What gmail did to email, was provide an insanely good spam filter compared to others. It was in their best interest to keep everyones ads out of your email except their own.

To this very day, I know nobody - NOBODY - who even comes close to Gmail's spam filtering capability.

Sorry, but chalk this up to lesson learned. It's almost always been this way. Domain squatters will do this all the time. In fact, some domain registrars will use you searching their site for an 'available' domain, and if you don't buy it up right away -- will buy it and hike the price and sit on it for years in order to lock it down, knowing you wanted it.

btw, Namecheap says Sunglocto dot com is like $10 - so just register a .com. Not through that Epik piece of shit that you used before. Legit, use Namecheap; they've never done me wrong and have been my registrar for more than a decade now.

This shit is absolutely atrocious and shows how far we've fallen.

Microsoft almost got broken up as a company over simply BUNDLING a browser. Now they're actively hijacking other installs to put big warnings up and redirecting to theirs. It's absolutely bonkers this is allowed.

It says information used for age checks will not be stored by Discord or the verification company.

Bullshit. Every time some bitch-ass company says this, 4-5 years later they're like "we were hacked, someone took everyone's photo IDs!"

There are a large number of people on Lemmy who believe that you could be literally Hitler and that a human life is still worth saving. To some, human life is some unwavering near-godlike thing that nobody should ever take away.

But I like math. And I know that sometimes a -1 gives you positive values.

'hacked'. Eh. There was an API endpoint left open that allowed them to basically just spam it with no rate limiting. They used the lack of a rate limit to just pull the data out of the API that it was made to produce.

"Gaming Chairs" are for idiot consumers. Office chairs are where it's at. Office chairs are designed to be sat in for 8+ hours a day.

Just tell them he was smoking marijuana. They don't want to deal with actual violent criminals. Those guys are scary.

Everyone is abandoning their safety advisory council just before elections...I wonder why...

Appeasement was a huge mistake. These dipshits all running around my town like LARPers with their damn confederate flags and shit.

If I knew who he was, I wouldn't tell a god damn soul.

This is the answer. Japan has a lot of respect for others (well, for other japanese at least), so these types of machines will last a lot longer; making the payoff more palatable.

Place a vending machine outside in America, and it'll be vandalized in a week max.

Even in highly walkable cities, you don't see vending machines. It has nothing to do with cars, it has to do with the culture of the US being one of disrespect most of the time.

RIP "are you waiting to receive my limp penis?" guy. He died a couple of months ago.

Thank god. I've got too many friends who "can't afford" anything, but order fucking uber eats almost daily. "woops, spent $70 on taco bell!", they'll laugh...

Shit needs to legitimately stop.

We are IN the timeline where a monkey wrote Shakespeare. That monkey was Shakespeare.

I'm praising Valve right now for all the work they've put into Proton.

This would have been hilarious if nobody had replied...

It's all in your head dude. Don't worry about it.

Bernie had this right. Despite being pretty progressive, he wasn't for outlawing semiautomatic firearms because they were black and looked scary. He believed that the right to arms was justified. This "AR Ban" is a great way to lose a lot of independents, and even some hard D voters like myself. There are a lot of dems who carry, and a lot of them who own the very firearms he wants to ban.

CenturyLink is doing this to their customers too -- Their contract says "If we raise the price, you can cancel the service with no penalties"

Doesn't that fucking negate the WHOLE purpose of a price guarantee?

The purpose of the price guarantee is to guarantee having that service at that price. The guarantee is guarantee of service too.
