It doesn’t have one. I was making a joke.

• Hi = High
• Fanta = Fantasy
• Po = Post(-apocalypse)
• Dys = Dystopian
• Fut = Future

Hifantapodysfut = High-Fantasy-Post-Apocalypse-Dystopian-Future.

It’s in the title.

Yeah, I imagine the USPS would would have some concerns about transporting biological samples across international borders. Lol.

?

Hifantapodysfut.

Pronounced [haiːfæntʌpoʊdɪsfuːt].

I really like the term “Science Fantasy”. It acknowledges the parallels with Science Fiction but respects how they differ as well.

Same. I’d love to know any privacy-respecting companies…that is, if they even exist.

Goddammit!

Why won’t Nintendo just FUCK. OFF. with this crusade of theirs??!!

^{(And before anyone mentions it, yes, I’m aware as to why they don’t. The question was rhetorical.)}

I figured they meant that as well. I’m just saying their rules may not be as hard and fast as they seem to be presenting them.

Just concepts of a plan.

“Somehow.......Amazon returned.”

Agreed. Getting something second-hand is almost always better.

While I completely appreciate your perspective, I do have to ask: what with how interconnected, not to mention fucked up, the world is today, wouldn’t pretty much everything violate at least two or three of those rules?

IIRC Temu makes it business from super cheaply priced items.

Super cheaply priced generally means either super cheap quality or some really iffy labor rights violations* in third-world countries (I know that term isn’t the term to use nowadays since it’s a cold war relic but I can’t think of a better term—lemme know if you know of one), usually both.

*Up to and including slave labor. (Yay capitalism!)

Here’s hoping they stick to it.

I imagine a lot of people switch, see how hard it is (due to it not being how they’re used to things), and then go back.

And, as advised, watch for unusual activity (but forever, not just a few months, that’s just a false sense of security).

Alternatively, pay a service (one that’s actually reputable!!!*) to watch your shit for you. (Still keep an eye out, of course, but this at least takes a LOT of the load off.)

For example, I pay a 12.95 USD a month for a service provided by my credit union (way better than a bank) and I can input whatever information I want monitored. They do that and let me know as well if they detect any shit going down. They also give me an update email every month letting me know that something has changed (or, likewise, if nothing hasn’t changed :) ).

I started doing this way back in 2018 when my wallet (containing my ID, debit card, social security card, everything) was stolen. (Gods, that was a fucking nightmare.)  

*None of that LifeLock bullshit. AFAIK that’s just marketing fluff mainly. (Somebody correct me if I’m wrong on that.) In any case, I don’t trust any service that is provided by the same fucking company that owns Norton. shudder

Same.

Oh that is a SHAME.

DuckStation is such a wonderful piece of software too. :(

Thank you!

Thanks.

I…can’t tell if you’re serious or making a joke. Lol.
