Hello, Pippi!

For a couple of years after Google Autocomplete rolled out it suggested adding “feet” to the end of any search I’d make on a famous woman’s name. I honestly didn’t get it at first. I’d never searched for feet in any context, so it wasn’t a personalized thing. I chalked it up either to other women wanting to see a pair of shoes she’d worn or to some weird Autocomplete bug. I’m not prudish, but the idea that so many people were into feet that they perved Google never crossed my mind.

John Taylor is so underrated as a bassist. He was amazing in that band.

YouTube ads come from the same domain as their video streams, so DNS-based ad blocking like PiHole can’t work on them.

If you sign up to be his legal advisor he’ll ignore your advice, push you to do things that will damage your reputation and/or violate the law, publicly insult you if you quit or refuse to do those things, and won’t pay you for your work. Most white-shoe law firms want nothing to do with him at this point but he somehow keeps finding qualified counsel. It’s weird.

Looks like it’s time to convert some of that empty San Francisco commercial real estate into Japan-style love hotels.

Ah, that's good to know. Thanks.

Even assuming my ancient Discord login still works (didn’t they make everyone change their names or something? idk if that affects accounts) it doesn’t look like you can use it on a phone without downloading the app, and I’m not doing that just to check for Lemmy announcements. Discuss controversial decisions there if you have to, but announce them here first.

SBF would still be on relatively lenient house arrest at his parent’s lovely Palo Alto home but he violated pretrial rules so many times (using forbidden encrypted communication channels, constantly giving interviews, manipulating witnesses) that he absolutely deserves being sent to jail. It’s an open question whether he’s been such a jackass out of some weird compulsion or as a desperate legal strategy. I guess we’ll find out at his trial.

I wouldn’t recommend that. I did it once for the same reason and got just as many spam calls plus debt collectors trying to reach the person who had the number before me.

Christ, this is almost Emmett Till-level vileness. How many times has this Goon Squad done Klan shit before without quite going “too far” and gotten away with it?
