Is it really by default? I had it on for a long, long time but thoughts others had it off by default. Now I have it off by default too but turn it on for people I actually care about.

Does this need to be a share.google tracking link?

You can block in-app tracking and ads largely with DNS-based blocking.

I’m weak as shit and I could kick his ass. I’m not even the kind of guy that would say something like this but fuck it, this guy fucking sucks.

For me I think growing up constantly told “you’re so smart, you’ll figure it all out” was more detrimental than helpful. It led me to believe I’d cruise through life pretty easily. I’m happy with where life’s taken me and the point I’m at now but I could’ve gotten there a lot faster if I would’ve applied myself more. Just because a kid is into computers doesn’t mean they’ll be some sort of genius.

I feel this way about 90% of smells. I really hate candles (even ones that smell fantastic) because it feels like the air is poisoned.

Having quit smoking/vaping a year ago I’m still shocked by how nasty people smell in public. We all know Los Angeles has some stench (piss and shit everywhere) but in places like theaters, Costco or other packed retail stores, etc. I’m just blown away by how bad it all smells.

Right? I couldn’t get any retailer in the Los Angeles, CA (USA) area to accept shopping bags, forget cereal bags. Happy that the state sued the shit out of them then banned plastic bags though: it always sucked when I’d forget my bag and I’d have to pay for that thick-ass plastic shit.

I do still struggle with plastic bags in packaging still though because my waste management company doesn’t accept them.

I’m in the same boat but my wife doesn’t cook meat often. She also doesn’t like pork.

I have been around some old friends in the Midwest though who were cooking pork chops and yeah, you’re completely right: the smell is much nastier.

Disgusting as fuck. I never cooked raw meat at home as an adult and eventually after some years I went full on vegan. Why continue eating animals when it’s completely unnecessary?

What’s with the random artwork though?

I just use multiple VPN tunnels with the first two hops still in the US (so it doesn’t look like I’m going offshore) with random delays along the way (to avoid timing analysis) to a Lemmy instance in a privacy-friendly country.

They could probably still figure out who I am if they tried hard enough though.

Yikes, cow’s milk?

Shutting doors when the A/C or heater is on. Apparently closing doors behind you is rocket science out here in California.

Oh wow, what year is it?

I get like this if I have a good weekend, trip or vacation. It’s supposedly supposed to make you feel better in life but for me the stress beforehand (if it’s a big trip) and the depression afterward almost make it easier to bury my head in work and not peak too far outside my little bubble.

I had to do some digging because I remembered something similar too.

Fuck me that’s good; I absolutely love it

I put black beans in my chili

Right, I should’ve clarified that “other than the news media I don’t think anyone takes him seriously.”
