[12:23:25] login updog: seems they've understood the wisdom of not having a publicly scrapeable site

[12:23:36] login especially one that is not that good

[12:26:16] login just found something interesting

[12:26:19] login on https://barackobama.medium.com/our-statements-on-the-u-s-supreme-courts-decision-to-overturn-affirmative-action-2e161f52b5d1

[12:26:45] login if you look at the links President Obama has presented, the last two links are 'outlook safelinks'

[12:37:24] login yes, Gentoo

[12:37:39] login i had forgotten about scribe.rip

[12:38:28] login the outlook safelinks reveal an email address of an obama office member

[12:38:43] login mhailemeskel@obamaoffice44.org

[12:40:53] login i'm sure i'm not the only one who would have noticed

[12:41:08] login and out of the thousands who have noticed, maybe 2 or 3 will have sent that person an email telling them about it

[12:41:12] login so they can go and fix the link

[12:41:46] login also depends on their bureaucracy around changing a post post-publication (will it change the edit date, for example)

[12:42:19] login yeah, but it revealed that person's email

[12:42:34] login and obama's email domain: obamaoffice44.org

[12:42:52] login ^ i'm sure it's possible to tell from DNS that it is, but still

[12:43:33] login i.e., someone emailed that obama staffer a link in their outlook, and they copied and pasted that into the article

[12:43:46] login even though the article looks a lot like obama himself wrote it - it's breaking the fourth wall

[12:44:12] login I have other things i found too, re:medium and its co-founder evan williams

[12:44:26] login well, one other thing

[12:44:53] login not worth caring about, unless someone is doing a 'psychological analysis' of him

[12:45:05] login no, just an old version of a post he made on his wife's anniversary

[12:45:12] login where he bragged about stalking her, essentially

[12:45:33] login then surreptitiously had edited to remove that stuff, but the waybackmachine caught the old version too

[12:45:51] login so you can see the two side by side and 'peer into his psyche'

[12:45:53] login *peek

[12:46:00] login peer works too

[12:46:42] login not obama, but evan williams

[12:46:49] login obama's is a simple cybersecurity mistake

[12:47:52] login nothing, other than that he was okay writing about being creepy in his pursuit of his future wife

[12:48:27] login and regarding the obama staffer, msft edge by default changes URL pastes into 'heading' pastes

[12:48:53] login but he wrote about it, then removed it very surreptitiously

[12:49:02] login you can even see the timing of removal

[12:49:09] login and now, any medium articles can't be wayback'd

[12:49:20] login it was 2015 when he wrote it, and i think 2017 when it was fixed

[12:49:35] login yeah, a small data point on the evolution of free speech on the internet

[12:52:20] login logout: i'm terrible

[12:52:47] login it's not that i found it creepy (or not creepy), it's that he realised he was being creepy 2 years later

[12:53:32] login yeah

[12:53:45] login or understood he can't reveal it - hard to tell which

[12:53:51] login Kowal: it did work

[12:54:39] login he was going to look up the person he just saw and had a 'love at first sight' moment looking at, in the employee directory to find her

[12:54:59] login they were both google employees, and this was after blogger got acquired by google

[12:55:27] login then why'd he remove it ;)

[12:55:36] login quora is just the plural form of quorum

[12:55:54] login yes, logout, correct

[12:56:29] login but it does feel creepy if you find out someone you never saw has been obsessing over you

[12:57:03] login it's not sad that he removed it either, it's still on the waybackmachine

[12:57:17] login logout: you should see how uncomfortable small celebrities get when you ask them about their stans

[12:57:44] login true, it comes with the territory

[12:58:13] login just shows how much variation there is in people's mentalities

[12:58:28] login also an analogy for 'AI alignment'

[12:58:39] login even humans can't align

[12:58:46] login we have to put so many of them in jail etc.

[12:59:22] login that, i think, was the purpose of religion

[12:59:43] login an idea to align people and get them to respect certain tenets

[12:59:58] login what are programmings of the unconscious?

[13:00:33] login oh yeah, rules like, when you see a table and chair, you sit on the chair (not the table)

[13:01:06] login civilised would be a more palatable term for that

[13:01:32] login then how shall you communicate?

