Good answer. Will have to check that out (only read Earthsea so far)

Pic unrelated. Apparently I had to add one before posting so this is just the latest pic I was sent.

So… by giggling at farts I’m not masculine? :(

I remember back when it used to be full of experts or professionals talking educated sense about things. Then I noticed the general standard dropping down to about my level of intelligence/knowledge - which is not great - and then sinking ever lower to the point it’s barely worth reading anymore.

Similar thing with Quora.

Sometimes, keeping things elitist is good.

Is it consistent though? Are all Chinese goods subject to the same refusal, or just planet-saving ones?

Apparently about 70% as pleasurable and addictive as Cocaine.

Is it really down to shareholder demand though? I’ve a suspicion that it goes a bit higher than that.

I don’t think it was the message of love that did it, more the implied message of “Jews are no longer the only people with the right to heaven and god - everyone is”

The Jewish people who saw the value/truth of this message became Christians. The ones who didn’t like the idea of not being The Chosen Folk anymore were the ones who called him a heretic

I’d cry if I wasn’t so angry

For all that it’s a trope, I’ve never seen a Pizza Delivery Guy or a Plumber/Handyman themed porn clip.

Use TAILS on a USB drive, and keep the USB drive somewhere nobody would think of looking. Underneath the tissues in an open box, buried in a jar outside, or just on a keyring unless you’re worried about being taken in yourself

Definitely sends false info as to what kind of products you might like to buy, and maybe what kind of products are worth advertising on the sites you visit, but personally I’d rather send the message “I’m not at all interested, ignore me”

Doesn’t that mean even more agents will know what websites you visit?

Is there a solar panel factory anywhere powered entirely by solar panels? That’d be pretty awesome

Unfortunately, the current announced budget is designed to make pretty much everyone in the country much poorer by 2030
