periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.

It's extremely funny that RFC 2964, the IETF's Best Current Practice on the use of cookies, lists exactly 2 things you shouldn't do with cookies, and they are literally the 2 most common things we do with cookies #security #networking #browsers

Why did we give up on "402 Payment Required"? Having it in the response code means you can do the whole financial transaction in one HTTP request. Isn't this better in many ways than all this bullshit with the goddamn cookies?

You know what I hate? These fuckin things
I just tie a few bags to the loop on the leash. Pros: (1) You can see how many bags you have (2) There's nothing for the bags to roll up and get stuck in(3) You never accidentally pull out 2 bags and have to try to shove the second bag back in the tiny hole
