Oh man, if only someone would create a script that automates filling it out.

Also include a table of all the assholes.

Vibe coders, where you at?

Daisy, once a healthy and energetic child, got sick about a month ago. She came down with a fever, sore throat, and eventually pneumonia.

The family tried to treat their daughter at home with cod liver oil, popular in the community for helping to 'strengthen the immune system'.

But when that failed, they took her to the hospital.

Hold on. So let me get this straight.

  1. Little girl is sick.
  2. Cod liver oil didn't work.
  3. Took her to the hospital.
  4. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

And this guy blames the Hospital?

Wow. You might as blame God, Mickey Mouse, and Tiktok dancers who also failed to keep her alive as well.

This isn't at all surreal to me. We saw this during the Trump Presidency #1. Just a toxic PoS with an insufferable staff spewing hostility.

And what did Biden do? Business as fucking usual. Taking the higher ground BS.

If 2028 is a fair election, and a hypothetical Democrat gets elected, I'm expecting more of the same. If Trump gets his 3rd term as he freaking demanded that happened, well -- we continue to move the goalpost of rock bottom looks like.

Yep.

NPR operates independently of the U.S. government. And while federal money is important to the overall public media system, NPR gets less than 1% of its annual budget, on average, from federal sources.

Glad to see tuta on this chart! Shared this with my team and there's a lot of excitement to leaving Google.

As a audible user, I was so excited to try this out. Lots of alternatives don't have a large selection, and the next best thing is to sail the seven seas. But I also want to support the author.

Downloaded Storytel, and not supported in America. Dang. Free me from this Audible hellhole.

Goodreads is like Yelp for books.

Find a book written by a right wing author. Hundreds of ratings, and the reviews don't even talk about the book beyond the description. Lots of pesudo-science and bad faith arguments.

I got scammed by a few books. And worse, call out the issues with the books and your review gets shadow banned. Amazon doesn't have a urgency to remove these fake reviews because it'll affect sales.

Not just the Chinese. But Obama. And a side of DEI and woke.

Good on you! Usenet has been around for DECADES.

I don't have a guide that's modern. I'm just remembering how I used to connect in the 90s-2000s.
