Post 2,222

[muckefuck]

BTW, if any of you are wondering why I set the birth year in my profile to "1896" when I'm clearly quite a few years younger than that (or else Dorian Gray), I was driven to it by the tediousness of having to click through a page on every single entry by f8nbegorra, fogbear, and others due to the clumsy-ass implementation of dubious "protections" by Your LJ Team several weeks back. For reasons of privacy, I don't want my actual birth year to display (if it matters to you, I was conceived about the same time as All My Children) so I began by inputting "1" and kept increasing the the figure until LJ would accept it. Apparently, the thought of a 112 year-old online is plausible to them but not a 142 year-old. (If anyone wants to discover what the precise cut-off is, be my guest.)

I wanted to do something cute involving twoness for this entry, but nothing came to mind beyond a discussion of the dual number in Irish. Never got around to that, obviously, but maybe I'll save my thoughts for the day aadroma tackles grammatical number as a Multilingual Monday topic. Now, with that monkey off my back, I'll post again about food and feasting. Huzzah!

But you don't have a userpic of a dead guy.

Actually, I do.

I wonder if the fine folks at LiveJournal, Inc. have been surprised to discover how many of us are over 100 years old since they implemented those filters. Amazing, these new-fangled computers, eh?

I'm 108.

I've always assumed they had bigger fish to fry, but maybe not any more? After all, they've got the free time to start censoring Interests, so who knows what's next?

I never thought I'd live to see the day when I'd be older than you!

I don't think they care much if people lie about their age.

Because they just have to say, Hey, we took appropriate precautions against letting minors see filth - if they lie about their age, then seeing filth becomes their responsibility, not ours, since it's a deliberate action on their part rather than an omission on ours.

People who were honest about their age when signing up and who later changed it to appear older have a problem, though, at least if they signed up after the time when LiveJournal stored the date you entered at account setup time. (Apparently, getting out of the filters if your setup-time birthdate was too young involves sending LiveJournal a copy of ID.)
