    Considering the little girl brought it in, it’s definitely more plausible she wouldn’t notice the magnet. And considering the amount of parents who give hamsters as pets and never take any responsibility over it themselves, even more so.

    But I’d also assume, with no real insight into the behavior of hamsters, that one in this situation would wind up either tearing it’s cheek off (depending on the strength of the magnet) or figuring out it can dislodge / move enough to free it.




  • I find no discouragement of strategy in the game. Higher numbers don’t always win, unless they’re sufficiently high enough. I can design a fleet with weapon and armor/shield focuses to counter theirs, as well as choosing the engagement style (via the combat computer modes in the ship designer) to counter theirs.

    If I don’t want to strategize I can simply wait longer for a bigger fleet and newer tech, but if I want to take on enemies larger than me, especially early game, I have to take the time to strategize.







  • I’m fairly certain I annoy the people at my bank because I always insist on calling them back at their official number if they ask for any personal information. I don’t fuck around with my bank security. I did however get got a couple of more years ago back when the chrome browser window phishing attack first started and had my Steam account stolen for a solid minute.

    That’s the attack where they simulate a browser window so what you think is a oauth popup is actually just inpage javascript and CSS.






  • The thing about morality is that it is subjective (granted there is some discourse on that whole topic).

    Whether it is immoral - there are societal groups that would consider it immoral. There are also ones who wouldn’t find anything wrong with it.

    IMO, what ultimately matters is your own morality, and past that, how those you care about would view it (their morality).

    Harmful is a whole other topic with a lot of facets though. That I can’t help with.



  • It really depends on the job. My 9-5 is hybrid, so 3 days in a week minimum, others can be remote. We have core hours, 10-4, where I should be available. So I can WFH and have something for 4PM, get back, and wrap up my last hour. But my boss is also very understanding, and if I need to be unavailable within core hours, he won’t force me to take PTO if I make up those hours.
