could you counterattack the ransomware operators by setting up an untold number of sacrificial VMs loaded up with filler files and then infecting them all? at the very least it would bog down their “negotiations” website, which seems to generate a specific ID for each compromised system.

Then should we just stop using 1st person pronouns altogether?

are you kidding me? can you only think in absolutes? stop wasting both of our time.

saying “i don’t want/like this” is not “absolutely insisting constantly” and if that’s SERIOUSLY the best you have for examples i think you know exactly what i mean.

it costs you nothing to not be an asshole, you’re going through a lot of effort seemingly just to make someone feel bad.

ooh i didn’t even realize there was a difference. you’re right, it is terribly confusing hahaha
