You know that whip is safe from being stolen.

Conspiracy time: Olive Garden buys the breadsticks with cryptocurrency mined from your phone.

Okay hear me out. What if…

Every month a device turned part of the screen of a thing you bought into an advertising billboard, the ad firm had to send you a cheque of $1 per square inch per month? That would stop this practice right then and there.

Situation Normal:

How about someone start a community called outsideUSnews, nonUSApolitics etc.? Where every country other than USA’s news and politics are discussed.

Luckily the Fediverse runs on a field of potatoes, rather than just a single spud like the other place.

There’s actual branded versions of that snack, called Baby Star in Japan.

Yes. It takes real restraint for me not to reflexively downvote news I don’t like, or posts that makes me cringe but they’re legitimate for the topic at hand. Also sometimes I downvote by accident without realizing.

Asking why things are downvoted or complaining about them are the two most surefire ways to receive plenty of them on the Threadiverse.

Upvotes or downvotes aren’t worth anything, don’t take it personally if you get downvoted. I’ve said unpopular stuff too and received downvotes. Once I wrote a raunchy joke and the votes on it went (1 -> 0-> 3 -> -5 -> 6 -> 20)

OK(){OK|OK};OK

In highschool, my classmates and I would hang out at the nearby McDonald’s often enough we gave it an informal course code.

There are plenty of cafes now but it’s too expensive now for me to hang out at them more than a couple times a month.

Here you go, friend:

Not gonna be active on Discord tonight. I’m meeting a girl (a real one) in half an hour (wouldn’t expect a lot of you to understand anyway) so please don’t DM me asking me where l am (im with the girl, ok) you’ll most likely get aired because ill be with the girl (again l don’t expect you to understand) shes actually really interested in me and its not a situation i can pass up for some meaningless Discord degenerates (because ill be meeting a girl, not that you really are going to understand) this is my life now. Meeting women and not wasting my precious time online, l have to move on from such simple things and branch out (you wouldnt understand) @everyone

Strictly based on where the jagged points are and where the strokes end, I would say the word written was uůẃnwu.

This is extra funny because I am imagining the toilet was closed first, and opened with a motion sensor with the salesperson and customer walked up to it.

Depends on your definition of major. yiffit.net shut down (made read only) near the start of this year with 3 months’ notice.

There was another, small and laidback instance that was like a bookclub or something, that closed or went read-only with a few months notice, but I’m forgetting the name.

No, if a Democrat president had done something remotely resembling one of these things: media, courts, Congress would be in a frenzy to stop it, before you could say executive order.

I mean I can understand the “controlled ineffectual opposition” narrative, but I don’t buy the “Democrats’ inaction means they are just as evil as Republicans”.

In addition to siccing the military on protestors…

• Harris would totally apply tariffs to every country in the world.
• Harris would totally pardon everyone who paid her enough and said good things about her.
• Harris would fire huge chunks of the government recklessly without any regard to what they do.
• Harris would push for a Big Beautiful Bill to withhold funding from judges that would try to hold her administration in contempt.
• Harris would start a cryptocurrency token designed solely to enrich herself.
• Harris would get into rapid back and forth arguments on Twitter (or BlueSky I suppose) with other influential people.
• Harris would try to make every issue about herself, including Canada’s election.

She would totally do all of these things in the first few months, because both sides are definitely the same.

I can check out any time I like, but I’ve never left.

definitely Ontario

The certificate/signature part seems okay for verification.

It’s the transferable virtual deeds being sold that are the scam. I could sell you a virtual deed to the Golden Gate Bridge right now, you could buy it but it doesn’t really mean anything.
