There is an advent calendar with tiny ones but it is way too expensive from resellers. I have some (not much) self control

The ones that have an actual human behind them to be entertaining will probably get through. As long as they're not using a VPN known to be commonly used by spammers. Our captcha is laughably outdated. Most of the work is done by ip lists now.

And AI gets around captcha now anyway.
Yet those damned “click on all the pictures of stairs” always seem to fail on me

The puzzles sure, but modern captchas do more subtle things like watch your mouse movements when you go to click things. It has to have just the right amount of inconsistency and meandering for it to judge you to be a human, instead of moving in an exact straight line at a constant or instant speed, for example.
All the "select all pictures" stuff is just getting you to train their AI models for free.
Is this one of those Christian Bale Batman things? Where GasBandit is who you really are, and that other guy is just who you are in public?

The bad news: It was finally decided among my higher-ups and me today that my newest hot female subordinate is not working out and we're not going to renew her contract. She's a hard worker, she's obviously eager to learn and do her best, but in the 6 months or so she's been here she's handed in one substandard translation after another, so it's become clear that she just doesn't have what it takes. So it's a shame, but we can't keep her on.
The good news: An even hotter person just submitted her application today, on the very same day!

I fucking hate that the loss of Blockbuster also meant there is no place to rent video games anymore. We had a few independent places that hung on for a while but they too went up shortly after.
I tried a few of the online mail rentals and they sucked. Redbox was around up here for a bit but they fled as well.
Lots of console games don't come with activation codes that would prohibit this.
Many of the games that don’t use codes instead require you to create/add the game to your account, log the hardware ID if your device, demand an always-online connection, etc. Sure, not EVERY game does these things, but enough do that game rental at Blockbuster would’ve been killed.

I check out PS5 and Switch games from the library for my kids. It isn't a huge selection (mostly sports games) but it is something.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a gem on Apple Arcade lol.

My new MacBook should be able to run these, but I have to be good until my studying is done.
I think the Frankenfurter outfit might be a bit much, but if you want to go hiking in those heels, have at it!
I have never seen Rocky Horror.
