What in the actual fuck are you on about?
They genuinely believe some random guy is god incarnate so they tormented him his entire life to try and get him to kill himself,
Nothing in wicca allows any of that, so far as I’m aware.
That’s SO far off base with what I understand of the basic tenets of wicca that it’d be like an humanist atheist vegan suddenly signing on to work as a halal butcher and then deciding animals aren’t enough, it’s time to butcher people instead.
It is, to a degree.
She’s no billy strings.
I legit wasn’t sure if this was a real thing she did that started as a friendly joke or something.
Actually, I’m still not sure.
When did they start bundling candy crush? Xp? Or 7? That was when the enshittification started.
Not due to that app itself, and it was a slow start and it took a while, but that was when stuff started being “pushed” instead of merely “present”, like, say pinball or solitaire.
Aside from one (seemingly very out of place at the time) early mention that the author used Bitcoin, there was no hint of it being pro-bitcoin until the very, very end.
I found it to be a very worthwhile article right up until that point and even slightly intriguing from an academic perspective after that point.
I despise the endless blind parroting of the typical cryptobro refrains elsewhere on the Internet when crypto is brought up and I still liked the article, so I wouldn’t write it off just because one guy with a cryptohammer inevitably sees the very real SMTP problem as a cryptonail in the end. It’s natural when you have a “solution in search of a problem” situation like we do with crypto (and block chain, and for that matter SharePoint. People with knowledge of a thing often try to use it to solve problems it probably wasn’t meant for.)
No, that’s GOOD news.
Learning is a good thing.
Fascinating stuff.
Thank you 😊
It’s fucking “'til” not “tell”.
'til is short for “until”.
Please stop saying “Let’s wait tell later to do that”.
I thought it said “Grimes” and it was making a joke about how ugly and comical the cybertruck looks.
Oops.
LOL
Back twenty years ago when I first started seeing “SMH” it was “So. Much. Hate.”
As in “I really dislike that.”
As in “So, everybody unanimously said they want sheet cake for office birthdays and management decided to double down on the day old donuts again anyway? So Much Hate.”
I’ve clicked on ads “plenty of times” on purpose.
Probably a half dozen a year at one point.
There was a period of time where some sites I visited hit the sweet spot of only using advertisers that were moderately relevant to the content or to similar interests that people who would be perusing that content might have.
If the ads are for things I might be interested in, I’ll click.
It’s utterly shocking that with as much as most service providers and companies actually know about the average person that we’ve so thoroughly failed to target ads at people.
Couple that with ads being an occasional attack vector because nobody properly vets shit anymore and it’s not worth it to whitelist most sites in my adblocker unless I’m REALLY interested in supporting them.
I avoid YouTube and that sort of stuff like the plague unless I need to repair an appliance or a car or something, so outside of text ads, the only ads I regularly see anymore are the occasional totally irrelevant commercial on a streaming service.
Once upon a time Hulu let you PICK what kind of ads you wanted to see, which was the tiniest of baby steps in the right direction.
We had the potential to drill down, do the hard work, and provide relevant, interesting, and specific ads, and the corporate fuckis at the top chose greed.
I almost feel bad for people who work in advertising.
A few of them.
Maybe.
Is THAT what they’re associating it with? 9/11?
I seriously thought it was a reference to the eternal september of the internet, or potentially the school year.
That makes even less sense than the stuff I thought it was about, and I was fucking REACHING.
This is it. If they’re not technically third shift, they don’t have to be paid a shift differential.
They can claim everyone is “normal thing, payroll-wise” and the fact that a full third (or 2/3) of the work they do is “outside of normal” can be classified as “as needed” and “occasional other shifts as required”.
It allows them to be one thing on the books while being completely different in practice.
The ability to easily hide individual threads.
Like, I’ve seen “Wendy’s wants to go to Uber style pricing”, I want the ability to mark it as “read” and set jerboa or lemmy.world in my browser to “show unread” and still have the ability to view my “read” items later if I want to refer back to them or whatever.
It would drastically improve my mobile experience and greatly improve my PC experience as well.
Lotta key parties in your neck of the woods?
I think it’s a combination of all of the reasons you stated AND the sorting algorithm not being the same as some of us are used to on Reddit.
I’m still getting used to finding content I haven’t seen when I’m not toggled to “Subscribed”.
A way to mark something as “read” and not have it show back up for me unless I’ve posted in it would be handy, but as with all new paradigms, I’ll get used to this one eventually and likely wonder how I ever did things the “old way”.
Some of those movies are just awful.
LOL
That’s fair (and generally the prevailing opinion from what I can tell)
I think I just missed the boarding call for this decade’s nitpicky bus because I can’t even stomach reading most reviews anymore. They’re all too negative for my taste.
Maybe my internal critic just gave up and retired with the advent of midichlorians as a plot device way back in my late teens. That’s the last time I recall being truly disappointed in a movie that I sat all the way through. In retrospect I can’t even blame the star wars extended universe novels at the time for setting the bar too high.
I’m not sure, but the one I’m thinking of starts in the 1800’s, which is part of why I enjoyed it.
I thought it was a neat take on what I considered an otherwise one-dimensional character. (Don’t hate me, my first exposure to Wolverine was the 90’s animated series, where he WAS pretty darn one-dimensional)
There was a MOVIE?!?
Based on the In Living Color character?
