yeah u freaks up north look and sound exactly like this when u pretend that us southern queers are perfectly complicit in our own eradication - for the heinous crime of not living in a liberal population center.

I love CDs because they’re old enough to not really be used anymore but recent enough where they’re not prized for a “”vintage feel”” like records are so I can buy like 5 CDs at the record store and spend the same amount of money I would’ve spent buying 1 record. Also they still have all the album art n shit too <333333

I think I found the perfect cd player and I'm trying to buy it but I CAN'T because I lost my debit card and didn't get around to replacing it and there's not enough room on my credit card because I kept the limit low so I wouldn't spend money and I've been using it for everything because I lost my debit card 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Edit** wait no I've got it!

Oh man. The way I'm so fucking sleepy. Like this chair got gravuty in it

my dad refuses to watch breaking bad and i asked him why once and he was like "i dont like how mean he is to his wife :("

i shouldn't be surprised because this is the same man who refused to be in the room when my brother and i watched zack and cody as kids because "zack doesn't respect women"

im glad yall think my 60 year old father is based I'll be sure to tell him that the gay people in my phone think he's cool

Nothing quite demonstrates the generation divide like how both me and my dad are/were MMORPG players, both of us play lizardfolk monks, but in his case in Everquest the Iksar were legit humanoid lizards whereas mine is an Au Ra kawaii uguu anime girl with a few patches of scales and horns

To add to this, back in his day you had to join a guild to do content and his was a bunch of well-paid engineers and lawyers, who he knew and worked with IRL, whereas I just queue up the roulette and do stuff with randoms and never talk to anybody

Got the old login credentials so I could make the comparison

Where I'm at mentally, emotionally, spiritually, is that I cried for a half hour because my neighbors cut down my summer fruiting raspberry bush. Somebody take me hiking or I'm going to die.

My favorite game exploits are shit like, "Passing out in stardew valley has a penalty of losing X% of your money, forcing you run back home and lose precious time in the mines. However, X% of 0 is 0. If you simply do not have any money, you will have no money to lose and can pass out in the mines as much as you like."

New Things to Beware on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.

What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.

I really want to reiterate how this can go wrong frequently and fast, folks.

A malicious actor sets up a page with an auto-downloader squatting on a domain name that matches a common zip file name like photos DOT zip. This website is set up to start an auto downloader upon being visited, downloading a zip file with the same name as the URL which contains malicious software (virus, worm, keylogger, etc).

Scenario.

Someone you know well sends you an email or text with promised photos attached. The email even reads something like this.

Because .zip is now a TLD, that plain text is automatically formatted into a link to malicious actor's website without them having to send you anything.

Folk with family with iPhones or iPads that are sent multiple photos in one go might be familiar with iCloud's tendency to automatically compile them into zip file for the sender and less savvy tech users have trouble NOT doing that.

These same less savvy users, or even just someone just not thinking in the moment, will click that .zip link, not realizing it isn't the the same as clicking on the promised attachment.

They download a file that matches the name they expected. They open it because they were expecting that file and it's from a trusted source. Except the file they downloaded isn't the one that was sent by their trusted source and now they have malware.

Another Scenario.

An IT person tries to send you an email with instructions on how to resolve a problem with a commonly used filename like install-repair DOT zip or to install new software like microsoft-office DOT zip.

The email may start with instructions of where to go get the legitimate file to do the install or repair, but now a line later in the instructions is also has a link to a .zip URL. A user, already frazzled by IT problems, may click it to ensure they have the right file. Again, they download malicious code from a squatting website or it prompts them with a fake login and now the squatting website has stolen their login credentials for a legitimate site. All due to an expected email from a trusted source.

Above you can see microsoft-office DOT zip is already out there with a fake Microsoft login screen waiting to steal your credentials.

These risks are already out there now because the TLD has been activated.

Plain text on old post are already being resolved into links to the new websites.

Here you can see a tweet from 2021, long before .zip was a domain name, now resolves that plan text into a clickable link. You'll start seeing this everywhere, and malicious actors do not have to lift a finger to send it to you.

Yes, a lot of users aren't going to click that, but a lot of folk will. Whomever is squatting on photos DOT zip domain name has made a one time payment to have access to anyone that ever sees that file name typed out.

In an example of an existing squatter site, clientdocs DOT zip is exactly one such pre-setup .zip domain name that initiates an automatic download. This one may be harmless, but the set ups are already out there and waiting to catch folk.

It's an unnecessary and risky can of worms that's been opened up.

Holy Unforced Errors, Batman.

I am always coming up with t shirt ideas but FUCK I've just outdone myself. I've just put myself out of the stupid t shirt game because THIS is my Magnum Opus. It is all downhill from here. And NO you don't get to know what it is. This post isn't ABOUT the t shirt, it's about my CAREER. IF ANYONE EVEN CARES.

TIL that there's a rock in Switzerland that got there during a lightning storm and the Swiss have just left it there for 470 years. It's a landmark now, everybody come see the rock that exploded out of a gunpowder factory in 1652

well life just isnt fucking fair is it humpback whale 85
