What in the hot fresh kentucky fried fuck is this? To get a 10% off coupon, they want me to agree to robocalls and binding arbitration?
A dialogue box from the Supply Co razors website titled "Finish signing up for texts to activate 10% off." In fine print, it says "By providing your number and clicking the button you agree to receive recurring auto-dialed marketing SMS (including cart reminders; AI content; artificial or prerecorded voices) and our Terms of Service (including arbitration).

A photo of Antelope Canyon. The photographer is inside a deep canyon comprised of wavy orange sandstone. Sunlight bounces around the corner, providing a warm glow.

Apparently reCAPTCHA is rolling out this thing where they want to link your mobile device to your browser for verification? This is just incredible entitlement on their part, and it's a horrible idea for privacy. PSA: You can click the eye icon at the bottom […] [Original post on defcon.social]
A reCAPTCHA verification box with a blue header that says "Scan to Verify You're Human." 

The body text says "Scan this QR code with your mobile device to verify you are human. reCAPTCHA protects your privacy and does not share your details with this website or app." At the bottom, there are four icons: a refresh symbol, headphones, an eye, and the letter i in a circle.

Beautiful sticker seen at Yama Sushi & Izakaya in Portland
A sticker with a blue header stating “NO RACISM within 10 feet.” The body text says “Please dispose of prejudice and discrimination in the trash heap of history. Section 35 of the Oregon Constitution made racism the law of this land until it was invalidated by the 14th amendment in 1868. It was repealed in 1925, and finally removed by Measure 14 in 2002. We must now recognize our racist past, oppose ideological and systemic racism, and actively support racial justice and equality for all. Get with the program or please hop in a Time Machine back to 1868. For complaints: 1-760-706-7425. Want to quit? AntiRacism Club | UniteOregon.org | OregonHumanities.org #RacismFreeOregon - By 10 feet we actually mean any distance, anywhere.”

My security torx 6 bit the dust while disassembling my pocketknife a few days ago. That’s what I get for buying such a cheap set. I suspect this set is old enough that it’s from Amazon, and I resolved not to support them more than 4 years ago. Steel is clearly […] [Original post on defcon.social]
A hand holding a broken security Torx 6 screwdriver bit. The tip is broken off, and rests on a finger. The other side of the bit is mangled.

@MissConstrue I can reblog regularly but not quote reblog. Here’s a screenshot. I like to quote reblog to add CWs to posts that don’t have them.
A screenshot of a mastodon thread from the Ice Cubes app. MissConstrue says “I’m sorry, disabled what now?” in the first post. The second post is obscured by the reblog dialogue that shows a grayed out quote button saying “you are not allowed to quote this post.”
