Accidentally on Purpose

That is to say, there is a certain subset of gamerbro who interacts so rarely with real women, that his primary touchstone for how women look is fiction: often video games and anime. So when a video game woman looks too realistic--too close to having traits that one might find in real flesh and blood women--this is foreign to them. This is unattractive. They have been jacking it to hentai and blender animation porn for too many years, and have inadvertently conditioned themselves to only be sexually aroused by the exaggerated cartoonish traits of animated women.

Two years ago, we got this update on the life of this roachfucker:

Basically just put a bunch of rocks in a container (a shallow bird bath, a metal standing tray, a tupperware container, etc), fill it with as much water as you can while leaving the rocks partially exposed (so that there is dry surface for bugs to land on or climb onto if they get stuck), and keep it clean and refreshed with clean and cool water especially on hot days.

I use one of these filled with a mixture of rocks and glass pebbles for a very cheap bug bath that the birds also enjoy AND I put a chair next to it for the squirrels to get drinks (which they do!) You'll find a bunch by googling "metal table tray" and they're surprisingly sturdy once filled with water and if you push the legs into the ground a bit.

I also use a large but fairly shallow ceramic serving bowl as a ground bath, with less rocks, which is mainly enjoyed by frogs, toads, wasps, and whatever critters take drinks from it as they walk through my yard. I've seen beetles take breaks to swim around in it and today, as I was refilling, a wasp was hovering nearby and took a drink as soon as it was full. It left and then a ton more wasps came to get drinks.

And I have this one (not my photo) on my deck for the birds but they've never used it (not enough cover, I think) but the little frogs are removable and hollow and mine are FILLED with earwigs?? And the bees that enjoy my deck plants really enjoy the bath's water.

They have a Global Device Identifier (GDID) Tracker that functions as a fingerprint for your PC that can surpass VPNs, proxy servers and countries. Although it can't survive a clean reinstall of Windows (it can survive updates), because Microsoft forces you to go to the internet and log in into a Microsoft account, they will be able to get to you.

Microsoft kept it secret and it was only found out when the FBI tracked a hacker thanks to the information Microsoft gave them.

You should be paying attention to this, and possibly consider moving away from Windows. If a government, especially the US government, doesn't like you for some reason, this could be seriously concerning.

This article specifically notes:

For journalism, activism, or domestic abuse situations, skip Windows and use Linux routed through Tor instead of a commercial VPN. A GDID doesn’t care which VPN you use, only that it’s still the same Windows installation.

Other important quotes:

What has researchers uneasy is everything else the case reveals. Costin Raiu, a well-known malware researcher, asked on the Three Buddy Problem podcast how much of this exists on other platforms, and whether it is linked more permanently to hardware. Matthew Hickey, another security researcher, called Windows “surveillance software”.

Two things back that up:

There’s no consent screen. A GDID gets assigned when you sign into a Microsoft Account. Apple’s advertising identifier needs an App Tracking Transparency prompt and a visible reset; Android’s works the same way. GDID has neither, and a Windows reinstall only gets you a new number Microsoft can still get back to the same account.
