Well there’s two different things that people who relate to this picture may want: either the nature or the solitude (sometimes both); for the second, part of the fantasy is that they would never have to deal with anyone.
In reality what people want may be completely different, but the picture passes the message better.
Greentext knows its green stuff.
In the early century I’ve seen companies bundle an entire pc (with case and all) inside their own products just to avoid dealing with windows CE.
So he’s saying one day it may make sense to get one? Great sales pitch.
Top headline will be about some new word the young generation is using. The smaller pieces will say stuff like “are you morally opposed to murder? That may cost you your job! 12 out the 14 companies in America say they wouldn’t hire someone with antique puritane views”
And people would also track down and document what race people used to be before the change happened so that they could keep on hating too.
If I say “it’s here” she’ll run towards any window to bark.
It became mandatory for all new products in 2011, so a few years after that most people were used to it, though there’s many people still using adapters to this day.
Oh I didn’t know that! Gonna have to take a trip through some old photos one of these days.
You know what? I just realized I haven’t actually tried to open a webp file in years. I’m just so used to cancelling the save dialog and taking a screenshot instead when I see a webp extension, I didn’t even consider it might actually be supported now.
He’s probably no longer there, the pic is quite old and Google has updated a lot of its street view stuff over the years. Unless this is some place where 2012 was the first time that google decided to map - in that case it may be pretty low on the priority list for updating.
Type N might not be the best but it was like a gift from heavens here in Brazil. We had no standard before it so most outlets would take one or two unsafe options; most houses would not ground their outlets, people would yank out the ground pin from plugs to make them fit; washing machines would often come with a completely different plug that some houses would just have a different outlet for, while others would use adapters. And so many other issues.
Nowadays you don’t even need to see what you’re doing because you can just stick your hand into outlets to feel where it is and insert the plug blindly without any risk.
Is there any average differences in hormones between gay and straight people of the same gender?
What people don’t realize is that the Dems have generally been pretty happy with the way things were going. They don’t mind losing elections from time to time if that means they continue to occasionally win without changing in any way.
It’s basically a fight of demands and consequences. If the people want a better government and threaten not to vote for Dems if they are not gonna get it, the Dems have to choose between improving or losing one election. If the Dems want to stay the same, the people have to choose between letting them stay the same or getting something much worse from the GOPs.
The question then becomes: on the long term, who can better endure the consequences of their choice, the people or the Democratic party?
If you want the Dems to lose and learn a lesson, you (and everyone else around you) will need them to continue losing until they do learn, otherwise you’ll be facing consequences without any benefits.
As someone with no interest in predominantly NSFW games, it does bother me a bit that that is the most common type of game that show up for me unless I disable NSFW completely.
But my problem is exclusively with the algorithm and not with those games. I’m surprised that in 2025 a 200+ hour rpg with one implied sex scene may get tagged with the same ‘NSFW’ category as a Sex Simulator type of game, with no way to hide one without also hiding the other.
All itch.io had to do was create a “monetization-unfriendly” tag and aplly it to those games and hide them behind an opt-in toggle (with some proper notification for current users). They could even target their ads based on that toggle and get even happier advertisers with it.
I think I had a Mandela effect. I had clear memories of news breaking out about Epic Games acquiring itch.io, but googling for it now, all I see is references to when they added it to their own store.
Tbh it took longer than I expect for the new owners to start ducking itch.io
Sorry I think I hallucinated some events.
The kind you get from social media randos.
I didn’t even start listening to music until I was already an adult.
Ah, so you admit schools are indoctrinating kids?
