Be fair OP. America became a laughing stock the moment Trump was elected.

So let me get this straight. Musk bought Twitter for 44 billion, fired most of the staff, destroyed bunch of features and functionality, scared advertisers away and now changed the brand's name. Wouldn't it be less hassle to just start a platform and pay people $100 each as a sign up bonus?

I live in Australia, very sunny most of the year. Light theme feels like I'm shining a flashlight into my eyes even during the day. I just don't understand light theme.

I don't get all the hate Brave gets. I understand that techies have some issues, but for me as a user I have nothing bad to say. Ads are blocked everywhere, including YouTube. There's an option to use tor...

If you don't like the crypto options don't use them. I always thought crypto was bunk, but I wish I bought a bunch of bitcoin when I first heard of it.

I ran a business, built my website and done SEO according to advice found on the internet practically just using keywords related to my business. My goal was not to be on page 2 or 3 when people look for similar businesses. The site ended up always as a first result. I did not tinker with it, never paid for adwords/adsense. I don't think I was being an asshole, just trying to make a living.

The problem seems to lie with Google. I remember days when I could search it for topics of interest and get results that were informative and didn't try to sell me shit. Google is now reminiscent more of a mall and search results are shop fronts in the mall.

Perhaps, but for every 100 upvotes on reddit you also receive 75-112 downvotes.

I generally ask the person whether they close the door when they go take a dump. Everyone does it, everyone knows why you're going into that room.

I stopped ironically wearing my Putin t-shirt.

Never pee against the wind.

Of course it's cringe. Wankman can't even spell his own username correctly.

Laughing at me for decades? Or my country. I'm not even American.

I listened to Rogan since 2010 and stopped around the time he moved to Texas. I just could find any more slack, nor could I find enough excuses for him.

I never understood the cat VS dog people. I like them both. I've had cats, I've had dogs, I've had both together. I even had a cat that would come walking with me and the dogs.

That is, of course, providing it's sustainable, which at the moment it isn't.

Well, pineapple is a bunch of berries fused together.

Unrelated : avocado is a berry.

I'm finding that those searches will be advertisement for a vet clinic, hotels in Sparks, Nevada and they will all have a blog about this and that in vague terms advising you to spend money on the issue. Years ago I was building a water garden and found tons of useful info, a couple of years ago I decided to make a big pond and all those sites with the useful info are either gone or buried on page 73. What's at the front is retailers of pond/garden/aquatic equipment with the same drivel about your cat throwing up.

The people walking around are called Australians.

Last few times I did my first aid certificate I was taught not to use tourniquet; in fact it wasn't taught at all. I guess in most situations it makes sense not to use it, in situations where it would make sense to use it I would not have first aid kit handy.

Sarongs are the answer. In warmer months I wear them often.

I'm gonna need the list of communities you subscribe to. Don't bother with the meme stuff though.

It matters that if there's an option to upvote, there should be an option to downvote. Why have only one? What is the point of some instances having just one of them while others have both? I don't care about points but I like to see how controversial something is when I read comments.

I agree with the first two, but the third one will happen only when most things catch on fire during the peak hot times. Workers in Texas don't get water breaks in the current heat wave.

Did Google asked for the DMCA against Newpipe? Just wondering.

To follow up: he got fired from PayPal before it was named PayPal. Another words: he never worked at PayPal.

Haven't you done that already?

Spaghetti aglio e olio. Sounds fancy yet it could not be simpler. Cook spaghetti or linguine or my favourite angel hair pasta. Meanwhile peel and slice garlic. Heat good quality EVOO in a pan and when the pasta is nearly ready toss in the garlic (I also like to add in sliced red chilli). Once garlic starts turning light golden toss in the pasta with a little bit of the pasta water and mix together. Serve sprinkled with shaved parmesan and some finely chopped parsley, oregano, marjoram or any green herb of choice for a little bit of colour (optional). Nice crusty garlic bread on the side and for a couple of bucks and 20 minutes of your time you're sure to impress anyone.

I can join your smaller niche of ex-boyfriends. In fact I already consider you my ex.

Dad, is that you?

As I user, how does this impact me?

Why would you go to a site like that without an ad blocker?

Well, that's fucked up.

How does reddit app have rating of 4.8 on appstore while play store rating is 2.7?

You don't knot sarong, you wrap it around you and then fold the top edge down a couple of times. It's much more secure and comfortable that way. The sarongs I have are in more "manly" colours. Black/blue, brown/tan, dark purple/ochre - those have floral and tribal motifs. Then I have a couple that are brown with multicoloured lizards on them. Generally I wear them with short sleeved button up shirts. I've never ever gotten a negative comment or a weird look (not that I notice looks much). On contrary, I've had a few compliments and a couple of guys saying "I'd walk around in a sarong all the time but my wife won't let me."

Non-technical user here. Closed my business last year, currently between jobs. Any good business ideas that don't cost much to start up?

Beer.

This is not a forgone conclusion. Depends on the pizza base. A good pizza base has a tasty crust that I'll devour, conversely a bad pizza base has a terrible crust and I very likely not finish the pizza and leave all the crust.

Because I wanted to be obscure and mysterious, but if I'd call myself MrMysterious I'd know deep inside that I'm a wanker.
