As brutal as that verb is, it's an understatement as to what he went through.

Going out on a limb guessing kids aren't learning this anymore.

Had no idea.. what else changed besides DH?

How can you talk shit to AL fans about pitchers hitting now? Have any stats gotten more similar between the leagues, where the DH diverged them before?

Wasn't it just not fancy rss?

What? Why is my comment invalid in the context.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Unexpected? Did my comment convey surprise? I think I'm upset bc I'm informed.

How was that implied by the comment? Tell me what's in my head please.

You got me. I don't have a problem with him being given the security liabilities of a defense contractor and control over people's Internet access. I posted for upvotes.

Dude isn't American. More money than a sovereign nation. Space level ballistic capabilities. Openly aligned with our enemies and their values.

How the fuck does he have a penny of my federal fucking tax dollars? We're funding fucking terrorists that don't even need the subsidies.

Must be same era, my elderly off the boat Italian teacher in 90s Brooklyn used to hit me with his cane.

I just wrote really small on a paper in my glasses case, or hidden data in the depths of my TI86.

We love Nightcrawler in this house.

 

tl;dr I came across this today. There is a theme that reminds me of a slowed down version of something else but I can't place it. Help!

 

I've used notification cleaner for years but it's dead. Anyone recommend alternatives? This has been difficult to find online

 

Found myself in this thread and I started thinking about the nuance.

YT, Wiki, FB etc all existed before 2010, many of our staples even before 2005.

High speed home internet; 3G and 4G have been around fair amounts of time now.

You could play Kyocera Snake on the shitter or text on a Nokia brick when pay phones were still around.

Box, iCloud, and other SaaS and/or freemium storage solutions have been around a long time. Bluehost has been an option forever.

E-commerce has been killing big box stores since before the demise of the JCPenney catalog. Amazon shut down bookstores decades ago.

Zoom, FaceTime, etc, way before the pandemic.

I grew up in the analog world. I remember needing to make plans, print things, watch shows at certain times, yada yada... But the ability to reach in my pocket and pull out an untethered supercomputer most places I'll ever be (including the fucking sky or under the earth) and to access the entire world's library of historical knowledge, arts and culture in whichever ontology I prefer accurate in real time; have food, prescriptions, etc delivered same day; most consumer goods in 24 hrs; all my shit of all types synced all the time on all devices all the time; tell my house or phone or car what to do and a robot cleans my floor or whatever other crazy shit is happening with Home Assistant; you get the point...

Unfortunately, living in the US, I find myself defining temporal chapters by presidential terms these days. I know 2016 was when social media jumped the shark and broke the social contract IRL.. 2008 was web 2.0 and we created the content, our digital lifestream, 2020 anyone with a MacBook could create chillhop for SoundCloud...

When did the web start looking like times square without ad blockers? When did our access and ability become so pervasive and encompassing? When did the dark web become more destructive than stranger danger?

When did we get here?

 

R5: just started checking it out. It's cool and has some advantages of others. It's hella expensive. Thoughts?
