    I want to believe there's a chance for a sort of collective immune system response, where too much grifting and "hustling" pushed on them at an early age makes enough of them push back against the overall messaging.

    I don't know about collective, but this did happen to me as a gen Z member. I was influenced a lot in my teens and realised it was all a lie in early twenties. Things like cryptocurrency and the concept of social media.

    Went to 4 different pharmacies, 2 of them enormous. Couldn't find any masks/respirators on the shelves. In each case I asked a store helper person. Only in the 4th one I went to did they have anything, and in that case there was only one type of product available - a disposable N95 respirator by 3M. They cost $5 each. How are you finding masks and affording to stay masked all the time? It seems really expensive...

    Experiences with Cyberpunk 2077?

    I've been generally hearing that it's good and been thinking about playing it. I'm not sure if it's my type of game or not. Was looking to hear about people's experiences and if you had any fun stories to share? I also have some questions: - I'm not comfortable with nudity or sex. Apparently this can be turned off in game. If you used this option, how effective is it? - How integral to the game is combat and looting? - I'm Autistic. If you're Autistic, do you feel that the game can accommodate Autistic players? (For example, I'd feel uncomfortable if the game forced me to take part in pointless social interactions like attending/talking to people at a party. I wouldn't know what to do in that situation and I would feel very stressed, and probably not do what I was "supposed to" in the game's rules.) - Have you played with any mods? Good mods? Bad mods? - Did you have a good time? Thank you so much! ![cyber-lenin](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/809e3dd1-1042-4a8e-a8a5-529f837cdc56.png "emoji cyber-lenin") ![trans-heart](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/aec9b839-d11e-4611-9263-60a84384ac89.png "emoji trans-heart")

    23andMe User Data Stolen in Targeted Attack on Ashkenazi Jews www.wired.com

    Summary: Genetic data from 23andMe users was stolen in a targeted attack. Hackers accessed user accounts by guessing passwords and then scraped profile information from relatives sharing features. They posted a sample claiming to contain 1 million Ashkenazi Jewish users and hundreds of thousands of Chinese users. The hackers are selling access to the profiles for $1-10 each. 23andMe says the leaked information is consistent with the attackers' claimed methods, but the company is still working to confirm whether the leak is real. The full picture of why the data was stolen, how much more the attackers have, and whether it is focused entirely on Ashkenazim is still unclear. Brett Callow, a field expert, says this incident highlights the privacy and security risks of DNA databases that store and share sensitive genetic information.

    Used Game Sales Increase 400% After Taylor Swift Seen Playing a Sega Game Gear hard-drive.net

    (Article text from Hard Drive, the world's most trusted insider source for video game information) **NEW YORK CITY —** A photograph taken by tabloid outlet TMZ which features Taylor Swift playing a Sega Game Gear, a portable gaming console from the 1990s, has caused major disruptions in the preowned gaming industry, sources have confirmed. “Busiest week of my life,” said Bert Grantham, owner of Bert’s Bits, a used gaming store in Brooklyn. “Lately, I’ve been struggling just to pay my bills, but Monday I come and open up, and all these girls in Taylor Swift shirts say they need Sega Game Gears, and they need them now. I sold out of games, accessories, damn near everything. These girls were so curious about video games all of the sudden, they were buying strategy guides to stuff they didn’t even have. Then all the ones who arrived after I sold out of Game Gears threatened to put me out of business.” The surge of new customers proved curious to established patrons of Bert’s Bits. “Doesn’t really make sense to me,” said Troy Agnew, a regular customer. “She’s on a tour bus all the time, plus now she has time to kill at her boyfriend’s football games. Every reason in the world to own a handheld console. Also, please remember that Taylor Swift can afford to get into whatever hobby she wants, even collecting retro video games. I think it’s cool if a bunch of Swifties get into gaming, but they’re just not able to have the same experience she is. Maybe at least download some emulators and see if you like it before you make it your whole thing, you know?” As of press time, Swift had announced her next stadium tour would be composed of “probably about half Sonic covers.”

    It's going to be so awesome getting to do my washing today and go outside for a nice walk and breathe in the fresh air. It's so fucked up that capitalism keeps me cooped up inside during all the daylight time. Even if we're stuck with capitalism they should totally change office hours should be changed to be in the evenings so that more people can enjoy the daytime. Maybe one day I'll stick a cardboard cutout at my desk and go off to a park. See if anyone notices.
