Hot Take:

Oh QR codes, you once were the cute, pixellated squares that made us feel like we were living in the future. Now, you're just another tool for the bad guys to steal our stuff. Thanks a lot, FTC, for ruining the fun. The agency is warning us about the dangers of scanning random QR codes.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
