Why are you surprised? They are called cock-roaches, after all...

Well, he didn't even buy the original (I guess it has spoiled by then), but a DIY replica and a certificate.

Wary reader, learn from my cautionary tale

I'm not sure what to learn exactly. I don't get what went wrong or why, just that the files hit deleted somehow...

Yes, almost like they have intentionally waited until Trump's election.

My impression from the article was, The Onion bid contained both a monetary sum, and partial debt relief. The total value then - the sum + the debt relief - was higher, and that's how it won. So, it wasn't just the victims' backing weighing in, they actually put money on it.

Does anyone have a link to the discussion actual? I found this, but it doesn't seem like an in-depth discussion...

I don't think Biden and Harris are really further right than Obama - and they certainly aren't further right than Clinton. Like, democrats haven't been left in like 50 years.

And they're all with different commit message:

"switched arse to bottom to create a more uplifting vibe"

"took arse out and put bottom in to keep my language warm and friendly"

"thought bottom would sound a lot nicer than arse, so I used it"

And so on..

We did have problems with vaccines before Trump

Type in "Is Kamala Harris a good Democratic candidate

...and any good search engine will find results containing keywords such as "Kamala Harris", "Democratic", "candidate", and "good".

[...] you might ask if she's a "bad" Democratic candidate instead

In that case, of course the search engine will find results containing keywords such as "Kamala Harris", "Democratic", "candidate", and "bad".

So the whole premise that, "Fundamentally, that's an identical question" is just bullshit when it comes to searching. Obviously, when you put in the keyword "good", you'll find articles containing "good", and if you put in the keyword "bad", you'll find articles containing "bad" instead.

Google will find things that match the keywords that you put in. So does DuckDuckGo, Qwant, Yahoo, whatever. That is what a good search engine is supposed to do.

I can assure you, when search engines stop doing that, and instead try to give "balanced" results, according to whatever opaque criteria for "balanced" their company comes up with, that will be the real problem.

I don't like Google, and only use google when other search engines fail. But this article is BS.

Such a cute kitty snail! Can you post just the picture?

In TikTok or instagram reels, you don’t follow people you like. You just watch stuff happening.

That's actually the whole point of TikTok, what made it different when it started. An app for short videos where you follow people you like is more of a Snapchat competitor, not TikTok.
