If this won't make Gab users leave this platform, I don't know what will. I mean, they have already gave their data to Goolag reCRAPTCHA, and of course, the developers won't bother with fixes (clear net only). It looks like Goolag reCRAPTCHA isn't there, but I might be wrong. Gab is also Clownflared, which is a privacy issue (clear net only), so even if the privacy policy (clear net only) said anything about storing user data, Clownflare will store it anyway.

So, I never received an email from Gab nor does their website disclose a hack.
If private data was comprised, then fuck Gab for failing to notify users of this breech.
Also, the title is just copied from the article. Anytime i've logged in its just Bible quotes and Trump clips. If thats "far right" then, well, I don't know.

You would be very suprised how some people aren't very safe when purchasing such goods. Especially if they aren't very technical or want to learn about TOR.
If Brave offers it some people will opt to use it thinking it's 'safe'.

How far down can you go the list? It's supposed to got all the way down to the 1920s, but most people will run out of movies they know earlier.

Hm... maybe it helps to know that the list only goes down to the 1920s, so you already got half the set. Also, I'm interested in how people would answer this with incomplete information, so not having enough data points is so that everyone's answers can be different. Just go with the first thing that comes to mind.

You said:

I ignored that and went with SciFi, haha.

Not enough data points.
And I am a person who subscribed to five different filmmaking,cinematographer,producer,SFX magazines and a few exotic underground film quarterlies for 25 years.
I looked for letters , vowel patterns, us soil release date months, box office takes, runtimes, amount of CGI, etc.
Not enough datapoints for me. And as a logician, i disregard 1960s and 1960s as possible empty sets in the above puzzle, and possible red herrings, though in most IQ oriented test corpus questions, the blanks are meant to not be null sets (WISC-R Full Scale, WISC-IV extended, Stanford-Binet, WPPSI-III, etc). Null sets as part of a puzzle are not considered valid in a open ended answer, and only used in multiple choice answers.

Interesting choices. Which was the common thread you saw that led you to them?

I don't know how I would complete this, but let's see how GPT-2 would:
1970s — Star Wars
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Star Wars
1966 — Star Wars
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
...not what I expected, really. Maybe GPT-3 would do better, but come on, I don't want to join the private beta just for this.

Mostly to get attention. There are maid restaurants, but the girls working there will only wear the dress inside. The girls wearing stuff like that outside are most likely doing cosplay. Which means to dress up as someone and maybe have strangers take pictures of you.

You can have that future and I'll take my future without the bloat that is systemd. It's the Linux way. Everyone can do what they want.

Reply to My concert list from usenet : I love the fast Hatsune Miku songs like "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku", but its only played outside Japan, because its too fast for the Japanese as proven in all concert footage. by smartypants
Wow, interesting. While it's not my favorite Vocaloid song, I quite like it. Hopefully they'll play it in Japan some day.

DON'T PANIC
systemd-less OS is possible. One such example is Alpine Linux. I would even recommend going one step further and learn about daemontools (made by DJB) and in turn to have a look at runsvdir which is part of busybox and is kind of reimplementation of the original idea.
Once you get to live systemd-less, you will realize how easy it is to tame any distro. Even Debian or Ubuntu work very nicely without systemd.
Bock to the roots! All the best!

Yes. The reason I switched to Arch many years ago was to get rid of all that wrappers of wrappers which are used in Debian since long time ago.
Read man pacman and that is the most Arch that can run into your way (not counting systemd, which is not Arch's fault, but the fact they switched to it in 2012 was their decision — so some have switched from Arch as well).

girls might WORK in theme restaurants , if her face is older looking, but in Harajuku, Tokyo, dressing up and visiting Harajuku, Tokyo from hours away is a big deal on weekends for teenage girls.
Harajuku, Tokyo, especially near Jingu Bridge, especially on a Sunday

Cosplayers are people who dress up as anime, manga and cartoon characters, in specific dresses or as members of popular bands. Lolita fashion is also popular in Harajuku, ranging from a wide range of genres including gothic lolita, fairy lolita, punk lolita, and the classic lolita

Reply to comment by spc50 in Judge in Google case disturbed that 'incognito' users are tracked by Rambler
Court's own website is bugged with Google tracking bullshit.
In 2015 it was fashionable, because Google also gave your site a slight bump in searches on google lookup priority.
In 2021 its retarded to use Google tracking bullshit.
On my most important sites I lifted from bottom 200 to NUMBER ONE SEARCH ENGINE GOOGLE RESULT (meat space retail), I did NOT use any google web track bugs, just lots and lots of various normal SEO tricks, many of my own design.
The best part? I bragged I could bring the bottom 200 site to the top 10, and after one year and number one spot, the manager called me and complained his phones never ever stop ringing from people all over the world calling him, and is there any way I could make only people from his state or county call him!
HAH!
No need to use google web tracking to uplift a retail web site from bottom 200 to number one search result. NO NEED FOR GOOGLE SPY BUGS
If that court page used a paid web designer in 2014... 80% likely they would have got a google tracker slapped on it so the web designer could study his results.
Everyone should rip out google.

Everything is pretty much a cost-benefit ratio....in this case, convenience vs inconvenience. I have no problem logging into sites in order to maintain a cookie-free PC. Well, so far as I can make it cookie-free. There is only so much Self-Destructing Cookies, BleachBit, and CCleaner will do.

Reply to comment by Wahaha in Which browsers can you trust enough to use? by Wahaha
As said, I've been using XP Pro for three years now, and hence relegated to using Mypal, Centaury and Firefox 52.9.0 browsers. As both the OS is long ago EOL/EOS, and the browsers are equally outdated, I'm not impressed with that malarkey.
