I definitely miss the cached pages. I found that I was using the feature very frequently. Maybe it's just the relative obscurity of some of my hobbies and interests, but a lot of the information online that shows up in search engines seems to come from old forums. Often times those old forums are no longer around or have migrated to new software (obliterating the old URLs and old posts as well).
I found it interesting that Trump claims if he wins the election, he'll have the Russia / Ukraine conflict resolved BEFORE he even takes office. I'm paraphrasing there, but that's how I interpreted what he stated.
If that's the case, then it seems like he could choose to end the conflict at any time. Why doesn't he just end it now? Save countless lives. Minimize injuries. Prevent suffering. Save money. I'm sure that'd change some voters' minds if he did it. Might even win him the election.
Yes, this is a rhetorical question. I have no doubt that he can't actually end it without basically giving in entirely to Russia.
Why you peeing in that thing, bro? The two big arches ought to be enough for any halfway intelligent person to realize that you're supposed to stick your buttocks there not your beanie-weenie. Dries out your logs so that they don't make as big a mess when you pick them up to toss them into the sink.
It's not surprising here on Lemmy, but on pretty much every other site I've ever mentioned issues I've had with Amazon, the replies would be filled with people claiming it is the best customer service, that they've never had any issues with Amazon at all, and that it must be something I did to cause the problem.
Personally I stopped using Amazon on a regular basis almost a decade ago after it was clear that the company I first started using back in the mid 2000s was irrevocably changed for the worse.
Remember That DNA You Gave 23andMe?
No. When did I do that?
Lemming is the correct answer, but I'll also accept Lemmin' mostly because I'd love for there to be some kind of meet-up, like a Lemmin' Party or something.
It's really a shame that we have a state in my country named Ohio, but not one named Obyeo. So that would be my wish. For my country to have an Obyeo.
I don't have a cat.
I have a weird-ish cat that sometimes follows me on my walks. I'm his best friend when we're hiking buddies. When I see him on the trail, he's all meowing at me, rubbing up against my legs trying to get me to pet him. And if I stop petting him, he bites me. So that makes me think I'm special.
But, if I happen to go over to my neighbor's house (his owner), he won't come near me. He runs off if I try to speak to him or coax him to come over to me.
Till next time I see him on the trail, and we're back to love bites and heavy petting.
Fellas, does women having normal biological functions make you feel homosexual?
Caffeine these days.
Sort of weird looking by current standards. I don't know how long it will be before I see one of these. I live in a rural area, and our local USPS seems to use personal vehicles I guess? I don't really know for sure, but they don't drive the standard white and blue box that USPS drivers had when I lived in more urban/suburban settings.
The conservative folks I talk to always, always, always bring up the price of eggs and the price of gas when they are talking about how bad the economy is these days.
I've heard "Groceries have doubled in price." many times. Obviously I can't prove that's not true for them, but then I ask what items that they buy regularly have doubled in price? The answer: "Eggs".
Okay, so what else, I know that eggs alone do not make up your entire grocery bill? "Everything". That's pretty much all I get.
Even if they can tell me a few more things that have doubled in price, it's basically going to be outliers or things I know for a fact they rarely/never buy. Like when it comes to the eggs, they'll make claims like "eggs are $10 a dozen", but when pressed about it, you find out they're talking about the gourmet premium brand that's always been way more expensive than the cheap ones and which they've never purchased in their entire lives.
When you think of it, so many of them are immigrants. They don't belong in our suburbs. They don't belong in our homes. They should go back to the desert where they belong. But no, instead they're pricking us with their thorns and I shudder to think what they're doing to our pets and the wildlife.
My credit card offers virtual credit card numbers AND the ability to auto-lock the virtual numbers so you can set a date and after that the number will not accept new charges.
I make sure to use a virtual card number for everything subscription based, then I immediately set the auto-lock feature to expire in a few days (give the initial charge time to clear but still plenty of time before the subscription would otherwise renew).
Some subscription services make it super tough to cancel. This method fixes that issue for the most part. Some subscription services terminate immediately once you cancel the subscription, even if you still have "time left" otherwise. This way you don't really have to formally unsubscribe. It's easy peasy pumpkin breezy as the common folk like to say.
