I joked about pineapple on pizza before. But honestly, I don’t really mind it. Even without ham, a little bit of pineapple tastes okay to me.
Thin crust with extra pineapple and nothing else. 😜
No, but seriously, my favorite are the thin-ish crust ones my wife makes with fresh dough, with regular sauce, mushrooms, and olives on it.
If either of them has ever watched Office Space they will probably laugh about it.
Go there in dirty, wet fishing gear and holding a large fresh fish. Slap the fish on the table, pull out a sharp knife, and go to town skinning and filleting it, all while giving a very earnest assessment of where the company is going wrong. But keep a big grin on your face the whole time.
Bonus points if you call everyone in the interview ‘Ron’ the whole time.
Sounds fun. Someone should have that baby Trump blimp join the party.
I don’t have a direct answer to your question. But I advise caution in putting your creative works online in the way you are planning. Between people plagiarizing it (either word for word or just the broader concepts) and AIs doing similar things, you could find that your work gets stolen.
Self-publishing might at least give you a bit of inherent copyright protection. Then at least you will have an ISBN associated to it, and you can always host your stories somewhere (WordPress, Medium, etc.).
If you want to self-publish your stories a free service like Smash Words would work.
No, you are correct about the number of posts. But it looks like the community is only about 2 weeks old. And if they focus on quality over quantity that post count isn’t a bad thing.
To add to point #3, they can also sell on the customer data they collect to marketing companies for added revenue.
“As a very rich person I was just unlucky to hit some health problems in this experiment. But all those yucky poor people? Nah, that’s morning to do with bad luck. That’s just bootstraps and laziness.” -Douchebag clueless millionaire experimenter
Despite falling short of his financial goal, Black said his journey showcased the power of determination and the importance of health and family
So he learned absolutely nothing about the plight of countless millions of people. Got it.
I’m not sure, but I suspect it’s where they have malt shakes and ice cream socials, and dance the jitterbug to the Big Bopper.
Where I live there are a few little mom-and-pop dry cleaning businesses that do clothing alterations for a reasonable price.
So now they are The Leering Channel.
This sounds like my old place, but much worse.
We used to have laptops we had to lock in a cabinet (yeah, one of those cabinets with a really puny lock that’s easy to pick). And we had to log into n old mainframe system that had numerous environment instances which each required a unique password that had to be changed every 90 days.
We (the software devs) basically rebelled on the laptop situation and insisted they find a better solution. Thankfully they changed policy and of allowed the laptops to be locked into our docking stations, which in turn were locked to our desks.
As for the mainframe system credential management, I tried using a standard third party password manager, but a) it wasn’t a good fit for the credentials, and b) the sys admins or security team forcibly uninstalled it because it wasn’t sanctioned software (even though it was a well-respected and actively maintained one). And our security group refused to go out and find one.
So being a dev, I wrote my own desktop password manager for the mainframe credentials. It was decently secure, but nowhere near as secure as a retail password manager. But it fit the quirks of the mainframe credentials requirements. And after my colleagues and manager did a code review of it, it was considered internal software, and thus fit for use.
As I was leaving they were in the process of removing all our local admin rights (without a clear path on how to accommodate for us developers debugging code - fun times ahead!).
But all of those annoyances pale in comparison to the shit you are having to deal with! Holy hell, that sounds like pure misery! I’m sorry.
I hear ya. I’m dragging my heels on introducing social media to my kids. One of them is reaching a point where his friends are getting into it. Thankfully, so far he’s not really that interested. Also, my wife and I are taking the time to prime him about the dos and don’ts of social media, so hopefully he will have better awareness.
But between corporations and degenerate creeps preying on kids and teenagers (especially girls), it’s a troubling time to be a parent or guardian.
I’m fine with a ban on Tiktok. I think that platform adds nothing of significant value to society, and a lot of problems instead. But the bigger problem is that we need better accountability and safeguards for social media companies in general. And only targeting Tiktok because of their current ownership doesn’t get us there.
He’s totally fine, plus now he can pick up radio signals from all over the known universe.
Nice! Thanks.
Me too.
Let’s do it. Let’s make a rain community here!
