If it's a site you use often, right-click and "block element" is your friend. Might be able to sus out a universal block as well if you dig around the different elements there.

This shit is why I resist proprietary apps like this as much as I can. Removing functionality from the website and hiding it behind an app is so shitty and I'm not playing along just so they can sell off the info they get from it.

It was enhanced (brightened) by the show Last Week Tonight.

Why doubt? The party has made it part of their platform to distrust the voting process. It sounds like a threat because it is one.

it is also somewhat misleading

...what? No it isn't. Restricting the premise from infinite to any finite amount of time completely negates it. That doesn't prove it's "misleading", it proves anyone that thinks it does has no idea what they're talking about.

What are we supposed to do[...]?

All of these articles treat energy usage like a massive crime, but miss/ignore that the world's energy use needs to go up as we increasingly turn to electric alternatives. The problem truly lies in how we generate electricity, not how we use it.

So the actual answer to your question is intense and rapid investment in sustainable, non-carbon energy production. An infrastructure revamp to rival any other in history. It would've been far better to do so decades ago, but that's no longer an option. Anything else is just half measures we can't afford.

I selfishly want someone to get around to making RES for Lemmy already. The number of amazing features in that add-on was fantastic.

They did try to kill him first. Several times...

I didn't read the article, but wouldn't the site see the phone as soon as it's taken out of the bag? Unless the plan is to leave the phone in the bag the whole time, at which point it seems easier to just leave it behind.

Ranch it up!

This was my first thought too, hah.

 

One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS's stuff just doesn't hit the same way.

And if you're not an album person, maybe a period of time in the artist's work? Whatever works for you.

*Lots of mentions of hit debut albums that subsequently petered out, which follows with the dreaded sophomore slump that hits many artists. Anyone with mid or even later career albums that stand alone? Those always intrigue me.

 

Just had this thought and I'm caught between the two. Assuming anything being considered were all "good" photos, what would you prefer if it were you?

*Lots of great responses! I do want to clarify that I am not currently dealing with this scenario myself, but I appreciate the thoughtful comments. Hopefully they can help people that are struggling. I know I'll keep them in mind for the future.

 

For the unaware - Slug Bug

 

I do this for a few things, movies in particular. For me most recently, I'm planning on watching Bo Burnham's Inside this weekend, for the first time since I watched it shortly post-release. I wasn't really intending to wait *checks watch* nearly 3 years on that one, but I definitely felt it needed some space before a rewatch.

Anyone else treat certain pieces of media similarly?
