Imagine your gun was trying to be a vibrator

I’m not sure, honestly. I didn’t have it when I was a kid.

Yes please

It’s on on-again-off-again thing

Get out of my head, Richard!

Who keeps letting the venture capitalists in here? Fuck off with your misunderstood buzz words and leave us in peace.

And not the good kind

Why did they use a picture of Christian Bale?

Pihole is great, except my wife can’t turn it off if it breaks something (at least not without Extra work to set it up on my end). And when she leaves our wifi, she’s stuck with ads again.

That’s why I typically recommend end-device adblockers. Easier for most users to use and configure.

This is what happens when your motherboards are designed in hell

Any Republican who hasn’t visited the island would be fine releasing the files. A vote against it is a strong indicator that they’re in them.

I think the point is that you have to do all of that in order to use the internet at all. And even then, it’s still a lot worse than it was even 5 years ago.

It’s not terribly difficult if you’re the one who set up the pihole or equivalent. But I typically use adblockers on end devices because they’re easier for other people to use (toggling a browser extension is accessible to most people, especially if I pin it to the menu bar).

I wonder how much more they need to do before more people start using tools like uBlock and such. The internet is practically unusable without it, and I’m not using hyperbole–most websites have so much garbage on them that you literally can’t read them without an ad blocker and/or reading mode.

Since Google removed support for ad blockers, I convinced my wife to switch to Firefox. She noticed a huge improvement immediately, especially on mobile.

Turns out most of it is bigger, but still not easily visible (I was definitely one of the people that thought it was giant heaps).

the patch is a widely dispersed area consisting primarily of suspended “fingernail-sized or smaller”—often microscopic—particles in the upper water column known as microplastics.[4]

While microplastics dominate the area by count, 92% of the mass of the patch consists of larger objects. Some of the plastic is over 50 years old, and includes items (and fragments of items) such as “plastic lighters, toothbrushes, water bottles, pens, baby bottles, cell phones, plastic bags, and nurdles”.

Fortissimo?

I always love this sign, because what is calling 911 going to do? You might as well stand there and lol, the EMTs ain’t getting there in time to save them.

My theory is that it’s due to the tonal ambiguity in writing short messages.

In longer form writing, it’s easier to establish a tone. But with something like a text message, it’s harder to convey, and it’s easier to accidentally come across as being short or harsh. The trailing “lol” is like a little flag that says “hey, we’re friends, and I’m not taking this too seriously, and I’m not mad or offended or anything!”

Just a theory though lol
