You’d be surprised how little money it takes to influence a US politician

Is Sharon Apple somehow involved? Can we get a list of virtual idols with suspicious behavior?

TrackerControl will let you block ads system wide. It’s kinda touchy and takes some finagling, though.

What sort of finagling are we talking? Also, I’ve been using AdAway for the past few weeks with mixed results. Could these tools be used in tandem or is that just silly?

My friend has a cat named Dumb Bitch. She found her in the road after getting hit by a car. Apparently after the cat recovered and made her house it’s home, it ran out of a window and got hit by a car again. So she lovingly gave it that name after that

That’s a temporary fix, because oop may drive that car at times as well. I have the exact same problem

Used to speak the King’s En-ga-lish

But caught a rash on my lips, so now my chat just like dis

There’s a bay?!?!

It was so tough getting through the first half of The Dark Forest because of the women. But damn the second half is incredible

I’ve intermittently had the same issue

Is there a way to configure the hide/show read posts more granularly? I’d like to have it off when viewing a specific community and on for the broader feeds

Yes but also when people are telling someone they’re from New York they tend to assume the city, so the follow-up answer is for clarification. The state is big and wildly different from NYC

Dang I wish I knew that at the time. I had to run it many times before I was satisfied that my history was properly edited before deleting everything

I can’t speak to the article that you’ve posted several times due to the paywall, but I can speak to the language and the antagonistic attitude they actually used during the entire debacle. Placing explicit blame on third party apps like Apollo, Sync, Boost, etc.- that was the argument used. It doesn’t matter what the real reason was. They were publicly placing blame on small fish instead of the AI monster that was stealing all of their content and bandwidth

IIRC that was not the case. They very publicly blamed 3rd party apps, which was both disingenuous and not transparent.

Never heard of BBQ/mayo but I’m there.

The embarrassment of getting pummeled to some sort of electric accordion solo really sells it. Is it an accordion? I haven’t listened to it in 20 years

That left-align is just 🤌

That was extremely confusing to watch without context. What’s happening?

You think it’s expensive now, but wait till everyone with all that California tech money rolls in and starts buying everything sight-unseen. And in cash.

This actually happened to me. I spent the whole day imagining how blue my ass was, too distracted to truly enjoy myself. Obviously I told everyone because I also thought it was funny but… UGH
