Seriously. Recognize a win when it's handed to you, people.

It's clearly a man pissing his name into the snow (in simplified Chinese)

They're really not that obnoxious. The folks getting their panties in wads about it are either fools, or astroturfers. You do you chief, and I for one support this. Folks get overly triggered about all sorts of stupid little shit, don't let them get you down. Someday soon a bunch of us will probably wish we did something like what you're doing.

Zefrank makes exactly the sort of content that's required to get bored kids interested in a science. He is doing us a public service.

Because when your scientific legalese is confidently wrong and then someone else tries to reference your paper for their research then you've just thrown an entire branch of science under the bus from faulty assumptions. And nobody knows what assumptions are faulty unless they start all over from the beginning.

That's how it worked on my old phone, you got a message notification but it cost you to actually read it. No clue if they sent the message content before the paywall or if it pulled it down afterward.

But it also meant you could use your phone basically as a beeper without paying for texts. Just see who sent you a message, ignore the actual message and call them.

You could ignore them and not recieve. But then you've got a billion pending messages that you don't know the content of.

It's a fun thing to talk about but everyone seems to forget that historically, that didn't actually end that well.

Eat the rich, yes, but you need to have a plan first for what comes after.

That word, I don't think it means what you think it means.

Never accused them of being smart...

We have. You can buy cheap-ass smartphones at Walmart, etc with ads baked into the OS. Lots of my folks are pretty broke living down in Louisiana and have them. If you need a phone cheap, say for example you can't afford a real phone and you're planning to sell some drugs, they're some of the cheapest usable phones you can get.

It is mediocre at best. However it remains one of my favorite games of all time. Weird how that goes.
