  • It’s still missing the point. Of course you can just lie. Just like you can just lie on your tax returns or steal somebody’s wallet. “Getting caught” is the point, not “being able to do something”. The issue with the tech and the laws being in place is that suddenly lying there might become an offense. Imagine you’re in court for some other bullshit and they’re not just arguing that you falsified records (the age you lied about) to add some additional punishment but also might use this to attack your trustworthiness in general. Imagine them arguing that you can’t be trusted with computers because you lied there, so some old fart sentences you to five years without computers or smartphones and suddenly you lost the means to earn your money.




  • The damsel in distress trope is real here, too, which by itself is already dumb, but the woman is split up into three individuals that each reflect one piece of her personality, which turn out to be an asshole, an infant and another asshole.

    Also, her name is literally “Goal”.

    Like… Who the hell wrote this?







  • I’m so looking forward to it.

    Don’t forget to add a “package management” service that at first glance makes importing XMLlamascript modules super easy but at second glance takes down the Internet after you piss off a random maintainer before then turning into a malware distribution engine.


  • Then maybe you should go ahead and write a brutally messed up but somehow ubiquitous scripting language that just somehow has its object instanciations look exactly like xml so those files can be imported right into scripts that then somehow turn into full blown server applications so xml gets the same attention as Json.