[13:01:36] login hello deadly

[13:01:50] login ComputerTech, Dr_DICK: hello

[13:02:05] login and yournamehere

[13:02:38] login a cunt accepts dicks

[13:05:56] login was the vein vs vain on purpose?

[13:07:21] login what is a mars bar iream?

[13:08:20] login depends on their temperament

[13:08:36] login regarding making fun of wheel chairs in the presence of someone in a wheel chair

[13:08:55] login they are a funny little contraption

[13:10:58] login it is seen as punching down

[13:11:25] login to signal that others shouldn't fuck with him

[13:12:21] login that might encourage others

[13:12:35] login 18-year-old logout has had cocaine? bad work there

[13:12:51] login though who am i to judge other adults' choices

[13:13:21] login i don't know if i have adhd or not, but i do know i have something

[13:13:34] login i think it's mild, but i have no idea what the terminology for it is

[13:14:01] login see you later, d3adly

[13:14:03] login !bang

[13:14:47] login is it attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or maybe bipolar

[13:14:49] login i have no idea

[13:15:04] login i think it's just that i don't look at people's faces while speaking to them, yeah

[13:15:20] login eye contact problems, can't speak smoothly while also looking at people's reactions

[13:15:29] login yeah, socially retarted would be a good way to describ eit

[13:15:35] login or emotionally immature

[13:16:07] login if i saw their facial expression change, i'd just freeze instead of being able to turn the conversation around

[13:16:27] login i don't come across as approachable or friendly either, i think

[13:16:41] login don't really know how i'd feel if someone just like me were to approach me

[13:17:28] login true

[13:17:44] login i just don't know how i come across to people

[13:17:55] login i have to intellectualise it

[13:18:26] login it's affected me in real life, opportunities and such

[13:18:43] login comes across as uncaring, selfishness, or psychopathy

[13:19:23] login neither can i

[13:19:30] login might just be mild asperger's syndrome lol

[13:20:38] login is that your natural male instinct?

[13:20:54] login wanting to bang bang bang

[13:22:14] login no

[13:22:41] login i haven't revealed my gender here

[13:22:48] login though most have guessed by now

[13:23:37] login it changes things

[13:24:13] login talk to someone of the opposite gender, they may tell you if they're being honest with you

[13:36:32] login logout: yeah, i've been told that. just saying that wanting to bang-bang-bang may be gender-dependent

[13:37:13] login how can you tell, without being both?

[13:37:38] login i can't either

[13:38:20] login but that's sexual orientation, Ahsoka

[14:21:38] login face shave or everything?

[15:29:54] login where do you usually place them, dabs?

[15:30:29] login not near the door in a bowl?

[15:31:37] login could be near the night stand

[15:31:54] login or, maybe you did something else the last time you came home... groceries perhaps?

[15:32:09] login could be in the kitchen, in the fridge

[15:32:19] login yeah, could have been left in the car, unless the house keys are on the same ring

[15:32:40] login yeah, could be in the pocket or handbag too

[15:33:10] login nobody would put their keys there

[15:33:34] login imagine the cold metal touching your chest, it would be awful

[15:34:17] login very good advice

[15:35:02] login can one put that into a keyring?

[15:35:58] login lol, but the enclosure doesn't change size

[16:08:19] login i am starting to think sheep herding might be useful

[16:22:46] login this is: '<Ahsoka> Smell ya later'

[16:23:17] login CAT boots?

[16:30:17] login in safe hands

[16:32:36] login chinese company

[16:33:07] login but the Sweden-Russia-China-Netherlands nexus is good

[16:33:59] login a distinction that is a difference

[16:35:00] login you have to pay a lot of money for normal news

[16:35:26] login lol, talking around me, i can take a hint

[17:11:01] login is it the zebra-stripe style or the thick black bar type?

[17:28:21] login CT, would you be open to buying a product from tenga that lets you see your own sperm?

[17:28:59] login the device has a small lens, and coupled with your phone camera, zooms in enough into the sample (inserted by you into the purely passive device) to be able to see actually wiggling sperm

[17:30:10] login you'd be able to see individual spermatozoids

[17:30:17] login *spermatozoa

[17:33:33] login hello h4

[17:33:40] login are you happy to see me?

[19:36:00] login goimg afk for a while o/

[19:37:27] login sarcasm is harder over the net

[19:38:05] login alright, afk for real this time
