Just discovered this, good tool!

I'd like to sit back and laugh in (immigrated) European, but we are not that far behind you in some places.

And I thought, looking back on it, the American education system I experienced in the 80s was horrific. This is just ...is William Gibson writing this season?

Eight years almost to the day between leaving Reddit then joining here, but I feel like a refugee multiple times over.

Old BBSes briefly; then IRC then and that chat thing Wired had for a while; the various Yahoo boards; Facebook (shudder, only a year or so); but mainly this one forum I loved that Twitter killed; Digg a little on the side; then Metafilter for more than a decade before I buttoned and came to Reddit.

I agree with wreel (how do we "@" people here?) that this feels a lot like the early fora of the original www, even a bit like BBSes on steroids at times.

I kinda did this with my wife a very long time ago, so long ago I doubt any of my experience is still relevant. And we had saved up considerable money before we left and still had a nest egg to return to. So, not exactly low budget but not trust fund either.

I met a lot of people who had almost no money however. The principal I learned is that if you have a) enough money or b) enough time, you can get to almost anyplace you want to go to. The people with no money had enough time. They would often stay in one place and work for two or three months to earn enough money to move on to their next destination. These people were pretty chill, except for the ultra minimalists who had like one pair of underwear and would ask to "borrow" yours. Those people sucked.

The right to access the internet via broadband wherever possible. Money should not prevent this.

[Can I just inject a meta comment that the threading system makes is nearly impossible to see who is replying to whom, and in discussions like this (and the one with the question about Sealioning and Tankies) it is important.]

Well said, thank you.

You know, fuck this company and the people who run it.

Saved, thanks internet person/strong A.I.!

Can you share what your search entailed and how you undertook it? I'm on lemmy.world and not really dissatisfied, but I am curious for potential future use. Thanks!

Actually the popcorn lung was traced back to one dude in LA who used a thickening agent to make his THC liquid seem thiccc.

Maybe add a /s although I hate having to add an /s.

Link? Is it one of the below?

Thanks for the detailed answer!

How can one avoid this "trap?"

Now the monkey comes out of the sleeve!

That is not a very flattering picture of her - there are better ones.

I worked for about ten years in competitive intelligence, both agency and client side. That was a very long time ago.

What’s the point in sitting on your ass complaining about the behaviours of other individuals and organisations when the only thing you have direct control over is your life.

I'm not challenging you on the "sitting on your ass" part because that is true. But I promise you the Earth getting hotter and more polluted is going to exert "direct control ...over your life." And the only real way we can change this is through some kind of political process.

This is one of the reasons Elon is destroying the bird - to ruin our internet and its ability to aid collective action.
