no idea who made this but I think of that random person with gratitude every time I heat up any sort of wraplike food object in the microwave

two scenes from an X-Men animated program: in the first, scott summers and jean gray are making out; he is labeled "microwave heat" and she is labeled "plate." in the second, we are more distant from the couple, and wolverine is standing in the foreground, labeled "my burrito."

Cracked a pack and got this, what do?

Did you know it's our 20th marathon? That's not a golden anniversary, but we couldn't change the colour of this card. Seems like like a little bit of an oversight, don't you think? And yes, we know this the twentieth annual marathon, but "only" the 19th year. Anyways, please join us at desertbus.org or twitch.tv/desertbus on October 23rd at 4PM, Pacific. We going to be raising a ton of money for Child's Play Charity. They're a really cool organization that helps children manage the stress and anxiety of being in a hospital through video games. Not specifically the game we'll be playing, which is pretty boring, but like, you know, good ones. They got probably a Zelda or Mario in there, I'd wager. Speaking of, this year's run is earlier this year mostly we could all play the Ocarina of Time Remake afterwards. Wow, for not letting us pick a colour, they certainly did let us cram a lot of text in this space. I wonder how small the font is at this point, and what the maximum length is. Don't worry, all this rambling is going in the alt text of this image. Hrm, kinda ran out of steam there at the end. I should go. See you in a couple weeks.

If you're like me and on iOS, and got locked out of 18+ servers, but you're classified as an adult, go into the discord web app and recheck the age restricted servers on iOS. Even if it's already checked, uncheck it and check it again. That should solve your issue. This whole thing is dumb as hell.

Tomorrow, Discord will place everyone into an age group using account signals. They claim 90% of users won't have to confirm their age. They are also introducing new verification methods if you do need to verify that you are an adult, including Credit Cards and App Stores.

More than 90% of you won’t be asked to confirm your age. Since our last post about teen safety, we've had to launch age assurance solutions in more places, including Texas and Brazil. Laws requiring age assurance are expanding around the world. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we’re launching our own privacy-preserving approach: one that reflects your feedback.
You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We've estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed or the kinds of servers you're a part of. We don’t look at your messages, calls, or other content. We're launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.
If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and participating in non-age-restricted servers, but with additional safety protections that block age-restricted content, spaces, and settings. Otherwise, Discord works the same. More on this below.
We've added several new ways to confirm your age, including some that don't require an ID or selfie (including credit cards). If you're an adult but weren't automatically placed in the adult age group, you can confirm your age group at any time by going to User Settings > Account Status. More on the new options below.

This is exactly why privacy advocates have pushed back against age verification measures. These companies are reckless with their data and it can easily be compromised. It can leave people vulnerable to identity theft, doxing, and targeted harassment.

Idk how much Canadian trade deals get media coverage south of the border, but I know it’s usually reported as “Canadians are mad at tariffs” and not “he keeps threatening to annex us”… So FYI the US wanted to stop Canada from making trade deals with other countries, that’s why Carney rejected it.
