The irony that my van is actually appreciating.

I’m generally not a fan of dollar pegs, but refloating the peso led to all sorts of problems. This is of course IMF related, but that might start getting a bit too wonky.

While true, that’s another topic of discussion.

Wait till people find out much of it runs north-south through New Mexico, which is part of the U.S., hence having to specify that fact on their license plates, and despite fans of the Terminator franchise having seen the gorge bridge just out of Taos. The bridge over the Rio Grande just south of Colorado.

You want to get me going on rivers? Colorado’s my starting point. How the hell do we have two of those?

I’m not going to go wildly out of the scope of the topic, but yes. Any reasonable person knows this is where fiat currency goes.

When’s the last time Argentina had a stable currency? Outside of it being pegged to the U.S. dollar.

The thing about drug rehab is it does nothing if you’re spat back out into the same situation without support. That’s literally the business model.

Realistically, Reddit has been useless for porn for quite some time.

Admins explain it here.

I don’t think there’s enough understanding domestically about what has happened to our standing globally. We’re not being made great again, we’re being made a toxic brand that others are trying to cut ties with. But hey, tariffs will fix that, right?

Remember when porn subs were people just having fun and posting instead of this endless stream of monetization efforts? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I arrived here in June 2023 as part of the interest in alternatives after the API changes were announced. We saw a spike in applications, so I expect that could happen again, though we’re not as major of an instance as we were back then. Lemmy.world will likely take the brunt of the influx, and as we’re not federated with them, the impact should be minimal.

I’m still on Reddit for niche communities, but I use it very differently from 20 months ago. I’ve grown to enjoy a collective of self-selecting people who want something better than what Reddit offers, which is less and less by the month.

God, that’s fucking heartbreaking. But don’t worry, that’s coming to the states as well (not that it hasn’t already been here, just at scale this time).

This line stands out:

You might argue that one cannot simply write these stories again and again, to which I say “skill issue.”

Gotta love a single point of failure where that point itself sounded the alarm.

The camera likely provides a rear view on OnlyFans.

Yeah, the clickbait hed suggested something far less actually interesting. This is a decent tale of using modern society to bootstrap a product. Wasn’t expecting the Porsche/BMW connection.

I was fine with it when it was wavy text to digitise old works. This shit is just asinine and a time sink.

“I see no trucks, only lorries.” Being on a VPN has been getting worse and worse with CAPTCHAs, almost like I’m being punished for telling my ISP they have no right to sell the details of my internet use since I’m paying them.

It’s a lot easier to determine the intent of this hed with the quote being closed somewhere. Just after “service” would have been my guess, but it’s a disservice to remove that and leave people dangling.

My larger issue is that when I’m faced with traffic lights – or, god forbid, motorcycles – this is performative nonsense wherein I’m supposed to guess percentage coverage on a given square without having been provided parameters.

At this point, CAPTCHAs feel designed to make sure you can never get through the first time, thus needing to continue training image models several times before I can just fucking do what I originally came to the site for.
