Is this a The Crow reference?

It can’t rain all the time.

I don’t know, the only thing stopping me from getting 150 billion is the threat of having to pay an 800 million fine on it.

If it weren’t for that

I was going to say, it’s starting to sound more like the EU is just taking kickbacks in a circuitous legal manner rather than via a shady under the table deal with men and trench coats exchanging packages of unmarked bills.

I mean, in the last 5 months how many times has the EU fined meta or google?

If you really want to make a message that sticks, you ban the danger sites from operating in your collective and then fine them for their past misdeeds.

If you want to be seen as lenient, you then set down a list of objectives that the site must adhere to in order to be reinstated in the collective.

Anything short of that is just lining your pockets. I mean, what is the money being used for?

Remember, the rule is “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish”.

Threads is doing this. Kicking them to the curb regardless of the cost is the only solution.

I don’t know what normal people do but people like me don’t see ads because they use the appropriate protections from the invasiveness of the internet.

Pihole. Firefox. ublock origin, privacy badger, decentraleyes…

It also helps if you don’t participate in systems that attempt to intrusively shove ads down your throat, but you do you.

That calculation is based on location.

Cumin can add a cinnamonesque flavor to chilis, I wonder if that is where the idea of putting cinnamon in chili comes from.

I’m with you. I make mid-100s myself and as a single homeowner with no children I still can’t afford to go on funky vacations.

My take home after 401k and taxes is like $7,600 a month and my mortgage, heloc, car and student loans eat about $5,000 of that.

But, car will be paid off in the next few months, student loans should be done about 2 years after that, he lock will be done about 2 years after that so 5 years from now it’s only going to cost me like $2,500 a month to keep my home.

I have been told that I fit into the Henry class, “high earning, not rich yet”.

I just wonder if I can keep going for 5 years to accomplish that or if I should just finish up the house and sell it and pocket the 200k in value it’s accrued, pay off any other outstanding debt, and then go find an apartment or something or go travel.

Yep. If you want to get woo-woo about it it is kind of interesting that the Bible says that we are the light of the world and when measured with appropriately sensitive scientific equipment it turns out we glow.

Not trying to push an agenda, just commenting on the connections that my mind makes.

I used to have one pop up ever so often on my neck, which was weird because up until a few years ago I didn’t even grow facial hair.

Just like overnight all of a sudden I would have a 2-in long white hair sticking out of my neck.

And yet, can anyone off the top of their head tell me who it was that originally said that?

Did your mom name you Lee Harvey oswald?

Did your mom, aka Mrs Oswald, not know that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK, or was she like really proud of that fact and wanted to carry on his legacy?

Did she legally change her last name to Oswald just so she could name you Lee Harvey Oswald?

Or are you like a Jr and your dad is Lee Harvey Oswald Sr?

Did your mom bully your dad into changing his name to Lee Harvey Oswald?

Humans emit photons as well, but very few of them, making it almost impossible for them to be detected except with special detection systems (I don’t know what they’re called).

What is there to be positive about?

I used it for a while. It honestly was a really good browser for a long time but since everything started going this shit it quickly fell from my good graces.

The only time I even think of missing it is when I have to open a page that is optimized against Firefox on purpose because the developers decided to use some janky Javascript plugin and didn’t test.

I miss my games being on solid media that I can trade with my friends or sell at a game store.

But I would not give up the seven seas to have that back again.

I fully expect an incessant torrent of smug assholes on every corner of social media I go to alongside a never-ending stream of horror stories of all the shitty things that people are doing to other people.

Yeah I’m 6’1 but I’m native American so I don’t think I will fit into their thing cuz they tend to prefer white guys

I’m definitely a jack of all trades, but I have a bachelor’s in IT and like 10 years of work experience.

I feel like the competition is pretty high for people in that category though, but I could probably handle a couple hours a week of berry picking and English teaching.
