Are people, eventually, going to tread on corpses to board the tram, unmasked?

Look, I'm just saying that if the meritocracy was real, there wouldn't be the good marvel movies and the bad marvel movies.
There are few things as distressing as an unexpectedly wet cat.

I know most of you already know this but I'll say it again just in case: all internet travels at the same speed,
your broadband "speed" actually just describes the capacity of the internet pipe connected to your house.
Just keep going on this thread, it took me a moment to realize what was going on too.

Did y'all know that you can get an apartment complex to fill all their potholes by repeatedly spray painting rude things about the manager in the potholes?

So Gary Vee is back to selling wine again. While it's nice to see that con man get back to real work, I think this might actually be a bad sign for the rest of us.

I bought an actual croissant that had been turned into a lamp by a Japanese artist who I found on the internet and she sent me a small bag of croutons made from the removed bread to make the lamp as a thank you and

Young Americans Foundation who funds @YAF_UB has a budget of more than $35 million. It’s primarily funded by the DeVos family. The same anti-public education, anti-CRT, pro-privatization, MLM Amway scamming people.

Not only does Elon Musk not have a clue what he’s talking about, but this is *exactly* what he tried to do at PayPal, claiming it needed a full “V2” rewrite of the code when it didn’t.

Last month, I wrote about Elon Musk’s time at PayPal and how he’s repeating his mistakes from that period: https://www.disconnect.blog/p/elon-musk-wants-to-relive-his-start

@A7medHamdy111 We speak coded incantations that get turned into numbers that get turned into lightening that zaps a small rock and forces it to make decisions and do work. Definitely magic.
