What's scarier is that every website has access to that information, most just don't tell you. For example you can see this on the shard Account Settings > Recently Used Devices So be careful about clicking links you don't trust, someone could be trying to get your IP address or real location. 15 minutes ago, Ink and Embers said: Neat, thank you!!

NerdSandwich she/her Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Eh a bunch of features protect my school laptop I doubt it The link was blocked anyways (no I didn't click on it I did the hover trick)

NerdSandwich she/her Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Oh interesting. Y'all will never find me though *evil laugh*

NerdSandwich she/her Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Oh I remember the days when I had a chromebook *shudders* Most ppl have a VPN that gives them access to ChatGPT but my parents made me delete mine.
Frustration Posted May 15 Posted May 15 (edited) 2 hours ago, Enderuser53 said: Chromebook Ah, that makes things difficult. You probably don't have more than 4GB of RAM, which places limits on what you can do to get around any restrictions they have 42 minutes ago, NerdSandwich said: Oh I remember the days when I had a chromebook *shudders* Most ppl have a VPN that gives them access to ChatGPT but my parents made me delete mine.

My parents don't trust me with access to gaming websites

NerdSandwich she/her Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Well they let me play video games for 20 minutes every two days, so I still can.
Verdance he/him Posted May 15 Posted May 15 1 hour ago, NerdSandwich said: Well they let me play video games for 20 minutes every two days, so I still can. That’s… restrictive. Exceptionally so.
NerdSandwich she/her Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Yeah...I know I wish I could have more time My little sisters do too. And they each get 20 minutes every two days (well my littlest sister only gets 10 actually) But we're not allowed to watch each other (too much screen time) so we're basically banished from the main room during that time.

That feels quite excessive. I asked this in an SU, but I barely got any responses. You are forced to give up your hands, your wrists will now end in fleashy stubs. In exchage you will recieve any magic system of your choice. The only restriction is you can't use the magic to get your hands back. What system do you pick? Edited May 15 by Frustration

I can get mage hand as it’s technically not “my” hand. Alternatively I could go with the Aethers from Aether of of night, get the Bestarin and graft the hand of a monkey or someone else(something similar to mine) and get hands, although they’re still not “my hands” and so it gets around the restriction
