I wouldn’t say “completely fucked”, but for a few years I noticed YouTube on Firefox has this occasional quirk where videos will quit playing and infinitely buffer at the exact same timestamp. Like there’s no way around it except skipping about 30 seconds ahead with the seek bar, or doing a Ctrl-F5 (hard refresh) and starting the whole video over. Opera GX doesn’t seem to have this problem at all.

But it’s still not a big enough deal to make me give up Firefox completely.

That’s pretty much all mainstream news now. The worst is articles that are just tweets of people reacting to what happened.

Wokism is the belief that all food should be cooked in woks.

Lots of fashies do worry about that stuff too, but they blame it on “socialism” and “wokeness”, and have a murder boner for anyone who’s to the left of Trump.

It’s like the shit at Boeing. Instead of recognizing its problems as the end result of decades of the company putting profit ahead of safety and lobbying for deregulation, the chuds would rather blame diversity hiring.

Castle toilets were sometimes just holes in the floor that emptied out the side of the walls to the ground below.

(If that “Incredible Cross Sections” book I had as a kid was a viable source. Those books went into almost comical detail on how sewage is stored and disposed of in various buildings, ships, planes etc.)

Build a gallows in which the floor drops out from under the convicted and causes them to fall into a vat of piss and shit.

That’s Cornados’ slogan and I think they print that on all their bags, not just the American Burger ones.

New Zealand is out-Americaing America.

“You can drink it and not get sick.”

“OK, drink some.”

“You’re a jerk!” leaves

Why do the TITLES for these videos HAVE randomly capitalized WORDS?

When I worked at Pizza Hut (early 2000s), for shits and giggles I calculated the actual cost of a glass of Pepsi. Accounting for the syrup bag, the CO2 cylinder and water (the latter being the cheapest since it was filtered tap from the city main) it was like $0.14 a glass.

Every McDonalds I see constant has a huge line of cars in the drive through, and almost every parking space is filled. Yet at the same time I always encounter people who talk about how they haven’t gone to McDonalds in years.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a McDonalds permanently close either, unless it was moving to a new location down the street or something. They always manage to stay open even in neighborhoods where everything else shuttered long ago.

Critical support etc.

Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Firefox is the best, but I noticed Edge is more snappy at loading pages. Especially if its a page with a lot of images. But Edge is for libs, so I don’t use it.

The conspiratorial side of me wants to believe that websites are coded to perform poorly when a non-Chrome browser is using them, in order to get people to switch to Chrome or Edge or whatever. Like the site detects the User Agent as “Firefox” and lowers its download speed.

My dad would constantly call me “loser” and other deprecating shit when I was still living with him and my mom in my early 20s. Even when i was making pretty good dough (but still not enough to live on my own) and was paying them a few hundred dollars a month, buying all my own food and paying 100% of the Internet bill.

I don’t miss that at all. I feel for people who have no choice but to be in that predicament.

Scale it down into a kitchen appliance so people can grow meat at home. Although I’m sure it’ll be enshittified like the Juicero or something.

A few months ago he was trying to get Pennsylvania to ban use of the word “milk” for anything that’s not dairy products. Nevermind that coconut milk and almond milk have been a thing since like the renaissance and officially defined since the 18th century lmao.

That’s an impressive hook. I’m curious to see Storm-Relative Velocity data from that 15kft slice.

I used to have all kinds of weather nerd programs on my old PC, like GrlevelX etc. Radar apps for phones just aren’t the same.

Please make it happen.

This is the thing that pisses me off about libs. They focus on the hypothetical of how much worse it would be under Trump, but ignore the fact that Biden is the president RIGHT THE FUCK NOW and doesn’t do a thing to stop the genocide.
