept them. You would say yes this message is coming from god@heaven.com and it would say sure thing!

when I was a child and didn’t have to pay bills I would lie in the bathtub with a washcloth over my face to protect my eyes with the drain open and just lay there in the warm shower until i used up all the water in the heater.

It’s such a nice feeling to just lie there and be gently pattered by warm water
