That’s really impressive but has massive security implications.

the PDF file format supports Javascript with its own separate standard library. Modern browsers (Chromium, Firefox) implement this as part of their PDF engines.

This is something that really shouldn’t exist. I can’t imagine the legitimate uses for this outweigh the ways to abuse it.

Documents shouldn’t be allowed to run code. Ever.

Incidentally, anyone know which Firefox flag to set to disable running JS in PDFs entirely?

Why do that when you can just score a deal with the government to give them whatever information they want for sweet perks like foreign competitors getting banned?

Hopefully it also means animal testing isn’t actually that important and can be easily phased out for alternatives.

Would solve all of the operational problems inside the Inside Out brain-factory-thing.

Nothing’s stopping you. You won’t be missed.

If you’re only shoplifting small amounts I wouldn’t worry about cops either, for small amounts they’ll just ban you from the store, at least where I live idk about everywhere.

Beware. A lot of stores, namely large chain stores, are tracking people who shoplift with cameras and won’t press charges until you’ve cumulatively stolen enough for it to qualify as a serious offence with jail time and permanent criminal record.

It is how kids are

Hellll no. Have you seen how cruel kids are to each other in school? If you show any amount of weakness or insecurity or difference from the norm, everyone will gang up on you and make your life hell. There are literally cases of children being driven to suicide or developing mental illness due to bullying. Kids derive pleasure from making their peers feel inferior to them, much more so than adults. Kids are also some of the most intolerant, us-vs-them people, spread rumours because they think it’s fun to put down someone else, pretend to warm up to people they perceive as useful to themselves and throw them away as soon as their usefulness is depleated (copying homework is probably the most common example), threaten their friends with ostracism to make them fall in line, say horrible things to people they don’t know on the internet, exploit the ignorance of their peers to scam them (ever had someone try to convince you that a really rare trading card is actually a terrible one, and they’re being so kind to trade you for something better to take that bad card off your hands?), straight up steal stuff from their peers, etc etc. Nice kids are not a given, they are a small minority and their parents have to carefully mould those attributes into them. Kids left to their own devices with insufficient parental discipline are horrible, which implies that their default nature is one of selfishness and cruelty, not compassion.

That’s when they can’t think of any good arguments against you so they start gas lighting you and insinuating that you’re just cranky so your opinions aren’t valid

Testing medicines on humans is basically testing in production

Oh the person who deliberately stored Facebook 1.0’s passwords in plaintext so he could use them to log into his users’ other accounts and stalk them now cares about privacy all of a sudden?

“What is my purpose?”

“None. You don’t get executed ever because the very first thing I do upon getting a new computer is boot into UEFI and install Linux.”

Complaining about China or AI stealing jobs while under capitalism is like complaining about blood loss from stab wounds killing people while there’s a serial killer on the loose.

Bruh, mass deportions were LITERALLY THE FIRST STEP ON THE PLAN THE NAZIS HAD WRITTEN DOWN on how they would kill all the Jews.

Also, Einstein was offered a position as leader of the State of Israel. He basically said “fuck off and fuck Zionism.”

Nazis deserve exactly as much mercy and tolerance as they give to others.

I’m just waiting to die at this point. Fuck this life. Fuck this world. I’d kill myself if I wasn’t such a pussy. I keep living with the vague hope that things might get better, but deep down I already know it won’t.
