I don’t care if people want to make money, and I’m even fine with ads (within reason) but all this ExTrAcTiNg VaLuE is making the Internet unusable and damaging humanity.

The early Internet was social media, but it wasn’t so corporatized to the point of being ruined.

How many old people have you known?

Support Mbin?

It’s good in soups and roasts. I’ve seen people dip it in ranch too.

There’s conversations in posts and sometimes messages, but if you’re looking for live federated chat, you might want to check out Matrix over something like Lemmy or Mbin, which are more forum-like.

Because you’re a dude? I’m just guessing but that’s kinda been my experience: Tough time? Nobody really gives a shit. Man up, tough it out, etc. All that shit. Glad you’re getting counseling though, that’s some fucked up shit.

A few times a year maybe, but I always use a case so it’s fine.

It sounds more like you are referring to the web: I’ll probably keep visiting until there’s nothing worth visiting anymore. Then I guess I’ll find other stuff to read.

Yes.

“Don’t stick your tongue out unless you’re gonna use it.”

Not really, she was a crazy ho but also very good looking, plus I was young and stupid (also horny).

Research the shit out of the company and (if possible) your interview board, ask informed questions, and approach the interview as a two way street: You are interviewing them/the company every bit as much as they are interviewing you.

Make sure you actually want to work at this place because you’ll probably be spending at least 40 hours of your life there every week.

Herbs are great and easy to grow.

Gardening is awesome. Just had some home made mashed potatoes with chives I grew.

Rice + blackbeans + whatever is around + a tortilla = poverty burritos

Also, potatoes in many forms.

This is why I just use my phone’s hotspot.

Maybe where you live, some other places are much, much more expensive.

If you want one, you could probably find a decent refurbished Thinkpad on eBay or something. Just make sure the radio it has is compatible with whatever spectrums your carrier uses. Tablets also have options for cellular radios.

You can also just buy a new one, but refurbs are good deals if you’re on a budget.

Good old AOL…

I’d agree. I kind of developed a Pavlovian response of excitement to the noise. Back then though, the Internet was nothing like it is now though. There was a time when we didn’t even have websites, we had stuff like Internet Relay Chat (still around actually), Usenet, and subscription services like America Online. There was Gopher, but it really wasn’t the same as the web.

Connecting to dialup and listening to computers scream at each other over the phone line.
