I've learned not to be so certain that these dipshits like Boebert will lose. However, she barely won of Frich in the last election. Like, pulled a win by less than a 1% margin. I'm willing to let myself be quite confident she's going to kick rocks in '24.
I read an article recently regarding the influx of younger, Dem voters moving into her district. Between that and her tumbling support, Frich has an excellent chance of giving her the boot.
People that keep making this dumbass "engagement" claim have no goddamn idea what they're talking about. Nobody is falling for jack shit. The "engagement" of people going on to place to troll is miniscule. Like you said, half of us aren't looking at this on Reddit. It's being broadcast everywhere else and the tech outlets that an investor will see are reading about how much the user base fucking hates the product.
People in the Reddit top decided that they would run places again off-schedule. Best guess is someone thought that it would be good marketing for the coming IPO to show that Reddit is still functional with lively communities.
Any idiot could have seen what would actually happen coming a mile away. The only people who participated in r/place before are people who are now completely anti-reddit at the most and royally pissed at the admins at the least.
Exactly. LinkedIn jobs is incredibly useful. I have also found it useful for helping friends and colleagues find new jobs or make career switches because of the connections I have. I only maintain work connections through LinkedIn as I don't use Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Absolutely, ignore the post feed. It's just capitalist boot fucking. A bunch of fucking losers with made up bullshit in their titles trying to be leadership influencers.
Still kicking but...somehow not the same. It's something I can't quite explain. There's just something different about it now. I had to look something up on Reddit a couple of days ago. It was the first time I'd been back since they killed all the third party apps. It reminded me of going back to a city I used to live but my friends were all gone and my favorite places to go had changed. So, while it was the same place, and there were plenty of people around, it seemed exhausted and forced.
Twitter is no longer publicly traded. One of the first changes Musk made upon purchase was pulling it off the market. Ostensibly so he could ruin it faster.
Yep. OP is a mega douchenozzle but sorting by new does in fact show a lot of porn. I simply have anything marked as nsfw not show the thumbnail. Problem solved.
Yep, airport for sure. I used to get sick everytime I flew. Not anymore and in hindsight it seems stupid that I never masked at the airport before. And doctor's office if it's my primary care or urgent care. Not much of a need for a mask at the dermatologist. Basically if I'm somewhere there's a fuck load of contagious people.
Recently though, the air quality has been so bad from the wild fires up north that I've worn a mask while out. I came home one day from coughing like crazy and my throat was sore. I thought I was getting sick until I put two and two together about the thick haze of wildfire smog. Masked up until the AQI went back down and saved myself some discomfort.
The guy that is one of the main creators of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, made Bluesky. It's a Twitter alternative that I believe is still invite only. It's funny, when Bluesky officially started allowing people to use it, Twitter was abuzz with excitement and people posting memes about begging for access. Those select few that did get in early were going on and on about how awesome it is and how it was like old Twitter.
Then Threads drops without the invite barrier automatically adding everyone with an Instagram account and I haven't heard a fuckin peep about Bluesky in weeks.
Agreed and I'm a rural American who lives in a proverbial transit desert. Surrounded by multiple major cities with fully integrated public transit, so this whole idea behind "oh once the cities get it so will the rural areas" is total bullshit. Hell, I even live on a commuter train line and the fucking thing doesn't run on the weekends and only goes north to south, it doesn't connect to any major urban center to the east. So, if you have to work that way, you have to drive. There's no bus, no tram, no train, only massive stretches of interstates. Our state got a massive transportation grant and instead of begging the state to bring the commuter line to at least the next city over, the county had them build fucking park and rides - just giant parking lots in the middle of nowhere where you can, in theory, catch a bus that will take twice as long to get you to your destination than driving.
I've attended the state's annual transportation public meetings every year for the last six years. They send a delegation to each county to discuss budgets and county needs. Every year. Every goddamn year our county begs the state to increase the commuter rail availability and every year they lie and say they're working on a plan then turn around and expand the highways and try to sell the local political apparatus on fucking toll roads.
That's how they got me as well. Lowest priced plus on sale. Reviews were mostly fine for the trimmer itself. Most people seemed to have more issues with the customer service, which, that's pretty standard for many companies these days. I was tired of constantly having to fix the name brand gas weed eater I had, so I picked up one of the battery powered Ryobi models. It works...fine lol. Battery could last longer. Otherwise it does exactly what it says it does on the box. I've never had a problem with it. My other handful of Ryobi tools are in that camp. Kinda cheap feeling but seem to work as advertised.
The only one that was shit is the drill. I have a low-end black and decker drill that has lasted me about ten years. The Ryobi I got maybe hit three.
I'll tell you though, the best tool I own is my Scott manual push mower. Picked it up for $99 and I've never had an issues and it still cuts like it did when I bought it four years ago. A little WD40 in the spring after pulling it out of shed hibernation and off to cut.
This is extremely interesting. So many products that I've never heard of and many of them were actually around for 6-12 years before being axed or coming up on death soon. A lot of these I had heard of and even used occasionally over the years and I didn't realize were gone now.
Really no idea why that timeline. In 2010 I got an email from whatever ISP I was using at the time politely asking me to stop torrenting music. They basically said, hey we see you're doing this, please stop or you can't have internet through us anymore. That is when I learned what vpns and tor browser's are for.
Seems absolutely bonkers that any corporation would be digging back that far for media pirates. Absolute waste of time.
