I love bg3 and it's a great game but it's also a perfect case study in why maintaining some distance between fandoms and creators is a good idea.

I need everyone to understand the potential of a The Darjeeling Limited inspired aftg AU where Neil, Aaron and Jean go on an extended roadtrip and bond over their individual existential crises

Like maybe Neil suggests the idea as a way to cope with his loneliness and potentially strained relationship with Andrew after his graduation, and he invites Jean because he's recovering from a motorcycle accident so he doesn't have anything going on. Not entirely sure how to bring in Aaron but he's there because he's freaking out about Katelyn being pregnant, but he's also trying to keep it a secret from Neil because he thinks he'sgonnatellAndrewand *gunshots*

*whispers* I feel like @sapphoherselz would see the vision but I'm delusional so idk

that poll about moving out has reminded me, once again, that despite having secured legit permanent housing (my name will be on the lease in a few months!) i don't have the proper documentation to change my address when i renew my driver's license next week. the address on my current one is for a building that is no longer registered as a street address because of the fire last summer. and i don't have the proper documents to change it

I don't think Dick not being adopted immediately is unrealistic to the modern day, and I'm a little unclear on where this idea comes from, or why it's so popular? There are plenty of reasons he might not have been; there's the Year Three explanation you mentioned which has come up in comics outside of that one, there's also Bruce's reasoning in Pre Crisis that he was too young and felt unready to make that kind of decision at the time - and besides those canon reasons there's things like not wanting to create a legal tangle if unknown relatives appeared later for Dick, or personal sensitivity to the fact that Dick comes from a culture with a lot of trauma surrounding children being adopted out (which is a topic that has at least come up in comics a couple of times, first with Yoska in Gotham Knights and then with Raptor in Nightwing). I really don't mean this to be combative and I hope it doesn't come across that way, I just personally find Dick's situation in Pre/Post Crisis pretty relatable, and I don't understand why exactly it keeps getting called unrealistic?

after some research to clarify statutes, here's where I generally fall on each of the Wayne kids' adoption status from a story perspective (note that this is not about their canon status, but what reasonably would happen given their individual situations):

Dick: Realistically, in the modern era Dick would be adopted basically immediately given his legal situation and Bruce's canonical willingness to adopt; the only reason he historically wasn't adopted was becasue single men weren't legally allowed to adopt minors (which is no longer the case). However, there are theoretically a few ways an author can justify Dick being permanently fostered and adopted as an adult instead, like Dick asking Bruce to not adopt him because he didn't want to feel like he was replacing his parents in Batman: Year Three.

Jason: Jason is definitely adopted prior to his death, idk what 2011-2021 DC tries to say. There's no reasonable outcome for Jason's situation that isn't adoption even if (like in the post-Flashpoint universe prior to Jason's post-Crisis backstory being re-canonized in "Cheer") Willis was alive and didn't want to give up parental rights, since Jason was 11-ish and Willis's sentence was canonically 'twenty to life.' At absolute minimum 2011-2021!Bruce was Jason's permanent foster father and/or legal guardian with physical custody, with Willis retaining limited parental rights. However, the court wouldn't have protested Bruce's adoption application after Willis's apparent death, especially if Jason voiced a desire to be adopted.

Tim: Tim's adoption process should have been fairly smooth given that Tim was 16 at the time and very much able to voice his own opinions on his living situation and desired legal status to the court. There's also very little incentive for Tim to opt for foster care over adoption under the circumstances, though Bruce and Tim could likely easily arrange a kinship care situation with Bruce classified as fictive kin if for some reason adoption wasn't in the cards.

Cass: Cass is a legal grey area in general since she was already 17 when she met Bruce, has no birth certificate, and her parents were never legally established as being her biological parents, but there's no reason either legally or practically for her status to be anything other than adopted...especially since it was 100% certainly an adult adoption regardless of universe. There's no existing parental rights to consider or terminate from the court's perspective.

Damian is obviously Bruce's biological child, but given the circumstances of his birth and early childhood it's not only possible but highly probable that he doesn't have a legally recognized birth certificate when he comes to live with Bruce. While this is obviously forgable via Babs or Bruce himself, the more likely situation is that someone (probably Bruce's lawyers at Bruce's request) went to the State Department and registered Damian as a foreign birth abroad using Damian's positive paternity results as an identification method, providing him with a Consular Report of Birth Abroad to prove his American citizenship.

Cybercriminals are abusing Google’s infrastructure, creating emails that appear to come from Google in order to persuade people into handing over their Google account credentials. This attack, first flagged by Nick Johnson, the lead developer of the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), a blockchain equivalent of the popular internet naming convention known as the Domain Name System (DNS). Nick received a very official looking security alert about a subpoena allegedly issued to Google by law enforcement to information contained in Nick’s Google account. A URL in the email pointed Nick to a sites.google.com page that looked like an exact copy of the official Google support portal.

