The Fediverse effect is much more entertaining. When every instance trys to retrieve a thumbnail and description of a link at the same time. Nobody even has to interact with said post to just give the place a DDOS flood.

Don't forget, they're slander and disinformation machines too.

No. It's not large companies. It's a sickness inherent in the system and exactly what this is taking about. The only service being provided is leveraging their own credit to get a mortgage from the bank and then paying that mortgage and taxes with rent. They do that because it will decrease supply and increase value. And that's a parasitic practice done not just by large companies by any means. In my city they even subcontract for maintenance and also pay for that out of the rent. If we're doing this shit, why exactly aren't we just letting the renters own their equity for paying the goddamn mortgage. It's a disgusting system.

It's ironic, except for when we're talking about the Fr*nch. It's self aware humor that you're being ridiculous. The tone it's supposed to convey in situations like thisis that you're being hyperbolically obtuse.

Then on android Firefox you accidentally hit the back button and it closes the tab and you can't go forward and you already navigatedc away from the originating page on the other tab forcing you to open your history and try to figure out where the hell it is.

Here's the thing. You said "vegan luncheon meat is spam."

Is it in the same USDA classification? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies processed food, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls luncheon meat spam. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

If you're saying "luncheon meat category" you're referring to the economic grouping of the USDA, which includes things from Armour Treet to Great Value to Swift Prem.

So your reasoning for calling a vegan luncheon meat spam is because random people "call the one in the tin spam?" Let's get King Oscar and Chicken of the Sea in there, then, too.

Also, calling something meat or spam? It's not one or the other, that's not how nutrition classification works. They're both. Spam is spam and a member of the luncheon meat category. But that's not what you said. You said luncheon meat is spam, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all tinned meat spam, which means you'd call prem, treet, and other luncheon meat spam, too. Which you said you don't.

It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

They are adept at what they need to achieve whatever goal they're trying to achieve. Gen Z are much better at using proxies to get around content blockers than millennials are.

When you fight and communicate by typing in a game, you tend to get good at it.

The real fun was getting the box and getting some random asshole to illegally hook you up to the cable.

Nah, that was ME. 98 second edition continued to be more popular until XP. Vista's problems were nothing compared to ME.

 

Warping is throwing an anchor either manually for a small ship or by rowing the anchor out and dropping it farther away for a larger ship. Then the ship would reel it to change position. Good for maneuvering in harbor. Etymologically related to "throwing" and essentially threading a needle across the sea.

Warp factor get you asses in the rowboat. Engage.

 

Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like "what is Congress" with a push notification is not the best plan
