Hey, universe, could we maybe cool it with all the chilling reminders that our entire society is run by fucking toddlers clapping their hands and giggling because brown people city go boom?
The system was built by their parents to keep their children in power. Modern leadership is a metastization of generations of children who have played the entire game of life on their dead parent's save file.
They spawned into the world with diamond armor, but don't even know how to collect wood
I did webhosting and had a bunch of Class C allocations 😊
Now if I need one single address they make me document how it's used and why I can't just use another IP I already have. 😂
I believe that if you're right wing almost anywhere you can just ignore court orders. But if you're not, then you better life a perfect life or they're coming for you.
Male Democrats, and party-neutral men who don’t support Trump or MAGA aren’t lonely. My husband and I have a very fulfilling and happy marriage.
It’s not a “male” loneliness epidemic, it’s an “asshole” loneliness epidemic. The good news is that it’s a curable condition, men can stop being assholes
I, on the other hand, welcome it. This is the party of Nixon, Reagan, Bushes, and, now, Trump in the modern era. At each turn it has been blatantly corrupt, openly homophobic, disgustingly sexist, beholden to White Fundamentalist Christianity Supremacy, gilded, and arrogantly privileged.
As a woman with straight/bi guy friends, I can assure you the answer is yes. TBH if I'm _actually_ friends with someone, there's a 90% chance I'd be down*
*only if their partner is cool with it. I ain't helping a man cheat, not ever.
Can you believe this person out here lying to me like this
(but really do unclench and relax though)
I know what happens when you hold an internal modem in your hand while it's still plugged into the phone line and someone calls you. (It hurts, if your fingers were in contact with the solder points on the card...)

My oldest domain was purchased in 1999. My first domain (no longer active) was purchased in 1995, and it had to be done via the US Postal Mail because there was no mechanism to buy and pay online. **I literally mailed them a check.**
In case it helps, if it's on a domain you own, you could just forward all the email to a free mailbox you don't have to pay for (obviously you have to pay for the domain still). I'm uncozy with having someone else own my identity (like Gmail/etc) so I use my own domain instead, but host anywhere.
I was 19 and living in rural Kansas. Her showing up right when 9/11 happened was like some kind of huge bomb that went off. Or maybe dynamite. It dislodged me from my "safe" job and forced me to go far, far away (PNW woot woot!) much like dynamite would do... but also quite painful.
We also had a kid together. He'll be 24 years old this year... 😱
so she was stuck in our apartment. She flirted with me ... and he got angry and *moved out* (like, what dude?) and she and I ended up sleeping together. I moved with her to her hometown a few months later. That's my story of how I got to my favorite place on earth (she was a terrible partner though)
My friend and I were debating about who was hot, and I told him to go to HotOrNot[dot]com and send me a list of people he thought were hot. We agreed on one person, and he ended up dating her, then she flew to visit, and it was right after 9/11 and she couldn't leave because her ID expired /cont
Not to compete with you, but my email is older than Gmail (and I imported it all in).
I made a whole OS shell in Hypercard, replacing the regular Finder for most things. I did it for a friend that literally wanted a point and click UI that was even less complicated. It was fun :)
It's not how long it was, it's how you used it.
Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72
“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit
Screenshot of a Tweet by Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) DHS Secretary Kristi Noem now treading in some dangerous waters. She testified in the Senate this week that President Trump approved of & was aware of a $200 million ad campaign that featured her prominently. Trump now tells @Reuters in a phone call he didn't sign off on it. "I never knew anything about it," Trump said.
So if she was fired because she said this publicly and Orange says he doesn't know anything about it, does that mean we should just get people to admit shitty stuff publicly so he can "not know anything about it" and fire them?
(also this costs _way_ more $ than whatever they're supposedly saving)
A 4 panel cartoon of a person in a backwards green ball cap who is looking at a desktop computer on a desk with a steaming cup of coffee next, all in an ordinary kind of room. Panel 1: The person has a horrified look on their face whole ostensibly scrolling their social media timeline on their computer. They exclaim: "POLICE ARE HUNTING PEOPLE FOR SPORT?!" Panel 2: The same person is now looking much more relaxed while still looking at their social media timeline on a desktop computer, and says laughingly: "A chubby penguin! Haha" Panel 3: The same person, now angry as well as upset, is still looking at their social media on their computer. They then yell: " THE PRESIDENT ATE A BABY?!" Panel 4: Same person, same social media scrolling on desktop computer. They look calm and relaxed again, and say with a smile: "A kitten! Haha"
Maybe someday OP will actually use alt text. Until then, we have heroes like you.
A person sits on an NYC subway car holding up a bright red book titled “Capitalists Must Starve: A Novel” with the spine also visible. They wear a white puffer jacket and glasses, a black backpack resting on their lap. Behind them on the subway wall is an MTA Arts & Design Poetry Society of America poster featuring a poem by Jeffrey Gibson titled “I AM A RAINBOW TOO, 2020,” with a colorful geometric design. The subway seats are orange and the car has the characteristic stainless steel poles and panels.
I hope whoever this person is, has a very damn good day. I want this book lol
Jesus has the chance to do the funniest thing ever
Voting to rip down an inclusive message is full ass absurdity.
"Your daily reminder that fascism is much worse than inflation." Pictured are Nazi German soldiers standing at attention, directed by Hitler.
I'm offended that nobody got the joke.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
now if memory serves we get a good ruling just before they do something heinous
“Refunds … would have significant consequences for the U.S. Treasury”
I know the feeling. I robbed a bank and when I got caught, they made me return the money. It had significant consequences for my finances, and it wasn’t fair.
