I would have put the Quickie before the Fin

It's an old code, but it checks out...

Not that I know of. Have a look at r/AmITheAsshole ;)

You're The Asshole

Not The Asshole

No Asshole Here

Everybody Sucks Here

Standard judgement calls on AITA (Am I The Asshole) subreddits, which the prompt emulates

And now, I feel dumb...

> I don't know if the ribbed actually make a difference for the girls

Have you tried asking? Consideration about the pleasure of your partner might be a welcome one

What's "PSHAW"?

I know YTA, NTA, NAH, and ESH, but that one escapes me...

The great firewall basically works in four different ways:

1. Completely blocks access to some platforms/IP (e.g., twitter, WhatsApp, Reddit, known TOR entry nodes, etc.)

2. Completely forbids some sort of traffic (e.g., VPN-like traffic)

3. Intercepts traffic to allowed platforms and applies keyword filtering

4. Huge moderation teams across state supported media platforms

Being able to hide traffic (e.g., special hidden TOR entry nodes whose traffic is designed to blend in with standard HTTP traffic) will allow users to bypass points 1 and 2. The physical transfer of storage as another user mentioned will also work to exfiltrate info.

Using euphemisms (Winnie the Pooh instead of Xi Jinping), non-text media (screenshots, photos and videos), will bypass point 3, at least until the moderator teams catches on.

Point 4 is trickier, but it's basically a race against the clock. Subversive content will be removed, but it might survive long enough to be saved and forwarded somewhere else.

None of this is secret... They are technical limitations (mostly), not really anything that can be done about it.

What I'm not sure is why point 4 is based on accept-by-default (i.e., they could block all publications until moderators reviewed it), but I guess it would put too much strains on the communication, instant messaging would become impossible, for example. So they have to live with it.

We don't. Bought one two weeks ago, just need to ask the pharmacist (OTC, not free service).

I'm not sure where you live, but not all countries require a prescription to buy EpiPen...

I dunno, I've never tried... Let me cool down some water to 25°C

> instead of 97 ("ninety-seven") they say four-twenty-and-seventeen.

Sorry, the french say 97, like the rest of the world. It's not that they don't have a word for 97. They don't write 4-20-17 instead of 97. And if you think French doesn't have a word for 97, then English doesn't either, since it's ninety seven, 90, 7. Beyond twenty (arguably, twelve), only the single digit multiples of 10s and powers of 10s beyond that have their own name in English.

So, yeah, the French say 97, it's just that the words they use can be transliterated to four twenty ten seven (also, if you want to mock a foreign language, get it right, if you think 97 should be split because of the way it is pronounced, 17 definitely should as well).

And English used base 20 as well in the past for it's number naming, see "four scores and seven years ago", that "scores", guess what, that means 20...

But none of these examples are really relevant to OP's question.

Ancient Babylonian system using a base-60 system, or hours on a clocks, using base 12 or 24 are probably better example. Because ultimately, the way a language names it's numbers is not really the same as to which base they're actually using when representing numbers.

I understood it as money as well and thought it was an interesting twist on death note.

I'd assume most people natural countdown is way beyond their lifespan
