He absolutely talked about the sites numbers being artificially high due to bots when he was buying it, even tried to use it to get out of the legal obligation to buy it.

We’ve also seen his gutting of the moderation system cause a huge influx of bots and bot interactions, not to mention other stuff that advertisers don’t want their ads to be next to.

Like he really has played him self and is having a temper tantrum at having to face the consequences of his own actions.

It’s even worse than that.

It’s like he bought another kids lemonade stand while claiming the other kid was pissing in the jug to make it look like they had more.

Then pissing in the jug in full view of everyone else to make it look like he had more.

And then tried to sue passers by for not buying his piss filled lemonade.

Piss being bots and spam accounts, and the passers buy being advertisers who want actual engagement from users.

Breaking news

Being really weird does not lead to electoral success.

There are plenty of browsers built on Gecko that aren’t fire fox. So if you don’t trust Mozilla to build your browser, and don’t want your ad blocker bricked by Google, you have options.

Because it’s not based on chromium(blink web engine), there are two other well supported web engines which browsers can be based on, WebKit (Apple), and Gecko (Mozilla).

At the end of the day, if it’s built on Blink, it’s liable to have Google break things they don’t like on the back end. Including ad blockers.

Opera used to be built on it’s own web engine (presto) but since 2013 it’s been built on Blink.

That’s like, 50 bucks. maybe 30 depending on the quality.

To be fair, the soda bubbles are extra Lucious at 30k feet.

In twitter bio it says “her pronouns are He/him 👉🌶️”

So, like, take that as you will. Finnster is a living meme, creating gender chaos for shits and giggles.

Especially because that’s just the sandwich, not a side and a drink. A combo meal is like 10.15$

I’m sorry but the quality of the food does not justify 10 dollars.

For comparison, I remember in Berlin not even 5 years ago I got a currywurst with fries and a drink for 3.60 € (about 3.90$), and in London I got an absolute mound of fish and chips with peas for like 6.50 £ (about 8$). Both of these I got as much or way more food than a Big Mac combo and they were much better quality.

I always find this so funny, like people are talking “needing to innovate to solve the climate crisis”. like, FFS, WE’VE HAD ELECTRIC TRAINS FOR OVER 100 YEARS!

They don’t even need batteries! They just need a power line and a little hook!

Oh, I almost posted this exact image. Lmao

Humvee out here with steel construction while the trabi out here with composite.

Yah, mushrooms are not that hard to identify if you know what to look for. I worry people who do not know what to look for will be far too confident with such an imperfect tool.

Especially with the growth of demand for foraged mushrooms in restaurants and supermarkets. It’s big money, and I have no doubt some “enterprising” people are going to get people hurt by trusting these tools too much.

I can imagine.

The weirdest part to me what how quickly the liberty hub mod just bowed out. Like, they could easily have litigated the situation, but, I suppose it’s easier to just drop it, let the situation play out, and move on.

I didn’t really see that many people going after them for it, there were a few, but it hardly seemed like an overwhelming tide, and most of them seemed like they already had a bone to pick with liberty hub. Maybe there were DMs or messages on platforms I’m not privy too.

The whole things just feels weird. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just abandoned the account the accusation was against and started using a new user name.

It is one of the greats. The story is tight, well executed and the characters and their development mesh with it. It’s one of the few stories that does time shenanigans well in a way that actually adds to the plot rather than being a gimmick or get out of jail free card.

Hell, doesn’t really work in temperate zones ether to be honest. It gets common house/yard plants well but if you go into actual wild-ish areas it will give you 5 different answers from five different angles of the same plant.

It’s not hard, it just takes time and attention to set up properly. And a lot of people are scared of messing it up.

See, this is kind of my opinion about streaming services, I ain’t gonna pay them anything unless they’re picking up independent projects I want supported.

I’m certainly not going to pay them for designed by corporate committee drivel that makes up 95% of original streaming content.

The fact that Tubi exists basically applies clown makeup to all the other streaming services. Like, Tubi shows me ads as or less frequently as the payed services and I don’t need to make an account to use it. That’s a huge plus for me personally as I’m tired of account bloat.

It doesn’t have every show or movie ever but no streaming services does. Its original shows are totally uninteresting to me, but that’s also true of 95% of new original shows on other streaming services. I ain’t about to shell out 8 dollars a month and sit through 10 minutes of ads every hour just to watch a couple of prestige shows.

And there are plenty of options for watching everything, for free, without ads, assuming you’re willing to jump through a couple hoops.
