I usually just knuckle-punch them in.

What was incredibly strange about my situation was that it was initially a DNS problem, it couldn't resolve the addresses tha tthe hotel wifi wanted it to get to for the portal. I double checked, and basic DNS queries were working, just not those ones.

So I figured, I'll go on my phone, grab the IP addresses it's connecting to, stick those in my hosts file, and they'll get resolved. Well, this worked for the first portal address, but the one it redirected to couldn't be reached. Nothing I tried worked, so I had to do what I described above.

Last time I went on vacation, the hotel wifi wouldn't let my laptop on for some reason, but my phone was fine. The portal to log in just wouldn't come up on my laptop.

So I took my phone off the wifi and just spoofed my phone's MAC address on the laptop. Did that for the whole week I was there.

Baka and it's various forms are actually stupid, fool, idiot, and the like. Calling someone stupid is a pretty common way to insult them, so if you see that, it's probably pretty literal

Yup, that's why I mentioned they were disrespectful, but are often translated as curses for English understanding.

While not my native language, in Japanese, many insulting things to call people are often translated as English curses, but actually are just increasingly disrespectful ways to refer to the listener. The actual translation for them is just "you" but not respectful. This might not be a complete list, but I got most of them at least.

Anata - Polite way of saying "you" but not often used in conversation except between spouses or lovers. It's preferred to use the listener's name instead.

Kimi - Rude in a polite setting, but not explicitly disrespectful, necessarily.

Omae - Now you're on the level of picking a fight, but good friends often use this for each other.

Temee - Extremely disrespectful

Kisama - Extremely disrespectful

Kono yarou - Extremely disrespectful

When I managed a pizza place, people would ask if the driver could bring change for $100. I'd tell them if they wanted to leave a $50 tip, the driver can give them his $20.

Don't forget that when they do hit it big and get lucky, they often spend the robux they earned back into the platform.

The We Make Games documentary on Roblox interviewed a kid who made $20k USD or something like that off his game. Never cashed it out and bought a bunch of cosmetics in the shop he's stuck with, and he's kicking himself for it now.

If I understand the news on the matter clearly, he still has one last appeal to overturn his purchase. I think he's hoping to reverse Twitter back to the old owners in a demolished state as a middle finger.

It doesn't have to be entirely lackadaisical, but it shouldn't be as bad as it is now where kids must be locked up inside and supervised all the time. We didn't really go all that far from our respective houses until we were around 12 or 13, before that we were usually on our own roads or adjacent streets where the others lived, since we mostly lived in close proximity. Later on we'd go ride a couple miles into town and mess around a bit, but there were usually at least 3 of us together, and we didn't pay much mind to anyone else.

It took me around 4 hours to get to that point, and sometimes my mail would still go into junk, especially on gmail inboxes.
