Iirc the original game was wave-defence. I remember hearing about it in 2012 ages ago, but they axed it soon after they released the battle royale

Really though people just don't understand the point of 2FA. There is 0 other way to verify identity. Just use a burner number if you're so paranoid sheesh lol

What? No, that's the whole point of 2FA. There is literally no other way to verify authorization otherwise because it's by-default incapable of verifying identity.

Knowing the previous password doesn't help because those are often found in password dumps.

This is true of any email service.

As someone who works in software dev, QA is a godsend to developers. Thank you for your sacrifice lol

You are correct. It would be heinously expensive to "remove" training data. Even training a very rudimentary model can take hours on a high-end tensor processor.

The crime thing is just a talking point that people throw around, and is demonstrably untrue. There's no conclusive evidence to suggest that either red or blue states have higher crime rates: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/12/newsoms-claim-that-trump-states-have-highest-murder-rates/

As far as taxes go, at least we have decent infrastructure and social services compared to a lot of red states. Rent sucks but hey that's what happens if you want to live in a highly desirable city

I would but it's mainly children we're talking about preventing from going down the cis male -> alt-right pipeline here. Not random chucklefucks on Twitter

I'm sorry but is giving a shit about other people a political concern? Jesus Christ that's a hot take. Good luck with that

That's a really disappointing viewpoint to have. These are people, and while a lot of the existing ones who have already fallen for the alt-right rhetoric may be too far gone, we should still take steps to make sure more young men don't also fall into that trap. Which includes being more supportive and inclusive regarding men's issues.

I mean that's great and all, except these people that you've consigned to the dustbin of history are now going to actively fight against your causes.

I think that some of them are too far gone but really this toxic environment needs to be fixed or else worse things will come from it. When you say "they should be ignored", that's part of the environment that causes these men to become the next shooter, or maybe just jump off a bridge because they have a conscience.

Whether you like it or not, you need these people to make the right choices, and part of that starts by fostering a more inclusive environment.

Also you have to actually be independent to claim yourself as independent... have you actually gone through that process? You have to literally provide proof that your parents either A) could not help fund your education or B) are estranged or dead, and also have to sign an affidavit.
