“Xitter”?

Reads like “chitter”, sounds creepy enough.

President Felonius Trump.

Probably the 90’s in the US. For context I’m an '80s kid.

The dust from deregulation had mostly settled, healthcare hadn’t skyrocketed, education and homes were still mostly affordable. Union busting and offshoring had settled down a little. Bankruptcies crushing retirements, too. You thought that the traditional paths of career, maybe getting married, and buying a house were still on the table. Politics were pretty stable and it was probably the last time you could make the argument that “both sides” were kinda the same. We were kinda coasting after the close of the Cold War…sure there were some skirmishes, but nothing huge. The were the “good old days” where shit was just going OK for the most part (please don’t pedantically point out what was wrong with society, no period is perfect, it’s just that the '90s had a few less bumps in the road). The internet was becoming a more widespread thing, technology was advancing rapidly. You could still save the Earth with a little recycling, Climate Change wasn’t obviously having effects as veiwed by the average person.

Followed by the '00s where we got hammered really fast with dot-com bust, 9/11, recession after recession, decades of war, politics shifting hard right, rapidly rising costs thanks to speculation and corporate mergers…it’s been pretty unsettled for quite a while and for those entering the workforce now it’s rough.

Yeah…the '90s. Things were still looking up until TSHTF in '00s and after.

Go ahead and buy. Shares generally tank pretty quick after IPO for companies that don’t actually make anything, the dot bust ensured that. Only time will tell if Reddit shares improve or flounder around not going anywhere. An additional thought - Reddit would do well to do things like get rid of old.reddit, go after ad blockers, and maybe implement a “verified” fee program like Xwitter to boost their stock potential. And also ensure I’ll never return.

Burgers, hot dogs, onion rings, kielbasa, the -wursts, sweet mustard on German Pretzels; goes into several salad dressings, marinades, or things like egg salads; sandwiches, corn dogs…I’m sure there’s more I just can’t think of it.

Running wires is expensive. That’s why most people opt for wireless, and on top of that, the convenience systems like Ring offer with their app, no NVR/DVR, none of the typical security system hardware cluttering things up.

Don’t argue on the internet.

It’s not easy to find people who are willing to talk with you, most want to talk at you, and aren’t interested in good faith discussion. State your case, clearly and with sources as needed, and don’t waste your time with your opponent’s butwhatabout, JAQing off, irrelevant exceptions, and goalpost moving.

I asked Midjourney to draw itself. Somewhat similar of a look, though Midjourney seems to think itself a bit godlike. Edit: difficulty uploading from mobile. https://imgur.com/gallery/TETnZqg

Lengthy non-scientific video covering the detection of colliding black holes in 2016. Also, buy their merch.

More fees.

Later in the news tomorrow:

“25 million jackpot to be split among 45 individuals who all picked the same numbers. Lottery officials confused as to how this could happen.”

Hm. We have 2 kinds of HMD in our household. “Fit” is not problematic, but it’s profitable marketing.

I know very little about the machinery that makes the fediverse work, so forgive me if this seems ignorant: What’s to prevent a malevolent entity from writing their own version of the fediverse that is compatible with the current version and uses the “EEE” philosophy to essentially take over, grow, and kill (or overwhelm) the ‘verse we all use now?

It’s a lot cheaper to consume the competition before it’s a threat.

Right? The only people that seem to hate on the EU are the ones being prevented from profiting off of it the way they abuse Americans.

Despite the protests, Reddit’s Huffman has persisted in arguing that Reddit is “a living organism, this democratic living organism, created by its users.”

No way can a democratic society last under a corporatocracy which, by default, is essentially a dictatorship. And corporatocracy is exactly what Huffman is pushing.

Y’know, it’s highly hypocritical that the article mentions the reason for the API shutoff is to force users to pay for the content while redditcorp doesn’t pay for the content users generate that reddit wants those same users to pay to access.

I acknowledge english has many confusing and contrary facets, but I must counter with why do other languages assign gender to things and make others neutral? A car could be female, the muffler neutral, and the window glass male.

Also, I don’t have much to offer regarding adjectives other than it doesn’t matter. The human brain is capable of sorting both “the car blue” and “the blue car” just fine.

It’s falling apart over there. They’re attacking and threatening subs literally for following the rules. /pics, /military, and others.
