I love this new sicko variant

Every year, we get a state park license. There are nature trails, and it's relaxing to take my dogs too. One of my favorite things to do is use the Seek app to identify different plants.

It's well worth the cost of the license, but my public library also has state park passes that people can use for free.

This is one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed upon someone: To be banned from a raging genocidal slave state

Not just the effort, but by the time you buy all those ingredients, you're probably paying more than you would for normal laundry detergent.

And if you use Dr. Bronner's bar soap as recommended, you'll be paying out the ass.

I'll see if Vencord gets a plug in for this, or else I'll try a different app

I can't leave discord because I'm connected to too many people

Nothing I'm aware of. Unfortunately, everything is either chromium or Firefox forks.

Can't wait to tell my husband! He's from a town not that far from Mexico City, and the bullfighting tradition really pisses him off.

It's going to be pretty much the same experience as Fennec though, which OP said they've tried extensively but didn't like

Imagine growing up with this.

I know this isn't your central point, but this is the scariest part to me. They're never going to convince people like us that this is a superior way to communicate with tech because we know better. Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon all know this. They don't have to convince us. They just have to make it the new norm.

I used to mod a good-sized gaming discord server, and I saw so many young people say things like "Well, what do you expect? To watch someone's YouTube content for free?" They don't remember when YouTube was just a bunch of us randos posting fun stuff, and the most popular channels were shot in 360p on someone's flip phone in a basement, and the site itself had some banner ads at most. Even the very first video shot by Jawed as an example practically fits this description. Now it's become normal for it to be a monetized career, professionally shot and produced to be pushed to the top of the algorithm. I hate it, but all I have to do is take one look at YouTube's home page to determine such is the case.

Search engines used to be things we managed by entering specific commands and conventions long forgotten, but if I try to explain to someone the benefits of such a system, they'd think I'm just some nostalgic boomer.

Forums used to be anonymous, and many still are, but not the most popular ones. It's become normal to give at a bare minimum your personal location and phone number.

And it will unfortunately become normal for "AI" to hallucinate bullshit at us and accept the answer as "good enough" or whatever. Maybe it already has.

Leaf blowers gotta be one of the most worthless inventions.

Is this really a break with democrats though? The democrats have shown time and time again that they're not allies and have repeatedly espoused anti-queer/anti-trans legislation. They've never stood up for us when it's unpopular or politically inconvenient to do so, which is when it really matters.

I really loved this show when I was a kid. Uncle Jesse was my favorite. But as an adult, I don't think I could get past the whole "General Lee" thing and the Confederate flag.
