I have kids. I wouldn’t trade them for the world. 90% of the time, they’re fine. The other 10%, I’m so angry but I can’t be angry for long because they didn’t do anything I didn’t do as a kid.
Hard to say if I regret anything. Too young and I would have struggled financially, nor was I mature enough. Too old and I would have struggled to keep up.
You’re going to have a divide here. There’s people who REALLY hate the idea of kids. Then you have the crazy-ass breeder religious folks who are so judgemental. Asking for validation from the internet about kids is silly imo. Everyone has a motive.
Rather than ask friends, family, strangers on the internet… Treat it like a lifestyle change. Read books about parenting. If that doesn’t align with you, then you have your answer.
I need one of those “where do you draw the line” memes but with the balls and penis
Wait what?!
Why is Italians… When it’s Americans… I’m so confused!
Me working with small businesses to switch off of Instagram
That particular one doesn’t have the same energy to it, especially one where the conversation is so heated.
There are home users of Microsoft 365?
I’m not shaming but I kinda am. Like WTF is wrong with you? You pay for free shit.
Office employees don’t get to choose.
Key word is “some”. And it’s not someone, it’s a whole group of people. I was part of it.
There’s still a lot missing. It was only because when geocities was going to get deleted, a large group of web scrapers pulled together to grab as much as possible.
Then, we manually combined all of them to try to piece together this internet history.
Things not crawled are gone. Things geocities have already been deleted before the announcement is gone.
The worst part is Yahoo gave the heads up. Most hosting companies don’t. And many delete behind the scenes, like Photobucket if you don’t log in for a long time. Or forums when they stop paying the bills.
So when outreach workers from a Baltimore anti-violence program offered to help him stay safe and leave the streets behind, he didn’t necessarily have high expectations.
Two years later, Grant has an apartment and a full-time job with the city’s Department of Public Works. He recently started his own business that provides cleaning, landscaping and junk removal services. He plans to hire other young men from his old neighborhood to show them what is possible with hard work.
It’s very newsworthy to share about how everything goes to shit.
I remember right out of high school, Columbine happened, Rodney King was still fresh and the fast erosion of American freedom with Bush & TSA & immigrants. Combined with growing up in the ghetto and living off food stamps (if you are lucky) made it feel like life was incredibly hostile.
And all it took was some really kind people to show me what’s possible if I work hard at something and push forward.
These are good initiatives.
You weren’t kidding! This is a rollercoaster ride of incredible twists and turns!
The problem, according to three former Cooler Screens executives and a former Yahoo executive, was that their clients thought of the screens as “shopper marketing,” an old-timey ad category that covered in-store promos like the balloons or cardboard displays that clerks hang over cases of beer. Spending in this area was far lower than the more lucrative digital ad rates Avakian hoped to charge. One of the former Cooler Screens execs says that Avakian wanted marketing dollars well above what the industry was willing to pay and that his lieutenants could be preposterously condescending on calls with the Yahoo sales team, which at times devolved into shouting matches. “The Yahoo people hated them!” this former exec says. “Their MO was to ride them [Yahoo] like Secretariat.” (A Cooler Screens spokesperson says that this description is inaccurate and that Avakian’s relationship with Yahoo executives remained positive.)
Condescending calls with Yahoo sales team. Fucking hilarious.
If it helps, they also lock a lot of product, requiring employees to come and help customers directly.

It’s like they made their stores as hostile as possible to shop in.
They just keep finding interesting ways to fail!
Right? You can’t stop the porn and these barriers is only to create an artificial market.
But whatever. The more people become anonymous on the internet, the better.
Never owned a house, so for the past decade, I ran wiring up the side of stairs and to the side of walls.
Last year during the move, I’ve been too lazy and got wireless. Been fine for us! We’re also not playing anything that requires low ping or anything.
Once I own a house and can drill holes, I’m absolutely going back to wires.
Incredible stuff! Cat6?
Been a dream project for years but when I first explored it a decade ago, cat6 was still new and expensive, and wasn’t recommended because “who needs internet that fast”.
What a twist. In the 90s, the internet forced countries to wake up to the new modern era. It was a combination of American companies wanting both to expand and provide goodwill.
And now, this new era is going to tell American companies to fuck off.
$125k over five years is stupid. That’s $25k a year for five years.
GoDaddy made 4.481B last year.
For math nerds, that’s 179,240 times the penalty.
Got a cold email? &hit them with that sweet chat gbt copy pasta!
Wait what? Can you give me more details?
Sorry I’m too American because I bend over and accept corporate penetration.
That’s correct! Not very common for dealerships to accept a credit card for the payment, even a down payment.
And I didn’t feel comfortable handing them cash directly.
I guess I could have given them my debit card. But giving them a check with a paper trail seemed more secure in my head. Uncertain if that’s true or not.
Well yeah. It’s when you shove your ✏️ into the magnetic tape so you can destroy it because it contained evidence of the time you pooped the bed and then tried to toss it out the window.
Now ✏️ and cassette are a different thing.
I was reading about how creepy some patients would be with female nurses and ask for help holding up their penis to pee or other gross shit.
And the solution was to either arrange the pervert to get more intrusive tests since they obviously can’t hold their own dick, or send in the Murses.
What I’m saying is you call staff, be ready if a sweaty beast of a person who smells of stale corn chips is ready to help you get off.