As a computer savvy person, Nick spotted that the official site should have been hosted on accounts.google.com and not sites.google.com. The difference is that anyone with a Google account can create a website on sites.google.com. And that is exactly what the cybercriminals did. Attackers increasingly use Google Sites to host phishing pages because the domain appears trustworthy to most users and can bypass many security filters. One of those filters is DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), an email authentication protocol that allows the sending server to attach a digital signature to an email. If the target clicked either “Upload additional documents” or “View case”, they were redirected to an exact copy of the Google sign-in page designed to steal their login credentials. Your Google credentials are coveted prey, because they give access to core Google services like Gmail, Google Drive, Google Photos, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Maps, Google Play, and YouTube, but also any third-party apps and services you have chosen to log in with your Google account. The signs to recognize this scam are the pages hosted at sites.google.com which should have been support.google.com and accounts.google.com and the sender address in the email header. Although it was signed by accounts.google.com, it was emailed by another address. If a person had all these accounts compromised in one go, this could easily lead to identity theft.

How to avoid scams like this

Don’t follow links in unsolicited emails or on unexpected websites.

Carefully look at the email headers when you receive an unexpected mail.

Verify the legitimacy of such emails through another, independent method.

Don’t use your Google account (or Facebook for that matter) to log in at other sites and services. Instead create an account on the service itself.

Technical details Analyzing the URL used in the attack on Nick, (https://sites.google.com[/]u/17918456/d/1W4M_jFajsC8YKeRJn6tt_b1Ja9Puh6_v/edit) where /u/17918456/ is a user or account identifier and /d/1W4M_jFajsC8YKeRJn6tt_b1Ja9Puh6_v/ identifies the exact page, the /edit part stands out like a sore thumb. DKIM-signed messages keep the signature during replays as long as the body remains unchanged. So if a malicious actor gets access to a previously legitimate DKIM-signed email, they can resend that exact message at any time, and it will still pass authentication. So, what the cybercriminals did was: Set up a Gmail account starting with me@ so the visible email would look as if it was addressed to “me.” Register an OAuth app and set the app name to match the phishing link Grant the OAuth app access to their Google account which triggers a legitimate security warning from no-reply@accounts.google.com This alert has a valid DKIM signature, with the content of the phishing email embedded in the body as the app name. Forward the message untouched which keeps the DKIM signature valid. Creating the application containing the entire text of the phishing message for its name, and preparing the landing page and fake login site may seem a lot of work. But once the criminals have completed the initial work, the procedure is easy enough to repeat once a page gets reported, which is not easy on sites.google.com. Nick submitted a bug report to Google about this. Google originally closed the report as ‘Working as Intended,’ but later Google got back to him and said it had reconsidered the matter and it will fix the OAuth bug.

Exploring Fault Proofs in Optimism: An Overview

The activation of fault proofs by Optimism marks a significant advancement in Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solutions, completing the first stage of its decentralization plan. This milestone is pivotal for enhancing the network's security and trustlessness, reducing reliance on centralized entities like the Optimism Security Council. Previously, the council monitored transactions and intervened to prevent fraud, but with the new fault proof system, any party can now challenge transactions, moving towards a more decentralized and inclusive network.

Ethereum's high transaction fees have made Layer 2 scaling solutions, such as rollups, essential. Optimism's fault proofs ensure that off-chain transactions are valid by allowing a challenge period where anyone can contest a transaction's validity. If a challenge is raised, a fault proof is provided and verified by the Ethereum mainnet, ensuring that invalid transactions are reverted.

This process significantly enhances the security and integrity of the blockchain. Unlike Arbitrum, which relies on 12 validators, Optimism's fault proof system is designed to be trustless and decentralized, enabling broader participation in transaction verification.

Despite initial challenges with proof generation and verification speeds, Optimism has optimized its fault proof mechanisms to be compatible with Ethereum's Layer 1. This achievement not only improves the security and decentralization of the network but also sets a benchmark for other rollup technologies.

The activation of fault proofs highlights the importance of continuous innovation and rigorous testing in the blockchain space. For more in-depth insights and exclusive research, join our Web3 Sync community on Intelisync and Learn more...

listen. I know my family is bad at communication and acknowledgement of receipt of Thing but when the one thing that consistently happens semi-annually is that I get fussed at for not confirming I received something, it irks me a smidge.

Like if I'm expected to always confirm "Hey I got your [communication/gift]" then why aren't they doing it back? Especially considering the communication in this instance has really actually very important information they will want to know if they want to stay in contact with me.

Like????

Even if I'd just gotten a "K" in response, like. at least it would have let me know they got the damn thing. I sent this email TWO WEEKS AGO and only one person responded - and it was practically immediate too. Like... i know folks are busy, i know shit's going on. I get it. But it would help me feel so much less like I'm suddenly a pariah in the family out of nowhere if like one of the people I'd sent this to had just responded in some way shape or form.

I'd have answered a phone call - i wouldn't have liked it, but i'd have done it. A letter in the mail to my current address even. a message in a bottle probably wouldn't get to me because i'm pretty far from the beaches of the great lakes, and also they're even farther, but like. something right?

my sister at least confirmed she got it and just forgot to respond. i imagine that's what happened with everyone else because we have the same mental illnesses and look. i do it too. but also? also?? i was hounded to respond quickly to things, i was told off every time i wasn't responding within a half hour of any communication. I was asked instantly the next time they saw me if I'd gotten it, even if i hadn't had a chance to see the thing yet.

So forgive me, family, if I'm a little peeved off that all y'all are allowed to "forget to respond" for two whole fucking weeks and then a few extra days (because it's been 2 weeks, 3 days exactly) when i can't let something sit in the mailbox for 2 days because i couldn't get to my mailbox easily while living on my own without getting a phone call or text or email that there should be something waiting in there for me.
