Thanks! She’s been doing it mostly on her ereader, I didn’t realize it should hook up to a computer but that makes sense!

Hell yes! Its easier to get a new job when you have a job so if its not right, fuck em

Are YOU FUCKING SERIOUS???

The second AVATAR movie was the best!

I wasn’t into drugs at the time, but I wish I was, because I would have loved getting high as fuck and watching them swim with that whale for like 1.5 hours on IMAX. That shit was magical. Honestly, the only thing that could have possibly made that movie even better was MORE whale and less plot.

Avatar 2 hit so fucking hard.

Why?

I mean, sure, I could have had a more specific search. I just assumed that DDG was privacy focused and more or less gave the same search results to everyone.

My states midterms happened months ago, and weren’t particularly newsworthy then. Let alone now.

Given the newsworthiness of Michigan, especially, and 4 other states last night, I would have expected to see results skew towards the trending news story as opposed to old, largely irrelevant, results that skew towards knowing who is performing the search.

It’s backwards of my expectations with the product. And based on my understanding of how search engines operate, youvare more likely to catch search engine bias with broad sweeping searches, than you would with hyper specific searches. As an example, this search was able to identify that DDG biases location over relevance/newsworthiness. Which is why I asked about it in the community I did.

I wasn’t complaining about the effectiveness of the search, rather the privacy concerns.

This makes sense, thanks! How precisely does an IP address give me away? State level, metropolitan area, city, street?

Why they exploding hoes over there?

New to Lemmy. Is this common from this instance?

I’m no fan of the dem elite, but I’m still a believer that if we’re OK with incremental change and we’re active at all levels of government that we can motivate others to re-engage and take back what’s ours. That doesn’t mean that we wait till we can vote again and try better next time, it means we start creating the society we want to exist. Building up local politicians, and supporting the hell out of places that support us, hell, even supporting the hell out of places that aren’t supporting us right now but have the structure to support us.

I actually saw some praise on Flock today on Facebook. Youre probably right

I was doing OK on today’s then it asked me to guess which direction

was from Ottawa. That question implied if I was in Ottawa what direction would I need to travel to get to the other. Obviously it would be south. But the “correct” answer was north. That’s a shit worded question.

I gave up when it asked for a distance and only gave me kilometers as a unit. Fuck kilometers. Give me miles.

I wouodve thought thisnwouldve been done when initial sanctions hit…

A small blue brick with a strange marking on it was found, “NØKÍÁ”. When a button was pressed a screen lit up with a young blond female and pink hyroglyphics “HANNAH MONTANA LINUX FOR NOKIA 2026”. On it, an instance of Minecraft with a library unlocked keys to the past as archeologists roamed a pixelated landscape as an avatar named Rahul.

And what’s it mean in terms of sex things?

I don’t know what it means in either context tbh. #justsweetsummerchildthings

Congrats on therapy! I have a new baby daughter too and I’m on a schedule every 2 or 3 weeks with my therapist. She keeps me sane and I hope yours does too.

Are you missing your hobbies and free time more or socialization?

Fellow American here. Do you strongly dislike Trump enough to stop funding his funders?

It’s a good sign you’re on the fediverse. But where are you shopping? Walmart? Amazon?

Unfortunately, it is nearly unavoidable to boycott Trump’s funders entirely. But there alsovneeds to be a level of accountability for how we got here.

We got here because we continued to support companies that dismantled our Democracy (Citizen’s United). Those companies got the power because we chased the shiny things. We went for the lower price, ignoring the local businesses that charged a bit more but supported the local economy.

We sat back while Democrats earned a reputation of not standing for anyone or anything (except Israel). Maybe we voted for the lesser of 2 evils, but we never demanded better.

We’re here, in our 2nd Trump presidency, with maybe the start of an answer in the DSA. But let’s be real, civilized countries consider DSA policies as centrist. The DSA is our far left with any power, and it has shockingly little power considering how bad our politicians have been for years. I’m glad that Bernie ran in 2016, I’m glad that the movement built, and I’m glad that now we’re finally starting to see DSAs make a name for themselves and get elected into real positions, but let’s be real: if we were fucking sorry about Trump then the DSA would have had the power it currently has in 2018.

Yea, honestly this pencil (and eventually a metal version of this) was like the BIFL of all my school supplies.

I’d get one, maybe a 2 pack, at most once a year. College, I had a metal version that lasted me all 4 years.

Give a kid one nice pencil or 2 pencils, and they won’t lose it. Give em an abundance and they’ll most definitely lose em.

Some Honda lines are made in Canada. Shares production with US and Mexico though.

I’d be more comfortable exempting a Garmin on the premise that it can be used 100m than I would an Apple Watch, because they have marketed their products specific to individual sports.

Apple has marketed their watch as general, everyday use. The average person does not dive 100m everyday.

I acknowledge there is a slippery slope with my argument. And that it could lead to more electronic waste. But at it’s core, not being abused by companies, the rule should be that it has to be proven necessary for its advertised use cases. Reducing unnecessary features is a good thing towards reducing waste.

Why might it not be for me? It looks sharp!
