The number of upvotes suggests that people on here find it common for paper bags to not have handles, which is just completely weird and stupid. Shut down all the governments until they know how to handle bags.

The only thing I think you really need plastic bags for is trash. Need to be able to compress and tie.

Plastic bags for groceries was always a stupid nonsense. Paper bags fit more stuff, are easier to pack and their handles don’t turn into string that garrote your hands. And obviously the reusable grocery bags are superior to both. Two of those will last me like five years before they start becoming dubious. Can’t remember the last time I carried groceries in a classic plastic bag. I associate that with the 90s. Can’t believe it’s still a thing in any grocery store anywhere.

Using cold water is the quickest, most energy-efficient and convenient way to make tea. Or coffee. Or hot chocolate.

You do not hate the guy’s guts as much as anybody else, or as much as is reasonable. You do not in fact have to give it to the Nazi scum. Any success or credit is due to the employees of the companies the inept pathetic narcissistic pro-fascism scumfuck is undeservedly running, often on fire and into the ground. If the resources he’s hoarding would be allocated by a reasonable, competent and humanist entity, we would all be much better off. Musk would be better off the planet. Shame that he missed this flight.

I’ve noticed occasional “buffering” before playback starts through the past week or so. Takes like ten seconds before the video starts playing. Hasn’t been worse than that so far, knock on wood.

Youtube feels like an impossible service to actually compete with, whether through the enormous and complicated setup required or amassing creators/users. It’s basically a monopoly and it sucks. One will just have to resist Google’s bullshit using whatever means available for as long as possible.

John Lithgow reacted to the open letter mentioned in this article, sent to him by “a very good friend who is the mother of a trans child” by saying “Why is this a factor at all?” and expressing sympathy for the transphobic bigot.

So it’s unfortunate that he probably wouldn’t know what a social media is if it slammed him right in the asshole - which is the entirety of him - because he certainly sounds deserving of decades of hell. Especially from his now hopefully former “very good friend.”

What why?

The Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, said the situation between the two countries made it even more necessary to maintain close ties. “The problem is not too much involvement from the US in Europe. On the contrary, the risk is that the US will withdraw and move troops away or stop donations to Ukraine,” she said.

What on Bizarro World?
