@BethanyBlack He seems unclear on the concept. Normally mousers REDUCE the number of mice in the house…

@tofugolem @stux Once more for those at the back:

QUIT SPOTIFY.

Give Deezer a shot. Still not great payouts, but that’s not really happening these days anywhere, and at least Deezer comes with less unethical baggage (see also: Joe Rogan controversy).

@feld WHAT the FUCK?

WE’RE ALL doing this? I assume the writer must mean all of the top few percent of the top few percent who are able to put anything at all aside for retirement.

Saving too much… what a dick thing to write at any time, let alone when still recouping from massive job loss during the pandemic.

Looking forward to the follow-ups: How We Can All Keep Our Summer Homes Earning Money Through The Off-Season, and How We Can All Save Money On Our Maserati Maintenance.

@feld @lilithsaintcrow But even provocative images of men are a-okay.

Curious how that works.

…. and that also means if his son swings toward a preference for males, dad would be none the wiser thanks to this app.

@lilithsaintcrow I love that just using an iPhone lets you easily sidestep everything the app tracks. I suspect that if his 17-year-old son has an iPhone and typically raging hormones, Godliness or not, he’s already figured that out.

@ben @aral Also, the irony seems to be lost on them that their slowing load times on their services for those not bending to their will can only speed up people’s efforts to de-Google their lives.

The tighter they grip the universe, the more star systems slip through their fingers.

@BethanyBlack Sorry to hear. Is there anyone you know or have worked with who you trust and could ask to see if their rep(s) are taking new clients?

@verge @krisfreedain I wish ANY of my family and friends cared about their security and privacy enough to use this with me. 🤷♂️

@feld So you have to crush a car right as you get to 88 mph to travel in time?

@thomasfuchs What’s more bizarre to me, however, is countries where some places do the time change and other places don’t. (Come to think of it, I’m not sure Canada isn’t the same… 🤔)

And if I’m not mistaken, there’s some southern state where most of the state doesn’t observe time change, but a small region of it does, and a smaller region within that region doesn’t again. Or maybe it’s the reverse. But the colour-coded map of time changes in that area looks like a bullseye.

@feld Was this to design the most impractical bike possible, or…?

@BethanyBlack 😬

@BethanyBlack Is Spruce the kind of cat where you, like, offer up a special treat and all is forgiven, or…?

Because that would help.

@feld God, I HATE when I do that!
When will I ever learn?

@feld Be nice if people started posting material elsewhere instead, or at least as well.

Like, yes, of course YouTube is the go-to for most people, whether looking for content or creating it.

But what if they posted the same content elsewhere as well? A tiny extra bit of time taken would mean that a) your stuff would for sure be seen by people actively avoiding YouTube, and by people who are using ad blockers and don’t want to cave to Google’s pressure tactics.

Seems win-win.

@tk This is equal parts fascinating and weird and eye-opening. Apparently counterfeit cheese is a $2B market. 🤷♂️

To whoever thinks that people lean more to the political right as they get older: Im over 50 and bust my butt at work for $3/hr over minimum wage, where even if I worked full time hours (not often scheduled), I couldn’t afford the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in my city, let alone eating or paying any other bills.

If anything, I’m seeing the downside of capitalism better as I age and thinking that our union isn’t doing enough.

@ai6yr Heartbreaking. My wife and I went to Maui on our honeymoon and loved it. Hoping to get back there again some day.

Stay safe, everyone.

“You know how those bleeding heart lefties said that the best president we’ve ever had and still legit sitting president, Donald J. Trump, was guilty of inciting a riot and attempting a coup *just because he incited a riot and attempted a coup*? And they impeached him over just THAT?
Well ladies and gentlemen and whatever you other types call yourselves, Hunter Biden uses cocaine and has sex with multiple women, which makes Joe Biden EXACTLY as impeachable!”

- House GOP leadership, basically

Only half joking when I say I wonder if maps in the very near future will have Ukraine being bigger.

Like… way, WAY bigger.
