Wouldn't a better idea be to write an extension that just pretends a bogus card number was accepted for multiple sites?

Humanity is really going for that Darwin award.
This is really sad, but one has to wonder if it's actually prevalent enough to warrant news or the typical "everyone panic the youth are doing blank" when someone just said something on the internet once.
Another site allows users to pretend they are taking a smoke break with other people without actually smoking or physically being around anyone. The site displays an image of a cigarette, a "start" button, and messages from other logged-in users, creating the feeling of an online break room.
That's kind of neat actually, but nothing that didn't already exist on AOL in the 90s
We’re kind of doing it right now actually! How about that weather today huh?
Not too bad. What really gets to me is the humidity.
Ugh, tell me about it. My work is so humid that I wouldn't be surprised about clouds forming indoors.
One person made an app for their weird thing. Sound the alarm bells, the younger generation is doomed
Time is a circle
Ooh "doing blank" is the perfect slang term for this activity.
"I just spent my whole paycheck on rent and electricity. Next one is car note and groceries. Imma hit some blank for a while so I can get to sleep."
Why do you think a popular genre of games these days are life Sim stuff that gets weirdly mundane.
People want to be able to build computers or drive a truck or a train or clean a pool but dont want to not be paid a livable wage to do so. So nw we all make believe.
Just can't seem to get the real world in line so now its just all pretend. Thats the part that sucks.
Real work in real life for shit wages? 🖐️🙂↔️
Fake work in a video game for thousands of dollars a month fron Patreon and Twitch donators? ☝️🙂↕️
Reminds me of this meme app
i tried to use instagram a couple of times, and it felt exactly like that every time
Where's the humor? This is bleak as fuck.
People are saying it's bleak but at least people aren't buying random crap they don't need
Side note: you can acquire as much shop-amine and buy as much random crap as you want if you buy everything used!
If it ever progresses beyond the concept stage, justbuynothing.com might include a clearance section, rewards, and games for earning fake money. Users can try it now by activating developer mode in Chrome.
That's not suspicious at all. Am I missing something?
