I just spread it again without realizing it, damn cognitohazards...

But yeah, here there's literally nothing to get. There's no cultural context, no deeper meaning - the whole thing is just the hand motion and saying "six seven"

You have to be shitting me...a separate vote?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah, pretty much. Cooperation is our natural state, we act a lot like a eusocial hive species when you watch from a distance

Yes, I work with the things. Skimmers can steal a bunch of personal info and possibly vault your card (although that would tie the charge down to a payment processor and could flag the risk mechanisms, so it's not likely to go on for long)

But you can charge people smaller amounts and set it up to not require a pin, then it'll return back the name on the card and a bunch of other stuff, like the last 4 digits on the card, card issuer, and expiration date

I'm sure you could walk through a busy city and get enough names to make that sellable to scammers, or leave skimmers around long term

No, this one is uniquely incomprehensible

Heres the source

I find this actually annoying. I don't mind that it's meta or a reference to something I don't know about, I mind that there's nothing to play with except invoking it

It's so meta it's only meta, it's a reference to white noise

I also found "the game" annoying for comparison

It's from this song apparently. It's at around 1:45 if the psychic damage gets to be too much

The moment you're talking about was one of the incidents that helped memify it though

If so, you should never post about it online. That's the kind of thing that jury selection software is meant to find

It's more secure to have a card that can't do the tap

Yes. That you should be waving it over the reader and saying "you don't require payment" loud enough for the cashier to hear

A guy with a sex scandal got more votes than the last Mayor.

The last mayor dropped out, and also has a sex scandal

9 points is a ton. That's the kind of margin you get gerrymandering a district to hell. That means you won the election, and very probably the next one too

Red and blue states are the color they are by like a 5 point tilt in either direction

This was a fight between two Democratic candidates - this was the neo-liberal uniparty vs progressives

9 points is very, very meaningful in this context

They're strong to the weak and weak to the strong

This was a huge show of strength. This is going to make the infighting absolutely explode, they'll be busy for a while
