While a CVSS score of 9.9 indicates critical severity, it’s important to approach the situation with a balanced perspective.

The whole article sounds like somebody asked chatGPT to explain the tweet in more detail.

I feel I half agree with you. The other half of me thinks, there’s a lot of things we change for an actor acting a character. After all, it’s an actor, playing a character. Someone called Ben can play a guy called John; your grumpiest aunt can play a sweet grandma; often we have actors in their 30s and 40s playing ternagers and 20s; and men playing women even used to be a thing.

I think you have a good point, but I also think it’s okay to have an acceptable disconnect of, this is people acting out a story, not the real thing happening in front of me.

I really liked the Little Mermaid live action

Really? Nice to hear someone liked it! Till now I only heard negative things about it - about plot, character, etc. Never heard anyone complain about skin colour, only people complaining about other people complaining.

Call your credit company and block the transaction.

Remind them that if they don’t, you have a hitman awaiting a victim.

how does one use the dark web?

I think Firefox has a toggle for it these days. Your Android phone can also turn it on automatically when the lights get low or after 7pm.

Like, getting a hitman for a friend? Or getting a hitman for a friend?

But then the victim isn’t included in the price and costs twice as much.

Nah, because when you write it it’s just C, but when you come back later to check your code it’s gotten bigger and more obfuscated.

I also find a sort of bizarre satisfaction seeing it.

Yes, but… IIRC dubious connections and motives. Cf the Audacity debacle

it’s a polite way of saying, “intelligence vs emacs”

In this case, “it looks like we received it” sounds like typical AI choosing a response that sounds right with no attention to its meaning.
