You can download the audio portion of YouTube videos. The website TubeRipper is one such option.

Because DDG uses Bing's API. Basically, you submit a search to DDG, DDG submits that search to Bing, Bing provides results to DDG who repackages them as DDG, then provides that to you.

I do notice users here snapping back at jerks a lot more.

I got my first degree in my twenties, then got hurt and was unable to continue that career, so I went back to school in my late forties to get into another career I can actually perform.

We're old and we exist.

You're 100% right. The conservative groups always try to attract two types of people: nostalgic idiots pining for a past that never existed and braindead idiots who are easy to convince that one or more minority groups are responsible taking one or more things away from them. Sometimes these idiots overlap.

What matters most is the fact they were different times. You grew up!

If I did this as a private citizen, it could carry criminal charges. If a corporation does it, maybe they'll get fined.

Black grapes. They're high in antioxidants, actually taste like something, and they have this great crisp, almost crunchy yet still tender consistency. I can eat a few pounds in a sitting if I don't watch out.

I've learned to no longer fear comment notifications thanks to Lemmy. It still has some assholes, but people tend to pile on and call them out on their bad behavior. It's nice, I like it here.

I heard all the hype, so I read it. I now don't understand the hype. It has three main elements:

Dragons

Magic School

Romance/light erotica

It doesn't do any of those things particularly well. There's nothing interesting or particularly original about the dragons or magic school stories. The plot is full of ham-fisted exposition (the protagonist "reciting facts about the world to deal with stress"? Really?) and the characters are two dimensional and boring as well. The romance is super cringe:

Plus this really short video nails the entire book and not in a flattering way. It may not be the worst book I've ever read, but it's amongst the top ten.

Same here and seriously. It's not that I disagree that whatever is bothering them is bothersome, it's usually just something I wouldn't notice.

Like people cutting me off or speeding on the freeway. I really couldn't care less as long as they're not putting me directly in danger. I really just don't notice but it drives my wife nuts. I'm just happy I'm only driving my car, not living in it.

Many modern humans are a bunch of entitled little shits and it applies across the political spectrum.

I strongly believe every person needs to experience serious adversity at some point - homelessness, joblessness, food insecurity, chronic health issues, or chronic pain. I have had most of the above (and still have some, yay chronic health issues) and that made me a better person by giving me perspective. I don't give a shit about losing plastic straws; on the contrary, I welcome their loss, they're stupid and polluting. I can walk and I have a warm place to sleep at night, losses like plastic straws seem as trivial as they truly are.

All the best people I know went through some shit or are empathetic enough to understand what it's like. The worst people I know either were protected from adversity, lack the empathy to learn from others, or went through an adverse situation but didn't have the tools to properly work through it so it made them worse.

A lot of AI images remind me of fever dreams and that's very much the case for this image.

Seriously, I had to double check I wasn't somehow on Facebook.

You're right and these clowns are just deflecting. I can't believe they actually wrote that American Democrats support any far left ideology. I snort laughed.

I remember being a kid playing Morrowind and really wishing my friends could play with me.

Now I'm an adult and I don't want to play with the kids. They have way more time to play and take my ass to the cleaners. After the umpteenth time getting tea bagged while some 13 year old goes on about fucking my mother, his voice breaking repeatedly throughout, I swore off multiplayer.
