Not sure if many know, but considering it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this might just feel fitting.

If you ever come across a website that does a CloudFlare security prompt, and it asks you to "copy" something - DON'T. This is an attempt to get you to run malware. It's becoming more common.

We only rate dogs. This is very clearly a red panda. We've had just about enough of your tomfoolery. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (IG: __joyjoa)

a front-facing selfie of a small creature that looks identical to a red panda (though to an untrained eye one could mistake them for a pomeranian with red panda coloring). the fluffball is backlit by sunlight, and there is a tree with yellow leaves in the background.

I just had my first downtime in Draw Steel : The Delian Tomb and it went amazingly. 3/4 of my players did community service, and the fury crit on the project roll, getting it all done in one session. They all did backbreaking farm work, and gained a lot of renown.

Some content like that I think is genuinely harming people's brain development like AI slop garbage. Getting rid of all critical thinking. But that doesn't you also dont need to like only read philosophy textbooks. Generally I recommend people should enjoy many kinds of media from different sources.
