Anyone remember the 2005 TV feature Supervolcano?

I loved it when it came out, still relevent today - perhaps the Threads of the geology field. Great way to burn off almost two hours if you ever get bored.

Pokémon Club! I went with my kids ages ago, and I’m the only one that habitually goes now.

Half the group are below 5-20, the other half are 20 and above - and it’s an absolute riot. I’ve made some decent friends, taken Pokémon Go raid bosses that I’d never have been able to take in a rural area normally, and the adult-only raid walks are just a good excuse to chat bollocks. I’m not really in to the TCG side of things, but even the people who I don’t have much in common with are awesome for type and counter knowledge.

I’m not even big into the Pokémon series, it’s just an excuse to talk shite for an hour and rinse some XP.

Taking the #1 (or whatever number) ranked word would make for a good alternative to AskOuija or something.

I wondered why “die” was so common, until I realised we have a lot of Deutsch compadres too!

It’s whatever floats your boat at the end of the day. I’ve seen people with unique usernames being super chill in one community, and then appear in another spouting off like they’re two steps away from annexing Poland in another. It’s wild.

I do my absolute best not to block people or communities though. I worry that my account will just end up as an echo chamber for whatever I’m interested in, and I’ll just end up disconnected from the Real World™️, as tempting as it sounds sometimes.

Sometimes seeing and hearing shit that wasn’t top of your agenda keeps you grounded - but it’s an entirely subjective view.

e: community clarity.

I suspect the answer lies in paragraph 4, where I’m making the assumption that the scammers make contact directly with the buyers, and invite a payment to be made to the scammers rather than the brokers.

I suppose in a strictly legal sense, the brokers are off the hook then as they’ve no idea the scammers have asked the buyers to send a payment.

It’s scummy as fuck all round.

Man I miss Eudora back in the day. I used the mail client in SeaMonkey before I just started using my phone to check mail.

The 90s and 2000s were a simpler time.

I’m just freestyling here and I’m sure someone with a professional experience or academic background in psychology can tear it up for arsepaper, but I wonder if it’s an innate fear?

Like the uncanny valley with autonomous human-style robots or how AI generated pictures of faces are sending primitive recognition patterns haywire, I wonder if covering up half of the visual cues to recognise someone as friend or foe provokes an in-built negative reaction?

I mean, it’s not rational, but then chucklefucks who complain about it don’t do rational even if it’s in their interest.
