I do something similar, but I guess scorched earth edition:

• Only use firefox, no chrome or chromium variants

• Never signed in to my google account (only have it to keep a gmail forward going for old ass subscriptions)

• Have firefox configured to only keep whitelisted sites’ cookies and data between restarts - google is not on that list

• uBlock Origin

The last several months I started seeing that youtube screen “enable history to see recommendations” blank page when first landing, as if it was a punishment to me. It’s not. I remember all the channels I like, and it’s easy enough to keep checking back. So that blank screen is actually a nice bonus to me.

Ten pills once is chump change

When I was a patient at the VA pain clinic for a couple years, I could fart ten pills on any given day.

Lighten up, Francis.

Throw a bone in there, and baby you got a stew going!

jumping won’t impress her

Unless it’s jump humping.

As soon as I read this I read the rest of your comment in Al Gore’s voice, ca 2k SNL, lol.

ITT I wish those that can recall would name and shame.

LBJ’s presidential tapes had him talking to some trouser company, and it’s hilarious with “And another thing…the crotch, down where your nuts hang, is always a little too tight” while letting a couple belches out. Teach played it in our Vietnam War class in college to demonstrate how he was a crass character.

Can’t a femboy get me pregnant, thought?

valuable

Till he’s not, or worse, becomes a liability.

Once he’s washed up there, would be funny if they extradited him back to the US. Double whammy if he ever makes it back.

OC … Original Content

It’s a vehicle for trump to accept foreign money, that’s how.

*Quick Stop Groceries, with two drug dealers standing out front.

No, Nvidia did not buy the Xbox brand. And no, I did not fall for it until I saw the comments on the article.

Was the transition into management easy for you, or was it a slow acceptance?

Funny thing I’ve been driving for 30+ years, and have never had a formal driving test:

• Permit at 15: No tests, only restriction was to have a licensed passenger in-vehicle

• License at 16: Had driver’s ed in school, state’s driving test waved, and license transferred to other states without any new driving test

• Motorcycle license: Took a safety course while in the military, state added endorsement without any test, which also transferred out-of-state

• Heavy vehicles: Trained on military 5-ton/deuce+0.5/Frontloaders/HMMWVs - all kinds of heavy equipment - no formal tests, only unit sign-off (even on civilian roads)

• The kicker: I now live in a US state where a driver license is good with no re-testing till age 64

Gonna suck when I actually do have to take a test. Hopefully there will be sane infra to go completely driverless by the time I get that old.

Turns out dope.af is redirecting to andy.is, til.

Throw in something about the Florida motherland being invaded and I think we’ve got an ironclad writing prompt.

executing foreign JavaScript

This is a great point I try to convey to my less-technical friends and family. Looking at a webpage is not like changing the channel on a tv of old. Looking at a webpage pulls code from who knows where and executes it on your local machine.

These advertisers expect that I should blindly trust them to execute code on my cpu, in my memory, on my machine? Yeah fuck that, it’s a privilege. I don’t invite every hobo walking by to come into my house and take a shit in my toilet.

If they don’t like that not everyone executes their syphilis-ridden javascript, then they should put their shit behind a paywall. But they won’t, since they know they don’t have a product worth paying for.

lol, no - just curious what town/city, or even just state/country. The vegetation, river walls, and architecture all seem so unfamiliar to me. I’m just not sure where this might be (Greece? would be my guess)
