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.

I hope your system is doing butter thesis dames. sister is doing better these days.

Don’t swing on that one, Matt threw up on it.

I was thinking more along the lines of big black cockatiel as long as I don’t have to foot the bill. But beggars can’t be choosers so I’ll take what you’re dishing.

I mean, cloudberries are overrated. Dingoberries are where it’s at these days.

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 too will be pampering myself with TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads® tonight.

Look, I’m down to joke around about eating suburban pets, but I draw the line at discussions about Idaho. I do have standards.

Could really use some Labrador recipes right about now. Anybody got any good ones?

Is this another bear versus man thing except we replace the bear with a machine and the man with a creepy fucking masked maniac who’s clearly more of a threat than a bear in the woods would ever be?

I’m a transgender illegal alien who recently went to jail and got a sex change. Anybody wanna share pet recipes?

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.

As long as we’re eating pets, I’d like to have a Macaw. Anybody wanna split the bill?

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.

Y tho?

Not only did I accidentally break up your marriage 12 years ago, I’m also incredibly abrasive, smell like I’ve not showered in several days, and when I visit your house I always remove the toilet paper roll and make sure to put it the opposite direction when I put it back into the holder. And I hissed at your cat.

Sure, they love it. Till they see the bill.

Earlier this year one of my relatives came for an extended visit. We were discussing what we might have for dinner that week and both of us were on board for the same ingredients, such as asparagus. My relative was also happy with the video services I’m currently subscribed to because I have a couple options they don’t have at home, so they were telling me about how they were rewatching some older Harrison Ford movies. And then there’s the age-old (or old age) conversations about our current health issues.

In the following days, my relative kept bringing up the fact that their phone and tablet are listening to our conversations. Proof? After we had the food conversation, their news feed was suddenly filled with asparagus recipes. They were also getting ads for more Harrison Ford content on the service that they don’t subscribe to. And to top it off, they were seeing ads for a prescription my dog takes but that they had never even heard of before our conversation the day or two before. Isn’t it obvious? They’re listening to our conversations.

To me this was easily explainable by Occam’s Razor. All our devices are on the same IP address. After we discussed the asparagus I went online that night and did a search for asparagus recipes. And when we were talking about my dog’s health condition, I used my phone to look up the active ingredient because I couldn’t recall off the top of my head. Plus, when Hulu or whatever random service sees you’re watching a lot of Harrison Ford movies, it makes sense they’d advertise others you might like.

That makes a lot more sense and is a lot less complicated of an explanation than “our devices are always recording our conversations and uploading them to the internet as a basis to send us advertisements”.

Sure it’s technically feasible, but if it were happening, surely they would be a lot more incontrovertible proof than a questionable and likely misinterpreted news source that seems to be more of a “sly” advertisement for a tech solution that the big players aren’t actually using.

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).

Everything here is clay. We have like 1/4 inch of rich top soil. Then directly below that, red clay. Sucks in the summer because it bakes and turns to bricks because we’re so hot and dry. Suck in the winter because it cannot hold water, so the yard turns into a pond any time we get more than a sprinkle. Don’t get me started on pH.
