1·5 hours agoProbably a CR/LF issue that whoever built the site to have basic text rendering be reliant on JS couldn’t be fucked to care about.
Have you looked into 80,000 Hours?

3·1 day agoI’m not generally one to complain about walls of text, but I’m not reading this despite my curiosity. Paragraphs exist and should be used. This just looks like a kid who couldn’t competently create a GeoCities page.

41·4 days agoThe tech-savvy relative should have had them on Firefox long ago. They don’t need a fork. Firefox will do.
There are a lot of people who appreciate tongue action. If you’re 32, I’ve got 15 years on you, and if you’re already thinking you have less ahead than behind, that’s going to be something internalized.
Being in stasis is getting old. I moved into this house nearly three months ago, and I only brought minimal belongings in because it’s been 100F the whole time. I figured I’d have a few days in June to pack out, but, c’est la vie.
Things are on the horizon … I fly to Arizona to spread my dad’s ashes at the end of October, and my ex-wife is providing ground transportation to AUS. The land search for the commune continues apace, but I have zero control over that.
But for right now … it’s still 100F as far as the eye can see. We were hoping for a bit of a cooldown from Edouard, but it turned north.

16·4 days agoIt’s hard to understand how anyone who was using uBO on Chrome was unaware this was coming. The Manifest V3 shit started years ago, and I expect uBO users to be more technically literate than the general public.

Humanities & Cultures@beehaw.org•AI vaginas, customisable personalities and fake bruises: the sex doll market is booming. Does it matter how the dolls are treated?English
3·6 days agoPart of what concerns me here is another trend, which is those rooms where you pay for an hour and get to smash dishes and such with a baseball bat. And now there’s a surplus of cheap, used sex dolls. It doesn’t take much to see a business plan here.

21·10 days agoI’ve been somewhat baffled by some of your posts as well.
But claiming that “dive bar” is a niche term is disingenuous.

Technology@beehaw.org•Meet Orexin, The Brain Chemical Behind Staying MotivatedEnglish
22·11 days agoThis is definitely one of those “the longer you look, the worse it gets” things.
At lower right, we apparently have a real-world option to turn off that damn noise. Moving slightly up, at the top of what appears to be a pneumatic lift towering to six inches are marshmallows or ice cubes. Both are an issue as they are known for not being pink.
We have avocado-shaped markings on these … what are they, anyway? The one on the left literally has a pig snout and ears, plus something from Tron designed for a dog.
To the right? The ultimate symbol of depravity (one notes Macavity wasn’t there). This is a rat who isn’t just evil (red … thing) but also poorly stroked. Can you imagine going through life with one or two points of white outline on your body?
Rats, as we know, famously enjoy caviar, hence our friend at the counter both speaking and thinking about red spheres.