Somewhat tangential question: Why do so many sites have links to an external status monitoring site, but when the site is down and you go to check the status on that external status monitoring site, it says everything's fine? What's the point of the status site if it doesn't actually acknowledge that there's any sort of outage nor provide any info on it?
Could really use some Labrador recipes right about now. Anybody got any good ones?
Look, I'm down to joke around about eating suburban pets, but I draw the line at discussions about Idaho. I do have standards.
Don't swing on that one, Matt threw up on it.
I saw something the other day where they were interviewing some people from a republican group in North Carolina. Their response was basically that it's a non-issue for them. Even if every awful thing about him is true, they said they aren't electing saints, they're electing politicians.
Yes, yes, yes. I don't get to watch it often these days, but it's always so much fun. Now go away, I'm baitin'.
I've never thought to try this, granted I rarely ever drink soda.
It's interesting to see multiple folks saying that Coca-cola and Pepsi taste the same. In my part of the world, there is (or was) a noticeable difference between the 2. I could easily discern the difference between them even in a blind taste test. "Coke" is noticeably more bitter and has more complex flavor. Pepsi is sweeter with sweeter flavor tones.
Well, some people say men are basically just dogs and I guess if some of us can lick our own assholes, that's further proof.
As a kid, by the time I started hearing about the system via video game magazines, which were kind of like miniature websites but printed on paper and then distributed via mail and stores, I was convinced it would be the next big thing. By the time it was launched, I knew it was going to be the new top dog in the industry. When I finally got my hands on one, it was (pardon the pun) game changing for me.
The system definitely had its flaws, but it was an evolutionary step up and order of magnitude bigger than anything I'd ever experienced before.
And go figure, it was the last system I owned before I stepped away from the gaming hobby for nearly 2 decades. Life, uh, got in the way.
Grandma’s Boy
I haven't seen that movie in ages, but I have watched it many times. The scene that really gets me is when they clean under the sofa and there are numerous cat carcasses.
I would have ice cream for supper, that's for sure. If I started getting fat, I'd start taking the new weight loss shots to trim down. I'd offer everyone in the country ice cream for supper and then I'd also offer them weight loss shots if they got fat from eating ice cream.
If you offer me a chance to win millions of dollars and all I have to pay is $2 USD and the date happens to be Friday the 13th, then there's a good chance I'm going to pay you the $2 USD for the chance to will millions of dollars so long as you're a legitimate lottery that I'm legally allowed to play.
I love this movie! So much fun.
Encryption.
I mean, cloudberries are overrated. Dingoberries are where it's at these days.
When I was a kid, I watched this and Labyrinth so much. I'm pretty sure I have both on dvd if not bluray. I feel like I need to pull them out.
I reserve the right as I am from a different but somehow similar shithole, and recognize it is detriment to society.
I will mock it at every opportunity until it cleans up it is act.
I recently joined WTF and based on the list of the instances this place is federated with, my assumption is that's the basis for the WTF name. So, maybe something like this could be useful for choosing an instance that's not 1/2 filled with bat shit insane posts by default rather than requiring significant and immediate curation (i.e. blocking stupid shit like hexbear and ml).
How many j's has this photo been pegged? My dear sweet pixelated Jesus.
To make this all about me, me, me: Another part of my childhood is now gone. But I have to say, 93 years of living a good life is something to aspire to! I can only hope I live that long or live half as amazing a life. I can also only hope to have that deep of a voice. DOES IT HELP IF I TYPE IN ALL CAPS TO DEMONSTRATE?
What you don't know is that he died when he was pulled into a jet engine.
I'm into this. And the corollary. "Shit out" is redundant. Shit it out. Shitting out.
(Shitting in?) Makes sense in one context, but that's a completely different context than that which shitting out is typically used.
Children of Men is so good. I love this thread because I'm seeing mentions of so many great movies that I used to watch all the time but I realize it's been ages since I've last seen them.
Not going to lie, I kind of wonder if Anna Kilgore named her cat Miss Sassy in honor of Lindsey Graham.
As long as we're eating pets, I'd like to have a Macaw. Anybody wanna split the bill?
When someone asks a thing like this on Lemmy, look up the same thread on Reddit (guaranteed to find it was recently also posted there) and copy-pasta some of the top posts. Guaranteed worthless internet up arrows.
