Bug bounties refer to specific programs that companies put in place to essentially reward white hat hackers for doing freelance offensive security audits.

I get what you're trying to say, but you're specifically referring to black hat hackers. Referencing bug bounties is muddying your meaning.

Influencers. And more broadly, almost anything to do with marketing.

I'm personally a fan of "it's not rocket appliances"

It's often called an eggcorn, and here's a really good video that touches on it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JTslqcXsFd4&pp=ygUMRWdnY29ybiBlcmlr

The weirdest one I used to hear often was "for all intensive purposes," like wtf is an intensive purpose?

Roma people have historically been very persecuted because of racism and ethnocentrism. Case in point: the holocaust killed up to 500,000 Romani people, but the actual figures are not known. Roma people are among the groups that are rarely talked about when the Holocaust is mentioned, despite losing up to 50% of their total population at the time.

Arab and North African folks are usually considered white on the US census but that isn't really an accurate picture.

Race is a social construct that doesn't have clear borders. Racial categories mostly exist as a way of creating division and limiting access to resources, to flatten the diversity of individual cultures represented by a racial category... or to inflict direct and systemic violence. The experience of being a racialized person is entirely the creation of the society that a person lives within; for example, African folks usually don't self-identify as "black," within Africa, but that's an important racialized experience that people can speak to in a place like the US.

Sooo high urgency with zero consequence for missing targets?

That most likely is due to you being fixated on your thumb. We can and do consistently wire our nervous systems, and in this case you've probably wired yours to produce a pain sensation in your thumb.

In a nutshell, this is how chronic pain works. There most likely is nothing physically wrong with your thumb.

Probably that's a combination of placebo and the result of the fact that collagen is a protein supplement. You can most likely get the same result by using whey or other proteins for much lower cost.
