If you are talking about the people who don't believe you that you were born in 2008, that's just an aspect about the internet society we have to live with. A lot of people here only have a stereotypical idea of how people of a particular age-group (even their own) behave, especially in the internet. It's a little price for our anonymity that strangers won't accept that you behave outside of your stereotype.

Keep in mind that most of them don't mean you any harm. Predators that lure their victims with a younger age or otherwise problematic scammers are a big problem of the internet and people would rather wrongfully accuse you of that than letting such a scenario play out.

While personally I didn't feel suspicious of you or have no reason to care, when I think about it, I can see that people get irritated by a person who is often highlighting that they are 18. If you really are 18, you probably didn't even notice that and it's natural. But maybe you can imagine that from another perspective, it may look different.

This was asked a month ago and it turned out to be this post that links to https://hiring.cafe/. Is this perhaps the job site you are looking for, too?

It shouldn't matter in the first place though. Such a story can happen, because, to the surprise of the internet, women are humans and individuals. If a person falls victim to such a scenario, they were just a victim to one individual, not all women in the world, let alone all people in need of help in public.

This is one of the funniest LinkedIn Lunatics post, but as I'm looking up the "hype" around OpenClaw, I feel overwhelmed. Did mankind really make a gigantic leap forward towards the dead internet in such a short time?

To be honest, the majority of shower thoughts here are just thoughts, especially in the last few months. On the other hand, it is not precisely defined in the community description either ¯\(ツ)/¯

We should build a time machine (with the help of AI this should be easy) and plant AI before mankind! We can avoid mankind and prevent that so much energy gets unnecessarily wasted on humans!

Als Nicht-Englischsprachiger gebe ich euch die Übersetzung:

Wenn ich Seife gegessen hätte. Ich esse sie nicht, weil ich es getan habe. Nein, das habe ich nicht.

It is always possible that none of this is real, but then everything you know to be real and normal is from this fake reality. You have no way to identify a real anomaly. You still do exist and you do matter, because what you sense, think and live through is your reality.

I don't have hard rules and processes to filter and order my reading list. But I know my preferences, e.g.:

• older books (especially when it's an inspiration to another book on the list)
• availability of exact cover and edition that I want at an affordable price
• shorter books (and series)

But most of the time the choice what I'm reading next is not an active decision.

I'm in.

Let's go, another chapter of letting a small amount of AAA games dictate our perception of video game prices.

As a privacy enhancement even beyond hiding from ISPs, a VPN has value for the private person when they connect to a public Wi-Fi network and need protection from attackers.

The primary activity of a VPN, extending a private network over a public network, does not only have value for organizations, but for private people like you and me, too. E.g. you need remote access on your NAS with media or in general your devices without making them directly accessible from the internet.

But overall, it's difficult to give you a definite answer, because it really depends on where you are from. E.g. in most European countries even bypassing geo-blocking won't get you in trouble as they are regulating it within the EU in the first place, while on the other side in China most VPNs are prohibited in general.
